Chapter 61 - Father, Swear That Youll Never Marry Her

For twenty years, she lived with Mu Tianwei and her two children, Mu Sen and Mu Nianqing without a proper status... Most importantly, she had to make her children live without a father. Their clandestine relationship with Mu Tianwei made them feel extremely aggrieved.

Now that she had finally made it out of that miserable doldrums and Luo Zheng was turning 18 years old soon, he still seemed to have no intentions of marrying her. However, she was originally supposed to be his wife!

“Well... ”

Facing Zhao Manru, Mu Tianwei was speechless.

Seeing what had happened, Luo Zheng asked angrily, “Father, were you just lying to me back then? Have you always wanted to marry this old hag?”

Seeing that Luo Zheng really abhorred the idea, Mu Tianwei had no choice but to gently coax her. “How could that be? Manru and I are just ordinary friends... ”

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Manru’s heart sank. Despite knowing that he was just playing along, she still felt angry and resentful.

“Well, Father, swear to me that you’ll never marry this sordid woman!”

Luo Zheng refused to give in and continued to probe further.

“Zheng, be good and quit throwing a tantrum!”

To be honest, Mu Tianwei was starting to feel a little annoyed.

Previously, Luo Zheng was still rather obedient and easy to coax although she was prideful and willful.

What’s going on today? She’s being so unreasonable!

Although he had the intentions to make everyone detest Luo Zheng, he was truly annoyed by how disobedient she was!

“Luo Zheng, do you have any manners at all? This is your father’s business. Who are you to intervene? Scram and go upstairs... ”

Li Shufen immediately chased Luo Zheng away angrily.

They couldn’t stand the sight of Luo Zheng and vice versa. She just wanted to make life hard for Zhao Manru!

Hence, Luo Zheng held onto Mu Tianwei’s arm and swayed it from side to side. “Father, didn’t you say that you two are just ordinary friends? In that case, why can’t you swear!?! Do it, swear that you’ll never marry her... ”

Luo Zheng refused to budge until she got what she wanted, like a child who was throwing a tantrum.

Zhao Manru turned pale as she heard her words.

“Fine, fine, fine, I swear I’ll never marry her! Zheng, you’re about to sit for your exams soon. Hurry up, go upstairs and do some revision... ”

Due to the fact that Zhao Manru was present, Mu Tianwei had no choice but to perfunctorily chase Luo Zheng upstairs.

Luo Zheng grinned widely and let go of Mu Tianwei’s arm. She stood in front of Zhao Manru and said arrogantly, “Auntie, did you hear that? My father will never marry you! So you’d better let go of him if you still have some shame! I’ve seen plenty of old hags like you who are just after my father’s money. Why don’t you realize how old you are? Have you got what it takes!?!”

“You... ”

Zhao Manru was so infuriated that she almost vomited blood. Her heart pounded rapidly and she glowered at Luo Zheng in exasperation.

However, Luo Zheng did not stop and instead continued to make sarcastic remarks. “Oh right, my father mentioned to me that you also have a daughter. I don’t care who that bastard child belongs to but don’t think of leeching onto my father. Our family is clean and upright, you’re in no place to tar us... ”

Her words could not be any less insulting!

Zhao Manru almost lost her temper and she felt a strong urge to rip Luo Zheng’s mouth apart!

“You wretched lass, shut up!”

Li Shufen’s face grew sullen and she slowly stood up to stop them.

Even Mu Tianwei felt extremely embarrassed. He chided, “Zheng, how could you say that? Where are your manners? Go upstairs now.. ”

“Hmph, I’m just warning her not to be delusional! Fine, I’ll go upstairs. I don’t want to look at an old hag like you guys do!”

Luo Zheng glanced at Zhao Manru in disdain while the latter glared daggers at her. She then turned around and dashed upstairs.

As soon as her back faced them, Luo Zheng smiled.

Zhao Manru, my “kind stepmother”, are you pleased with my welcoming gift?
