Chapter 778: Chapter 778: This Marriage, Can’t Happen! _1

"Who are these two people?"

After a moment of shock, Mother Peng regained composure. With a frown and a puzzled look at Mo Han and Luo Ning, she asked, "What is their relationship with this girl surnamed He?"

"And what’s the deal with this car?"

As far as she knew, He Xiaohui’s social circle was very small, and she hardly had any friends. Even if she did, they wouldn’t drive such a nice car.

"Right, I’m here."

He Xiaohui nodded slightly, pushing away Peng Ye, who was hugging her, and introduced him with a blushing face, "Xiao Ye, this is Luo Ning, my best friend from school, whom I’ve told you about."

"This is her husband, Mo Han; it’s his car that drove me here."

"Also, this little friend’s name is Mo Xiaochen. She’s Ning’er and Big Brother Mo’s daughter, and she’s going to be the flower girl at our wedding."

It was only then that Peng Ye looked up. Upon seeing Luo Ning, he was instantly stunned.

He had long heard from He Xiaohui how beautiful her best friend was, even more dazzling than the TV stars. Now, seeing her in person, she truly lived up to her reputation. Was she really that beautiful?

However, he soon recovered, and with a grateful look, said, "Thank you, Miss Luo, Big Brother Mo, and Little Mo."

"Come, let’s go inside and have a rest."

Just then, Elder Peng walked over with his wife. He furrowed his brows and snorted, speaking with a slight displeasure, "Xiao Ye, who are these people?"

"Uncle and Auntie, this is my best friend Luo Ning, and this is her husband Mo Han. They came from out of town to attend my wedding," He Xiaohui replied, raising her head with a smile.

"No respect for elders! Did I ask you?"

Elder Peng spoke coldly with his hands behind his back, "He Xiaohui! You have not yet entered our family, it’s not your turn to speak here!"

The joy on He Xiaohui’s face froze in an instant, her lips pressed tight. She wanted to retort but contained herself.

"Dad!"

Peng Ye frowned slightly and tugged at his father’s arm, saying, "Today is the happiest day of my life. Can you not be like this?"

Elder Peng seemed not to have heard his son, his face still stern, yet he gave a meaningful look to his wife.

Understanding the signal, Mother Peng coughed lightly and positioned herself in the doorway, blocking He Xiaohui and the others from entering.

"He Xiaohui! Where are your parents?"

In order to keep He Xiaohui out of their home, Mother Peng began to look for trouble, "Why aren’t they here? What’s the matter? They think they’re too good for the Peng Family, is that it?"

He Xiaohui’s heart jumped and she hung her head, saying, "Auntie, my parents... they have some issues..."

Mother Peng let out a cold laugh, "Some issues? Tell me, what could be more important than your own wedding?"

"I believe that your family is deliberately trying to embarrass our Peng family!"

"What’s the point of this wedding? Let’s call it off!"

Seeing her mother-in-law making a scene, He Xiaohui was out of options and had to reply, "Auntie, I am really sorry, they are not very happy about the bride price, so I don’t think they will come today..."

Mother Peng was looking for an excuse to cause trouble, and upon hearing this, her heart leaped for joy. However, she feigned outrage and said, "What? They still want a bride price?"

"He Xiaohui! Do you have any sense at all? What is our family’s status? What is your family’s status?"

"Marrying into our family, you are reaching above your station, and you still want us to provide a bride price?"

Continuing, she snorted again and began to provoke He Xiaohui, "I’ve already inquired about your family in Lu County. Your dad is just a plasterer, and your mom a housewife. Plus, you have a brother who’s unemployed and got mixed up in gambling a few years ago!"

"If I’m not mistaken, your parents are asking for a bride price from us just to pay off your gambling-addict brother’s debts!"

She stopped, then earnestly advised her son, "Xiao Ye, their family’s situation really isn’t suitable for you!"

"It would be tolerable if your parents were just uneducated country folks, but your brother is a gambling addict. Who knows how much money he will drain in the future? Listen to your mother: call off the wedding today."

At that moment, Elder Peng approached He Xiaohui. With his hands behind his back, he spoke indifferently, "He Xiaohui, I know about the feelings between you and Xiao Ye, but the economic conditions of your families are too disparate."

"Marriage is about matching social status, rightfully and legitimately."

"Our families are mismatched in social status, and on top of that, you’re using the baby in your womb to force Xiao Ye. This is neither rightful nor legitimate."

"This marriage cannot happen!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Han’s eyebrows knotted into a frown. He had known He Xiaohui was not going to have an easy time today, but he hadn’t expected the Peng parents to be this unreasonable. To humiliate her family in front of her and then outright refuse the marriage, wasn’t this blatant humiliation?

Sure enough!

As He Xiaohui heard the words of Peng’s parents, the smile on her face had long since solidified, and tears began to fall.

"Xiao Hui! Don’t listen to their nonsense!"

Fortunately, Peng Ye showed some backbone. He clasped He Xiaohui’s hands and said earnestly, "This is my marriage, what they say doesn’t count; only I can make the decision!"

Both Father and Mother Peng furrowed their brows, the latter glaring fiercely at He Xiaohui before raising her hand for a slap, yelling, "You little slut, what kind of love potion have you fed to my Xiao Ye!"

"If you don’t get lost today, believe it or not, I’ll find someone to take care of you?"

At this, Father Peng also took a bank card from his pocket and threw it in front of He Xiaohui, saying coldly, "Does your family just want money? There’s half a million on this card. Take it, abort the child, and leave our Xiao Ye forever!"
