Chapter 761 This Marriage Doesn’t Count
"Girl, your pastry has fallen off."
Lu Yiner was called out loudly from behind, and she instantly came to her senses. She found that the oil paper bag containing the pastries in her hand was empty.
All the cakes fell to the ground.
"What a pity for this pastry. It's all dirty and you can't eat it even if you pick it up."
The man who reminded Lu Yiner that the pastry had fallen came to Lu Yiner with a look of pity on his face.
Lu Yiner calmed herself down and forced a smile, saying, "If it falls off, it falls off."
This man is Gao Ming, Su Chengmin's subordinate. Today, Mu Xiu came to Taohua Dessert to buy cakes for his mother and happened to meet Lu Yiner.
During this period, Lu Yiner would come to the Imperial Guards from time to time to block Su Chengmin, and he was very familiar with Lu Yiner.
Su Chengmin was obviously avoiding her, but the girl still came to block him. Every time he saw her, he would privately sigh and wonder why such a good girl would hang herself on a tree and do something that would make people look down on her.
Now that his family is engaged, this girl should give up.
Lu Yiner's face was pale and her body was shaking.
Gao Ming asked, "Miss Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Yiner recognized the person in front of her as the subordinate who had persuaded her to leave every time she went to see Su Chengmin, and couldn't help asking, "Is my cousin really engaged to Gu Taohua?"
Gao Ming nodded and said, "How could it be false?"
Lu Yiner bit her lips and her eyes were red.
Gao Ming advised: "Miss Lu, a forced melon is not sweet, so don't think about my master."
After hearing this, Lu Yiner wiped her tears and hurried away.
Gao Ming shook his head and went into Taohua Dessert, where he happened to meet Gu Taohua who was patrolling the store.
Gu Taohua knows Gao Ming.
When her Taohua Dessert opened, Gao Ming was one of the first customers.
When Gao Ming saw Gu Taohua, he congratulated her on her engagement with his master.
"Sister Taohua, you don't know how popular my master is. His stepmother's niece has been blocking my master every day for a few days, but my master ignored her. I just saw her coming out of your shop, she looked so lost, maybe she was shocked by the news of your engagement."
Gao Ming felt that he told Gu Taohua about this matter in order to prevent his master from being misunderstood.
At the same time, remind Gu Taohua to prevent Lu Yiner from doing bad things.
Gu Taohua didn't take Lu Yin'er seriously and said, "Just block it. If your master is determined, no one can stop him."
Gao Ming said, "Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy. She might plot against Lord Su."
Gu Taohua said: "How can he be the leader of the Imperial Guard if he can be schemed against by a woman?"
Gao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I've told you the news, so give me two more kilograms of cakes."
Gu Taohua laughed and scolded: "You have a lot of monthly salary, but you still want to take advantage of this. I don't know why you save your money."
Gao Ming said seriously: "To get married."
Speaking of getting married, Gao Ming sighed.
His father was a soldier who raised war horses under the command of a mighty general. He died on the border when he was a child.
Under the care of the mighty general, he learned martial arts with Su Chengmin since he was a child. Due to his limited talent, he was loyal but could not show his abilities on the battlefield. He was transferred to the Imperial Guards because of his meritorious service in this border war thanks to Nie Xiaofeng.
Su Chengmin became the leader of the Imperial Guard, and he was assigned to work under Su Chengmin.
Gao Ming's old mother is in poor health, and the medical expenses are high every month. In addition, he has to support his grandparents in the countryside from time to time.
Therefore, although Gao Ming received a considerable monthly salary, he did not live a comfortable life. The matchmaker had introduced him to several girls but nothing came of it.
The daughters of wealthy families looked down on him, and the girls from humble families did not want to date a military man for fear that the war would break out again and their husbands would be sent to the battlefield and they would be left alone to guard their homes.
Gu Taohua knew Gao Ming's family situation, so she asked the waiter to pack several kinds of snacks and handed them to him, asking him to give them to his mother.
Gao Ming accepted the snacks and said to Gu Taohua, "Sister Taohua, there are many girls working as waiters at your Taohua Dessert and Jufulai. Is there anyone who would not mind me and would like to introduce me to a wife?"
Gu Taohua rolled her eyes at Gao Ming and said, "I'm not a matchmaker. If you like someone, go chase her yourself."
Gao Ming thought to himself, I am not as capable as Commander Su.
"Sister Taohua, the commander-in-chief is here. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving."
When Gao Ming saw Su Chengmin coming, he ran away with the cakes in his hand.
Su Chengmin had just finished arguing with his father Su Shihang.
He thought Su Shihang was crazy and asked him to break off the engagement with Gu Taohua right away.
After making his father angry and leaving, he was worried that Su Shihang would go to Taohua Dessert to cause trouble for Gu Taohua, so he took a shortcut to Taohua Dessert to find Gu Taohua.
Su Shihang was indeed so angry at Su Chengmin that his head hurt.
No matter how he analyzed the pros and cons, Su Chengmin remained unmoved and was determined to marry Gu Taohua.
He hated the old lady of the Min family and Min Hanniu so much that not only did they not stop him, but they also followed suit and went to the Jun family in Suifeng Township to propose marriage in person.
No matter how much Su Shihang hated the Min family, he didn't dare to cause trouble for them. He didn't even need his brother-in-law to step in. His mother-in-law could block the Su family's door and scold them for three days without repeating herself.
After much thought, he decided to start with Gu Taohua.
As long as Gu Taohua takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, Su Chengmin's marriage will not be possible.
Su Shihang came to Taohua Dessert, and before he even entered the shop, he saw his son and Gu Taohua busy in the shop.
My God, his son, a leader of the Royal Guards, was actually standing behind the counter helping customers wrap cakes. Su Shihang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
His son arrived at Taohua Dessert before him, because he was on guard against him looking for Gu Taohua.
Su Shihang went to Tong Huaqiong with a gloomy face.
When Tong Huaqiong received the news that Lord Su was coming, she thought she had heard it wrongly, because she and Su Shihang had never had any intersection.
After thinking it over carefully, I realized that Su Chengmin had bypassed the Su family to get engaged to Gu Taohua. Now Su Shihang knew about it and came to ask for an explanation.
However, Tong Huaqiong was not afraid of Su Shihang. She tidied herself up and invited him in.
"Lord Su, what brings you to my house?" Su Shihang held the tea without taking a sip. Tong Huaqiong ignored Lord Su's gloomy face and took the initiative to speak.
Su Shihang put the teacup on the table and said, "Mr. Suifeng, honest people don't speak in secret. As the saying goes, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by parents and matchmakers. My son and your daughter have been engaged in private without the consent of their parents, so this marriage is not counted."
Tong Huaqiong was so angry that she almost laughed.
Su Shihang is so shameless to come here to unilaterally notify the cancellation of the engagement.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Lord Su originally came for the marriage of Chengmin and Taohua. The marriage between the two has been decided, and it is not up to you to decide. It is not important whether you agree or not. If your opinion is important, why doesn't your son let you make the decision? How come you don't know how to be a father? Old Madam Min is right. Apart from shivering a few times, you have not contributed at all to being a father, so don't come to me and talk about your parents' orders."
Su Shihang: “…”
He was really careless in coming there rashly.
Suifeng Xiangjun was indeed from the countryside. She had the same shrewish nature as his mother-in-law and spoke in the same vulgar and unpleasant manner.
