Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 714: You dare to snatch someone from me, Han Yongsheng?”I’m going with you,” Wang Xiangxiang said to Chu Lian, holding onto him with determination.

Seeing her steadfast gaze, Chu Lian had no choice but to agree, ”Father, Mother, we’ll step out for a bit. There’s no need for you to intervene in this matter.”

Chu Lian’s parents nodded in agreement.

Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang went to the courtyard gate, mentally prepared for a confrontation, and the house servant opened the door.

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao, hearing the gate being opened, immediately went to greet them and, sure enough, came face to face with Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang.

”Sister, you really are here.”

Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang were also surprised; they had thought Han Yongsheng was at their door. Now they realized it was too soon for that and they were just overanxious.

”Sister, aren’t you going to introduce us, and how come you’re here?”

Feeling a bit embarrassed by the comment, Wang Xiangxiang pulled Chu Lian along with her, ”This is your brother-in-law.”

Xiaoxiao revealed a face full of confusion and elongated her voice, ”Oh? Brother-in-law?”

Then she shouted out loud, ”Hello, brother-in-law!”

Chu Lian knew Xiaoxiao was just teasing him, but he really did like hearing the term ’brother-in-law.’ ”Let’s go inside and talk if there’s anything to say.”

So, the four of them entered the courtyard, and Chu Lian led them to his own residential area.

This was Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao’s first visit to the Chu Mansion, but they were not in the mood to tour around, quickly entering the house instead.

Once inside, Chu Lian didn’t ask why they had come or if the Han Family had been looking for them; instead, he excitedly said to Yang Ming, ”Yang Ming, I’m going to be a father.”

”...” Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were left dumbfounded by the news.

Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Xiangxiang’s belly, ”Sister, are you pregnant?”

Wang Xiangxiang nodded a bit shyly.

”Chu, congratulations,” Yang Ming said, congratulating him. He hadn’t expected Chu Lian to become a father so quickly, and to succeed on the first try.

”Why call him Chu? You should follow our sister and call him brother-in-law,” Xiaoxiao chided Yang Ming with a slap on his shoulder.

The group teased each other and laughed. Xiaoxiao could see that these two were destined lovers who had finally come together and even had a child on the way; they seemed very happy.

Chu Lian then recounted the event of the bride kidnapping. It turned out that Chu Lian had come home the day before and drunk himself into a stupor, not having time to organize the kidnapping. The entire affair was orchestrated by Chu Lian’s father, mother, and Chu Huan, which made Xiaoxiao very interested in Chu Lian’s family.

When Chu Lian sobered up the next day, he was told everything and was asked if he was up for it. Naturally, his answer was yes, leading to the subsequent events. He was now extremely grateful for his eccentric family members; without them, he wouldn’t have his current happiness.

”The Han Family’s wedding procession came to the Yang Family this morning to demand the bride back. The Han Family will be arriving soon; what do you plan to do?” After chatting for a while, Yang Ming brought up the question.

”It’s as expected; we can only wait for them to show up and deal with them as they come.” The bride’s abduction couldn’t be kept a secret—sooner or later, the Han Family would find out. In truth, Chu Lian didn’t have any good solutions for this situation.

”That’s all we can do.”

While they were discussing in the house, a house servant ran over in a panic, ”Young Master, there’s trouble! Someone has stormed our mansion, claiming they’ve come to settle accounts with the Young Master.”

Everyone in the room exchanged glances; without a doubt, Han Yongsheng had come knocking.

The group hurriedly went outside, only to hear Han Yongsheng’s thunderous voice bellow, ”Chu Lian! You dared to snatch someone from me, Han Yongsheng?”
