Yan Wu also expressed his determination not to marry anyone other than Su Xiaoling. He looked at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao and then said, “If I can’t marry Su Xiaoling, I won’t marry anyone else in this lifetime. I don’t want this life anymore. I can only return your kindness in my next life.”
Yan Wu knelt in front of Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. He straightened his back and kowtowed to them.
As he kowtowed, he begged, “Uncle, Auntie, please help us.”
The mother and son echoed each other. They had already thought of what to do. Now, all of this was within their expectations.
It was a mixture of truth and falsehood, revealing true feelings. Anyone who saw it had to believe it.
Although their proposal was very sudden, there was a reason for all of this.
How many people were envious of Su Sanlang’s family?
People liked to pull people down from high places. They liked to watch them struggle. It was common sense that people’s hearts were dark.
This was what Madam Zhang was using.
She wanted to force Su Xiaoling to marry him no matter what.
As long as the marriage was successful and Su Xiaoling was subdued in the future, she would go back to her family and put in a good word for her. There would no longer be any hatred.
Yan Wu kowtowed and begged Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. Madam Zhang shouted into the courtyard with tears in her eyes, “Xiaoling, Xiaoling, come out and see Xiao Wu…”
Su Chong, Su Hua, Zhou Heng, and Su Xiaoling were alarmed by the commotion outside.
Especially Madam Zhang’s words. Every word was related to Su Xiaoling.
Su Xiaoling clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and said with a trembling voice, “I’ll go out and explain clearly. I have no interaction with Yan Wu at all. I don’t like him at all!”
As Su Xiaoling spoke, she was about to leave when Zhou Heng grabbed her.
Zhou Heng said in a deep voice, “You can’t go out now. If you go out, it will suit their wishes.”
Su Xiaoling glanced at Zhou Heng with tears in her eyes. “Then what should I do?”
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling’s tears and his heart tightened.
Su Hua frowned.
Su Chong clapped his hands. “I’ll break his legs and dislocate his mouth so that they can’t speak. I’ll chase them all out.”
No one had expected such a disgusting thing to happen to their family.
No matter what he did, he could not change the fact that he was disgusted.
If he beat the Yan family away, what happened today would spread in a day. Su Xiaoling would become a laughing stock.
From the beginning, their family had been at a disadvantage. No matter how they dealt with it, they would suffer.
Su Chong was so angry that he was about to explode.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and chased after Su Chong.
Su Xiaoling wanted to follow too, but Zhou Heng refused to let go of her.
“You can’t go.”
Zhou Heng said persistently.
Su Xiaoling choked. “I want to go. This matter concerns me. I have to go. At most, I won’t marry for the rest of my life.”
“Little Brother Heng, let go of me.”
Su Xiaoling pulled her hand away. Zhou Heng held it tightly. She looked at Zhou Heng and said in a heavy tone.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling and clenched his fists under his sleeves. He did not mention it because he did not know what his future would be.
It was not a good thing to involve Su Xiaoling rashly. He was not a good match.
But now, the heavens had caused Su Xiaoling to suffer such an ordeal. If he stood up, there would be no turning back. However, he was indifferent. This matter would be Su Xiaoling’s eternal pain.
He had yet to think of what to do. It would hurt no matter what he did.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling, his eyes were dark.
Su Xiaoling struggled for a while. She looked at Zhou Heng and said coldly, “Zhou Heng, let go.”
She said his name, which meant she was angry.
Zhou Heng swallowed and looked at Su Xiaoling. “I have a way.”
Hope flashed across Su Xiaoling’s eyes. What could Zhou Heng do?
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling seriously and said, “Marry me. We’re childhood sweethearts. I’m young and I’m also a High Scholar. Yan Wu will never be able to catch up to me on this point. Only then can we make the slander they pour on us useless and reverse the situation.”
What he had, Yan Wu could forget about catching up in this lifetime. Therefore, everyone knew at a glance that as long as Su Xiaoling was not blind or crazy, it was impossible for her to choose Yan Wu.
What the Yan family did today was completely on purpose. They wanted to punch above their weight. People would only mock the Yan family for their wishful thinking and not say anything bad about Su Xiaoling.
“This, this won’t do.”
Su Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. She wanted to refuse and give a reason.
“Xiaoling, I did this for no other reason than because I like you. I can’t bear to see you suffer. My heart will ache. I didn’t bring it up because I was afraid that you would suffer with me. Now, I have to say, don’t come out and wait for me.”
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling calmly and seriously. After saying that, he let go of Su Xiaoling’s hand and left.
Su Xiaoling was stunned on the spot. Her heart was beating very fast and she did not know what to do.
Outside, Madam Zhang and Yan Wu’s voices could be heard. There were also the voices of her parents, eldest brother, and second brother, but they seemed to be far away from her.
She stopped in her tracks and waited.
Outside the house.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaolu had already beaten up the people who came to give gifts. The people were screaming.

Madam Zhang and Yan Wu also begged repeatedly.
Su Sanlang trembled with anger and joined in the beating. Madam Zhang called over twenty people.
Even if they fought, people would run. Even if they ran, they would talk nonsense.
This was what Madam Zhang and Yan Wu wanted to see. What was there to be afraid of being beaten up? For the sake of many benefits in the future, it didn’t matter what they suffered now.
The Su family didn’t dare to kill them. If they were injured, they could just ask them to pay for the medical fees.
The bigger the matter, the better. At that time, no one would ask Su Xiaoling.
Ordinary families would not dare to marry Su Xiaoling, afraid that they would lower their pride.
As for rich families, it was even more impossible for them to marry Su Xiaoling. They were afraid of ruining the family’s reputation.
If Su Xiaoling wanted to get married, she could only enter the Yan family and be her daughter-in-law.
“Get lost, all of you get lost.”
Madam Zhao roared angrily. Not only did Madam Zhang not leave, but she still went up to her. “My good sister, please fulfill the child’s wish.”
Madam Zhao wanted to hit Madam Zhang, so Madam Zhang did not retreat.
Madam Zhao raised her hand, her entire body trembling, but she did not hit her.
At this moment, Zhou Heng came out. He shouted in a low voice, “Everyone, stop!”
“Ah Chong, Ah Hua, Xiaolu, come back. Why are you fighting with such people? You’ll dirty your hands for nothing. Our Su family isn’t an unreasonable family. Let’s calm down and explain things clearly with all our neighbors.”
Zhou Heng said in a gentle and calm voice. He was dressed like a scholar and looked handsome. He looked polite, humble, and restrained.
Madam Zhang smiled and said, “Young Master, you’re most reasonable.”
Zhou Heng ignored Madam Zhang and nodded at Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaolu.
With their understanding and tacit understanding, they knew that Zhou Heng had a solution. Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaolu stopped and walked back to Zhou Heng. Su Sanlang also stopped. Everyone looked at Zhou Heng and waited for him to speak again.
