Chapter 46

Chapter 46

"If you could change the way you speak and your attitude, perhaps the outcome would be different!"

Yi Tiantian thought to herself, pondering deeply.

Gang Fengxing took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and looked seriously at Little Xiang across from him.

"Little Xiang, what do you like about me? Why must you marry me?"

This question seemed to truly stump the girl with her side-swept bangs, Little Xiang.

She stood there, tilting her head in thought for a moment.

"I..."

After thinking for a long time, Little Xiang couldn't find a reason.

"I don't know why! But I only know that I want to be with you forever! If we get married, we can be together forever!"

In the end, Little Xiang gave up on thinking and shouted loudly.

"But even if we get married, we won't be together forever."

Gang Fengxing warned himself to stay calm, again and again, making sure not to say anything too extreme.

"Why not?! Why can't we be together forever even if we're married?!"

Although Gang Fengxing's tone wasn't forceful, Little Xiang seemed to be triggered by his words and started acting crazy again.

Seeing her daughter so deranged, Little Xiang's mother stepped forward once more, hands on her hips, pointing at her husband beside her, and shrieked, "It's all because of you, useless man, that our daughter has to propose to him! Look, he's rejecting our Little Xiang!"

Under the sharp ridicule of Little Xiang's mother, the middle-aged man, dressed in the most tattered clothes, lowered his head.

Feeling immense shame, Little Xiang's father finally stepped forward, standing in front of his wife and daughter, and looked up at Gang Fengxing.

He spoke slowly, "Sir, please accept my daughter."

Only when he lifted his head did the onlookers realize it was a face filled with immense hardship.

The father had white hair, a face lined with wrinkles, and bloodshot eyes, looking extremely aged.

The onlookers around them were either affluent members of high society or famous celebrities, all well-maintained, forming a stark contrast to this aged father.

Gang Fengxing was moved by the father's aged appearance.

"Little Xiang's father loves his daughter dearly, but his love has become excessive, turning into indulgence."

"He once tried to stop his daughter's obsessive fandom, but Little Xiang's mother kept pressuring him and brainwashing him, saying that if he didn't support his child's dreams, he was an incompetent man!"

"Thus, the loving father, under the manipulation of his sharp-tongued wife, sold his house and everything they owned to support his daughter's idol worship!"

"This honest man was ruined by his foolishness and the manipulation of his wife and child!"

Yi Tiantian sighed inwardly.

Hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, Gang Fengxing suddenly had an idea.

He then said earnestly to the deranged Little Xiang, "I think you should look at your father."

For a moment, Little Xiang didn't react, but she obediently followed Gang Fengxing's words and looked at her father for the first time.

Just one glance made Little Xiang realize that her father was no longer the man she remembered.

Her father was slightly hunched over, his hair gray and his face weary, looking ten times older than her mother!

In Little Xiang's memory, her father was a man who could carry everything on his shoulders, and she hadn't noticed how much he had aged.

Seeing Little Xiang momentarily stunned, Gang Fengxing knew his words were starting to work.

"Little Xiang still loves her father very much; it's just that years of parental indulgence and her mother's manipulation have driven her to this madness!"

"If only she could realize that the most precious thing is not blind idol worship but the family love around her!"

Yi Tiantian gazed at the aged figure of Little Xiang's father and couldn't help but sigh.

"Little Xiang, your parents have sacrificed so much to bring you here, especially your father. Look at him now."

Gang Fengxing continued to guide Little Xiang step by step, following Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

"Dad..."

Little Xiang indeed shifted her attention from Gang Fengxing to her aging father, even reaching out her hand to touch him.

But at that moment, Little Xiang's mother quickly stepped forward and slapped her hand away.

"What are you doing?! You've finally met your favorite star, go confess to him! What if he leaves later?!"

Little Xiang's mother, with a sharp tongue, tried to manipulate her daughter again!

Upon hearing her mother's words, Little Xiang snapped back to reality.

Taking one last look at her father's face, she redirected her attention back to Gang Fengxing.

"That's right, I'm here to confess! I want to be with Gang Fengxing forever! You can't leave me!"

Little Xiang fell back into her delusional state, looking at Gang Fengxing almost obsessively.

Gang Fengxing's brows furrowed tightly as he realized that the root of all this was actually related to Little Xiang's mother!

"The reason why Little Xiang's mother indulges her daughter in chasing stars is because she has always dreamed of marrying a big celebrity and becoming a wealthy wife!"

