Chapter 23: Settling the Marriage

“Director Xu!” Feng Cuihua looked at the director of the Revolutionary Committee, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.

She absolutely had to sell Su Anan to this old man today.

She knew this old man not only beat his wife but was also a pervert.

His previous wife had been beaten to death.

Su Anan naturally knew why Director Xu was here, and couldn’t help but narrow her beautiful eyes. This Feng Cuihua was truly courting death.

“You… marrying her?” Sun Rong looked at Director Xu, coldly snorting. “Don’t you dare even think about it!”

Spoiled by her parents and brother, and then doted on by her husband after marriage, she truly feared nothing.

At this moment, she was wholeheartedly protecting Su Anan.

Xu Fucheng looked at Sun Rong, a cold glint appearing in his eyes. In this place, who wouldn’t give him some face?

This was the first person who dared to speak to him like this.

The half-dead Liu Changchang hurriedly covered Sun Rong’s mouth. “Wife, watch your mouth! This is someone we can’t afford to offend.”

Even her powerful brother-in-law didn’t dare to directly provoke Xu Fucheng.

This Xu Fucheng was a rabid dog.

He bit anyone he saw.

He could easily fabricate a crime, and they would be finished.

Stepping hard on Liu Changchang’s foot, Sun Rong looked unconvinced. “I’m telling the truth! He’s an old man who wants to marry Anan, this young and beautiful girl. Isn’t that shameless? It’s like a toad trying to eat a swan.”

Liu Changchang wanted to die.

If Xu Fucheng really framed him and his brother-in-law, it would be very difficult to turn things around.

“Liu Shiliang, control your wife,” Xu Fucheng said coldly, his hawk-like eyes filled with a chilling aura. “I’m here to propose marriage to the Su family. Extraneous people can leave.”

Ever since he saw Su Anan’s photo, he had been thinking about her these past few days.

Mainly, Su Dajun was imprisoned, and Feng Cuihua, being a woman, was easy to intimidate.

He felt that as long as he spoke, he would definitely be able to marry Su Anan.

She was indeed a young and beautiful girl.

A delicate and pretty girl, the kind that was weak and gentle.

He could bully her however he wanted.

Looking at Su Anan, whose eyes were red from crying, his sadistic impulses began to stir.

She really made him want to bully her.

Hearing that he was Director Xu Fucheng from the Revolutionary Committee, the neighbors immediately dispersed.

Watching this unfold might bring trouble to their own families.

Sun Rong was about to say something else when Liu Shiliang pulled her away.

Liu Shiliang, ignoring the pain in his foot, left faster than a rabbit.

Xia Yuting stepped forward. “So it’s Director Xu. My cousin has been waiting for you for days. You’ve finally come.”

Even Wei Zhiming’s eyes shone.

This was one of his hopes for redemption.

Orders from above had already come down, and he had received severe punishment, causing him much worry these days.

However, he had already tied himself to Xia Yuting.

As long as Feng Cuihua cared about Xia Yuting, he had hope.

“Yes, Director Xu, please sit.” Feng Cuihua grinned, then gasped in pain a second later.

Her face was contorted.

She had been beaten quite badly.

Xu Fucheng only had eyes for Su Anan, and perfunctorily nodded to Feng Cuihua. “I’m here to discuss the wedding date. Although I’m remarrying, and Anan is getting married for the first time, I can’t mistreat her. The wedding will be held at the state-run hotel, with a dowry of two thousand yuan, and all the necessary items will be prepared.”

He was speaking unilaterally.

In his opinion, the Su family wouldn’t dare to object to what he proposed.

This wasn’t a discussion, it was a notification. Feng Cuihua’s eyes were full of light, and she couldn’t stop smiling. “Good, good. Whatever Director Xu arranges is fine.”

If she could get this connection, her life would be better.

Otherwise, after today’s incident, she wouldn’t be able to live in the family compound.

“Director Xu’s arrangements are excellent.” Xia Yuting smiled beside her. Looking at Xu Fucheng’s somewhat aged appearance, she thought that Su Anan would only have to serve such an old man in the future, and couldn’t help but feel happy, her eyes shining.

She just couldn’t stand Su Anan.

Su Anan looked at the few people and smiled. “The wedding date has been set. Mom, are you planning to let my cousin marry him? If Wei Zhiming is willing, it’s fine too.”

Wei Zhiming, who was named, glared at her. “Yuting is going to marry me.”

Looking at the gentle Su Anan, he felt a hint of reluctance.

Su Anan was the most beautiful.

Every move she made was full of charm.

She was just too weak and timid, only knowing how to cry.

Too much crying was annoying.

Xu Fucheng also looked at Su Anan, with an air of authority.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t control a little girl.

“But I’m already married,” Su Anan said innocently. “Director Xu can only propose to my cousin.”

“You’re married?” Everyone stared at her.

Feng Cuihua raised her voice even higher.

Her voice was cracking.

Only Xu Fucheng remained calm, sizing up Su Anan.

He could see that Su Anan was weak, but not timid.

Because when he looked at her, Su Anan’s expression didn’t change at all; she was very calm and composed.

This really surprised him.

Su Anan nodded seriously. “Yes, I’m already married.”

A bombshell.

“To whom?” Feng Cuihua didn’t believe her. “You don’t have a household registration, how could you get married?”

“I do,” Su Anan said with a smile. “And I’ve already moved my household registration out of the family.”

Lu Jingchen had taken care of everything.

He was very thoughtful.

It was because Lu Jingchen had seen her situation in the Su family.

Xu Fucheng clenched his fist, looking at Feng Cuihua. “You guaranteed to me that you would marry your daughter to me, otherwise, Su Dajun wouldn’t be spared. Now, are you trying to raise the price?”

In his opinion, Su Anan saying she was already married was a lie.

The Su family wanting to negotiate terms was the truth.

Therefore, he mentioned Su Dajun.

“Director Xu, don’t worry, we won’t. Everything will be as agreed. This girl isn’t married at all. Her boyfriend is… Zhiming, Zhiming doesn’t want her anymore. She works at the factory every day and doesn’t know any other young men.” Feng Cuihua wouldn’t let go of this big fish.

She didn’t know what had happened to Su Anan’s parents; they hadn’t come to pick her up for so many years.

She had raised Su Anan for so many years, so Su Anan had to make some contribution.

She had to get this benefit today.

Wei Zhiming quickly chimed in. “Director Xu, don’t worry. Yuting and I were just dating, and I didn’t even touch her. I like Yuting more.”

Su Anan pursed her lips, looking at the two pairs of scumbags and scheming how to make them fall.

According to the original text, Xu Fucheng would become very arrogant later on.

It wouldn’t be easy to bring him down.

At this moment, a horn sounded outside the door.

A military vehicle stopped outside the Su family’s gate.
