Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 177

Chu Feng collected himself and patted on Yun Muyu’s head before leaving the noodle shop.

Before he left, he took out a stack of cash and placed it on the table, as payment for the meal. That amount was enough to buy one whole yak.

She was an acquaintance that was also from Xiye after all, and he would surely not mistreat the hospitality and sincerity of this lady.

Yun Muyu followed Chu Feng closely from behind like a shadow and kept pounding him with questions.

Chu Feng was getting irritated; they were both sisters but why was this little bugger’s personality the complete opposite of Yun Muqing’s?

As he pondered that question, the silhouette of a beautiful girl suddenly appeared at the front of a nearby mall. Chu Feng stopped in his tracks and his gaze turned to her, the look in his eyes was one that showed mixed feelings.

“What is it, Chu Feng? Do you know this pretty lady? Judging by her looks, she surely has a boyfriend already,” commented Yun Muyu as she blinked her eyes.

“She was my sister,” said Chu Feng calmly.

It was Zhou Ying and Sun Mingxuan’s whole family.

......

It was going to be an unforgettable day for Zhou Ying and even for the Zhou family three days from now. It was going to be a day they would remember for the rest of their lives.

Sun Mingxuan and her were finally going to walk down the aisle.

However, Zhou Ying did not seem as happy as he had imagined. Instead, she looked a little frustrated and disappointed.

She had thought that Sun Mingxuan was her knight in shining armor, and that she was going to become the happiest woman in the world.

However, Sun Mingxuan had shown his true colors the night when he was embarrassed by Ma Sanyuan at the Golden Sands Night Club, allowing her to see his crude nature for herself.

He had now filled her with disgust. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nonetheless, Zhou Ying was a girl with conventional values, so how could she go back on her engagement just like that?

Furthermore, Sun Mingxuan had been sweet-talking her these few days, causing the kind and gentle person like her to waver. She did not have the heart to break up with him anymore.

According to tradition, Sun Mingxuan’s family was going to bring their soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Zhou Ying to purchase the three golden accessories [1] for the wedding. This could at least lift Zhou Ying’s mood a little.

Women were naturally fond of jewelries and trinkets after all, and they could not resist them.

“Yingying, it'll be our wedding day in three days' time. I will make you the happiest woman in the world.” Sun Mingxuan had a look of sincerity and he continued to sweet-talk her as he said boastfully, “Just pick out whichever jewelries you are fond of today.”

Zhou Ying gazed at all the luxury items in the mall and they were all shimmering. Her mood was lifted in an instant as she said smilingly, “Thank you, Mingxuan.”

“Why are you being so modest? You're going to be my wife.”

“Why are the two of you still dawdling? Stop dallying around, we’re just shopping for some items. Just decide on it quickly, I still have an appointment at the beauty salon to do some treatments.” There was a middle-aged lady who was draped in jewels and she was dressed very elegantly. She knitted her brows and uttered under her breath, “A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin, she will never be treated with respect. I don't even know which part of her has attracted Mingxuan.”

This lady was Sun Mingxuan’s mother, Tang’e.

One’s wife and mother were often natural-born enemies; the same applied to the Sun family.

Two of Sun Mingxuan’s aunts were also dressed elegantly as they held their hands over their mouths and started giggling. They kept snickering and commenting at Zhou Ying as they looked down on her.

Being ‘noble ladies’, they despised people like Zhou Ying who came from a dirt poor family. If she did not have the good looks, and if the Zhou family had not been that lucky to have acquired a piece of commercial land that was close to 160 acres, they would not have agreed to this marriage.

They were whispering in a soft voice but Zhou Ying could still hear every single word clearly. The very next second, the smile on her face had turned into a look of disappointment and sorrow. She pursed her lips and just stood at the side disheartenedly. She was at a loss.

Tang’e lifted her gaze and glanced at Zhou Ying who was in a corner, looking pitiful and as if she had been wronged. Tang’e just scoffed at her, “Hey, what happened? I just said a few words to you and you're already feeling distressed, wanting to cry already?” She put on an arrogant look that was supposed to show that she had the authority as an elderly. Then, she shook her head and mocked, “Do you think I have crossed the line and that I'm bullying you? Or do you think that being the daughter-in-law of our Sun family has done you wrong?”

[1] Chinese wedding tradition requires the groom to buy three golden accessories for the bride, which are the ring, necklace and a pair of earrings.
