The beautiful facade of "for her own good" and "old friends marrying off their children" was suddenly stripped away, revealing an ugly truth that they could no longer deceive themselves about; they had to confront their own selfish thoughts.
In truth, they simply wanted their family to live a little better, and if their son could secure a respectable job, they would consider it fulfilling their duty as parents. As for their daughter, she was someone who would marry off; marrying into a family with better conditions that could benefit their son seemed even better, didn't it? After all, what did young people know about love? In their generation, wasn't it more about compatibility and living together? Over time, feelings would naturally develop.
Moreover, the other family was indeed well-off; they wouldn't be wronging their daughter at all! Yet deep down, they understood that their daughter was unwilling. Although they were unhappy about it, they couldn't resort to the ancient practice of forcing marriages. They had to let it go. They just never expected things would turn out this way.
They were deeply pained and disapproving of such events. Especially Rao Gang, who felt that his daughter had nearly been violated—something no father could tolerate. He wanted to lash out, especially at his worthless son; he was simply inhuman! But the problem was that now, while his daughter was unharmed, his son had ended up in trouble. Even if he had made a mistake, it should have been dealt with at home; how could he end up in prison? This would ruin his son’s life!
Absolutely not.
On the other hand, Huang Xiang felt guilty and regretful; she had suspected something from the start. Yet she had deceived herself into thinking that since her daughter hadn’t called for help, she must have been willing. Young people and their affairs were beyond her understanding. If it was consensual, then all the better—they could form a union! How could she not be happy?
A fleeting thought led to this outcome, costing her son dearly. She regretted it immensely. Her son was supposed to be the pillar of this family; how could he bear such a stain? How would he find a job or a wife in the future? If her son failed, the entire family would collapse.
Therefore, such a thing absolutely could not happen.
“Enough! What are you all shouting about? Do you think this is some kind of place?” Zhan Ruoyang stepped forward to intervene before things escalated further. After speaking, Zhan Ruoyang turned to Rao Jie and said, “Let’s talk inside.”
As Rao Jie prepared to leave, Huang Xiang immediately grabbed her arm and said, “Daughter, don’t be foolish! That’s your biological brother! If he goes to jail, it will bring shame upon you!”
Wu Rong reached out and pulled Huang Xiang’s hand away. “You don’t need to pressure Rao Jie. I’m the one who reported this; she’s just a victim and a witness. All she needs to do is tell the truth. I… won’t let anyone who harms Rao Jie go unpunished.”
Huang Xiang widened her eyes and shouted, “Who do you think you are? How dare you report my son? This is our family matter; we’ll resolve it ourselves at home!”
Wu Rong snorted coldly and pulled out the marriage certificate from Rao Jie’s pocket, displaying it for everyone to see.
"My wife was almost insulted, and as her husband, I have the right to sue, even more so than you as her parents!"
Rao Gang and Huang Xiang were taken aback, not expecting that they had actually registered their marriage.
Rao Gang exclaimed in shock, "Rao Jie, when did this happen?"
Huang Xiang, confused by the current situation, felt fear creeping in due to Wu Rong's unwavering confidence. She kept pleading with Rao Jie, "Rao Jie, you can't harm your elder brother!"
Rao Jie, tightly holding Wu Rong's hand, finally looked up at her parents with a cold expression and said, "I don’t know anything. I was drugged at the time. All I can say is what I know; I believe the police will know how to handle this according to the law."
