Chapter 1144: A marriage match?
Old Master Ying was furious but he could not do anything to the old driver, he could only grind his teeth and then wait silently. There was no way he was getting off the cart as he knew that if he was to walk all the way to the town then he might as well forget that he was going to ever catch Ying Nan.
He needed to control himself for now, once Ying Nan fell in his hands, he would teach that bastard a good lesson. Every ounce of criticism, he would make that mer pay it back twice to him!
Though Old Master Ying thought that he would be able to control himself, he could not suppress his anger as he slapped his wife on the shoulder and then hissed, ” That old woman just said a bunch of things to me, what are you doing? As my wife should you not be telling her off?”
Old Madam Ying looked at the woman who was sturdy and strong as she handled oxen every day and shuddered with just one glance of her muscles. One look at the woman and she knew that she could not deal with the driver, so what was the point of even squabbling with her?
Old Madam Ying was the classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, thus she did not say anything to the old woman and closed her eyes as if she was sleeping.
Seeing her actions Old Master Ying was so angry that he wished he could kill her. This woman was his wife, yet other than eating, drinking and sleeping she did not do anything. She could not even protect him in case he was being ridiculed just look at her!
He was very upset but there was nothing he could do as Old Madam Ying did not hear a thing he was saying and even if she could hear what he was saying, she was pretending not to.
Stifled and angry, Old Master Ying could only sit quietly for the entire journey. Fortunately, an hour later, he arrived at the town heaving a sigh of relief. Once he was done paying the old woman the fare of the ox cart, he rushed to the house which belonged to Song Yixu. He was in such a hurry that he did not even care about his wife.
” Hey! What are you doing? Where are you going?” When a servant saw Old Master Ying barging inside the Song Household, she immediately stopped the latter but Old Master Ying was like a force which could not be trifled with, he pushed the servant away from his path and then shouted, ” Ying Nan! I know you are in there, you better come out before I call the Yamen.”
” Ying Nan! I said come out you wretched beast who ate his father the day he was born!”
” Ying Nan! You bastard can you not hear me? You better come out now or else I will change your appearance if I get my hands on you!”
” Who are you? And who are you screaming at?” The housekeeper lady walked out of the house and then looked at Old Master Ying with a frown on her face. ” Who is this, Ying Nan? Why do you keep yelling his name?”
Old Master Ying looked at the housekeeper lady who was dressed even finer than him, who was supposed to be Song Yixu’s father-in-law and turned sullen. He scoffed and then said, ” What do you mean by who I am? I am the father-in-law of your boss, she is in love with my stepson, Ying Nan and brought him here. I am here to bring him back before your boss ruins him. Ask him to come back!”
“Father-in-law? In love with your son? Are you out of your mind? You think that my boss will fall in love with a country bumpkin?” The housekeeper lady snorted, she looked at Old Master Ying and then said mockingly, ” My boss accepted a marriage meeting just last night, she is meeting her match at this moment in the famous theatre.
He is the son of a high-ranking official and you say that she is in love with your son? Who are you even?”
” What? What marriage match?” Old Master Ying was stunned. Song Yixu was visiting another mer? That was impossible!
He looked at the housekeeper lady and then sternly said, ” You are joking! There is no way that she would even look at anyone else other than Nan Nan!”
” Oh, so you are the father of that mer?” One of the servants who was walking past the courtyard heard what Old Master Ying said and then turned to look at him with a contempt-filled gaze. ” You think too highly of your son, Old Master Ying. Even if he rescued our boss, he is not a beauty or a prince.
Our boss gave you a chance but you did not listen, did you think that you will be able to suck the hard-earned money of our boss for all your life? Even if she had feelings for your son, there is a limit to her patience. She is someone who is going to own the business of the Song restaurant. Do you think that you can continue like this?
If she allows you to suck her blood then what will happen to her?”
“She also needs to answer her family after all.”
” Thats right, our boss is the legitimate daughter of the Song family. Enough is enough, how many years have you played with her? She was bound to lose her patience.”
Old Master Ying felt like he was falling in an ice cave, he did not believe that Song Yixu would fall for someone else! Thus he rushed out of the house and went to the biggest theatre, he would definitely see the truth, these guys could lie to him all they wanted but there was no way Song Yixu was going to marry someone other than Ying Nan!
