Chapter 1759: Not Giving Any Face Chapter 1759: Not Giving Any Face Editor: Henyee Translations Infuriated, Zhao Shu vented his anger, scolding the Zhao Family relentlessly.
He made it clearââŹâmarriage to a girl from the Lu Family was out of the question.
His commitment lay with the Shao Family, and he was adamant about reporting to the patriarch and formalizing the betrothal.
No other family would be part of his matrimonial plans.
He wouldnât let anyone undermine this decision!
He viewed his marriage seriously and was prepared to face any legal battle or financial strain that arose from this dispute.
Compromise was not an option.
Defying all odds, he asserted, âLet them try if they have the audacity!â Frustrated at the absurdity of treating his marriage as a jest, Zhao Shu declared heâd start his own family if the Zhao Family held such a stance.
As Zhao Shu cursed, Mrs.
Luâs face fluctuated between red and white.
Panic seized many members of the Zhao Family as they attempted to pacify him.
How could they utter such words?
The Zhao Family had no reason to dislike him.
His generosity during the New Year, showering eldersâ families with gifts exceeding a thousand taels, was a testament to his affluence.
The family could live comfortably for a year with just his New Yearâs offerings.
No matter who opposed him, the God of Fortune seemed to favor him.
Rich, influential, and well-connected, Zhao Shu was beyond the Zhao Familyâs control unless he willingly yielded.
Mrs.
Lu, humiliated and desperate, resorted to threatening her daughterâs life once more.
Unfazed, Zhao Shu sneered and retorted, âHow is that my problem?
I donât even know you!
Find whoever you want!
I couldnât care less!â Mrs.
Lu nearly fainted from the intensity of her anger.
The patriarch and his wife wore expressions of extreme displeasure.
Zhao Shu showed no regard for their authority!
Observing their evident fury, Zhao Shu took a measure of satisfaction.
His substantial wealth, though disposable, wouldnât be spent on tolerating their bullying.
Despite belonging to the same clan, he drew a line at being coerced into unwanted commitments.
He asserted firmly, âLetâs be clearââŹâI wonât marry this girl, no matter which family she belongs to.
Who dared to scheme behind my back, and how did you bring her here?
Sort out sending her back!â His words aimed solely to repel and disgust them.
Mrs.
Lu, infuriated, nearly spewed blood as she scolded the patriarchâs wife for implicating her in the responsibility.
The two women engaged in a heated argument, teetering on the verge of physical confrontation if not for the onlookers.
Unyielding, Zhao Shu held his ground, and Mrs.
Lu clung to the patriarchâs wife, almost driving her to insanity.
Ultimately, the patriarchâs wife offered a substantial monetary compensation to the Lu family, taking full blame and framing it as a misunderstanding that tarnished Miss Luâs reputation.
The Lu family reluctantly relented.
Despite his dissatisfaction, Zhao Shuâs defiance left the Zhao family with limited options.
âWhat else could they do?â Refusing marriage, Zhao Shu remained beyond the Zhao familyâs control.
As for the Lu family and the patriarchâs family, their interactions were virtually nonexistent.
Annoyed by the clanâs interference, Zhao Shu reported to the elders and departed within a few days.
His business in the South faced delays, and upon reaching the capital, he discovered that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had already left for Anze Province, leaving Zhao Shu somewhat regretful.
Nonetheless, since he was already in the capital, he decided to inspect their properties on behalf of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.
