“Isn’t that so? Even if the Su family had some disagreements with them previously, he can’t exclude his own brother from this joyous occasion. After Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo passed away, it was his older brother who raised them. Now that he’s grown up, he turned hostile. How disappointing.”
These gossipers almost pointed at Huo Chenhuan and called him an ingrate.
“Come to think of it, Miss Su is really funny. She was just rejected by Young Master Huo, and now she’s engaged to Young Master Huo. What do you think she wants?”
“Isn’t it all for the sake of revenge? Don’t you guys know that Young Master Huo broke off the engagement because he had a girlfriend outside? She found her true love, and her family background is much better than the Su family. Don’t tell me she’s going to swallow her pride and get together with a girl she doesn’t like?”
When someone heard this, he frowned in discomfort. “There’s a marriage arrangement after all. Since Young Master Huo doesn’t like her, he should have broken off the engagement earlier and found someone else. He went behind the marriage arrangement and broke off the engagement in front of so many people. No matter what…”
Before the man could finish, a plump, middle-aged woman with jewelry all over her body interrupted her. She said with disdain, “That’s because she’s useless. She can’t even watch over her own man. She deserves to be annulled.”
The moment she said that, the ladies who had a better upbringing frowned and subconsciously took a few steps back to distance themselves from them.
Some people wanted to drag others into the manure pit with them, but they were not that stupid.
These people did not know that they had been isolated and were still happily mocking their marriage.
“If you ask me, this Miss Su is really stupid. She married herself to a cripple just for the sake of her pride. I’m afraid she won’t be able to stand out for the rest of her life.”
“Don’t say that. No matter what, Uncle Huo is still a member of the Huo family. If he doesn’t have any assets on hand, who knows how much money he would have to spend on this island? Normal people wouldn’t be able to earn so much in their entire lives. The Su family isn’t some rich family with high social status. After she dies, she can inherit her assets and marry a man. Isn’t that a way out?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“This island is pretty, but who knows if Uncle Huo rented it to save face? Also, I heard that even though Uncle Huo looks like a decent person, he’s not a good person in private. But that’s true. He can’t even stand up, so it’s inevitable that he’s a little twisted.”
“This Miss Su probably won’t have a good life even if she marries him. She pretends to be nice on the surface, but who knows how badly she’ll be abused in private. It’s her own fault for being stupid. She could have married anyone else but this useless person. Her family didn’t even stop her. They’re really greedy for money. Marrying their daughter to such a person for a few cents is no different from selling their daughter.”
Just as the man finished, a cold female voice came from behind him. “I don’t know if my child is dumb or not, but some people who like to gossip behind others’ backs are definitely not smart.”
The person who spoke lowered his voice. He thought that only the people around him could hear him, but it was suddenly pointed out.
He immediately became nervous. “Who… who eavesdropped on me?”
Just as he said that, there was a sudden pain in his leg, and his whole body swayed. He fell to the ground with a loud thud.
