Chapter 471: Chapter 470: The Two Forced into Marriage
Following the bride and groom to offer toasts, they soon arrived at the table with Lin Family members, including Lin Mubai’s parents and a group of people from Lan Family.
Lan Yiqing slapped her son’s shoulder: "You little brat, good job, you really have your mom’s style back in the day."
Lin Mubai’s lips twitched slightly, his narrow gaze falling on the face that resembled his own: "Dad, what does mom mean? Did she force you into marriage back then?"
Ha ha, ha ha...
A whole table of people, some laughing, some spitting out their drinks, and some with a stifled laugh on their faces, clearly trying hard to hold back.
Lan Yiqing’s face immediately turned red, and she slapped Lin Mubai’s head without mercy, having to stand on tiptoes because her son was so tall: "Damn brat, how do you speak?"
"Just telling the truth." Lin Mubai shrugged indifferently.
These were words he heard growing up, and she often boasted about them. Why wouldn’t she let him say it now? Lin Mubai shrugged, feeling his mom was overly domineering.
His gaze continued to fall on his dad’s face, but before he could speak, he was scolded: "Mu Bai, shut up." This bastard son really knows how to dismantle support. Even if all this was true, is it something to be talked about?
Seeing the displeased faces of both, Lin Mubai felt a sense of satisfaction knowing his plan was successful, his eyes flashing with smugness.
They say a mother knows her son best, and as Lan Yiqing calmed down, she immediately noticed her son’s little scheme and countered: "Mu Bai, now that you’ve proposed, when’s the wedding?"
Once married, she can have a granddaughter, just thinking about it is exciting.
As Lan Yiqing’s words fell, voices of agreement came from behind: "Yes Mu Bai, hurry up and get married, you’re not getting any younger." The usually stable eldest of Lan Family looked elated.
Lin Mubai was tempted to say: "Uncle, your daughter seems older than me, if I’m not young, then what is Lan Xinxixi? An old monster?"
The second brother of Lan Family quickly followed his elder brother’s voice and said: "Mu Bai, both Lan and Lin Families are counting on you, so hurry up and get married and give us old folks a grandchild to hold."
That’s typical of someone in authority, speaking in such a formal tone.
Lin Mubai couldn’t help but want to retort again: "It seems like Lan Luo is the rightful eldest of Lan Family anyway, what’s it got to do with him."
After that, the tactics to force marriage came one after another, each more varied than the last. It was overwhelming.
And Lin Mubai didn’t dare to push this onto the woman by his side directly. He worried that if pushed too hard today, he wouldn’t be able to find her tomorrow. All he could do was agree one by one.
"Yes, I’ll consider getting married soon."
"Alright, I won’t disappoint uncle."
"Okay okay, rest assured, second uncle."
...
In short, the answers remained vague.
It seemed the pressure to marry was contagious. After leaving Lin Family and Lan Family’s table, everyone they encountered would ask: "You look great together, when’s the wedding?"
An Nan, at this moment, really felt the urge to run away, her smile was already as stiff as could be.
What kind of situation is this?!
She was just the bridesmaid, how did it turn into her being pressured to marry?
