Chapter 170 Get Married Quickly
Qian Manrou's words made Song's parents feel even more sorry for her and even more dissatisfied with Song Zekai.
Madam Song glared at Song Zekai and said, "Look at Manrou, she's so sensible. Look at you, you have no sense of responsibility. You must give Manrou an explanation today, otherwise we will not acknowledge you as our son."
Song Zekai felt helpless. He knew that no matter how he explained, his parents would not listen. He glanced at Qian Manrou and became even more suspicious of her motives. But in this situation, he couldn't expose her directly, so he could only stabilize the situation first.
"Mom, don't be angry. I will be responsible for Qian Manrou, but I need time." Song Zekai said.
Qian Manrou was delighted when she heard Song Zekai's words. She knew that her plan had succeeded one step further. As long as Song Zekai was willing to take responsibility, she would have a chance to be with him.
"Zekai, I know you are not sure about my feelings for you now, but I believe you will slowly accept me." Qian Manrou said gently.
Song Zekai did not respond to her, but just stood there in silence.
Father Song said with an unhappy look on his face: "What are you still considering? Things have already happened, and you have done what you shouldn't have done. I think you should marry Manrou as soon as possible!"
Song Zekai looked surprised. Now his parents didn't force him to get engaged, but wanted him to marry Qian Manrou directly?
A glimmer of joy flashed in Qian Manrou's eyes. As long as she married Song Zekai, she would be Mrs. Song and would have endless wealth in the future.
Mrs. Song echoed, "I think your father is right. You should just marry Manrou. I think she's pretty good. She's gentle, sensible, well-educated and well-mannered. How great! I'll call my in-laws home tomorrow to discuss your marriage."
Hearing this, Song Zekai frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Dad, isn't this too fast? Don't you want to ask for my opinion?"
Song's father's face darkened. "What's your opinion? What other opinions do you have? You should be responsible for what you did. Now is not the time for you to be picky. Get married quickly and let us feel at ease."
Song Zekai was upset. He didn't want to get married so hastily, especially with Qian Manrou. He tried to argue again, "Dad, Mom, marriage is a lifelong event. We can't make such a hasty decision. Qian Manrou and I need time to get to know each other."
Mrs. Song didn't think so. "What do you understand? It's already like this, why don't you hurry up and get married? Do you want Manrou to be wronged? Besides, we and Manrou's parents are very satisfied with this marriage, so don't refuse it anymore."
Qian Manrou spoke at the right time, "Zekai, I know you may feel it's a little too fast, but I really like you and I am willing to face the future life with you. We can get to know each other slowly, and I believe we will be happy."
Song Zekai looked at Qian Manrou, his heart full of resistance.
"Dad, Mom, marriage is not a trivial matter. I hope you will consider me more."
"We are just considering you. If you are so irresponsible and don't want to marry Manrou, I will not acknowledge you as my son." Song's father made a harsh statement.
"Dad..." Song Zekai frowned tightly and was about to say something when he was interrupted by his father, "Okay, this matter is settled."
Song Zekai was helpless. He knew that it was useless to refute at this time. He glanced at Qian Manrou, who had a hint of pride and expectation on her face.
Song Zekai secretly made up his mind to find out the truth as soon as possible and not get married without knowing what was going on. He couldn't let his life be controlled by others, especially by someone he didn't like.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say. But I hope that before we get married, we can spend more time together and get to know each other."
Mrs. Song saw that Song Zekai had given in, and her expression eased a little. "Okay, then I'll give you some time to get along. But you can't delay any longer, and settle the marriage as soon as possible."
Qian Manrou was secretly happy, she knew she was one step closer to becoming Mrs. Song. She looked at Song Zekai tenderly and said, "Zekai, I will work hard to show you my sincerity."
Song Zekai didn't respond to her, but turned and left the living room.
He needed to be alone and think carefully about what to do next.
Inside a high-end cafe.
"Linlin, you're here!" Jiang Lu saw Huo Ruilin coming and quickly waved to her.
Huo Ruilin walked over and sat down opposite her.
"Lulu, you asked me out, what's the matter?"
Jiang Lu supported her cheek with one hand and said, "Nothing, I just heard that you were sick these two days. Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the appointment." Huo Ruilin smiled.
"By the way, after you sent Song Zekai home that night, your brother called me and asked where you were."
At this point, Jiang Lu looked curious, "What happened between you and Song Zekai that night? It was so late, and you didn't go home."
Huo Ruilin's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She didn't want Jiang Lu to know about what happened between her and Song Zekai, especially those embarrassing and painful experiences.
"No, nothing happened. I just sent him home and then left." Huo Ruilin said casually.
Jiang Lu obviously didn't believe her. She frowned and looked at Huo Ruilin in confusion. "Linlin, are you hiding something from me? We are best friends. You can tell me anything."
Huo Ruilin bit her lip, not knowing how to answer. She knew Jiang Lu was doing this for her own good, but she really didn't want to talk about those things again. She was afraid that she would fall into pain again.
"Lulu, it's really nothing. Stop thinking about it." Huo Ruilin forced a smile.
Jiang Lu looked at Huo Ruilin and became more certain that she was hiding something from her.
But she didn't want to force Huo Ruilin. She knew that if Huo Ruilin wanted to say something, she would tell her naturally.
"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But if you have any problems, you must tell me. I will always be by your side to support you." Jiang Lu said gently.
Huo Ruilin felt warm in her heart, and she looked at Jiang Lu with gratitude. "Lulu, thank you. It's great to have you as a friend."
Jiang Lu smiled and changed the subject. "By the way, Linlin, do you have any fun places to recommend recently? I want to go out and travel to relax."
Huo Ruilin thought for a moment and said, "I think Yunnan is nice. The scenery there is beautiful and there are many fun places. You can go to Dali, Lijiang, Erhai Lake and other places."
Jiang Lu's eyes lit up, "It sounds good, I'll think about it."
The two chatted about some other topics, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Huo Ruilin also temporarily forgot her troubles and enjoyed the time with her friends.
