Chapter 140: The Sickly and Descendant Vice Admiral vs. the Destitute Noble’s Daughter (StarCraft) (
[Transmission is over, host, please open your eyes. ]
When Jiang Zheng opened her eyes again, she found herself in a bustling place. Flowers in front of her formed a wedding scene. The man standing in the center was wearing a well-fitting dark blue military uniform with copper buttons around his waist.
The woman standing opposite him was wearing a pure white wedding dress, but her face did not show the slightest joy of being a bride.
"what's the situation?"
[You are late for the transmission. This is the wedding scene of the Son of Luck. The man standing in the center is the Son of Luck, Eli Sox, and the bride opposite him is your sister, Jiang Chao, the daughter of your stepmother.]
This is an interstellar plane, where the level of technology is millions of years ahead of humans, and they live alone on an alien planet.
Eli Sox, a general who rose from a commoner, had fought in many battles without a single defeat and had made great achievements. He should have been a man with a promising future, but he was defeated miserably in a battle three months ago due to a command error. Not only was he seriously injured, but he also unexpectedly lost his fertility.
The once popular candidate for a rich and powerful son-in-law suddenly became a plague that everyone avoided. The mere fact that he could not have children made the nobles of the main planet avoid him.
The Jiang family that Jiang Zheng belongs to is a noble family left over from ancient Earth. However, because there are no outstanding men in the family to hold positions on the main planet, the family has fallen into decline over the years, leaving only the title of nobility.
Although he is a ruined noble, he is still one level higher than the common people.
Jiang Chao actually didn't want to marry Eli. She wanted to marry the former Eli who had made great military achievements and could bring her glory, not the current Eli who was injured and had to retire from the battlefield and take up a civilian job.
But unfortunately, this marriage was arranged by Jiang Chao's father in order to make friends with Eli many years ago when Eli was still a rising star in the army.
Unexpectedly, Eli was defeated one day and his reputation as a genius was gone. Instead, he became a despised existence. However, for the sake of his good reputation of keeping his promise, Jiang Chao's father still let Jiang Chao marry him.
"Tsk, this is a bit troublesome."
Jiang Zheng leaned back in his chair and pondered for a while.
However, her pensive look was regarded as a mockery by Jiang's mother who was standing beside her.
Jiang's mother is Jiang Chao's mother. She has always treated Jiang Zheng, the child born to the previous wife, harshly, beating and scolding her at every turn. All the bruises on Jiang Zheng's body were caused by Jiang's mother.
"What's that expression on your face? Chao Chao has been willing to marry this kind of person. It's ok if you don't feel sorry for her, but why do you look so mocking!" Jiang's mother's eyes were sharp, and her eyebrows were full of sarcasm. "Bitch! Dare to show an unwilling face again! Wait until I get back and see how I deal with you!"
If it were any other time, Jiang Zheng would have already run away in fear, looking frightened. But now was different, this body had a new owner.
Jiang Zheng doesn't have the habit of pampering anyone.
"I clearly didn't show any expression. How did you know that I was mocking Jiang Chao? Do you have the ability to read people's minds?" Jiang Zheng glanced at Jiang's mother sarcastically. She knew that Jiang's mother was very unhappy that Jiang Chao was marrying Eli, who had nothing, but she couldn't resist Jiang's father, so she could only bully Jiang Zheng, who was weaker than her. "If you have the guts, go and stop them. Why are you barking like a dog in front of me?"
"You!" Jiang's mother didn't know why Jiang Zheng, who was usually timid and cowardly, suddenly became sharp-tongued. She was about to slap her in the face, but Jiang Zheng raised his hand to stop her in mid-air.
"You still want to hit me?" Jiang Zheng sneered, "Are you not afraid that your mask of 'gentle stepmother' will be completely shattered in front of everyone?"
Ever since Jiang's mother came into the family, for the sake of her own reputation, she has acted like a loving mother to Jiang Zheng in front of everyone, thus demonstrating her kindness.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, Jiang's mother's face changed and she looked at the people around her with a vacant look.
Father Jiang sat at the side and glanced over here unhappily, "Shut up! It's Chao Chao's wedding day! What's the point of making such a fuss!"
Mother Jiang didn't dare to refute Father Jiang, so she shut up immediately and turned around to glare at Jiang Zheng fiercely.
Jiang Zheng smiled indifferently. Just as she was thinking about how to ruin this wedding, she heard that the wedding scene, which had been peaceful and festive just a moment ago, suddenly became noisy.
"No! I don't want to marry you!"
It turned out that Jiang Chao broke off the engagement on the spot and threw the bouquet on the ground in front of everyone. One flower happened to hit Eli's face during the flying process.
Breaking off the engagement on the spot, what a blatant humiliation!
Jiang Chao cried loudly, but Eli remained expressionless and even had time to brush the dust off his clothes.
He can remain calm and composed in such a situation, what a character!
"Chao Chao! Stop messing around!" Jiang's father stood up from his seat with a bang, his face livid. "This is your wedding! Stop messing around! Pick up the flowers!"
"Dad!" Jiang Chao stamped his feet, turned his head and glared at Eli, who stood still, with hatred, "I already have a lover, you can't break us up just because of a promise!"
Jiang Chao broke off the engagement on the spot and even said that he had someone he liked. This was a slap in Eli's face.
The comrades who had fought with Eli on the battlefield were immediately furious. "What do you mean! It was your Jiang family who begged and pleaded for the engagement with the lieutenant general! Now you're breaking off the engagement at the wedding!"
"That was in the past!" Jiang Chao seemed to have given up completely. She glared at her comrade Satine angrily, "Why should I marry a loser who can't go to the battlefield!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Jiang Zheng raised her eyebrows.
This is the first time I have seen such a stupid opponent!
Even though Eli retired due to injury, his military rank and prestige were still there. Jiang Chao said in front of Eli's comrades that Eli was a waste, which was a slap in the face of all those who retired due to injury.
As expected, Jiang's father's already ugly expression became even gloomier.
"Chao Chao! As a member of the Jiang family, you are not allowed to make trouble!"
There was already a hint of threat in the words.
"Dad!" Jiang Chao pouted.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Mr. Jiang, the person your daughter likes is me."
A tall man in dark military uniform walked out of the crowd, with a star on his shoulder.
Admiral, Oberon, daughter of the nobility.
In the battle where Eli was defeated, it was Oberon who acted decisively and led people to rescue him, and won the battle. As a result, Oberon, who was also a lieutenant general, was promoted to general for his contribution in this battle, and he was firmly superior to Eli.
When Jiang Chao saw Oberon coming, she quickly ran over, picking up the hem of her skirt, and looked at him with affectionate eyes, as if they were a pair of lovers.
Satine said in disbelief: "Admiral Oberon, how could you?"
"Why not?" In front of everyone, Oberon hugged Jiang Chao and raised his chin towards Eli, as if to say, see, your bride likes me, not you, a waste.
"The person she likes is me. She doesn't want to marry Eli. Don't you understand?"
Oberon's tone was full of provocation. He looked proudly at Eli, who had remained silent from beginning to end, and waited for his answer.
