Chapter 286 Scene Change: The NPC Who Was Watching the Show Turns on Her in an Instant Turn (5)
"He may not want to, but I do!"
Su Dingding snatched the embroidered ball from Song Xizi's hand and held it high.
All eyes fell on Su Dingding; the one who snatched the embroidered ball was actually a woman!
Miss Du looked at Su Dingding in surprise, her fingernails digging into her skin.
"What's a woman doing trying to snatch the embroidered ball? She's just causing trouble!"
Su Dingding remained composed and said, "I snatched this embroidered ball for my brother. He's mentally challenged, so it's inconvenient for him."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiucai tried to snatch back the embroidered ball, saying, "I am not worthy of Miss Du, and your brother is not suitable either."
"Although my brother is not very bright, he's more than a match for a cripple like her, isn't he?" Su Dingding said arrogantly. "After all, what able-bodied person would want to marry her and move in with their family?"
"How dare you belittle Miss Du?" Song the actor was furious.
"Well, a woman that even actors wouldn't marry, besides my brother, who else would want to marry her?" Su Dingding looked around and asked loudly, "I don't think anyone would admit to being worse than a fool, right?"
People around them were talking about it.
Now, the two vying for the Du family's eldest daughter are an actor and a fool.
If they were to join in the scrambling for the embroidered ball now, they would be lowering themselves in status.
Although the Du family is wealthy, it's not worth it for a cripple.
"That's right, even if Miss Du gave it to me for free, I wouldn't want it."
"A cripple paired with a fool, that's quite a story, hahaha..."
Hearing the comments from those around her, Song Xizi became even more furious.
"Nonsense! Although Miss Song is disabled in both legs, she is outstanding in appearance, kind-hearted, well-educated, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is no less than those young ladies from noble families. You must not belittle her!"
"Pah," Su Dingding sneered, "If that's really the case, why don't you want to marry her?"
“I…” Song, the actress, looked up at the eldest daughter of the Du family with a look of shame on her face and said, “I am just an actress, how can I be worthy of her?”
A blush crept onto the eldest daughter of the Song family's face. So, does he actually like her?
Su Dingding pouted, "If you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry. Where did all these excuses come from? I don't care. Anyway, the embroidered ball is in my hands now. Miss Du belongs to my brother. Tonight, I will send my brother to the Du residence!"
Miss Du immediately tensed up. She gripped the second-floor railing with both hands and her gaze fell on Song Xizi again.
This is his last chance!
But Song Xizi stood there, stunned, his eyes lowered. His heart ached. He didn't want the woman he loved to marry a fool, but he didn't have the courage to fight for her.
Su Dingding walked past him and said in a low voice, "My brother has violent tendencies. After he marries Miss Du, I believe it won't be long before he tortures her to death. Then, I'll take the opportunity to seize all of the Du family's assets..."
"You dare!" Song Xizi grabbed Su Dingding, her eyes finally filled with murderous intent.
Su Dingding deliberately provoked him, "Of course I dare, after all, that cripple is about to become my sister-in-law, and my brother only listens to me. Tonight I will make him consummate his marriage with Miss Du!"
Song, the actor, couldn't listen anymore and threw a punch at Su Dingding.
Su Dingding dodged, almost simultaneously with the force of his punch; to outsiders, it looked like she had taken a punch.
"How dare you hit me?" Su Dingding covered her face. "The eldest daughter of the Du family is just a cripple. Do you really like her?"
"Miss Du is pure and innocent, I will absolutely not allow you to humiliate her!" Song Xizi's aura was overwhelming, and he suddenly displayed a masculine spirit.
Su Dingding was quite satisfied; this kind of person needed to be provoked.
"What right do you, an actor, have to say such things?" Su Dingding continued loudly, "Even if you like her, with your cowardly attitude, you can't even snatch a bridal ball, what ability do you have to protect her?"
"I am..." Miss Du looked down quietly, her heart filled with excitement.
He was such a gentle and refined person, yet he hit someone for her sake.
So he actually has someone else in his heart, so why is he unwilling to marry her?
Is it really as he said, that he felt inferior simply because he was an actor?
Song the actor clenched his fist but lowered his head and remained silent.
Yes, what qualifications does he have? What skills does he possess?
He doesn't deserve it!
"Young Master!" Miss Du suddenly called out from upstairs, "Of course he has the right to marry me, because I am in love with him. I threw the embroidered ball today for him. I will marry no one but him in this life. If he is unwilling to marry me, I will remain unmarried for the rest of my life."
Now that things have come to this point, if Song Xizi still refuses to marry her, it will be a disgrace to the Du family's eldest daughter and make her a laughingstock.
Su Dingding laughed loudly, "Miss Du, you can't go back on your word. Since it's a ball-throwing contest to choose a husband, whoever catches the ball will be your husband. You must marry my brother!"
"I am willing to marry Miss Du, and I will never betray her in this life!" Song Xizi suddenly looked up at the building and said affectionately.
He didn't want to run away anymore. Even if it cost him his life, he would protect the woman he loved and not let her fall into the hands of this lecherous man.
"This humble scholar..." Miss Du smiled.
“I don’t care if you don’t marry my brother, then give me some reward money,” Su Dingding shouted indignantly. “I want one hundred taels, not a tael less!”
The eldest daughter of the Du family spoke a few words to the maid beside her and told her to go and give out the reward money.
Without this woman, Song Xizi probably wouldn't have agreed to marry her.
[Host, but the ending of this gossip-eating mission is that the beggar goes upstairs and prepares to marry Miss Du. Your line is: Don't forget me when you become successful!]
"So which beggar originally caught the embroidered ball?" Su Dingding asked.
[That's the tall, thin guy who was standing next to you just now!]
Su Dingding turned her head and thought, "Uh, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, he doesn't look like a good person at all."
The eldest daughter of the Du family's maid brought down a reward silver to Su Dingding, instructing her to give the embroidered ball to Song Xizi, and then have Song Xizi follow her upstairs.
People around started talking again.
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Dingding said sarcastically, "I can give you the embroidered ball, but I want to see if this Young Master Song has the ability to protect Miss Du!"
After saying that, she gave Song Xizi an over-the-shoulder throw.
Song, being a scholar, was naturally no match for her.
The eldest daughter of the Du family called out anxiously, "Someone, quickly bring the young master up here."
"I can protect her!" Song Xizi struggled to her feet. "You woman are utterly despicable..."
Su Dingding tore off the beggar's old clothes and put them on Song the actor, mocking, "Look at you, you look just like a beggar, hahaha..."
Gangzi sighed in exasperation. "The host is just blindly copying this!"
"Consider this hundred taels as compensation for your loss. Goodbye forever!" Su Dingding threw down the silver note, turned around, and ran off.
She was convinced that her back view must be incredibly cool.
[Host, your lines...]
Su Dingding quickly turned her head, "Young Master Song, don't forget about me!"
Gangzi was speechless. [Host, don't forget me when you become successful...]
"Hahaha..." Under everyone's astonished gazes, Su Dingding shamelessly repeated, "I meant, don't forget me when you become successful!"
