Chapter 78: Engagement

As soon as Su Nan finished speaking, Mo Chi and Qin Ran looked at each other at the same time. One of them had an even uglier expression and clenched his fists tightly. The other frowned and looked embarrassed.

“Let’s not stand here anymore. Hurry up and go to my house to eat.” Su Nan pulled Qin Ran out. When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and looked at Mo Chi before saying, “Uncle, come with us. It’s not far. It’s just a few minutes walk.”

If any girl on the streets as old as Su Nan called him uncle, Mo Chi would not be angry. However, she was his wife’s best friend! Although he was very unwilling, Qin Ran had been pulled away by her after all. He had to follow her.

After walking for fifteen minutes, they arrived at Su Nan’s house. After she shouted that Qingqing had returned, a boy in his twenties replied happily. However, when he saw Qin Ran, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His mouth seemed to be stuck and he didn’t say a word for a long time.

This was Su Wang, Su Nan’s older brother. He had also grown up with Qin Ran, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

“Qingqing is here!” Su Qing’s parents walked out of the room later and looked at Qin Ran happily.

The group entered the house happily. Only Mo Chi responded to them with a face full of coldness.

After entering the house, they sat on the sofa by the coffee table. Mr. and Mrs. Su were in a hurry to ask about Mo Chi’s identity, so Qin Ran could only bite the bullet and explain, “This is my relative, he’s…”

Qin Ran stuttered and couldn’t continue.

“He’s her uncle.” Su Nan interrupted.

“So you’re Qingqing’s uncle. Sorry for the disrespect!” They happily thought that Mo Chi was from the Qin family. Because the Qin family was already at the top of the pyramid in their eyes, their eyes were immediately filled with respect.

Mo Chi, on the other hand, felt that he was about to explode from anger. But what could he do? Could it be that he really wanted to go against his wife? Forget it, forget it. He would remember it in his heart and settle it when they got home tonight.

“Qingqing, there’s something that Uncle and Auntie have been wanting to tell you, but we felt that you would dislike it, so we were too embarrassed to say it.”

After Mr. Su finished speaking, he glanced at Su Wang.

Qin Ran nodded politely. Actually, there was nothing to dislike. To put it bluntly, she was now an orphan.

“Then I’ll get straight to the point. You and Su Wang grew up together. You know his character and personality. And that your parents… are no longer around. We also watched you grow up. How do you think Uncle and Auntie treat you?”

These words didn’t sound right, but Qin Ran could only nod fiercely. “Uncle and Auntie are very good to me. I understand.”

“That’s right. Uncle and Auntie treat you well. Su Wang will treat you even better in the future. He has always liked you. Your parents also thought highly of your future before they died. So…”

When Mr. Su said this, Su Wang continued, “Qingqing, I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely protect you in the future.”

Qin Ran never expected to face a proposal when she came to the Su family. However, she subconsciously looked at Mo Chi.

Mo Chi pursed his lips tightly and trembled slightly. It seemed like he was really angry.

“I don’t agree.” Mo Chi’s eyes were filled with anger.

“Why… why is that?”

“Because of the crime of bigamy.” Mo Chi’s every word was powerful.

Bigamy?

Qin Ran married someone?

“Aren’t you going to introduce me to them?” Mo Chi changed back to his usual gentle appearance.

It seemed that the truth couldn’t be hidden forever. Lying really shouldn’t be done easily, because retribution came too quickly.

“Uncle, Auntie, Su Wang, Nannan. I’m already married. He’s not my uncle. He’s my husband.” Qin Ran lowered her head and said.

Married? And with this uncle? Why did Qin Ran choose to marry an uncle so early when she was just twenty years old? How could she be willing? He must have forced her!

“No matter how rich you are, you can’t force Qingqing to marry you!” The one who spoke angrily was Su Wang.

Qin Ran felt that even if her entire body was covered in mouths, she wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly. She could only wave her hands and shake her head. “No, no, I wasn’t forced.”

“Even if it’s forced, it has nothing to do with you.” Mo Chi didn’t want to say a word to this family. It was really detestable to try to steal his wife in front of him.
