Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Don’t Blame Me for Disregarding Your Status
The person Guo Chunxiang was introducing was, of course, no saint. If the girl were really that great, why would she be willing to send her to Shen Jian’s family?
She had already received quite a few benefits before coming. If this marriage arrangement succeeded, there would be even more rewards later.
For the sake of these benefits, Guo Chunxiang was certainly willing to put in the effort.
She originally thought she had Shen Jian Country’s family completely under her thumb. She was sure she could settle this marriage arrangement in no time.
Who would have known that before Shen Jian Country and his wife could even say a word, Shen Nian would cause such a scene? How could Guo Chunxiang not be furious!
If this marriage fell through, not only would she miss out on future rewards, but she’d also have to return the benefits she had already received.
With that in mind, Guo Chunxiang’s tone naturally soured.
"You wretched girl! I’m here to discuss this with your parents. What right does a little brat like you have to make decisions? Your older brother’s marriage is for your parents to handle. Mind your own business!"
Guo Chunxiang truly despised Shen Nian now. From the moment she arrived today, Shen Nian had opposed her at every turn. Never mind the god-awful food from before, but now she was making her lose face like this!
"Aunt Chunxiang, out of respect for you as an elder, I’m letting it slide. But I don’t want to hear another insulting word about Xiao Nian from you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding your status as an elder!"
Lu Cheng was right beside Shen Nian, so he could most clearly sense Guo Chunxiang’s attitude toward her.
This was his wife, whom he couldn’t dote on enough. How could he possibly tolerate her being insulted by Guo Chunxiang right here?
If it weren’t for the fact that she was a relative of Shen Nian’s family and he didn’t want to make things too ugly, he might have just kicked her right out the door.
It wouldn’t be the first time he’d kicked a woman, after all.
"You..."
Although Guo Chunxiang was arrogant and domineering, she was just an ignorant village woman. Lu Cheng’s words carried his tough-guy aura, and under that pressure, Guo Chunxiang was so frightened that she stumbled back several steps.
Even after Lu Cheng retracted his intimidating presence, Guo Chunxiang didn’t dare to spare him another glance.
’This monster is terrifying! How can Shen Jian Country’s family even stand him?’
In the first place, even if Shen Nian hadn’t stepped up to object, Shen Jian Country and Miao Cuifen wouldn’t necessarily have accepted Guo Chunxiang’s proposal.
As parents, they only wanted their children to have good lives. Shen Xiangdong was indeed at the age for marriage, but they weren’t looking for someone with a great family background or stunning looks. As long as she was a good person, would be good to their son, and their son liked her, that was enough.
They just hadn’t expected Shen Nian to speak up first. They didn’t mind, though. It was only natural for a sister to be concerned about her brother’s marriage.
Besides, what Shen Nian said was more or less what they were thinking anyway.
But they never imagined Guo Chunxiang would be so rude to Shen Nian, repeatedly, right in front of them. Shen Nian was the most doted-on person in the Shen family. Insulting Shen Nian was tantamount to insulting the entire Shen Family!
Now, it wasn’t just that they hadn’t planned on accepting in the first place. Even if they had been on the fence before, they would absolutely refuse now.
"Sister-in-law..."
Just as Miao Cuifen and Shen Jian Country were about to voice their condemnation, Shen Xiangdong, who was standing to the side, stopped them.
Shen Xiangdong shook his head at Miao Cuifen and Shen Jian Country before turning to look at Guo Chunxiang.
"Aunt Chunxiang, even if what Xiao Nian says about my marriage doesn’t count, surely I can have some say in it myself..."
