Chapter 40 Disagreement on Marriage

Chapter 40 Disagreement on Marriage

"Crack!"

The cup hit the floor.

Finally, the people in the hall reacted.

Everyone looked astonished, amazed, and disbelieving.

Liu Xin stood to the side, smugly. Seeing the reactions of everyone in the hall, she laughed and said, "Everyone, you don't need to be so shocked. My cousin's face has always been this terrifying. Haven't you seen it before? It was only my good-for-nothing ex-husband who could tolerate it and had no choice but to marry such an ugly woman."

However, as Liu Xin's words fell.

She found everyone looking at her with strange expressions and peculiar looks.

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what had happened.

"My heavens, truly worthy of being the former number one beauty of Qingzhou."

"I never imagined that Liu Ran's appearance had been restored. I remember she was incredibly beautiful four years ago, and now she's even more beautiful by three points!"

"Even though she was beautiful before, she was just a twenty-year-old girl. But now, she's simply a celestial fairy, worthy of pity and admiration."

"Earlier, I thought Liu Ran wasn't good enough for Chen Yang, but now I realize that even if Chen Yang knew Zhou Sinian, he would absolutely not be worthy of a woman like Liu Ran."

People in the hall exclaimed one after another.

Liu Xin heard this and quickly turned her head.

The moment she saw Liu Ran, she froze.

Her cousin, whom she had always looked down upon as ugly.

Had somehow transformed into a super beauty, stunning at first glance, and captivating upon second.

Her facial scars hadn't just healed; more importantly, the years had left no trace on her face, keeping her as delicate and youthful as a twenty-year-old.

There were no traces of age, yet she possessed the gentle grace of a mature woman and the alluring charm of a newlywed.

Was this woman truly Liu Ran?

"No... impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Liu Xin screamed wildly, lunging towards Liu Ran's face.

"Crack!"

Chen Yang stepped forward and slapped Liu Xin across the face, sending her flying.

"You... you good-for-nothing, how dare you hit me in public!" Liu Xin clutched her face. "We were married for a year, and I ordered you to fetch foot-washing water, and you didn't dare refuse. Now you dare to hit me!"

Chen Yang looked at Liu Xin with a cold expression. "That was the past. When you married me, you were my woman, and naturally, I protected you. But now, my heart belongs only to my wife, Liu Ran. If you dare to hurt her, I'll swallow you alive!"

Chen Yang's eyes were terrifyingly cold. By the end, it was as if he wasn't making a threat, but merely stating a fact!

Seeing Chen Yang's gaze, Liu Xin shivered and instinctively took a few steps back, daring not to provoke Chen Yang further.

The entire banquet hall erupted in an uproar.

Yang Long was even more astonished. He stared intently at Liu Ran's appearance and couldn't help but swallow.

He truly never imagined that this little thing could be so beautiful, comparable to a fairy!

No wonder... no wonder the eldest young master of the Bai family, Bai Leitian, would go to any lengths to obtain Liu Ran back then!

It turned out she was indeed worth driving men mad.

Chen Yang gently bent down, took out a scarf, and softly draped it over Liu Ran.

Feeling the heated gazes from all around, Liu Ran lowered her head and said softly, "Chen Yang, let's go."

"Okay!"

"No!"

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out.

It was the Liu family matriarch.

Old Mrs. Liu shouted, "Stop right there! I do not agree to this marriage!"

Saying this, Old Mrs. Liu, along with the people at the table, walked directly towards Chen Yang and Liu Ran.

The entire banquet hall buzzed with commotion.

No one expected such a twist.

They had received their marriage certificates, bought gifts, and toasted with drinks.

And now, the matriarch suddenly disapproved.

Old Mrs. Liu approached and extended her hand, taking Liu Ran's.

Old Mrs. Liu said gently, "Little Ran, you've worked hard all these years. Grandma knows your family hasn't had an easy time, and Grandma worries. After all, you and your father are my flesh and blood. How could I not love you! It's just that Grandma couldn't help you all these years for a reason; Grandma really had no choice!"

Old Mrs. Liu's acting skills were truly commendable.

Liu Ran was moved for a moment and immediately said, "Grandma, please don't say that. It's all in the past. Now Chen Yang and I have received our certificates, so..."

"No! I cannot let my precious granddaughter marry someone who delivers takeout!" Old Mrs. Liu immediately stated.

Chen Yang stood beside Liu Ran and, seeing this, gave a cold laugh. "You're not reluctant to let her marry me. You're probably just seeing that Ran'er's appearance has been restored, and you want to use her to curry favor with the Bai family. You're always thinking about how to use Liu Ran as a bargaining chip with the Bai family, aren't you!"

Liu Ran's body trembled upon hearing Chen Yang's words.

She also instantly understood.

Liu Ran immediately shook off Old Mrs. Liu's arm, took a step back, looked at her grandmother, and said loudly, "Grandma, Chen Yang and I have already received our certificates. We are officially and legally married, and it cannot be changed. I do not look down on his profession. I love him, so you don't need to think any further."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu's face turned deathly pale with anger!

But she knew she couldn't push too hard!

Once, the Liu family had an opportunity to soar!

That was to align themselves with the Bai family.

The eldest young master of the Bai family, Bai Leitian, had taken a liking to Liu Ran, and the Bai family was willing to marry her with full honors. In that case, her granddaughter would become the Bai family's designated young madam, and perhaps even a future madam of the Bai family!

The Bai family was the foremost family in the entire Jiang Province. Bai Leitian's status even surpassed that of Zhou Sinian!

How could Old Mrs. Liu miss such an opportunity?

Therefore, she used all sorts of means to ensure her granddaughter married into the Bai family.

It was a pity that Liu Ran adamantly refused, even incurring the Bai family's resentment.

More importantly, in her junior year, Liu Ran's face was suddenly scalded by her roommate.

Instantly, she transformed into the most hideous monster, and her injuries were beyond repair!

Seeing this, the Bai family became even more enraged and vented all their anger upon the Liu family.

And Liu Ran's family suffered even more miserably.

Recalling these events, Old Mrs. Liu sighed repeatedly, lamenting that the Liu family had failed to seize that perfect opportunity.

And now.

Her granddaughter had miraculously regained her beauty, and even become more stunning!

How could she miss such a heaven-sent opportunity again!

Old Mrs. Liu understood that she couldn't rush things this time; she had to take it slow.

Old Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ran and said, "Ran'er, don't be anxious. Grandma is truly doing this for your own good. Since you and Chen Yang have received your certificates and are willing to get married, Grandma will bless you. However, you haven't had a wedding ceremony yet, so you cannot consummate your marriage. If you break this rule, you'll be a completely shameless woman, and you'll disgrace the ancestors of our Liu family!"

Liu Ran blushed upon hearing this and quickly said, "Grandma, there's no need to say such things in this setting. I understand the rules... I understand, and Chen Yang and I will have our wedding as soon as possible."

Old Mrs. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Little Ran, you're already twenty-six, and you were a university student from a prestigious university. Grandma still has high hopes for you. How about this, you and Chen Yang sit down. From now on, you'll have a say in our Liu family's business plans. Come and sit."
