Huo Xuan didn’t expect the villagers to treat him this way. He rubbed his glabella and replied awkwardly, “That’s not the case. Everyone, listen to me…”
Before Huo Xuan could finish, the woman frowned and reprimanded him, “I also heard that the person your family wanted to marry wasn’t our Xiao Zhu. It was Xiao Zhu’s mother who insisted on pushing her over. With this, can you still treat Xiao Zhu sincerely? I don’t believe it!”
Upon hearing the woman’s words, the villagers who were standing behind the village chief and holding weapons started muttering unhappily.
“Auntie Chen is right. Mo Zhu has played with us since we were young. How can a pure and kind girl like her be able to win young masters and ladies like you from rich families who are scheming against each other every day? We might as well let her be free and do whatever she wants with us!”
“If you can’t treat Mo Zhu well wholeheartedly, say it as soon as possible. Don’t delay the next half of Xiao Zhu’s life. Let her stay in Qingyuan Village in peace and we can do our best to help her find a good man to live the rest of her life with.”
The few people present were confused by the villagers’ chattering. Xu Huan and Mo Wu also looked at each other in embarrassment. They had traveled extensively with Huo Xuan and had seen a lot of the world, but now that they were faced with such chatterboxes, they were really at a loss.
When Poppy, who was standing at the side and rubbing her gun pocket quietly, saw the chaotic scene in front of her, she also followed the crowd’s gaze and looked at Huo Xuan who was standing beside her. A hint of deep meaning flashed across her eyes. So Almighty K’s fiancé was actually the young master of the Huo family? Interesting, interesting!
At this moment, Huo Xuan was also a little anxious. He calmed his heart and pondered quietly for a minute. He raised his head and looked seriously at the village chief and the people who had spoken just now. He lowered his posture and said sincerely, “I know that everyone really loves Mo Zhu. I promise everyone here that I will definitely fulfill my promise just now. If I go back on my words even a little, you can come to Cloud City to reprimand me anytime. I’ll apologize to everyone one by one!”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she turned to look at the man and smiled lightly as she said to the village chief, “Village Chief, I believe he will treat me well. I have something else to do today, so I won’t stay for dinner with all of you. When I return next time, I will definitely visit everyone personally.”
Since the girl had already said so, it was not good for the village chief to continue persuading her. He gently touched the ends of Mo Zhu’s hair and nodded helplessly. “Alright, more careful along the way then. If you have any problems, hurry back to the village. We’re here if you need anything!”
“Alright!” Mo Zhu understood the village chief’s intentions and agreed immediately.
After bidding farewell to the villagers, Mo Zhu and the others got into the car and rushed back to Cloud City.
Along the way, Mo Wu and Xu Huan were still in charge of taking turns to drive. The car drove at high speed on the highway to Cloud City. Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the first fork in the road where they had to pay fees, Poppy, who had been sitting quietly in the back seat, said coldly, “Stop the car, I’ll get off here.”
Mo Zhu turned to look at Poppy in surprise and asked curiously, “You’re getting off here?”
Poppy nimbly carried her backpack. After bringing her belongings with her, she explained as she pulled open the car door, “Yes, I have something else to deal with. I’ll get off right here.”
After saying this, she looked up and smiled at Mo Zhu, “Call me if you need anything. It’s not peaceful anywhere now. You have to be careful!”
Just as Poppy was about to close the car door, Huo Xuan gently raised his hand and pressed it against the car door. “Just as you’ve said, it’s very chaotic outside now. Ms.. Yang, why don’t you leave with us? I’ll get my subordinates to send you there to do whatever you need so we can make sure you’re safe.”
