Cao Mengyuan's expression remained unchanged, "I don't like Huang Bin, so I don't agree to this marriage!"
For a moment, there was silence in the whole room.
"Mengyuan, you!"
After a while, Cao Zhongxiao reacted and glared at Cao Mengyuan fiercely.
"Grandpa, this is a lifelong matter that concerns me. It has nothing to do with you. I can make the decision myself!"
"Okay, it's good to be the one who makes the decision!"
As soon as Cao Mengyuan finished speaking, Huang Zhiwen, who was sitting on the chair, sneered loudly. Then, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a cold face staring at Cao Mengyuan.
"Do you really think you can make the decision?"
"This marriage is not only related to you and my son, but also to two families. Do you agree if you don't agree? Have you ever thought about the consequences of not refusing?"
Cao Mengyuan smiled lightly, "Marriage is related to personal happiness for everyone. For the sake of the family, marriage is used as a bargaining chip. It's okay not to have an unhappy marriage."
Huang Zhiwen's eyes became even colder, staring at Cao Mengyuan in front of him in disbelief, "After studying for several years, do you know how to pursue your own happiness? Haha, okay, if you are really willing to do this, of course I will not force you.
"
After Huang Zhiwen finished speaking, a trace of fierce hatred appeared in the corner of his eyes, "Cao Zhongxiao, so you have not wanted to marry our Huang family for a long time, and you are deliberately looking for excuses to shirk it, right?"
"No, Director Huang..." Cao Zhongxiao took a step forward, eager to defend himself.
"Okay, stop talking, I understand everything." Huang Zhiwen waved his hand impatiently, "In this case, just explain, is this an excuse to treat us like monkeys, right?"
"Director Huang misunderstood!"
Cao Zhongxiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Huang Dong, please don't argue with a child. Mengyuan is still a child, and some of the things she said cannot be taken seriously."
"Grandpa, I am already over 20 years old and an adult. I have the right to choose my own marriage!"
Cao Mengyuan interrupted abruptly.
"Mengyuan, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Cao Zhongxiao became anxious, turned around and shouted at Cao Mengyuan, "Have you considered the entire Cao family?"
Cao Mengyuan was surprisingly calm, "I have considered it, grandpa, you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Well don't worry about it!"
Huang Zhiwen snorted coldly and stared at Cao Zhongxiao coldly, "Today is the last day of the ten-day period. As the head of the Cao family, I will ask you for the last time whether you agree with this marriage or not. Please give me an accurate answer."
!”
The marriage between Huang Bin and Cao Mengyuan was a verbal agreement made by both parents many years ago. Cao Mengyuan was still a child at that time, so although what she said now makes Huang Zhiwen very angry, it cannot be taken seriously after all.
As the head of the Cao family, Huang Zhiwen must get accurate confirmation from Cao Zhongxiao's mouth about his attitude towards this marriage.
"Director Huang, Meng Yuan has grown up, I really can't control it anymore..."
Although Cao Zhongxiao was very angry at Cao Mengyuan's attitude, he knew Cao Mengyuan's temper. If he was pushed into a hurry, who knows what his niece would do.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Cao Zhongxiao finally shook his head helplessly.
"This sentence, I can understand, means that the Cao family does not agree with this marriage?"
Huang Zhiwen stared at Cao Zhongxiao, his eyes making Cao Zhongxiao feel cold all over.
"Director Huang, give me some time, and I will try to persuade Mengyuan..."
Cao Zhongxiao had already sensed the gunpowder in Huang Zhiwen's words and hurriedly added.
"Cao Zhongxiao, the patience of our Huang family is limited. By saying this, you want to continue to treat us like monkeys, right?"
"No, listen to me."
"No need."
Before Cao Zhongxiao could defend himself, Huang Zhiwen gave a fierce shout, stood up from his chair, looked straight at Cao Mengyuan, and then glanced at Cao Zhongxiao.
"I really didn't expect that the Cao family would break the contract. However, our Huang family will not force you. My son Huang Bin is the future successor of the group. With such an identity, he wants to be with our Huang family.
There are probably a lot of people getting married, right?"
After Huang Zhiwen finished speaking contemptuously, he raised his head and laughed a few times, walked a few steps, and walked out of Cao's house with a few big men in black, regardless of Cao Zhongxiao's continuous apologies behind him.
As if after a violent storm, the Cao family returned to peace.
However, this kind of silence is what Cao Zhongxiao doesn't want to see.
Because this kind of quiet is not peaceful, but the quiet before a bigger storm!
Cao Zhongxiao knew what he would face next. His heart tensed together nervously. After looking around the gorgeously decorated living room, he sighed deeply.
There is a reason why the Cao family is as brilliant as it is today.
Today's situation has angered the Huang family. Huang Junrong, who has a very high status in the Huang family, and Huang Zhiwen, who is in charge of all the group's affairs, saw that Cao Jian did not fulfill his original engagement. What would they do?
When he thought of this, Cao Zhongxiao had one head and two big heads. He thought that the glory of the Cao family would be lost because of this incident, and a huge sense of loss and guilt came to Cao Zhongxiao's heart.
Because of the waywardness of his great-niece, he would become the sinner of the entire Cao family. Cao Zhongxiao felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and he sighed and looked at Cao Mengyuan.
"Mengyuan, you kid, can't you think about our family? You have also seen Huang Zhiwen's attitude. Our Cao family will face a huge blow. You probably don't want to see grandpa and I, who have been prosperous all their lives, grow old.
But you don’t even have a place to stay, right?”
Cao Mengyuan lowered her head and said nothing, her lips pressed together tightly.
"Think about it again. It's true that you like Shen Dapeng, but there are some things that you don't just like. Although Huang Bin is not very good, his status in the future will be extraordinary. Besides, even if you and Huang Bin have little contact,
, there is no affection between each other, but affection can be cultivated, right?"
"Grandpa begs you, for the sake of our entire Cao family, please think again. If you agree to this marriage, tell me as soon as possible. Grandpa, I can just pull this old face and come to the Huang family to apologize to the Huang family."
When Cao Zhongxiao spoke at the end, his almost pleading tone was touching.
Cao Mengyuan was the same, listening to the words of the most authoritative leader of the Cao family, and looking at Cao Zhongxiao's weather-beaten old face with many wrinkles and his stooped back from working all his life for the glory of the Cao family, she felt very unbearable.
However, compassion does not mean sacrificing one's own happiness.
Marriage is related to the rest of his life. He already has a sweetheart, and this sweetheart has given him the greatest protection. Therefore, he will not be depressed for the rest of his life just because he cares about the Cao family.
