Chapter 747 - 747 748 From Agony to Numbness

Chapter 747: Chapter 748 From Agony to Numbness Chapter 747: Chapter 748 From Agony to Numbness Ge Liutao patted her head.

Aunt Juan and the others had gone back. Chiang Songhai had been seeing off a clan uncle and had only just returned, to find them whispering to each other.

“What are you talking about?”

Just as Ge Liutao and Chiang Xiao were about to speak, Ho Laidi came in.

Upon entering, she looked around the room. Seeing Chiang Xiao, her expression changed slightly, and without going further inside, she stood in the yard and said to Chiang Songhai, “Second Uncle, I came to tell you that at the end of this month, on the twenty-eighth, Baohe is getting married. As his second uncle, you should come help out, right? Don’t worry, once you’ve helped out, you’ll get to enjoy the wedding banquet.”

It was also at this moment that Chiang Xiao heard the news about Chiang Baohe for the first time.

She, Chiang Songhai, and Ge Liutao were all stunned.

Chiang Baohe was getting married?

This was simply an unbelievable piece of news!

Someone was actually willing to marry Chiang Baohe?

Chiang Xiao blurted out such a question immediately, to which Ho Laidi gave her a furious glare, “What do you mean by that? What’s wrong with your second uncle that someone can’t marry him?”

“Big Sister-in-law, Little didn’t mean anything else,” Chiang Songhai hastily said, “it’s just that we want to know who the girl is, where is she from?”

“You all know her. She’s the teacher from the town middle school, Zou Xiaoling!” Ho Laidi said with a proud look when she mentioned Zou Xiaoling.

Initially, she was really scared, afraid that Zou Xiaoling would actually sue her son. But later, after saying a few words and seeing that Zou Xiaoling only cried, Ho Laidi had a sense of what to do next and constantly threatened and intimidated her. At last, Zou Xiaoling simply couldn’t stand it and, in desperation, nodded in agreement to marry Chiang Baohe.

Otherwise, what was she supposed to do?

She was no longer pure, and if she went back to her hometown, she would be forced to marry an idiot—the choice between an idiot and a disabled person might be that a disabled person was still a bit better?

However, to prevent her from running away before the wedding, they had kept her under surveillance this whole month, not letting her take a single step outside.

Zou Xiaoling couldn’t even go out to find Yu Chunyu.

Chiang Baohe tormented her intermittently, and Zou Xiaoling went from being initially in agonizing despair to a kind of numbness, as if she had lost her soul.

She didn’t know what was keeping her going, she only knew that one day, she would settle the score with Yu Chunyu.

“Her? She’s really willing?” Ge Liutao blurted out.

“What do you mean by ‘really willing’?” Ho Laidi immediately became dissatisfied and was about to step forward when she met Chiang Xiao’s gaze. She stopped in her tracks and stared at Ge Liutao, “Baohe is very good! She’s been dating Baohe all along. Now they’re getting married because they’ve talked it out. Is there a problem? Baohe is worthy of her, an outsider whose family is as poor as can be. It’s her luck from a past life that’s landed her this good fortune!”

Chiang Xiao frowned, feeling that things definitely weren’t as simple as they seemed.

The likelihood of Zou Xiaoling agreeing to marry Chiang Baohe was nearly zero!

Could it be that something really did happen that day?

But no matter what, she wouldn’t get involved in Zou Xiaoling’s affairs again.

If she wanted to marry Chiang Baohe, that was her own choice.

But as for their wedding, she wouldn’t attend, and she didn’t want her grandparents to attend either. Who knew what might happen there?

Chiang Songhai looked at Chiang Xiao, hesitated a moment, and then asked Ho Laidi, “Baohe’s wedding… are you thinking of having a big celebration?”

“Of course, we have to celebrate it big. Our Baohe is so capable, and he’s getting married now—to a cultured woman, a teacher no less. Isn’t that a joyous occasion? The Chiang Family hasn’t had such a joyous occasion in a long time, right?” Ho Laidi, remembering the purpose of her visit today, decided to largely ignore Chiang Xiao and spoke only to Chiang Songhai.
