HCB Chapter 295 Hypocrisy
Chapter 295 Hypocrisy
"Caw...caw..." Two or three crows passed by.
In the large square of Shifengzhai, the guests were all looking at the people on the stage.
They never expected that attending a coming-of-age ceremony would lead to such a dramatic scene.
Someone actually proposed to the chieftain's daughter on her coming-of-age ceremony.
In normal circumstances, this would be considered a beautiful story, a tale of a talented man and a beautiful woman, something everyone would enjoy.
However, they had all heard that the chieftain had previously agreed to marry his daughter to his most capable assistant, Tiger.
The villagers had long assumed that Sun Guixiang would marry Tiger when she grew up.
Who knew this would happen?
Their gazes all turned toward the tiger standing beside the chieftain.
They all showed a hint of pity for him on their faces; the majestic tiger's head was a little green.
Sun Chuang's face darkened as he stared at Sun Guixiang with a sullen expression.
Sun Guixiang was originally worried that her father would scold her or even blame her.
But when she saw Dongfang Ming walk onto the stage, she felt as if he were a god descended from heaven to save her.
At that moment, she felt that even if her father beat her to death, it would be worth it.
Dongfang Ming stood tall and straight, completely unconcerned about the gazes and words of others, and walked steadily toward Sun Guixiang.
If you ignore the smug smile on his lips, the scene would be absolutely beautiful.
He walked up to Sun Guixiang and extended his hand, saying, "I'm here."
Sun Guixiang looked up, and the moment she heard his words, her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
At this moment, Dongfang Ming's image in her mind was incredibly lofty.
She felt it was the best decision she had ever made in her life.
She extended her hand.
Dongfang Ming gently pulled her up, took out a tea-brown brocade handkerchief from his bosom, and glanced down at Sun Guixiang, whose face was streaked with tears.
He thought to himself, "How come other people look pitiful with tears in their eyes, but when it comes to her, even the words 'tears in the eyes' feel like bullying?"
He glanced at it only once before forcing his eyes to lose focus, and gently wiped away the tears on Sun Guixiang's face with a handkerchief.
Sun Guixiang heard Dongfang Ming's gentle voice, and as she approached, she smelled the ambergris emanating from him. She watched as he tenderly wiped away her tears.
She had never seen such a person before.
No, I've seen it before, only in my dreams.
This is the lover of her dreams. If such a person also likes her, she will definitely settle their marriage today, no matter what.
After getting up, Dongfang Ming shielded Sun Guixiang behind him and pulled her to Sun Chuang.
"I am serious about Miss Sun, and I beg the chieftain to grant my request."
Sun Guixiang also spoke up anxiously, "My daughter has made up her mind about Chen Lang for life, and she will marry no one else!!"
A hint of anger flashed across Sun Chuang's face as he glared at Dongfang Ming, whose daughter had been under his watchful eye for some time.
How did I end up getting involved with this person?
He felt that his daughter was very naive and must have been provoked by this villain, otherwise she wouldn't have thought that this scene would happen today.
He pointed at Dongfang Ming and said, "Chen Ming, when did you get involved with my daughter?" He spoke without thinking.
I really can't think of a suitable word to describe the current relationship between the two of them.
Although he also liked Chen Ming very much, he wanted to take the initiative in this matter, rather than being so passive as he was now.
Chen Ming clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and bowed to Sun Chuang, saying, "Chief Sun, Gui Xiang and I are destined for each other."
"That day, I was wandering around the village by myself when suddenly a beautiful figure caught my eye, and I was immediately drawn to her liveliness and cuteness."
"..."
"I secretly sent someone to inquire about it, and that's how I got to know Guixiang."
"Please forgive my abruptness, Chief Sun. It is true that I felt an instant connection with Guixiang and fell in love with her at second sight."
"I will marry no one but you in this lifetime!!"
After saying that, he knelt down on one knee.
"Please grant my request, Chief Sun!!"
Sun Guixiang was moved by his heartfelt confession, and she knelt down heavily as well.
“Father, I don’t like that tiger. I’ve decided on Chen Lang for the rest of my life. If you insist on forcing me to marry someone I don’t like, then I’d rather just kill myself right here.”
"You!" Sun Chuang was so angry at his daughter's words that his beard trembled.
He pointed at Sun Guixiang for a long time without being able to speak, then said, "You unfilial daughter!" He then flicked his sleeves.
"How can you do this to the tiger who is so devoted to you?"
He looked at the tiger, who was grieving alone to the side.
The tiger glanced at Sun Chuang, then at Sun Guixiang, and left without looking back.
Sun Chuang wanted to chase after him, but Sun Guixiang stopped him, "Father, Father! Please grant your daughter's wish!"
Sun Chuang raised his hand, but before the slap could land, he saw her tears and couldn't bear it, so he lowered his hand heavily.
Seeing that her father still wouldn't budge, Sun Guixiang became a little anxious and glanced at Dongfang Ming beside her.
Dongfang Ming nodded slightly, gesturing to her.
Sun Guixiang knelt down and tightly held onto Sun Chuang's calves.
She spoke as she had previously agreed with Dongfang Ming, uttering a statement that greatly surprised everyone.
"Even if Father doesn't consider his daughter, doesn't he consider the grandson in her womb?"
Sun Chuang stood there in shock. He turned around, stared fiercely at Chen Ming, and wanted to walk over and slap him.
But Sun Guixiang pulled him back with all her might.
He pointed at Chen Ming, "You..."
He never imagined that his daughter and he had actually become husband and wife.
"You're trying to kill me!"
He struggled to break free from Sun Guixiang, walked up to Chen Ming, and slapped him hard across the face.
"Snap!" A loud sound.
The people below gasped in shock.
It seems that Chief Sun really doesn't know about his daughter and Chen Ming's affair.
Sun Guixiang covered her face, turned around and glanced at Sun Chuang, "This was all my daughter's own choice, and has nothing to do with Chen Lang."
Dongfang Ming pulled Sun Guixiang into his arms. He never expected that Sun Chuang would actually dare to attack him.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, which he concealed very well.
He took Sun Guixiang's hand and said resolutely, "If Chief Sun is unwilling to grant our request, then we can no longer stay in Shifeng Village."
"I will find another place to give birth to the child with Guixiang. I will never let Guixiang suffer any grievances."
After saying that, he prepared to leave with Sun Guixiang.
When Sun Chuang heard that Chen Ming was going to leave with his daughter, he became anxious.
The play has been performed long enough; if it continues, it will become unmanageable.
He closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Fine, since things have come to this, if I don't agree, I'll just become the bad guy who breaks up the couple."
"I can't control you anymore. You can decide your own affairs."
After saying that, he pretended to raise his hand and wipe away non-existent tears from the corner of his eye, saying, "In the end, I have let Tiger down."
With a deeply sorrowful expression, he was helped away by his servants.
Everyone below couldn't help but sigh that this chieftain loved the tiger more than his own daughter!
It's just a pity for the tiger; after all these years, it's all for nothing.
But the chieftain had done everything he could for him.
