Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 884: V712: Love Is Traversing Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Devotion [58]_5
Mai Shilong was also heartbroken, but after a long while, under the trembling tears, he turned his head away and said nothing.
The silence made everyone in the house realize that Second Brother might have made a decision, desperately.
In an even more desperate mood, Mai Manxiang understood something, leaned against the headboard, letting tears roll down her fair little face, leaving two grooves.
Over the years, if it weren’t for Father’s excessive love for Brother Mingyan resulting in the broken engagement, and later feeling embarrassed to discuss marriage again, she and Brother Mingyan would have been married already, wouldn’t they?
She didn’t understand, aren’t all parents supposed to love their children in this world?
Why did Father, after seeing Feng Chengyue’s sadness for the first time, sigh and find a way to send Feng Chengyue away, but then, noticing Brother Mingyan’s attitude, softened and withdrew?
He even silently agreed after Feng Chengjin appeared, seeing Brother Mingyan’s possibly prosperous future!
But what about her? She is his daughter!
If Brother Mingyan marries another woman, she’s already twenty-five, what should she do?
Is she supposed to live out her life in solitude? Why can’t he consider her situation! Is she expected to endure the ridicule of the entire village all her life?
All these years, people who didn’t know thought they had an engagement, that Qiu Mingyan would eventually come back to marry her.
Doesn’t he know that the ridicule she’s endured over the years should be accounted for!
Heartache filled her eyes with trembling tears, she’s in utter despair.
Until suddenly, accompanied by Mai Manshan’s hurried footsteps, the entire Mai Family felt as if struck by a burst of energy or thunder.
Mai Manshan rushed in, panting heavily, looking at the uproarious family atmosphere, paused, swallowed, and said, "No, something’s wrong, the Feng Family people this time are really odd, Uncle, Dad, Auntie, Aunty, Mom, the Feng Family people this time... seem to dislike Brother Mingyan a lot, really dislike him..."
=========================
[Interjecting a small plot twist, purely because there wasn’t enough of Li Zhi’s misfortune, and writing further would disrupt the plot, so it is placed at the end just to delight the beauties:]
At night, Li Zhi heard rustling noises in the room and abruptly sat up from the bed.
What was that noise?
In the pitch black, she couldn’t see anything, yet an irrational fear crawled over her.
A cold sweat broke out as she hurriedly reached for her phone to shine a light.
However, as soon as her hand reached out, she touched something furry.
Yes, it was furry!
"Squeak squeak..."
Li Zhi was practically going crazy, she jumped off the bed, "Ah! What is this! Help!"
A piercing scream instantly shattered the silent long night.
The assistant housekeeper, rushing to the scene, hurriedly switched on the flashlight, "Young Madam, what’s wrong?"
This kind of inappropriate master-servant dynamic was awkward.
Nevertheless, Li Zhi couldn’t care less, she lifted the quilt and said, "There’s something!"
In an instant, both realized it was a mouse.
The bedsheet covers and the velvet pillowcases were adorned with mouse pawprints.
Li Zhi was petrified.
At this moment, any sense of dignity and elegance was completely discarded.
After an "Ah!" scream, Li Zhi ordered the assistant housekeeper to start exterminating the mouse.
However, how could a mouse be easily caught? At once, Li Zhi stood on the bed, while the people who came with her hustled about, toppling expensive cosmetics, stepping on designer shoes, and knocking over high-end luggage.
The more Li Zhi saw, the angrier she became.
In this environment, she wondered how Feng Chengjin managed to stay here for 4 or 5 days!
Li Zhi felt her brain must have been kicked by a donkey.
Why pass up a perfectly good life as a wealthy lady to come to this poverty-stricken backwater and suffer!
In her frustration, she only hoped to quickly catch that vile mouse.
Yet, just as everyone was trying to catch that little mouse, from the wooden beam above, the mother mouse let out a sharp "squeak" then suddenly leapt down and landed squarely on Li Zhi’s head.
Attempting to rescue her own baby.
However, Li Zhi was frozen, raising her hand, she touched the thing on her head.
Her face went pale, eyes rolled back—
Gone, died at the age of 50.
