The chief had a beard, and his eyes were fierce. He held a string of prayer beads in his hand.
The prayer beads were very long, and he moved them very quickly.
His eyes were fixed on Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe. There was no smile in his eyes, and he seemed to be indifferent.
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
He did not know what this village chief was thinking. He really could not see through his thoughts.
At this moment, the village chief suddenly narrowed his eyes and threw the prayer beads in front of Jiang Ming.
“It’s not good to watch us here, right? Isn’t this spying on our privacy?”
Jiang Ming did not expect that he would actually discover him. After thinking about it, he came out.
Since he wanted to fight with him, he did not say anything.
The village chief smiled.
“Are you Jiang Ming? As expected of the person that Young Miss admires. You look like a talented person.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
“l didn’t expect you to know my name. Did the young miss tell you?”
Chu Wanwan’s face turned red. “l did tell the chief. I really wanted him to understand you, so I told him some things about you. But I don’t have any other intentions. Don’t misunderstand.’
Seeing this, Jiang Ming did not say anything. He sized up the village chief and said, “Chief, you flatter me. These are my two companions. They are only here because they are worried about my safety. They have no ill intentions.”
The village chief was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, “You left with the young miss. How could you have encountered danger? Could it be that you mean that the young miss will hurt you? It seems that your two companions don’t trust us very much.”
Chu Wanwan did not expect the village chief to explain it this way. She was instantly dumbfounded.
Chu Wanwan immediately explained in a panic, “Jiu Zhu didn’t mean that at all. Chief, please don’t misunderstand. Jiang Ming is a very nice person. Moreover, we were indeed in danger just now. It was Xiao Qianquan who wanted to kill me.’
The corners of the village chief’s mouth curled up slightly. “How could he come here? I remember that he was already dead before I left. Young Miss, you’re starting to lie for this person now.” “No, I’m sure it’s him.’
Chu Wanwan was dumbfounded again.
She did not expect him to say that Xiao Qianquan was already dead.
She could not help but feel baffled.
“But I did see Xiao Qianquan. Chief, are you sure you’re not wrong?”
Jiang Ming remained silent and just looked at the village chief.
He could feel that he was trying to trick or find fault with them by trying to force Chu Wanwan to say more.
He was confused again.
Logically speaking, the two of them should be father and daughter. Why did they call each other by their titles? Shouldn’t they be very close? Or were the two of them not father and daughter at all?
Thinking of this, he felt that he was right, but he still hid this doubt in his heart and did not say it out loud.
He waited for the village chief to continue. He wanted to see what he wanted to do.
The village chief seemed to have read Jiang Mings mind. He tilted his head and said, “Jiu Zhu, right? Perhaps you can tell me the truth. It’s not that I don’t trust the young miss, but she has always been shallow in her handling of things. I can’t let her encounter some things because of you. I have to think about her safety.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, “l understand. What the young miss said is the truth. You can rest assured. Besides, you should know her well. How could she lie to you?”
Hearing this, the village chief was relieved.
He believed in his own judgment. Jiang Ming did not seem to be talking nonsense.
If Jiang Ming was still spouting nonsense now, it meant that he did not respect him.
His village was famous far and near for its power, so Jiang Ming should be aware of the situation.
Thinking of this, his attitude could not help but become smug.
Jiang Ming was just a young man, and he wanted to marry his young miss. What a whimsical idea.
If he used a few moves later, Jiang Ming would definitely be scared out of his wits and escape. How could he still be behind her?
Thinking of this, the village chief could not help but want to laugh.
It was not that he had not seen his young miss look for other people before. It was also because she was scared out of her wits and fled. This time, it would definitely be the same ending.
The young miss was really innocent and ignorant. He had to let her see the situation clearly.
Seeing that the village chief did not speak for a long time, Jiang Ming could not help but think.
He did not know what he was thinking. Perhaps he was thinking about how to deal with him, but he really could not figure out what the village chief was thinking.
With this thought in mind, the village chief had already returned to his senses. He looked at Jiang Ming and said, “You want to marry the young miss. However, you have to pass my test. I wonder if she has told you about it.”
As he spoke, he looked at Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan immediately stepped forward and grabbed the village chief’s sleeve. “Chief, please believe me. This time, there is no need for any more tests. There really is no need for tests. If there is a test, it would not feel sincere. I believe in my heart and the people I choose.”
“You’ve been drugged by him. There are so many outstanding men in our village, Why did you choose an outsider instead of one? It’s fine if you choose an outsider, but you must let me test him. What if he lets you down? I’ve raised you for so many years. Am I going to let you go out and suffer for nothing?”
The village chief was instantly furious. He raised his hand, but he did not hit
Chu Wanwan.
If it were the past, he would have beaten her up, but he could not bear to do so. After all, he had doted on Chu Wanwan like a daughter for so many years.
What could he do now?
Unexpectedly, Chu Wanwan was more determined than ever this time, She stood up to defend Jiang Ming and said, “Jiu Zhu is not someone I have seen before. If it wasn’t for him, I would have been killed by Xiao Qianquan. He was my savior. According to etiquette, 1 should devote myself to him, and I shouldn’t have tested him like this. Chief, don’t stop me. I’m not your biological daughter anyway. Let me make my own decision. Even if it ends badly, I’ll accept it.”
“You unfilial daughter! Don’t you know how well I treated you?” The village chief could not help but cry out bitterly.
He felt like he had raised an ingrate, but what could he do?
Chu Wanwan liked him so much that she could not bear to be separated. “Forget it. We’ll talk about the test later. Come with me first.”
Seeing this, the village chief suddenly thought of another plan and adopted a compromise. He wanted to temporarily stabilize Chu Wanwan’s emotions..
