Chapter 990 - 1009: The Three Lan Family Siblings Forced Into Marriage
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Several schadenfreude-filled laughs rang out at the scene immediately.
Nan Luo rolled his eyes at once, sweeping over the gloating faces one by one, feeling an itch of hate without finding the words to refute. More importantly, he simply didn’t dare to argue back. From the current situation, it was clear if he dared say a word back, he’d likely be thrown out of the house on the spot.
The coming scene was easy to imagine.
On New Year’s Eve, he’d be wandering the streets alone, looking through windows at the bright lights in other people’s homes, while he remained pitiful.
Thinking of such a scene, he quickly shook his head vigorously, no, no, he didn’t want to be that miserable!
On the spot, he nodded hard, promising everyone: "Rest assured, I will definitely bring Lan Family’s daughter-in-law home for New Year’s next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, his head was once again smacked down hard.
He glared over, discovering the one who hit him was his own mother, Zhou Fengdi, and he immediately became a bootlicker: "Ah, mom, it’s you! Well hit, well hit, do you want to hit again?"
Other moms might feel sorry for their sons, reluctant to hit them, but this act found no validation with Zhou Fengdi. Since he begged for another hit, she wouldn’t be blamed for smacking him again, and she swiftly landed another slap on his head, continuing to sternly scold him: "Nan Luo, what do you mean bring your wife home? Do you think you’re adopting a child bride?"
"Mom, I’m wrong." At this point, Nan Luo was about to cry, not waiting for her to develop further, he quickly pleaded: "Mom, so many eyes are watching, please let me keep some dignity, alright? Don’t say anymore, next year I promise I’ll find you a beautiful daughter-in-law."
Zhou Fengdi’s reaction was pure disbelief in his words, as she continued to warn: "Don’t take my words as a joke, this is your last chance this year. If next New Year’s your words aren’t fulfilled, I’ll send you to Africa. You’re studying architecture, right? Perfect, you can assist in building in Africa, which will also contribute a bit to society."
Immediately, Zhou Fengdi’s proposal received everyone’s approval.
Afterward, several unmarrieds got involved in the matter too.
The parents of Lan Xinxixi and Lan Xinru, the sister pair, also expressed their stance at once.
"You two sisters are the same, if you don’t bring someone home by next New Year’s, you’re both going to Africa, one to be an inspector, the other to be a doctor, just right, they need talents like you there."
After finishing these words, there was an especially pointed remark towards Lan Xinxixi: "Your Yu Wen Family fiancé isn’t impossible, but the prerequisite is that he must marry into our Lan Family."
Lan Xinxixi’s face instantly twisted. The Yu Wen family was a military lineage, producing countless officers whose names were legendary. And Yu Wenhao, as the sole heir of the Yu Wen family, his distinguished status makes it unimaginable for such a figure to marry into another family, yet here they dare suggest.
Lan Xinxixi already didn’t want to make any further statements, feeling a deep premonition inside that this lifetime she could forget about getting married.
