Lin Xiaodong didn't understand and asked An Qing doubtfully.
He felt that An Qing did not tell him everything when she was in the courtyard, and there must be many things she was hiding.
An Qing bit her lip tightly and couldn't help but shed tears again. She explained in a squeaky voice: "Not long ago, my father went to the Li family to discuss my marriage.
At that time, the Li family agreed and asked us to book a hotel and then send out the invitations.
We did it without thinking too much, booked a hotel, and sent out invitations..." At this point, An Qing probably thought of something sad and cried so hard that she couldn't stop.
Lin Xiaodong comforted him for a long time before asking: "What next?"
"As a result, we were deceived by the Li family again. Mrs. Li found an excuse to secretly take away all the gifts from relatives who came to congratulate us in the name of our family.
If I can't get married, I have to give the money back.
But the money was not in our hands at all, but was taken away by Mrs. Li.
But our relatives and friends were deceived by Mrs. Li, and all their money was in the hands of our family.
If we don’t retreat, everyone in our family will definitely betray us.”
The more An Qing talked, the sadder she became, and she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly.
The world is so vast, there are really many wonders! Even though Lin Xiaodong was well-informed, he was deeply shocked by the Li family's scheme to defraud money.
This can only be said that the An family is too honest and has no guard against others. They think that once they are engaged, they are the in-laws, almost a family, and they will not be deceived.
The result is great, I was deceived completely! Sometimes I have to admire those crazy swindlers. It is true that as long as they can be deceived, they will not care about the life and death of others at all.
Even if you use money to save lives, he won't care about you.
The family named Li is definitely a family of liars! From the very beginning, the Li family planned to deceive the An family.
When I got engaged two years ago, I was defrauded of a large sum of dowry.
Two years later, I was defrauded of another gift money.
It was originally agreed that Anjia would pay for the hotel reservation.
Then the rest of the expenses for buying a car and a house will be borne by the Li family. They will also abide by the agreement made back then and give a generous gift of money.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li fell out as soon as she took away the gift money.
After learning that Mrs. Li used a trick to take away the gift money, An Qing's father went to question the Li family.
As a result, he was driven out with sticks.
An Qing was not convinced and went out in person last night to ask what was going on. Then what happened last night happened.
"You trust outsiders too easily."
Lin Xiaodong sighed lightly.
The three An family members lowered their heads in shame. Thinking about it, it was really embarrassing.
Lin Xiaodong took one look at the bare-walled house and knew that the An family probably did not have the financial strength to repay the gifts lost by relatives and friends.
But this gift money is not enough. Failure to return it is tantamount to fraud, and it is also deceiving relatives and friends. Who will dare to interact with the An family in the future! When Mrs. Li defrauded the gift money, she used the name of the An family, which made the An family feel anxious.
There's no way to explain it.
"How about this, let's continue to let An Qing get married.
This way you don’t have to pay back the gift money.”
At this time, a young woman dressed fashionably stood up and said.
This young woman is one of An Qing's cousins, and she came here specifically to do An Qing's makeup.
"This...marriage is a child's play?
You can't just grab any man and give it to An Qing, right?"
Another relative immediately objected.
"Oh, I'm talking about a fake marriage.
It's just a wedding and I don't want to apply for a marriage certificate, so what does it matter?
If anyone asks in the future, just say that you are divorced."
After the young woman explained it this way, she felt that the idea was not bad.
"No, isn't this asking us to settle down and lie to others?
We will not imitate the Li family and become liars."
An Qing's father shook his head and rejected the idea.
"Then let me ask you, do you have the money to repay the gift?"
"No."
The young woman chuckled, rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't return the gift, you will be betrayed by the congregation and regarded as a liar.
It's better to have a fake marriage, you know?
At least you won’t betray everyone!”
When the relatives around him heard this, they thought it made sense and worked together to persuade An Qing's father and mother.
In the end, An Qing's parents were shaken and agreed to hold a fake wedding.
"The next step is to find a fake groom. This man must be handsome, so that I can use makeup to hide it from the guests, so that they can't tell whether it is Li Zhiming or not."
After the young woman finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Lin Xiaodong and smiled.
Lin Xiaodong's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was not right.
"It's you. Stop looking around. I'm talking about you."
The young woman smiled and pointed at Lin Xiaodong who was looking around.
"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it, I look just average."
Lin Xiaodong shook his head and refused.
This is so ridiculous that Lin Xiaodong can't accept it! Even if it is a fake marriage, this wedding is really happening! When facing An Qing from now on, it will be embarrassing just thinking about it! "Young man, are you planning to die without saving me?
An Qing is so pitiful, can you really bear to see her suffer again?"
The young woman persuaded Lin Xiaodong to come with her earnest words.
Lin Xiaodong was reluctant to agree at first, but when he saw An Qing's pitiful look, he somehow softened his heart and agreed.
"Mr. Lin, thank you!"
When An Qing heard Lin Xiaodong agreed, a smile instantly bloomed on her face, just like the lotus in the morning dew, spotlessly beautiful.
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "If you are a good person and do your best, I will help you get through this difficulty.
I hope you can be happy every day and stop crying."
"I will definitely live strong in the future and never cry again."
An Qing nodded vigorously and assured Lin Xiaodong with her big eyes flashing.
Lin Xiaodong was a little afraid to look at An Qing. He was afraid that he would love this girl and that the girl would fall in love with him.
This girl has been hurt by love once, I really can't hurt her a second time.
"By the way, young man, you haven't introduced yourself yet.
What kind of business do people there do now?"
The more An Qing's father saw Lin Xiaodong, the more he liked him and thought he was a good man. It would be great if he could become his son-in-law.
"My name is Lin Xiaodong. I am from Lianhai. I came here not long ago and now I work in a Feng Shui shop."
You should keep a low profile as a person. Lin Xiaodong describes himself as a wage earner.
"Have you found a place to live?
Why don't you come and stay at my house? Although my house is simple, there are many rooms. You can choose whatever you want, and I won't charge you rent."
An Qing's father smiled like an old fox, trying to drive Lin Xiaodong into the trap step by step.
Such enthusiasm frightened Lin Xiaodong, and he quickly refused: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I now live in a Feng Shui shop and am responsible for security."
"Oh, that's it! Then come to my house often when you have time. An Qing is a good cook, I guarantee you'll like it.
You two young people can develop well."
An Qing's father was a little too straightforward now, which made An Qing blush with embarrassment.
Lin Xiaodong secretly complained, unable to resist his enthusiasm.
