【Law of the Abyss】
Chapter 67 Engagement
Lei Yiming was so annoyed by him that he made his position clear.
"Huo Die agrees, and I have no objection. After all, marriage is her own business, and she should make the decision herself."
Huo Changjin gave him a meaningful look.
"She is too young to understand that someone she likes may not be suitable for her. Marriage is not love. It is good for two people to stay together until the end. You should understand this very well."
He glanced at Lei Yiming and Feng Yelan, and then said, "An elder brother is like a father. You should think long-term for her. With her personality, if she marries into another family and deals with her parents-in-law and aunts-in-law, there will inevitably be friction."
When Mu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that Huo Changjin really knew how to talk. Looking at Lei Yiming's expression, he had gone from being firm at the beginning to being a little wavering now.
Seeing this, Huo Changjin immediately added, "It's different if she marries me. I don't have any brothers or sisters. My parents died in an accident when I was young. I was raised by only a grandfather. If she marries me, she won't have to deal with her parents-in-law or sisters-in-law at all."
Lei Yiming looked at Feng Yelan beside him, asking for her advice.
Feng Yelan neither shook his head nor nodded, just looked at him so gently.
"Besides, you also know that the Huo family will definitely be managed by me in the future. If she marries me, her status and position will naturally be honored. I will also treat her well and will never take a concubine."
Hearing this, Lei Yiming's expression completely relaxed.
Mu Bei really wanted to remind someone that it is impossible for a woman to be happy if she marries a man she dislikes or even strongly rejects.
No matter how good the man is and how good he treats her, she will choose to ignore it and only feel that her marriage is unhappy. Over time, she will even transfer this hatred to the person who made the decision for her in the first place.
Thinking of this, Mu Bei still gave a reminder.
"Brother Lei, do you think Huodie is a woman who lets others manipulate her and likes to have her fate decided by others?"
This remark hit Lei Yiming like a slap in the face. Yes, he had forgotten what kind of woman Lei Huodie was? She dared to pretend to be someone else just for the person she loved in order to have a chance for them to be together.
Would such a proactive and bold girl be willing to marry someone she has clearly expressed her rejection of just because of her own decision?
Even if I agree now, if she runs away from the marriage or does something even more extreme in the future, how will the two families end up?
Thinking of this, he instantly became sober and regained his sanity.
"Feel sorry……"
Huo Changjin glanced at Mu Bei. The young man in front of him was silent, but just a simple sentence made him fail. He was really not simple, and really hateful!
He smiled and said to Lei Yiming: "I have thought about all this. Give me some time, I believe she will change. You are the person she cares about most, she will listen to you, right?"
Lei Yiming looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Feng Yelan. Her expression was different. He felt a little melancholy in his heart. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
"Three years, give me three years, I promise everything will go the way you expect. You promise me, we'll get engaged and get married in three years."
"Husband?" Feng Yelan looked disapproving.
A calm smile appeared on Huo Changjin's lips.
"Master Lei, this is the purpose of my visit. To show my sincerity, I will give you this jade pendant as a token of my love. It is the only relic left by my mother. It has been with me for a long time. I am giving it to you now. Three years later, when I come to ask for your sister's hand in marriage, you will return it to me. Everyone present here will be a witness."
Mo Dazhuang couldn't help it, "Huo Changjin, do you think marriage is a business? Why do you force it to happen?"
Seeing that Lei Yiming was reluctant to take the jade pendant, he did not get angry and looked calm.
"If Huo Die still doesn't want to marry after three years, I will come and take the jade pendant myself, and our engagement will be over. I will never bother her again. But you can't let her marry someone else in these three years, okay?"
"This……"
It sounds so tempting. It's only three years. If Huodie doesn't like him, no one will force her. Besides, Huo Changjin is handsome, of the same age as Lei Huodie, and has a good family background. He is a rare candidate for marriage.
Thinking of this, Lei Yiming no longer hesitated and took the jade pendant in his hand.
"Okay, three years."
After that, he also took out a jade pendant and handed it to him, "Please keep this jade pendant as a token of trust. Return it to me in three years."
Huo Changjin took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. It was made of top-grade white jade, engraved with the Lei family's totem, and also contained a trace of the Lei family's unique spiritual energy.
He kept the jade pendant safely and finally got what he wanted. He looked at the people around him who were kept in the dark by him and felt a secret joy in his heart.
Leihuodie, this is just the beginning, just wait!
Lei Hudie learned from Lei Yinuo that Lei Yiming had agreed to Huo Changjin's request, and she was so angry that she went straight to find him.
Mu Bei had just come out and was about to talk to Feng Yelan about what she had promised before, when she was bumped into by the angry Lei Hudie.
"You don't have eyes, you can't see people!"
Mu Bei just felt confused. He looked at her angry face and shook his head unconsciously. Forget it, he would not bother with her.
"What are you looking at?"
Lei Huode glared at him fiercely and hurried to Lei Yiming's room.
Mu Bei faintly heard the quarrel between the two.
Lei Huodie asked loudly: "Brother, why did you agree to Huo Changjin's request? I told you that I don't want to marry him in this life."
"Huodie, don't be willful. Three years will pass quickly. If you don't want to, just reject him after three years and he won't bother you anymore."
Lei Huodie just found it unreasonable.
"Brother, I can refuse now, why should I wait until three years later?"
Lei Yiming was speechless. Yes, why must he wait three years to reject it?
"Huo Die, I'm doing this for your own good. He is the future Patriarch of the Huo Family. If you marry him, you will be the future Patriarch's wife of the Huo Family. No one will dare to bully you in the future."
Lei Huodie's voice choked: "Brother, you have changed. You have become like another person."
"No, you have never changed. I am too naive. Not everyone is like you, willing to exchange their marriage for something. You, the head of the Lei family, can do that, but I, Lei Huodie, absolutely cannot!"
Lei Yiming was hit in a sore spot and a trace of pain appeared on his face.
"Huodie, there are many things that are beyond our control."
"I was never forced to do anything. It was all your choice. Brother, let's not talk about it anymore."
Lei Hudie slammed the door and left, bumping into someone in her hurry. When she looked closely, she laughed out of anger.
"why is it you again?"
Mu Bei was also innocent. He was bumped by her twice, and before he said anything, she blackmailed him.
He didn't want to get entangled with her, so he raised his foot to leave, but she grabbed him.
"Don't leave!"
Lei Hudie was feeling bored and wanted to find someone to talk to. He ran into this person twice in a row, so he was the one.
Mu Bei looked at his hand pulling at the corner of his clothes and reminded him.
"Ms. Lei, it's not good for you to hold me like this. After all, you are engaged. If someone sees you..."
"Bullshit! I can do whatever I want. What does it matter if someone sees me?"
Mu Bei had a headache. Yes, you are the eldest daughter of the Lei family, and people dare not do anything to you? But I am not like that. I don't want to provoke anyone again.
Mu Bei forcefully released her hand and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Lei Huodie suddenly felt wronged and cried out: "You bully me!"
