Chapter 1886 ? Expedient Measure
That's right, what Cao Mengyuan said was the truth, from Cao Zhongxiao's heart, he couldn't deny it.
At the beginning, in order to cling to the Huang family, the Cao family gave whatever they wanted, and in the end they did not hesitate to marry the young Cao Mengyuan to Huang Bin in exchange for a long-term cooperation.
Now that the Huang family is in full swing in the capital, under the leadership of Huang Zhiwen, all businesses are developing very well. If they continue to build a good relationship with the Huang family, they might get some resources from the Huang family.
However, Cao Zhongxiao did not expect that the grandniece in front of him would immediately see the crux of the problem and hit the pain point. Cao Zhongxiao had no choice, so he pretended to fight back with a strong tone for Cao Mengyuan's good.
The majestic head of the family, Cao Zhongxiao didn't want to lose his due majesty in front of a grandniece.
"Cao Mengyuan, grandpa, why do I work so hard to run this family? Didn't I want you to live better and make others think highly of it? Do the math, which one of your food and clothing expenses these years is not from the Cao family?"
"Could it be that you grew up on the wind? It's good now. When you grow up and learn some knowledge, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, right? You actually taught me? Everything I have done these years is useless right?"
"Touch your conscience, are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of your parents who worked so hard to raise you?"
The reason why Cao Zhongxiao was so angry was not because he thought he was worthy of Cao Mengyuan.
From the bottom of his heart, he really felt that the biggest victim of this marriage with the Huang family was Cao Mengyuan in front of him.
He also felt sorry for this girl in his heart, but he had no choice but to sacrifice this grandniece for the sake of the entire Cao family in exchange for the long-term peace and wealth of the Cao family.
He yelled at Cao Mengyuan just to maintain the dignity of himself as the head of the family.
Because, for so many years, no one in the Cao family dared to speak in front of him like this. Even if they were reunited for a meal, they would be cautious, for fear of making any loud noises.
As for Cao Mengyuan, she was the first person who dared to talk to herself like this, and dared to challenge her dignity.
Of course Cao Zhongxiao couldn't be more angry, but he also knew very well that the marriage contract back then really felt sorry for Cao Mengyuan, there is no doubt about it.
But there is no way, the fact has become like this, if you go back on your word, the Huang family will definitely not agree, and even cut off all contact with the Cao family.
"Grandpa, do you have the nerve to say that? Why should I be sorry for you? Could it be that I am sorry for you because I married that kid Huang Bin?"
Cao Mengyuan shouted in dissatisfaction, pouring out the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for more than ten years, "But have you considered my feelings? I think you know better than me what kind of guy Huang Bin is? Besides, I I don't like him at all, being with him will not bring me happiness at all, it will only ruin the rest of my life!"
"Grandpa, how many second half lives can a woman have, do you really have the heart to live like this for the second half of my life?"
Cao Mengyuan's heart was churning violently, her voice trembled because of the excitement, and her tears fell like broken threads.
This time, Cao Zhongxiao did not refute anymore, because Cao Mengyuan's words deeply hurt his heart.
Over the years, he had always thought that this grandniece had no objection to the engagement, but until today, he realized that Cao Mengyuan was not what he imagined.
As an adult, she already has her own thoughts and opinions, and she is definitely not an obedient girl who is at the mercy of others.
Cao Zhongxiao was silent, he felt that he had never been so haggard, and his face, which was full of energy before, suddenly became much older and haggard.
What Cao Mengyuan said was correct, and he was powerless to refute it, because he knew that the marriage contract at the beginning was a deal in itself, a ridiculous deal, and he did not ask Cao Mengyuan for his consent.
A weak woman, being the head of the Cao family as a contact relationship,
After using it, I felt a little guilty in my heart these years, but I kept hiding it in my heart and didn't show it.
Now, this young grandniece who can see everything clearly has completely revealed the answer to this mystery, just like uncovering the scars she planted, which really makes Cao Zhongxiao feel ashamed.
However, because of his old face, he was strong enough to hold on, with a stern expression on his face, unable to say a word for a long time.
Cao Mengyuan's crying gradually weakened, Cao Zhongxiao at this moment hoped that Cao Mengyuan would have a good cry.
Everything is doomed, and even he has no way to change it. Maybe, after Cao Mengyuan has a good cry, she will feel better in her heart, and then she will gently comfort her, and Cao Mengyuan will slowly accept this reality. .
For Cao Mengyuan in front of her, if she wants to accept this reality, it may not be possible to take strong measures.
Cao Zhongxiao was thinking about how to persuade Cao Mengyuan after her mood eased, at this moment, Cao Mengyuan stood up abruptly, wiped the tears off her face abruptly, with a stubborn look on her face. He stared at Cao Zhongxiao.
"Grandpa, I don't want to embarrass you, I don't want to embarrass the Cao family, but I only have one request!" Cao Mengyuan's voice was unusually calm, "It shouldn't be too much to exchange the rest of my life for a small request, right?"
Cao Zhongxiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Cao Mengyuan in confusion, "Say it."
What this girl meant was that she acquiesced in this marriage, didn't she? If that's the case, there will be no embarrassment on my side, so a small request is nothing.
"It's still the same thing I said just now. I hope you can help my classmate! If I can't do this little favor, even if I die, I won't marry into the Huang family!"
"..."
Cao Zhongxiao looked at Cao Mengyuan speechlessly, and blinked a few times.
After all this, Cao Zhongxiao didn't even think about it when it came to this matter.
"Mengyuan, you would rather ignore your happiness for the rest of your life and help your classmate. I think this classmate of yours is really not easy. If I'm right, he is your friend. Bar?"
Cao Mengyuan nodded, "You can think so, but he is very good to me, he can be regarded as my friend."
In fact, in Cao Mengyuan's view, Shen Dapeng is not only her friend, but also her significant other. However, this is not the time to say this.
As for agreeing to this marriage in exchange for her small request, it was just a temporary expedient for Cao Mengyuan.
When she was crying, she was actually thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Crying for a while won't solve anything, and the clever Cao Mengyuan quickly thought of this solution.
