Keeping the promise

Portraits of family members from past generations are hung on the walls of the hall, and their eyes seem to be scrutinizing everyone who enters here.

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath as he looked at the scene, trying to calm his nervous mood, and walked in holding Li Yunting's arm.

As soon as they entered the door, the elders of the Li family looked Zheng Wancheng up and down with critical eyes.

Old Madam Li, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to attack. She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Zheng Wancheng sharply, and said slowly: "I heard that your family conditions are very ordinary. It's really not easy to enter our Li family."

Zheng Wancheng's heart tightened, but she kept smiling and answered respectfully: "Grandma, I know my family may not be prominent enough, but I will try my best to be a good person, and I will treat Yun Ting and the elders sincerely."

Uncle Li sneered and interrupted, "Humph, that sounds nice! Our Li family is a family of status and position that not everyone can cling to. Yun Ting is the pride of our Li family. What kind of help can you bring to him?"

Zheng Wancheng bit her lip lightly, looked at him firmly and said, "Third Uncle, although I don't have a strong family background, I will support and understand Yun Ting in life and give him warm comfort when he is tired. And I will continue to improve myself and try to keep up with his pace."

At this time, Li Yunting's aunt spoke in a gloomy tone: "Girls nowadays have many tricks. Yunting, don't be fooled by her appearance. Who knows if she is here for our money?"

Zheng Wancheng felt a surge of grievance in her heart, but she took a deep breath to keep herself calm, and responded neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Aunt, Yun Ting and I are truly in love. I value him as a person, not other external things. I have a job and can support myself, and I have never thought of relying on the Li family's wealth."

Li Yunting's face instantly turned gloomy as water. His sharp eyes flashed with anger as he stared closely at the elders who were making things difficult for Zheng Wancheng.

He pulled Zheng Wancheng behind him and protected her with his tall body, as if announcing to everyone that she was the one he wanted to protect.

His voice was low and powerful, and he said with unquestionable majesty: "Enough! No one is allowed to talk about her like this again!" Every word was so powerful that everyone present was shocked.

He glanced at the elders, his eyes full of determination and warning: "Wan Cheng is my wife, I will not allow anyone to accuse or embarrass her without reason! I have seen her kindness, sincerity and hard work, and her value cannot be denied by a few cold words from you!"

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became even colder: "I brought her back because she is a member of this family and deserves respect and acceptance. Instead of groundless accusations and making things difficult for her, if anyone is rude to Wan Cheng, don't blame me for not considering family affection."

After saying this, he exuded a strong aura, making people feel his determination and tough attitude to protect his wife. Li Yunting held Zheng Wancheng's hand tightly, giving her strength and comfort.

Zheng Wancheng looked at Li Yunting who stood up for her, and her heart was filled with emotion and warmth. She knew that at this moment, Li Yunting was like a towering mountain, firmly protecting her from the wind and rain.

Under Li Yunting's domineering protection, those elders were silent for a moment. They realized how deeply Li Yunting loved Zheng Wancheng, and they also knew that if they continued to make things difficult for them, it might cause Li Yunting to be even more dissatisfied.

The scene fell into a brief silence, and then, Old Master Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, coughed lightly, breaking the silence: "Alright, Yun Ting, they just want to know more about Wan Cheng. Since you protect her so much, we will naturally respect her in the future."

Seeing this, the other elders also echoed their approval. Li Yunting held Zheng Wancheng tightly behind him, his eyes shot at the elders like ice knives, and said in a cold tone: "Okay! We have seen the people, we will go back." His voice echoed in the huge room, with unquestionable domineering.

Old Master Li hesitated to speak, and watched Li Yunting take Zheng Wancheng's hand, then turned and left the living room.

Outside the house, Li Yunting instructed the servants to put away the gifts that Zheng Wancheng had carefully selected, and then drove away with Zheng Wancheng.

After leaving the main house, Zheng Wancheng looked out the window without saying a word. Li Yunting gently comforted her, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. I won't let this happen again in the future."

Zheng Wancheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you protected me like that just now, I don't feel wronged at all. I just feel sorry for you living in such a family environment and still being able to become such an outstanding person."

"Excellence also belongs to my wife." Li Yunting joked as he looked at Zheng Wancheng who was a little depressed.

"loquacious!"

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of love and trust...
