Chapter 891: As Long As She Wasn’t Ugly


    "If you have no rtionship with her, why did you agree to the engagement? You saw Chen Lanying''s


    photo, so you must have thought that she was pretty too, right?" After Jiang Yao said that, she snorted


    sourly. "I saw Chen Lanying. She''s beautiful."


    "What''s so pretty about her? I can''t even remember what she looks like now!" Lu Xingzhi growled; he


    was so anxious that he was a little angry. "I agreed because my mother was in a hurry to get a


    daughter-inw. She called me every single day. I only agreed because I was tired of being tormented.


    When my mother sent me the photo, I didn''t even look at it at all. Fourth Brother took those photos to


    look at them, and coincidentally, I had something to do at that time. When I got back, he had already


    lost the photos, and I didn''t even know how he lost them. Fourth Brother told me that Chen Lanying


    looked average, so when my mother asked me, I told her the same thing."

    Lu Xingzhi had agreed to the engagement because he felt tormented by his mother''s enthusiasm. He


    had to get her a daughter-inw, and so he told his mother to get someone she thought was suitable.


    He would agree to marry her as long as there was no conflict between the woman and his mother. He


    did not even care if he did not get along with her. After all, he was in the army, and he had no intention


    of bringing anyone there with him.


    At that time, he only had one thought. He just wanted to marry someone who got along well with his


    family. If they needed him to have a child, then he would give him one. He would do that willingly. It


    would be fine as long as the woman was not ugly. He did not want an ugly child; he was afraid that he


    would not be able to love an ugly child.


    "To put it bluntly, at that time, I wanted to marry a wife and leave her at home to take care of my


    parents. So, it did not matter if my mother liked Chen Lanying, Chen Hongying, or Chen Luying, as long


    as she wasn''t ugly, I would agree to the marriage." Lu Xingzhi was very frank about that. "You were still


    young at that time, so I didn''t dare to think about marrying you. That was why all those things


    happened. However, after I thought it through, I managed to resolve that quickly, too, right?"


    Jiang Yao''s tone was indifferent. "You resolved it? Didn''t the Chen family reject you because they


    looked down on you and didn''t want you as their son-inw? If you''re in the countryside, you''re


    second-hand goods now!"


    A marriage annulment was never a good thing in the countryside. People would always see a problem,


    no matter if it was because of the man or the woman. Therefore, Jiang Yao did not exaggerate.


    Lu Xingzhi''s heart was stifled, and all sorts of feelings surged in his heart. "I pretended to be disabled


    so that the Chen family would break off the engagement on their own ord. Are you looking down on


    me too?"


    There was an indescribable pity in hisst question. It sounded the same as the tone he had used in


    Rong County. Other than pity, there was also a bit of grievance.


    Lu Xingzhi had been unusually tardy when it came to the Chen family''s matters. It was rare that he did


    not resolve it immediately and decisively.


    "I asked the Chen family to take the initiative to withdraw the engagement for the sake of their family


    and Chen Lanying. I don''t like Chen Lanying. To be honest, if I were to break off the engagement, it


    would be very damaging to her and her family''s reputation. I guess I had to give them a chance to bring


    it up themselves."


    However, Lu Xingzhi did not expect the Chen family to drag things out for almost half a year. Plus,


    Chen Lanying continued to send him letters too. Lu Xingzhi had lost his patience, so he found a few


    people to help him with that trick.
