The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1427: They Selected a Horror Film

Dusk had fallen by the time Mo Yixuan and Mo Ling emerged from the hospital.

Mo Ling was in good spirits because his father’s condition had improved significantly and would be able to make a full recovery in a couple of months.

“Dad, shall we go watch a movie since it’s still early?” he asked as he took out his phone and looked up the nearest cinema.

Mo Yixuan agreed halfheartedly. No form of entertainment could cheer him up and he treated all these activities as a way to pass time.

Mo Ling used his phone to search up a cinema located nearby, known as Starlight Cinemas. He looked at the introduction and saw that it was a newly opened cinema that had a good environment.

They drove toward the cinema after they left the hospital and arrived at Starlight Cinemas that was located on the fifth floor of a mall 20 minutes later.

“Dad, what would you like to watch?” Mo Ling asked as he handed his father a brochure detailing the movies that were being screened that day.

The cinema was showing sci-fi films, action films, romantic comedies, and horror films.

Mo Yixuan glanced at the brochure and thought for a moment before he pointed at the last film listed on the brochure, a movie titled “Red Wedding Dress”.

Mo Ling paused and looked at his father in surprise.

“Dad, are you sure?” he asked in surprise because he knew that his dad didn’t usually watch horror films. He had never seen his dad watching horror films in the past either.

Mo Yixuan replied with a smile and a nod, “Yes.”

Mo Ling replied, “Sure.”

Mo Ling was more keen on watching the sci-fi film on artificial intelligence but he decided to respect his father’s decision even though he thought that it was odd that his father had decided to watch such a film.

They walked into the theatre with tickets 15 minutes later.

There weren’t that many moviegoers watching this film and there were merely seven or eight people in the huge theatre. Most of the moviegoers were youths and there were also two couples in addition to themselves.

Most moviegoers would choose to watch either sci-fi or action films, so there were very few moviegoers who would choose to watch horror flicks.

The light in the theatre was a little dim, as though it was deliberately done to create a creepy atmosphere.

Mo Ling and Mo Yixuan’s seats were the 15th and 16th seats of the seventh row. They were the only ones in that row and the rest of the audience were seated behind them.

Soon, the movie started airing.

After the opening credits, the film opened to an underdeveloped village and an old wooden hut.

The film was likely set in the Late Qing dynasty.

Two women were in the midst of a discussion in the old wooden hut and one of the women was probably a matchmaker who was trying to sell her services to this household.

Mo Ling took out his phone and looked up this film, its contents, and its introduction.

This film was set in a small village in a province of the southwestern part of China. A 16-year-old girl known as Yang Yingying was forced by her parents to marry into the Qin family who was a family of landowners. She had been betrothed to the second son of the Qin family when she was 13 years old but she had yet to be married when the second son passed away. Yang Yingying’s parents forced her to marry the deceased second son of the Qin family, Qin Yu, just so that they could get their hands on two parcels of land.

She wasn’t willing to marry him and tried to run away but each time she attempted to run away, she would be caught and brought back to her village, where she would be whipped viciously.

After her third failed attempt at running away, she was beaten to the point where her flesh mingled with blood and she was bedridden for three days. Both her pinky fingers had been hacked off by her father.

She stopped attempting to run away from that day onward.
