Chapter 369: Wife, I’m Not Late
Wei Qingxue pointed at Lin Fan, claiming she was married to him.
But to everyone's eyes, Lin Fan was just a passing delivery guy.
"Qingxue, do you know what you're saying? You're married to this delivery man?" Li Xueyan said sweaty, clearly disbelieving Wei Qingxue and thinking Wei Qingxue was lying.
"Little Sister Qingxue, even if you don't want to marry me, find a more reliable excuse. You randomly point at a delivery guy and call him your husband?" Ma Jialiang laughed angrily.
The Wei Family members all snickered. Naturally, none of them believed it, thinking Wei Qingxue was too ridiculous.
"Doesn't Wei Qingxue have something wrong with her brain?"
"Does she think we'll believe she married a delivery guy?"
"Does she really not want to marry Young Master Ma?"
Ma Yunde sneered, "Niece Qingxue, what's really going on? If you won't marry Jia Liang, just say so rather than using such a poor excuse, embarrassing us all."
Elder Wei was livid, feeling so ashamed that Wei Qingxue behaved so disrespectfully in front of Ma Family members!
He had forcefully made Wei Qingxue the Company's CEO against opposition, and she was once his pride, but now he's extremely disappointed in her.
The triangular eyes of Wei Tang saw this and immediately stirred trouble: "Grandfather, Wei Qingxue's actions make one wonder about her intentions. I reckon she doesn't want to work anymore."
Wei Qingxue said coldly, "Wei Tang, stop stirring trouble here. I'll explain myself to Grandfather. Do I need you to butt in?"
Wei Tang chuckled, "Go ahead and talk. I want to see what you're up to."
Wei Qingxue said, "I'm not lying to you. I didn't randomly point to someone to lie. I invited him here—he's my husband. Lin Fan, over here!"
Wei Qingxue waved to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan parked his bike at the time, saw Wei Qingxue wave, and walked over.
"Dear Wife, I'm here, right at ten o'clock, not late." Lin Fan said with a smile as he walked to Wei Qingxue.
Everyone froze.
This delivery guy actually knew Wei Qingxue and called her "Dear Wife" right away?
Wei Qingxue heard Lin Fan call her that, also feeling embarrassed. Although she was married to Lin Fan, they had no feelings for each other, and this was the first time she heard this address.
"Lin Fan, come over here. Tell everyone we're married." Wei Qingxue said.
Lin Fan knew today's task was to be Wei Qingxue's shield.
Lin Fan tried his best to be a dutiful shield, glanced at everyone, and smiled: "Hello everyone, I am Qingxue's husband, my name is Lin Fan."
Everyone exchanged confused looks—what the heck? Wei Qingxue really got married to a delivery guy?
"No, this can't be true!" Li Xueyan couldn't help but cry out.
If this was true, it would be a huge shock she couldn't accept. Based on "mother by her daughter," Wei Qingxue being the Company's CEO also raised her status in the Wei Family.
If Wei Qingxue openly opposed the familial marriage, it was undoubtedly a challenge to Elder Wei. It was uncertain if she could keep the CEO position.
Li Xueyan couldn't accept this as true, nor did she believe it was true.
Similarly disbelieving was Ma Jialiang: "Impossible, Little Sister Qingxue, how could you marry a delivery man?"
Lin Fan corrected him, "Sorry, it's delivery. I don't deliver food anymore."
Ma Jialiang glanced at Lin Fan, not even bothering to talk to him, and said, "Little Sister Qingxue, even if you're lying, find a reliable one. You picked a random smelly delivery... messengering person, it's clearly fake!"
Elder Wei knocked his cane: "Enough, Qingxue, you are simply making a fuss! Stop this nonsense, even joking should have limits, how rude in front of Uncle Ma!"
Elder Wei, with wisdom from countless experiences, didn't believe Wei Qingxue truly married a delivery guy, likely she found someone to cope temporarily, but Elder Wei's words suggested Qin Xue was joking, trying to downplay the situation without offending Ma Yunde.
He only hoped Wei Qingxue would come to her senses, taking the way out.
Seeing everyone still disbelieving her marriage to Lin Fan, Wei Qingxue couldn't be bothered to say more.
She instantly took the marriage certificate from her bag and said, "I'm not lying. Here is our marriage certificate."
Oh god, there's even a marriage certificate!
Elder Wei took the marriage certificate, verified it, and threw it on the ground shaking with anger: "Nonsense, absurd, Wei Qingxue, you are simply absurd!"
It seemed the marriage certificate was real.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oh! I'm fainting." Li Xueyan's vision went black, nearly passed out, luckily someone beside her caught her.
Ma Jialiang was flabbergasted: "Married, really married?"
Lin Fan quickly stepped forward, bent over to pick up the marriage certificate, smiled, and said, "Such a precious thing as a marriage certificate shouldn't be thrown around, it's bad if it gets dirty."
Then Lin Fan returned the marriage certificate to Wei Qingxue.
Wei Qingxue said, "Everyone should believe me now. I am married to Lin Fan, already a married woman, so I can't marry anyone else. Grandfather, if our Wei Family really wants a marriage alliance with the Ma Family, perhaps consider others in the clan. I must take my leave now, Lin Fan, let's go."
Elder Wei was a man experienced with big scenes.
He knew well that once Wei Qingxue left today, the marital alliance with the Ma Family would essentially be over.
Even if Wei Qingxue was truly married, she couldn't be allowed to leave.
"Hold on!"
Elder Wei quickly composed himself and stopped Wei Qingxue.
Wei Qingxue had to pause.
Elder Wei then turned to Ma Yunde, smiling apologetically: "Dear nephew, today is really too rude, but I hope for my sake, dear nephew, don't be upset yet, whatever it is we can discuss inside, can we?"
Ma Yunde was indeed angry; Wei Qingxue was simply absurd, not only losing face for the Wei Family but also for Ma Yunde.
But considering Elder Wei's face, he temporarily didn't want to turn harsh: "Fine, let's talk inside."
Elder Wei laughed: "Great, dear nephew, please. Qingxue, you come in too."
Having exposed her relationship with Lin Fan, Wei Qingxue had nothing left to fear. She bit her lip and said, "Alright."
Thus everyone gradually entered the hotel.
Ma Jialiang approached Wei Qingxue.
"Little Sister Qingxue, though you're married, I won't give up on you. I've prepared a gift for you today—get ready to be surprised." Ma Jialiang said with a smile.
This fellow adjusted quickly, already accepting Wei Qingxue's marriage as reality.
Wei Qingxue coldly replied with an "oh," without speaking more.
Seeing him openly wooing Wei Qingxue in front of him as if Lin Fan didn't exist, Lin Fan chuckled quietly.
"You're Young Master Ma, right? What gift did you prepare for my wife? Can I see?" Lin Fan said with a chuckle.
Ma Jialiang sneered: "What's it got to do with you?"
Lin Fan said, "Of course it matters, she's my wife."
