Chapter 2343 - 2343: The Arranged Marriage

Zhang Taikang raised his eyebrows, a fierce anger emanating from him.

"What? Shouldn't the elders and brothers of the Zhang Family be concerned about the marriage of their descendants? Is the outside world so free to the extreme?"

Speaking of this, he also thought of his eldest son, Zhang Weiyin, Zhang Xiaoyang's father!

Back then, just for the women of the free world, this guy didn't want to strive anymore, retired early, and went abroad to roll around with women.

Now, the marriage of granddaughter Zhang Xiao You is approaching, and Zhang Weiyin isn't bothered at all.

Zhang Xiaoyang, on the other hand, is advocating for freedom now.

Zhang Xiaoyang was a bit afraid of his grandfather getting angry, so he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, don't be angry, I'm just expressing my feelings. Sister has been studying abroad for three years, so she should have a boyfriend, that's an objective fact! It can't be that, if she really has a boyfriend, we'll force them to break up, right?"

Zhang Taikang looked at his eldest grandson, his eyes sharp as needles, seeming to pierce his heart, saying, "Xiao You has never mentioned her personal issues, none of us knows, do you know something?"

"Well... I..." Zhang Xiaoyang suddenly felt a bit flustered.

It seems that under Grandpa's stern aura, some things can't be hidden!

Now, Zhang Taikang was more keenly aware of his grandson's change in expression, and couldn't help but sneer, "Ah, so there is something going on, and you all are hiding it from me, right? Do you still regard me as your grandfather? Grandpa is only seventy-seven, not at the dying age yet!"

"Hey, hey, hey... Grandpa, don't say that, don't ah, don't, don't, don't..." Zhang Xiaoyang hurriedly waved his hand, indicating a gesture to stop.

"Are you going to say it or not?"

Zhang Xiaoyang suddenly became dejected, his shoulders drooping as if he had given up, "Alright, I'll say it, I'll say it... Sister in Little Japan is indeed seeing someone, I only found out just before New Year's, they've been together for almost six months now!"

"Where's he from? What's his family background? What's the boy's occupation? Surely he went there for studies from our country, right?"

Zhang Taikang's face indeed turned somewhat dark, looking unpleasant.

Initially, when Zhang Xiao You wanted to study in Little Japan, he was somewhat opposed.

But, he couldn't resist this granddaughter begging on her knees, appearing so pitiful, his heart softened as a grandfather, thus he agreed.

Why? Because although Zhang Taikang is a Southeast political bigshot, he came from a military background in his youth, his education is different. The hatred for Little Japan is engraved in his bones!

Many elderly people of his age, speak of Little Japan, don't they still clench their teeth in anger?

Zhang Xiaoyang felt Grandpa's emotions running high at this moment, but he still had to continue speaking, after all he started talking, it's truly hard to stop talking now. Doesn't he know Grandpa's temper?

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoyang could only say softly, "The person is not someone from our country who went there for studies, he's from Little Japan. His father is a professor at Waseda University, he's personally a doctoral candidate in linguistics, and is three years younger than Big Sister..."

"What?!!!"

Zhang Taikang was completely furious, his face flushed, eyes aggressive with wrath, slamming the table, his emotions were intensely heightened.

That slap on the tea table made the teacup jump.

An overwhelming sense of shame madly rushed over his heart.

An elderly like him, hearing that his granddaughter was dating someone from Little Japan, could he not be angry?

Zhang Xiaoyang knew he had caused trouble today, but also felt powerless, could only look at Grandpa in despair, saying, "Grandpa, I did talk to Xiao You about it; she didn't listen, alas... don't be angry, health is important, health is important..."

Zhang Taikang took several deep breaths, only after his expression calmed slightly, he slowly sat down, turned his head towards the lake.

Facing the water, he slowly began to talk about many things, like those years, revolutions, the crimes of Little Japan, and so on...

As for Zhang Xiaoyang, actually he didn't have much feeling for this. Because he is clear about what happened in history; past and present, hatred and future, he can discern these.

So, regarding his sister and her Little Japan boyfriend, Zhang Xiaoyang is still quite accepting.

But Grandpa can't, this generation of elders really can't, their hearts can't get past that hurdle.

Listening to Grandpa talk about these things, he grew up hearing them, so he still listens now, silently.

Finally, Zhang Taikang turned around, his gaze like nails, "Xiaoyang, you mustn't tell Xiao You about this matter, otherwise, she might abandon her return ticket, understand?"

"Understood, I get it..."

Zhang Xiaoyang could only nod, his voice becoming much softer.

"As long as she finishes her studies and returns home, she should no longer think about her Little Japan boyfriend, stay home, work teaching, find a fitting man and marry."

"Alright, I understand."

"I've already found a match for her, it's Liu Zhizhong."

"What the hell..."

Then, it was Zhang Xiaoyang's turn to explode!

Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes almost popped out, he also stood up, looking at his grandfather in disbelief, experiencing an internal collapse.

What kind of absurd words are these, Grandpa?

So, I snatched Liu Zhizhong's girlfriend, and I have to compensate him with my sister?

Moreover, my sister pursues freedom, has a great Little Japan boyfriend, would she even consider Liu Zhizhong?

Is Grandpa using this method to resolve my conflict with Liu Zhizhong? To make us a political alliance?

Confused!!!!

Zhang Xiaoyang's mind was roaring, helplessly roaring!

"Grandpa..." Zhang Xiaoyang was almost in tears, "Your arrangement... really goes beyond my expectations! Can we not handle Liu Zhizhong in another way? Besides..."

Zhang Taikang waved his hand, stopping Zhang Xiaoyang from continuing.

"Don't overreact, this is the best arrangement. Judging from appearance and character, Liu Zhizhong and your sister are fully matched. In terms of talents, they are also a good fit."

"Liu Zhizhong comes from humble beginnings, being able to marry into the Zhang family is a fortune he could never dream of. He's a clever person, he will recognize how many benefits are at stake for him."

"You become his brother-in-law, and he becomes your brother-in-law, I don't believe you two would still be political adversaries."

"You both are smart people, working together in unity will definitely achieve great things. Don't make enemies, make friends, there is no better outcome than this."

He said a lot, and Zhang Xiaoyang felt overwhelmed listening.

From the heart, Zhang Xiaoyang absolutely cannot accept such facts.

Why should the enemy Liu Zhizhong win the favor of the Zhang family beauty? Plus, he'll enjoy the political resources of the Zhang family!

Zhang Xiaoyang feels indignant, even has the impulse to notify his sister...
