Chapter 602: Chapter 553, Parting_1
Yan Wentao rushed over, his head drenched in sweat. After catching his breath, he went to greet his elders, and his gaze finally settled on Madam Zhou.
“Aunt Zhou….”
Madam Zhou, worried that Yan Wentao might say something untimely, quickly interrupted him, “You are such a simple-hearted child. Even if your older brother is going to Beijing, there’s no need for you to rush over like this. Even if you hadn’t come, your brother wouldn’t have blamed you.”
Madam Li watched her nephew’s anxious face and glanced at Daohua, knowing that this girl must have told Wentao about Jingwan’s Beijing marriage proposal.
However, Madam Zhou’s attitude had already made it very clear. If their family continued to linger, it would seem unduly persistent.
Madam Li also feared that Yan Wentao might speak out of turn, potentially embarrassing both families. She promptly said with a smile, “Your older brother has already boarded the ship, you should go and say goodbye to him.”
Yan Wentao looked at Madam Li with pleading eyes, “Great Aunt….”
Seeing such helplessness in a strapping young man, Madam Li felt a pang of sympathy but couldn’t help glancing towards Madam Zhou, only to find her turning her head away as she met Madam Li’s eyes.
Seeing this, Madam Li felt helpless, knowing that a marriage with the Zhou family was out of the question. She steeled herself and said, “Wentao, your brother just mentioned you. Follow your great aunt and go see him.”
She then tried to pull Yan Wentao away, but was unable to move him.
Yan Wentao’s eyes flickered with struggle, his gaze continuously shifting towards the Zhou family’s ship. He had just returned with Yeyang and Wenkai from running errands outside when the Hidden Guard delivered the letter Daohua had sent him.
His heart felt like it was being viciously twisted by a knife at the news that Jingwan was discussing a marriage in Beijing.
He could see his great aunt’s difficulties and sense Madam Zhou’s evasive attitude. Daohua knew his feelings for Jingwan; he understood that if Jingwan were to consider marriage, she would help him.
Clearly, his great aunt must have mentioned it to Madam Zhou, but unfortunately, Madam Zhou did not agree.
He knew he wasn’t good enough for Jingwan, but he couldn’t bear to give up.
