Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

However, it's not impossible for Qiao Ting; at least he's connected with the Qiao family.

He was kicked out by Qiao Fang, and on the surface he was full of apologies, saying that he did not do it on purpose and that he would definitely take responsibility.

Two days later, the Zhou family head brought Zhou Sihan to the Qiao family's door to discuss the marriage of the two families' children.

The news had already spread, and Qiao Ting would never find a good family to marry into.

To put it bluntly, a girl from a respectable family wouldn't be with him, and a man from a respectable family wouldn't want someone who's been seen by so many people, out of pride.

Qiao Ting had no choice but to leave the Zhou family.

Upon learning that she was to marry Zhou Sihan, Qiao Ting buried her face in Mrs. Qiao's arms and nearly cried herself to death.

"Waaaaah, Mom, I like Akahoshi, I don't like Zhou Sihan..."

Seeing him so upset, Mrs. Qiao also cried, "What can we do? You and he are already like that."

What she couldn't bring herself to say was, "How could the Chi family accept someone like you?"

"I don't care, Mom, it must be Qiao Yu'an who did this to me, it's him, he's the one who did this to me..."

This time, Qiao Ting really cried, and his expression was extremely ferocious. He hated Qiao Yu'an to death.

He clearly intended that glass of wine for Qiao Yu'an, so how did it become something he drank himself?

Qiao Ting couldn't understand it, and the whole thing that happened that day had been broadcast live. Qiao Ting felt too ashamed to face anyone.

Zhou Sihan, however, showed no shame whatsoever and immediately offered to take responsibility. Qiao Fang, who valued face and interests above all else, now found Qiao Ting to be of no value.

The only solution is to cut your losses and marry him off to the Zhou family; at least that way you can save some face.

Marrying into the Zhou family, a fallen clan, wouldn't bring any benefits. Right now, Qiao Fang just wants to quell the rumors circulating outside.

If Qiao Ting had married Zhou Sihan, perhaps the rumors wouldn't have been so nasty.

With that in mind, Qiao Fang immediately agreed to the marriage.

Suddenly, Qiao Ting rushed downstairs, grabbed Zhou Sihan on the sofa, and started slapping him.

"Who would want to marry you? You shameless slut!!"

Zhou Sihan was caught off guard and pushed onto the sofa, receiving several slaps from Qiao Ting on the face. He instinctively wanted to hit back.

Upon seeing Qiao Fang, and remembering the purpose of her visit, she did not retaliate and let Qiao Ting hit her.

Qiao Fang grabbed Qiao Ting's arm, pulled him away, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

He looked at Mrs. Qiao, who was following him downstairs, with a puzzled expression.

"Everything's fine, what's wrong with you all?"

Qiao Fang already felt incredibly embarrassed, and now Qiao Ting dared to cause trouble. He wanted nothing more than to slap him twice.

As expected, they're not my biological child; no matter how I raise them, it's useless.

Qiao Ting was held back and couldn't hit anyone. Hearing Qiao Fang say such things about him, tears streamed down his face. His voice was hoarse from crying, but he still shouted:

"He ruined my life. I can't marry him, Dad. Please don't agree. I don't like him!"

Zhou Sihan lowered his head after being beaten, and no one saw the ferocity in his eyes. He quickly changed his expression, his eyes filled with sadness.

"Tingting, we went on a date before. That day, you were the one who took the initiative. Why are you backing out now? Don't be angry, okay? What did I do wrong? Tell me, and I'll change. Don't be stubborn now, okay?"

When Qiao Ting heard him say these words, her face was filled with disbelief and hatred.

"Who's making a fuss? I don't like you at all. You're the one who's bothering me. You must have drugged me that day, otherwise why would I..."

As Qiao Ting spoke, he started crying again. When he remembered that Chi Xing had also seen the live broadcast, he felt an urge to tear Zhou Sihan to pieces.

This originally belonged to Qiao Yu'an. It must have been Qiao Yu'an who collaborated with Zhou Sihan first; they were the ones who ruined him.

The more Qiao Ting thought about it, the more convinced she became that this was the case. Despite her despair, she didn't forget to curse Qiao Yu'an.

"Enough! Aren't you ashamed? Qiao Ting, either marry into the Zhou family, or I'll have someone send you back to the grasslands tomorrow. You choose."

Qiao Fang just wanted to resolve this problem quickly.

A few days ago, the location of Qiao Ting's biological parents was found. As agreed, Mrs. Qiao gave the family ten million, and they stopped looking for Qiao Ting.

But it's not impossible for them to send Jodin back.

Upon hearing that she was to be sent back to the rural grasslands, Qiao Ting immediately became obedient and could only cry, "Can't I just marry him? Please don't send me back, boohoo..."

Asking him to go back to Qiao Yu'an's former home would be worse than just killing him.

That's the countryside. People herd cattle and sheep every day, exposed to the wind and sun, and they don't earn much money. The place is so remote that you can't even find it.

Most importantly, he has always been ashamed of this, looking down on where Qiao Yu'an came from, so how could he possibly live there?

Mrs. Qiao wanted to speak up for him several times, but seeing Qiao Fang's angry eyes, she didn't dare to say anything.

The matter was settled, and a few days later, the engagement banquet between the Qiao and Zhou families was held.

People in the elite circles had long anticipated this outcome; it would be very difficult for them to end things if they didn't get married.

Qiao Yu'an also attended the engagement banquet. She missed the excitement last time, but this time she wanted to see it up close.

He and Akahoshi were sitting in the guest seats when they heard people whispering among themselves.

"I've never seen such a hasty engagement party before, it's really..."

"There was supposed to be an engagement party, but things have turned out like this. I thought we were going to get married right away."

"That's right. Mrs. Qiao used to be so arrogant, but now look at her like that, tsk tsk tsk."

Qiao Yu'an glanced quietly toward Madam Qiao.

All that could be seen was Mrs. Qiao holding Qiao Ting and crying; one might mistake her for someone whose son had married far away.

Meanwhile, the Zhou family at another table muttered to themselves:

"Didn't this happen to Joting of his own volition? Why is he crying like someone forced him?"

"I don't know. I just didn't expect Zhou Sihan to have such abilities. I wonder if he will help the Zhou family in the future."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the engagement banquet began.

The two exchanged engagement rings on stage. Qiao Ting could see Qiao Yu'an and Chi Xing sitting in the middle when she looked down. Chi Xing gently served food to Qiao Yu'an and wiped his hands with a napkin.

The scene was so heartwarming that it brought tears to Qiao Ting's eyes, and she burst into tears of resentment.

The Zhou family members in the audience immediately applauded, while others assumed that the two had finally gotten together after a long and difficult time.

Even Qiao Ting was moved to tears.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Qiao Ting got engaged to Zhou Sihan, whom she hated the most.

Qiao Yu'an was in a great mood and even ate an extra half bowl of rice.

"Happy?" Chi Xing asked with a smile as he placed some meat into Qiao Yu'an's bowl.

Qiao Yu'an ate the delicious meat and happily shook his head: "I'm very happy."

Then she leaned close to Akahoshi and whispered, "I'm happy to see him suffer."

"Oh right, did I forget to tell you something?" Qiao Yu'an suddenly asked.
