Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Normally, Song Meiyu wouldnât say anything even if she saw it. But now, she wasnât going to be polite anymore. She said, âWhatâs wrong with Young Master Yan? Why does he look so unhappy? Could it be that he despises us for disturbing your family?â
Such impolite words stunned everyone in the Yan Family. Yan Jingchen was respectful towards this famous lady in the business world. He cupped his hands and said, âAunt Song, of course not. I just didnât rest well last night.â
Song Meiyu snorted coldly. âI canât afford to be called Aunt Song by Young Master Yan. If you canât rest well, donât go out and spout nonsense. Isnât it good to rest at home?â
Everyone in the capital knew how much Yan Jingchen hated Song Jiaren. As long as anyone mentioned her in front of him, they would definitely be insulted and scolded.
Yan Jingchen was completely dumbfounded. Looking at Song Meiyuâs cold expression, he realized this was the first time he had experienced her imposing attitude.
Wu Yu was dissatisfied and said, âMs. Song has objections towards my son. Since thatâs the case, letâs cancel the engagement.â
After she finished speaking, she arrogantly waited for Song Meiyu to apologize. This was a tactic that they had tried time and time again. So what if she was intimidating outside? Just because her daughter liked her son, she had to deign to her.
Song Meiyu replied, âSure.â
This answer shocked everyone in the Yan family. Yan Renwei, who had been indifferent just now, quickly said, âMs. Song, we can discuss this. Donât be so rash.â
Song Meiyu sneered. âDonât always act like we owe you guys. The marriage between the children is something that both parties have to want. If I put it bluntly, itâs a marriage of benefits. You guys canât deny this, right?â
These words werenât pleasant to hear, but they were the truth. They didnât even have a reason to refute.
Song Jiaren finally understood what she meant when she said that she would not show any mercy. Her mother was really tough.
Yan Jingchenâs expression was grim. Wu Yu was about to say something when she was pulled back by Yan Renwei. He glared at her. This tactless woman, didnât she see that Song Meiyuâs attitude today was off?
Wu Yu stood aside with a dark expression and did not speak anymore.
Yan Renwei sat on the other side of the sofa and smiled. âMs. Song, itâs normal for us to have some conflicts. Thereâs no need to delay the marriage of the two children.â
Song Jiaren chuckled. âRumors have it that your family is dissatisfied with me. Now that we want to end the engagement, youâre unhappy.â
Her words attracted everyoneâs attention.
Yan Jingchen asked, âSong Jiaren, are you really going to mess around like this?â
Song Jiaren said coldly, âDo you still remember what I said? I donât want you anymore.â
Looking at her determined expression, Yan Jingchen was stunned. He felt that she was a little different, but on closer inspection, she still looked fat and ugly.
He did not take the matter of her wanting to break off the engagement to heart at all. She did not come yesterday and he naturally thought that she regretted it. He did not expect her to really come.
He said again, âCut it out, Song Jiaren. Song Youyou and I happened to be together that day. Itâs a misunderstanding.â
These words made Yan Renwei and Wu Yu nod in understanding. They didnât believe that Song Jiaren suddenly didnât like their son. So it was because she was jealous.
Yan Renwei put away the nervous expression on his face and leaned back on the sofa. In any case, Song Jiaren would definitely listen to his son. As long as he could control Song Jiaren, she would be like a tiger without claws, not worth mentioning.
Song Jiaren smiled. âOne is called Song Jiaren, and the other is called Youyou. I can tell from the address that Young Master Yan is more interested in my younger sister. Why donât you two get engaged after we cancel the engagement?â
At the right time, Song Meiyu took out the engagement token that the two families had exchanged when they were engaged. The Song family had offered a merchant shop worth 100 million shares, while the Yan family had only offered a jade bracelet worth 1 million. It was really something pathetic to offer.
The Yan Familyâs condition for getting these shares was for Yan Jingchen and Song Jiaren to get married, and these shares werenât theirs yet.
Naturally, the Yan Family wouldnât give up the benefits in their hands. Yan Renwei wanted to smooth things over again, but was coldly rejected by Song Meiyu.
Both Yan Renwei and Wu Yu looked at their son. Yan Jingchen had just been rebuked, but in this situation, he could only say, âSong Jiaren, I donât have feelings for Song Youyou.. Youâve misunderstood.â
