Eternal Love For You novel Chapter 10

Xie Dongyang's escape from his own wedding was premeditated. At first, he thought nothing about rejecting Hua Sheng, as his family was more powerful than hers.

However, he never expected that Jiang Liu would get caught up in the affair. To Xie Dongyang, this was an unexpected bonus.

It made him feel as though Jiang Liu was getting something that he did not want; it made him feel really pleased.

Xie Dongze understood what his younger brother was getting at and did not continue speaking much.

Instead, he followed their father's instructions and brought Xie Dongyang back home.

That night, Xie Dongyang endured a whipping with a leather whip.

Old Master Xie, who was really angry, was the one who administered the merciless beating.

He only relented when his wife became soft-hearted and pleaded for leniency on their son's behalf.

"I should have flogged this unfilial boy to death," Old Master Xie remarked as he panted with the whip in hand.

Xie Dongyang remained completely silent throughout

the entire ordeal with gritted teeth, evidently extremely indignant.

"Do it. I'll stop pissing you off," Xie Dongyang said in a faux-Beijing accent.

He had stayed with his paternal aunt in Dragon City for a while when he was younger, so he spoke in Beijing slang occasionally. Under the current circumstances, however, it managed to infuriate his father even more.

"Don't you know when to shut up? Are you planning to drive your father to his grave?" Madam Xie exclaimed, punching her son on his shoulder. She was getting irritated by him as well.

It was not a heavy blow, however. He was her favorite child, and she could never bring herself to hit him hard.

"You can't blame me for what happened, Mom. You people set me up with an engagement and wedding without even seeking my consent. Even now, I don't even know what the Fifth Young Mistress of the Huas looks like. Are we still living in the old times where all important decisions have to be made by one's parents? Dad is always acting as if he belongs in the Qing dynasty! You two are always deciding things on my behalf! To you, I'm just like a big baby who's incapable of making decisions and starting a relationship with a girl. Why did you have to choose a bride for me? Are you people getting married or me?"

Xie Dongyang never held his tongue back, no matter what situation he was in.

He kept going, berating his parents for what he perceived as their wrongdoing.
