Chapter 1082: Eloped and Returned
"What’s wrong with... Snake Eye?" My struggling body suddenly froze, always feeling as if he could gouge out my eyeballs at any moment.
The man’s eyes held a chilling desire for dominance, his aura was cold and exaggerated, "Why would you want to equip yourself with the eyes of such lowly creatures?"
Chen Decheng listened carefully, secretly stealing glances at us but didn’t dare to speak.
In Chen Decheng’s eyes, this man was like a snake, surely puzzled as to why he would say Snake Tribe is a lowly creature.
But the man is actually from a branch of the Human Race who has acquired Snake Tail, he considers himself noble, looking down on snakes actually makes sense.
I pressed my lips together, not wanting to continue dwelling on the snake eyes with the man, so I turned to Chen Decheng to change the subject, "Boss, I have a question for you. I see Xiao Li is doing well; didn’t her family consent for her to return to Spring Wind Town to be with Beichen? Why... is her family still coming for her, trying to forcefully take her away?"
"Didn’t Xiao Li tell you she ran away and came back here?" Chen Decheng glanced at me and asked.
"No, she didn’t mention a word about it." My expression slightly tensed.
Turns out she eloped!!
Looks like Beichen’s honest nature couldn’t win over Xiao Li’s parents.
Yu Longting initially said he would personally intervene as a matchmaker, but unexpectedly, he has delayed until now without stepping in to help resolve...
Chen Decheng sighed, "Ah, this girl didn’t even tell you, never mind, let’s wait for her to tell you herself when she gets the chance."
"Mom, I’m not going with you. Let go of me, I’m not getting married." Downstairs, Xiao Li was already struggling with a stout middle-aged woman.
Next to them, a middle-aged man unfamiliar to me was silently smoking, his face sullen and coldly angry.
The middle-aged woman had no intention of respecting Xiao Li’s wishes, striking her own daughter across the face, "You’ll marry whether you want to or not, Chen Xiaoli. I didn’t raise you with hard work just to let you be someone else’s free harlot."
"You want me to marry a university professor who’s forty, twenty years older than me. That would be like a flower stuck in manure." Xiao Li’s face was swollen badly from the slap, yet she showed no sign of fear.
Under the strong pulling by the middle-aged woman, Xiao Li continued to resist and struggle.
Seeing that hard tactics didn’t work, the middle-aged woman tried a soft approach, "This time it’s not that professor with several properties; it’s a second-generation heir, only three years older than you. Being noticed by him is a blessing you couldn’t achieve in three lifetimes."
"No, no matter who he is, I won’t marry him, I just want to marry my Brother Chenn." Xiao Li cried, her face full of tears, driven to desperation she fiercely grabbed her mother’s wrist and bit down hard, "Unless you take away my corpse today, don’t think about taking me away from here. In life, I belong to Beichen, and in death, I’m Beichen’s ghost."
The middle-aged woman screamed loudly after being bitten by Xiao Li, forcefully throwing her own daughter to the ground, "You bit me, oh my god, how did I give birth to such a rebellious daughter."
"Why waste words with her, just take her away already. Once she’s married she’ll appreciate her parents’ true care. Crying won’t help when she’s with a poor guy with no money, no power, and no education." The middle-aged man threw his cigarette on the ground and crushed it hard, speaking into the intercom, "Come in, take her away, no need to be gentle."
Upon hearing this, my eyelid twitched suddenly.
I just felt the forceful control and dominance of these parents was at an outrageous level.
Then, the door of a white old van parked by the roadside suddenly opened, and six or seven people got off, lifting Xiao Li up and taking her away by force.
"You... you can’t do this, restricting someone’s freedom in broad daylight, forcibly taking them away amounts to kidnapping." Chen Shufen couldn’t care about her slightly frail body post-delivery, firmly stepping in to stop them.
The crew were all fierce and fearless, almost violently pushing Chen Shufen aside, making her crash into nearby tables and chairs, "Get out of the way, I don’t hit women, but if you come any closer, I’ll have no choice."
"Are you insane! We’re all relatives, my wife just had a baby, and you treat her like this? What’s going on!" Luckily, Chen Decheng rushed to support Chen Shufen, or she would definitely fall hard.
He looked at this group of unreasonable people, incredulous at how they would strike so heavily against his wife.
Speaking of the distant kinship between Chen Decheng and Xiao Li, Xiao Li’s family even has shares in this restaurant.
Who could have imagined Xiao Li’s parents were so forceful, turning their backs on everyone, even hitting the Chen couple.
I initially hesitated because without truly persuading Xiao Li’s parents, driving them away now would surely lead to more incidents in the future.
The law doesn’t protect others, only maintains the parent-child blood relationship.
But this moment, anger surged to my head, and I couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Let go of her." Suddenly, a boy with a cold expression entered through the door, standing in front of the group trying to take Xiao Li away.