"Believing she could marry a big celebrity, Little Xiang's mother failed to realize her own dream and thus imposed it on her daughter!"

[Little Xiang, influenced by her mother's 'marry a big celebrity' mindset since childhood, developed such an unhealthy personality!]

Yi Tiantian's thoughts echoed, confirming Gang Fengxing's suspicions.

The root of all this was indeed Little Xiang's mother!

"Little Xiang's mother, I have a question for you."

Gang Fengxing suddenly spoke up.

Seeing the big celebrity directing his attention towards her, Little Xiang's mother was thrilled, even smoothing her hair and avoiding eye contact with Gang Fengxing.

"W-What question?"

"Do you think Little Xiang's dream is to marry a big celebrity?"

Gang Fengxing tried to make Little Xiang's mother see clearly that she shouldn't impose her will on her child.

Little Xiang's mother fell into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.

Just as Gang Fengxing thought he could appeal to her reason and emotions, Little Xiang's mother suddenly erupted in a tirade.

She pointed at Gang Fengxing, using extremely filthy language.

"Do you think you're something special just because you're a star?! Let me tell you, you need to take responsibility for my daughter today! Otherwise, we'll expose you to the media! You irresponsible scumbag! You...!"

Gang Fengxing, raised in a well-mannered family, had never been cursed at like this before.

Hearing those filthy words, he didn't even understand what they meant.

Seeing her mother start cursing, Little Xiang burst into tears on the spot.

As she cried, she tried to hold her mother's hand, but was repeatedly pushed away.

Finally, Little Xiang's mother slapped her across the face.

This made Little Xiang cry even louder.

Listening to his wife's continuous curses, Little Xiang's father clenched his fists, seemingly reaching his breaking point.

"Little Xiang's father can't take it anymore; he wants to end his life!"

"If only he could come to his senses and leave this crazy wife!"

Gang Fengxing was also anxious and, hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, he quickly reprimanded the crying mother and daughter behind him.

"Have you had enough?!" As he spoke, he grabbed Little Xiang's father, fearing he might do something rash out of anger.

The mother and daughter, seeing Gang Fengxing's sudden anger, were shocked into silence.

"As a father, is it truly your wish for your daughter to marry a big celebrity?"

Gang Fengxing looked seriously at Little Xiang's father, who had been silently standing there.

"I..."

Before Little Xiang's father could answer, the mother and daughter started crying and yelling again.

Especially Little Xiang's mother, who jumped around, threatening to send Gang Fengxing and Little Xiang's father to jail.

"It seems Little Xiang's father can't take it anymore!"

Gang Fengxing's heart skipped a beat as he saw Little Xiang's father move!

Was he really going to...

But in a split second, Little Xiang's father turned around and punched his wife in the mouth!

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

Everyone present was stunned!

Because Gang Fengxing's words to Little Xiang's father had worked!

Gang Fengxing was equally shocked; Yi Tiantian's prompt had actually been effective!

Little Xiang's mother never expected her usually docile husband to resist and hit her!

She was completely taken aback, stumbled a few steps, and screamed, "Murder! Murder! This crazy old man is trying to kill me!"

Little Xiang, seeing her father stand up to her mother for the first time, felt a switch flip inside her, developing resistance towards her mother.

"Can you stop screaming?!"

Little Xiang stood next to her father, tearing off her veil and throwing it on the ground.

Little Xiang's mother was truly dumbfounded; she never imagined this day would come.

"Don't you two forget who has been supporting this family? Have you forgotten your dreams and your daughter's dreams?!"

Little Xiang's mother stopped crying and tried to manipulate them again with her PUA tactics.

Seeing the father and daughter fall silent again, Gang Fengxing panicked, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, Yi Tiantian, who had been standing behind them all along, stepped forward.

She said calmly, "Marrying a big star has always been your own wish, not theirs!"

Little Xiang and her father used to be unable to see this clearly, having been forcefully instilled with this notion by Little Xiang's mother, which is why they did such a ridiculous thing.

But after Yi Tiantian's enlightening words, the two of them finally understood.

Little Xiang completely refused, shouting, "That's right! I've realized it! I don't want to marry any big star at all!"

Little Xiang's father looked at his daughter beside him with renewed confidence and also said to the thin-faced Little Xiang's mother, "We're leaving. You can marry whoever you want!"
