Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Threat_1
Peng Ye’s words hung in the air, and silence suddenly filled the car.
He Xiaohui’s mouth opened slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face. Her uncle and aunt would rather their own child be a scapegoat than have her as their daughter-in-law. How painful that must be.
Mo Han and Luo Ning exchanged glances, both noticing the surprise and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
"Daddy, what does ’scapegoat’ mean?"
At this moment, Mo Xiaochen, who was sitting in the front seat, asked in confusion.
Mo Han smiled awkwardly and did not answer, simply stroking his daughter’s head.
"Xiao Hui, wait for a moment, I’ll go out and explain things clearly!"
Seeing the paleness on his girlfriend’s face, Peng Ye knew that for Xiao Hui, for his own marriage, he had to step up and clarify things himself.
He Xiaohui bit her red lips and whispered, "Okay, I’ll wait for you in the car."
"Hmm."
Peng Ye pushed open the car door, brushed off his mother’s hand, and strode out.
Luo Ning thought briefly and then said to her husband, "Mo Han, maybe you should go down and take a look."
"Alright."
Mo Han also wanted to see the bizarre Peng Family, so he stepped out as well.
Seeing Peng Ye approaching, Zhan Buqun smiled faintly and said, "Ah, here comes our Mr. Son-in-law from the Zhan Family."
"Uncle Zhan, I’m flattered by your kindness, but I’ve already found the woman I love, and I will not marry anyone else but her in this lifetime."
Peng Ye lifted his head, cupped his hands towards Zhan Buqun, and spoke with an earnest seriousness, "Please forgive me and do not blame my parents."
Zhan Buqun’s brows furrowed as he turned to Father Peng and said, "Old Peng, what is this? Are you playing me?"
Father Peng turned pale with shock, quickly bowing his head and saying, "Mr. Zhan, it’s not what you think..."
But as he spoke, he didn’t know how to finish his sentence. Could he possibly admit that to secure the Zhan Family’s dowry, he was trying to persuade his son to leave his original girlfriend, and not only had he not succeeded, but he had also fallen out with his son?
However, at this moment, Mother Peng had an idea. Pointing at Mo Han, who had just followed Peng Ye, she shifted the blame and said, "Mr. Zhan, Xiao Ye had already agreed to us, but it was this outsider who interfered, insisting on marrying that poor girl into our family!"
Zhan Buqun scowled slightly, his expression extremely displeased as he looked at Mo Han and said coldly, "Is that so?"
Mo Han stood with his hands behind his back, his face indifferent as he said, "Whether it’s true or not, don’t you have a brain?"
Zhan Buqun, who had been in business for many years and was used to being treated with the utmost respect, could not tolerate this young man’s attitude in front of him.
He looked Mo Han up and down and said lightly, "Kid, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you?"
"What, you think driving a big G makes you impressive?"
"I’m warning you, today is my daughter’s big day with the Peng Family’s young man. If you don’t want trouble, then get lost!"
"Big day?"
Mo Han couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Uncle, are you hard of hearing or what? Didn’t you hear what Peng Ye said? He already has someone he loves, and he won’t marry your daughter!"
"I suggest you quickly find someone else to be the scapegoat, or else, you won’t be able to hide that belly."
"You!"
Zhan Buqun was furious. His gaze bore into the Peng Family, his daughter Zhan Linna’s pregnancy was something he had only mentioned to Old Peng, and now an outsider knew about it, which clearly meant the Peng Family had leaked it.
Old Peng didn’t know how Mo Han found out about this. At this time, Mother Peng said in a low voice, "It’s all Xiao Ye’s doing. Just now in the car, he told that He girl everything..."
"Sigh!"
Old Peng sighed in frustration, now only able to attempt damage control, "President Zhan, please don’t stoop to the level of this outsider, let’s go back to the room and talk."
As he spoke, he gestured to his wife with his eyes, signaling her to swiftly take their son inside.
But Peng Ye had lost hope, so how could he possibly comply easily? He violently shook off his mother’s arm and hysterically shouted, "Mom! How many times do I have to tell you? Even if you beat me to death today, I won’t be with another woman!"
"I know you want me to become the son-in-law of the Zhan Family, so our Peng Family can get a hefty dowry and a lot of foreign trade orders."
"But I’m not a tool, not a commodity! I’m a person, a living, breathing, emotional human being!"
"My heart belongs only to He Xiaohui! In this life, I, Peng Ye, will only marry He Xiaohui as my wife!"
"Don’t talk about a fifty million dowry, even if it’s five hundred million, five billion, fifty billion! I won’t marry another woman!"
Having said this, he took a deep breath, walked up to Zhan Linna, bent at a ninety-degree angle, and deeply bowed, "Miss Zhan, I’m sorry, I hope you can understand."
After speaking, he turned to leave.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Peng Ye’s defiance put both the Peng family and the Zhan family elders in an awkward position.
Zhan Linna initially only intended to go through the motions with Peng Ye, to marry, have a child, and then go abroad to enjoy her life.
But him openly rejecting her was something her pride couldn’t accept.
She trembled with rage, pointed at Peng Ye’s retreating back, and angrily exclaimed, "Peng! You damn stand still for grandma!"
"Who gave you the audacity to refuse grandma? What the hell do you think you are!"
"I’ll lay it out here now. If you don’t marry grandma today, your entire family will suffer the consequences!"
Zhan Linna’s mother glanced at the Peng family with a snort, obviously siding with her daughter.
Zhan Buqun also held his head high with arrogance, saying, "I, Zhan Buqun, may not be anything extraordinary, but I have some influence in Jiangnan City. Taking care of your insignificant Peng Family is well within my means!"
"If you had obediently become my Zhan family’s son-in-law, not only would you have received a valuable dowry, there would also be chances for great earnings by joining our Zhan family’s ventures in the future."
"But if you remain deluded and insist on being with that poor girl Xiao Hui! Heh heh, I assure you, not just you and that girl, but also your parents will not end well!"
This...
Father Peng and Mother Peng were startled, exchanging panicked looks with their son.
They knew the might of the Zhan Family, and if Zhan Buqun truly decided to ruin them, he indeed had the power to do so.
Peng Ye’s steps suddenly halted, and he forced a bitter smile as tears unknowingly filled his cheeks.
Amid the gaze of the crowd, Peng Ye gritted his teeth and suddenly bolted towards the road in a rush.
At this moment, the traffic on the road was unceasing, with several large trucks passing by occasionally.
He couldn’t betray Xiao Hui, nor could he harm his parents. The immense pressure left him with no options, only the wish to dissolve these conflicts with his own death.
He Xiaohui, sitting in the car, saw Peng Ye dash towards the road and, in a panic, got out of the car, desperately shouting, "Don’t!"
Father Peng and Mother Peng were also in a frenzy, hurriedly chasing after him, "Xiao Ye!"
Zhan Buqun and his family, on the other hand, watched with cold indifference, not caring about Peng Ye’s fate.
By this time, Peng Ye had rushed onto the road, and at that moment, a dump truck was speeding towards him.
He Xiaohui, holding up the hem of her wedding dress, cried and shrieked, "Xiao Ye, don’t do it!"
Hearing his girlfriend’s screams, Peng Ye was in agony, but he truly saw no way to resolve the current conflicts.
He gritted his teeth and charged towards the direction of the oncoming dump truck.
"Goodbye, Xiao Hui!"
