Chapter 506: Chapter 450: I do not agree to this marriage_2
"Uncle."
Bai Chengxi flew in from Aus City, taking the fastest time to get there, although he was already somewhat exhausted. He had been running around all day, without eating three meals or having a moment of rest.
"You’ve arrived just in time," Zhuo Yao looked at him coldly: "I’m going to bring Qingzi back tomorrow. As for your marriage, I don’t agree."
Bai Chengxi knew this would be the outcome, which was why he hurried over to apologize and make amends.
"I’m sorry," Bai Chengxi bowed his head. "I failed to prevent this matter. I deeply regret the trouble I’ve caused Uncle, Aunt, and Yuqing."
"Is an apology useful? Do you know that someone on the internet has already mentioned my daughter’s name? Soon, thanks to you, she’s going to be ’famous.’ How can she stay in Aus City after that?"
"I’m sorry," Bai Chengxi apologized again, earnestly.
"I don’t need your apology. You can go back. I just want to bring Qingzi back. As for your relationship with that woman, you deal with it yourself," Zhuo Yao said before forcefully closing the door, isolating Bai Chengxi on the outside, "I don’t want to see you right now."
Qiao San was immediately displeased upon seeing this, "What are you doing? It’s so cold outside, do you want to freeze him to death?"
"If the son-in-law of Zhuo Yao can be frozen to death, then he does not deserve to marry my daughter," Zhuo Yao said angrily, turning to leave, while Qiao San glared at him intending to open the door.
"Qiao Er, if you dare to open that door, I declare myself the one who spoils their fun. Don’t believe me? Just try it," Zhuo Yao had not used such a stern tone with her for a long time, so even though Qiao San relied on his doting she still did not dare to act rashly. She could see that this man was fiercely protective of his daughter, and this time he was serious. If Bai Chengxi could not convince him, he really would take his daughter back from Aus City.
"Wu Ye (Five Master)," Qiao San took his hand and pleaded softly: "Chengxi is already dealing with the matter. He posted his marriage certificate with Qingzi and the wedding invitations on Weibo this afternoon."
"Even if they are married, they can still get divorced," Zhuo Yao said grumpily, but was still taken aback, "When did they get the certificate?"
How did he not know about this?
Qiao San initially wanted to speak for Bai Chengxi, but she accidentally let something slip and tried to change the subject, but Zhuo Yao had already started searching online with his phone. When he saw the date on the marriage certificate posted by Bai Chengxi, his eyebrows furrowed tightly in anger. He looked up at the guilty Qiao San: "What is this about, they got the certificate three months ago?"
Qiao San inwardly cursed at the bad turn of events.
"So you all knew, the Bai Family knew too, right? Just playing me for a fool?" Zhuo Yao tossed his phone away in anger, "Has that kid from the Bai Family turned against the sky? He married my daughter without my consent, and now he’s caused such a scene, who gave him the guts?"
"Wu Ye, don’t be angry just yet. They pretended not to be married because they were afraid of upsetting you, it was all considering your feelings."
"Ha. What if the Bai Family had come to propose marriage and I did not agree? Weren’t they also planning to act first and later? Does anyone still consider me the head of the family?" Zhuo Yao was truly enraged, realizing that everyone around him knew about the marriage, except for him, who was kept in the dark. He didn’t want to listen to Qiao San’s explanations and angrily went upstairs alone.
Qiao San, concerned about her angry husband, also had to consider Bai Chengxi, who was locked out. She peeked out the window and saw him still standing in the same spot, as still as a statue, his nose and ears red from the cold, white breath visible with every exhale.
He was wearing so little, and it was so cold in City A. Standing in the chilly outdoor weather, he would surely catch a cold.
But with Zhuo Yao’s attitude, if she opened the door for Bai Chengxi, it would only worsen the situation. She knew her husband well; when he was stubborn, neither softness nor hardness would work, not even her pleading.
Qiao San, left with no choice, went inside to fetch a cotton jacket. Bai Chengxi was almost frozen solid when he saw her, he apologetically said: "Aunt, I’m sorry."
"Let’s not talk about the past. I know you are sincere about Yuqing. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come all the way here to apologize to us. Don’t worry, your uncle is just like that. Once his anger subsides, and he thinks it through, everything will be all right. He won’t really separate you and Qingzi."
Bai Chengxi’s nose was bright red from the cold, his lips trembling slightly, but he still said determinedly: "I will never let her down. As for this situation, I will not let it go lightly and will definitely give everyone an explanation."
Zhuo Yao stood at the second-floor window looking down, seeing Bai Chengxi still standing there unmoving, like a statue. It was bitterly cold outside, with white frost formed on the window glass.
Bai Chengxi was wearing only a thin coat; he must have been frozen through by now. Although Zhuo Yao came from a military background, tough as steel, he was not heartless. Seeing Bai Chengxi shaking from the cold, yet maintaining a resolute expression without a trace of retreat, reminded him of his own fearless eyes amidst gunfire and bullets when he was younger.
Zhuo Yao calmed down now, his anger subsided. He had seen the latest news online, the Bai Family had spoken out immediately after the incident. Even the matriarch of the Bai Family had stood up for her granddaughter. The heartfelt effort they showed was something he could empathize with—it was the protection for a family member and a show of strength against enemies.
Zhuo Yao smoked a few cigarettes and eventually went downstairs, opened the door, and said to the somewhat surprised Bai Chengxi, "Come in."**
