Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Breaking Off Engagement ( 1 )
After hearing what Aunt Su said, Aunt Lin nodded and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, you are right.”

She looked at the bright sky and added, “Let’s go now before it’s too late.”

At the same time in the neighboring village, Huang Tingyun came back from the city with a woman. When his mother saw him walking towards her, she asked worriedly, “Son, where have you been? You are getting married in a few days, and you still go to the city.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the woman standing next to her son. Although her appearance and figure are average, she seems to be a very obedient person. Despite wearing old clothes, she was clean and tidy.

Mother Huang asked curiously, “Son, who is this?”

Huang Tingyun held his girlfriend’s hand and said with a smile, “Mother, this is my girlfriend Xiao Mei.”

Mother Huang was stunned when she heard what he said. After a while, she came back to her senses and shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

“You are already engaged to Liu Hua and will be getting married in a few days. Why did you suddenly bring back an old woman? Are you trying to anger your mother?” She added angrily.

After hearing what Mother Huang said, Xiao Mei lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. She is 20 years old and comes from a single parent family. While she worked as a factory worker in town, most of her money was sent back to her family to support her mother and younger brother.

Because of this, she is reluctant to spend money on clothes or cosmetics. Coupled with years of heavy work, she looks older than her actual age. Compared with Huang Tingyun, she always feels inferior. Not only is he mature and has a good job, he is also handsome, smart and looks younger than his age.

When she stands next to him, she looks less like his girlfriend and more like his servant. Whenever Huang Tingyun wanted to buy her clothes, shoes, or cosmetics, she always refused. Not because she wanted to act like a proud woman, but because she couldn’t bear to spend his hard-earned money.

Now, hearing her boyfriend’s mother call her an old woman, Xiao Mei felt very embarrassed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury herself.

Sensing his girlfriend’s mood, Huang Tingyun frowned and said, “Mother, Xiao Mei will be my wife and the mother of my children. So, please show her some respect. Moreover, she is not an old woman. She is 7 years younger than me.”

Before Huang’s mother could speak, he added, “More importantly, I love her not because of her appearance, but because she is a very good woman and our feelings are sincere. I believe that as long as I take good care of her, her beauty will not be less than other women.”

Hearing his words, Mother Huang and Xiao Mei were stunned.

While Mother Huang was speechless at his son’s declaration of love, Xiao Mei was stunned because she didn’t expect that she was so good in her boyfriend’s eyes. At this moment, she felt that she was not so ugly anymore and finally smiled.

Looking at his girlfriend’s smile, Huang Tingyun was stunned. It had been a long time since he had seen her sincere and happy smile. He pursued her for two years before she finally agreed to be his girlfriend. He fell in love with her at first sight, a love that started from her smile.

When he fainted on the roadside due to a high fever four years ago, no one was willing to help him, and he thought he would definitely die that time. But when he woke up, he found that he was in the hospital and it was Xiao Mei who saved him.

The moment she saw him wake up, she smiled softly at him. At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of ‘your smile can light up my whole world’.

Despite not knowing him, she took good care of him and cooked for him for several days until he was discharged from the hospital. It is normal for him to be moved by such a woman.

During their two-year relationship, he always thought that Xiao Mei was willing to be with him because of his unremitting pursuit, not because she liked him. Otherwise, after they got together, why would she smile less and less and reject his marriage proposal?

So, seeing her smiling at him today, Huang Tingyun couldn’t help but hold her hand tightly with delight clear in his eyes. No matter what happens, he will never let her go. In this life, she can only be his wife.

When Mother Huang saw them looking at each other affectionately, she beat her chest angrily and said, “Son, why are you so muddle-headed? We have informed our family relatives, the village elders and the villagers of your upcoming wedding. Stop talking nonsense. Mother will act like nothing happened today.”

Hearing his mother’s words, Huang Tingyun shook his head and said, “Mother, I’m not talking nonsense. I have already talked with Liu Hua and she agreed to terminate the engagement. I only want to marry Xiao Mei, not anyone else.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Grandma Huang’s angry voice coming from the house, “Absurd!”

Looking inside the house, he saw his grandma standing on the balcony with a dark face. She looked at Xiao Mei from head to toe, frowned and said, “Tingyun, this woman looks older and uglier than Liu Hua. Just by looking at her clothes, you can tell that her family must be very poor. What spell did she casted on you that you insist on choosing her instead of Liu Hua?”

“Grandma, I’m looking for a wife to spend my whole life with, not looking for an investment object. Appearance is only temporary and will fade over time, but character will last a lifetime. I don’t think Xiao Mei is worse than others. In my heart, she is the most beautiful woman.” Huang Tingyun said firmly.
