Chapter 38 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World
The next morning, Yan Nanfei got up early.
However, since the mountain was closed earlier, we prepared breakfast and delivered it to Huatuo.
During the daytime when the mountain is closed off, we need to relieve Linfeng, because night watch is very tiring and Linfeng needs to catch up on sleep.
After having breakfast, Yan Nanfei remembered the time Zhang Daya had mentioned yesterday and went there half an hour early.
"Auntie Daya, Qingfu, I'm here." Yan Nanfei was holding the pastries he had bought earlier. Although they had invited him and her, he couldn't come empty-handed.
"Sister Nanfei." Qingfu was much more timid today than she was yesterday.
"You child, you came all this way, why did you bring a gift?" Zhang Daya said with a smile and a scolding tone, but she was extremely gratified.
Seeing how sensible Yan Nanfei is now, she can feel at ease for Yan Nanfei's deceased parents.
Yan Nanfei laughed heartily: "It's just two boxes of pastries. Aunt Daya, you can't be polite with me. In my heart, you're like a second mother to me."
Zhang Daya was very happy after being coaxed by Yan Nanfei's sweet words.
Yan Nanfei had just sat down and taken a couple of sips of tea when a matchmaker outside said cheerfully, "Aunt Zhang, come out quickly, your future in-laws are here!"
Zhang Daya and Qingfu quickly got up, and Yan Nanfei followed suit, walking to the door to greet them.
But when Yan Nanfei saw who it was, his face suddenly darkened.
She actually knew this Miss Huang.
However, this Miss Huang is not the real Miss Huang the Third.
However, Yan Nanfei was in no hurry to expose them. She was afraid that there might be a misunderstanding, and if she spoke rashly, Zhang Daya might be branded as rude.
Zhang Daya welcomed them into the house and sat them down. The matchmaker then began to introduce them: "This is Madam Huang, and this is her daughter, Miss Huang the Third."
This Miss Huang was pretty.
But she was not the Miss Huang that Yan Nanfei knew.
When Qingfu saw Miss Huang, his face turned bright red with embarrassment.
Looking at her son's useless appearance, Zhang Daya scolded him a couple of times with a smile.
The matchmaker was very eloquent, and she made both families very happy.
Madam Huang wanted to choose a date for the betrothal ceremony, but Zhang Daya said there was no rush and they should discuss it later.
They had a meal at the Zhang family's house and stayed for about two hours before leaving.
During this time, Miss Huang and Qingfu exchanged glances, their bodies radiating the sweet and sour smell of love.
After the three of them left, Zhang Daya asked Yan Nanfei, "Nanfei, do you know that Miss Huang from earlier?"
Yan Nanfei lowered his gaze: "Auntie Daya, I know Miss Huang the Third. The person just now was not Miss Huang the Third, but Miss Huang the Third's second sister, Miss Huang the Second."
Zhang Daya never imagined this possibility!
Not only was she shocked, but Qingfu was shocked too!
"How could this be?" Qingfu was extremely agitated. "She wouldn't lie to me, she really is Miss Huang!"
Zhang Daya frowned as well: "Qingfu, calm down, listen to what your sister Nanfei has to say first."
Qingfu was unconvinced, but he still obeyed and kept quiet.
Yan Nanfei took a deep breath and continued, "This Miss Huang herself is just like me before. She's idle, loves gambling, and keeps gigolos. Three months ago, she seduced someone else's husband, but the other woman found out and gave her a severe beating. She's already crippled in both legs and can only lie in bed as a useless person now."
“I was there when she was beaten, and I saw it with my own eyes.”
Yan Nanfei's words made the usually calm Qingfu agitated again: "I don't believe it!"
He looked at Zhang Daya with pleading eyes: "Mother, you can't believe Sister Nanfei's one-sided story. I've known Miss San for so long, how could I not know about her family situation? How could I not know whether she is actually Miss San or not?"
Qingfu seemed to be under their spell. No matter how Zhang Daya and Yan Nanfei tried to persuade him, he insisted on his own opinion: Miss Huang had not lied to him.
Yan Nanfei gritted his teeth and looked at the excited Qingfu: "Qingfu, don't get excited, listen to me."
Seeing Qingfu refusing to listen to advice and threatening to kill himself, Zhang Daya was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
"My son, please listen to your sister Nanfei one more time, okay?" Zhang Daya's posture was very humble. She and her husband, who had passed away early, only had this one child, whom they had cherished and raised all these years.
“Qingfu, if you really want to marry Miss Huang the Third, who is actually Miss Huang the Second, then you need to figure out whether the Huang family has deliberately set a trap for you to fall into.”
"They want Miss Huang the Second to impersonate Miss Huang the Third and marry you in Miss Huang the Third's name. Once you have paid your respects to your parents, the whole world will recognize you as Miss Huang the Third's husband, not Miss Huang the Second."
"What you should do now is invite this Miss Huang the Third to your home and ask her properly. If she also truly likes you, then let her marry you as Miss Huang the Second."
"If she is unwilling, it means they are committing marriage fraud and want to trick you into taking care of their paralyzed Miss Huang."
Zhang Daya, with tears streaming down her face, hugged Qingfu and said, "Qingfu, listen to your sister Nanfei. We'll invite Miss Huang the Third to our house alone... and Miss Huang the Second to our house. We'll ask her properly and find out who she really is."
Qingfu's heart, which had been softening, hardened again: "I can't doubt Miss Huang like that. Our relationship is stronger than gold. She would never lie to me."
As Qingfu spoke, he broke free from Zhang Daya's embrace: "I don't want to listen to you. Go and make an appointment with Miss Huang. She will be sad if I doubt her like this."
"If our unfounded suspicions cause her to not want to marry me anymore, I can't just remain unmarried for the rest of my life, can I?!"
Qingfu sniffed: "And let me tell you, I will never marry anyone but Miss Huang in my life. If you don't let me marry her, Mother, I'll jump into the river and die right here!"
Yan Nanfei felt a chill in her heart. How could today's scene be exactly the same as what she had imagined last time?
Qingfu is not a bad person by nature; on the contrary, he is too naive and easily deceived.
Is this not?
He's pulled off a massive scam, trying to trick her into marriage!
How could Zhang Daya let Qingfu die!
But she couldn't just stand by and watch Qingfu jump into the fire.
So, Zhang Daya turned her gaze to Yan Nanfei.
Yan Nanfei didn't really have any good ideas; to be precise, he had no ideas at all.
Yan Nanfei really wanted to scream for help!
But Qingfu was so excited right now, so she could only mysteriously, yet with absolute certainty, offer a solution: "Qingfu, I know a place that Miss Huang goes to every month. It's a place where you and Miss Huang can confide in each other. So, would you like to go?"
