Ye Wan'er raised her eyes and glared at An Jing, "Stop pretending here. If that's really the case, why didn't you say so earlier? Why wait until now?"
Why didn't she refuse before the New Year? It was just a matter of sending someone to deliver a message. If she had made it clear from the beginning, she wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble and be discovered by the Feng family.
Now look what's happened; the Feng family has forcibly separated her and Changya.
Anle raised an eyebrow, her voice slightly displeased.
"Why do you seem so resentful? You should take responsibility for your own actions, why are you blaming my older sister?"
Besides, this wasn't my eldest sister's fault for meddling. If you want to blame someone, blame the Feng family. They were the ones who practically begged for it. What does it have to do with my eldest sister?
"You—" Ye Wan'er glared at An Le who had spoken, but was interrupted by Feng Changya as soon as she opened her mouth, "Enough, Wan'er, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. After something happened, you don't even know how to reflect on yourself, and you still complain and feel indignant. Miss An doesn't owe you or me anything, on the contrary, you should know her favor."
She wanted to help us both and make our relationship work, but you're the one who ruined it. You shouldn't have done that.
Tears streamed down Ye Wan'er's face. "Changya, it's one thing for others to resent me, but now you resent me too. Who did I do all this for? Wasn't it for both of us? How could you hurt me like this?"
Feng Changya chuckled softly, his smile mocking. "I'd hurt you? In your eyes, I'm not even worth five thousand taels of silver. How could I possibly hurt you?"
"I did it because I had no choice. Even if I didn't take the five thousand taels of silver, your Feng family wouldn't allow me to be with you. I wouldn't even be allowed to be your concubine. What difference would it make if I took it or not? We would still have to separate. Besides... besides, taking the five thousand taels of silver would be insignificant to you, but to my family, this money would be enough to change my family's impoverished life."
Since it can improve my family's life, why shouldn't I take it?
Anle didn't mock Ye Wan'er's words; in fact, she seemed to agree with them.
Ah, that's true. This woman is quite pragmatic; she really thinks, "Why not take it if it's free?"
He couldn't help but nod in agreement, "That makes sense."
Anjing coughed lightly, covering her mouth, and glared at Anle inwardly. What nonsense was she spouting in front of Young Master Feng? Young Master Feng was already heartbroken over this heartbreak, and she was actually agreeing with such things.
Even if it could be used to help the family, there's no reason to take the five thousand taels of silver for nothing; it's the Feng family's money after all.
Money is money, and feelings are feelings; how can they be mixed up?
What probably hurt Young Master Feng the most wasn't that the Feng family discovered their relationship and prevented them from being together, but rather that the young lady had accepted five thousand taels of silver from the Feng family.
Instead, this made what should have been a precious relationship seem insignificant.
In this relationship, Young Master Feng became a complete joke. It's rare that he even put in effort for this relationship and wanted to fight against his family.
But then the girl compromised with the Feng family, accepted the money, and revealed everything about the two of them, including what she had done.
However, from this perspective, the girl didn't have any bad intentions; she just wanted to be with Young Master Feng. But lying is still immoral.
Anle muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong."
He glanced at Ye Wan'er and Feng Changya, patted his butt and got up, "Forget it, there's nothing for us to do here anyway, let's get out of here."
"Isn't this the explanation we came here for? If you understand, that's enough. I'll have Uncle pass on a message to the Feng family another day, making sure you, eldest sister, have a clear statement. Then this matter will be over." She scratched her head, seemingly realizing that it wasn't necessary to be so explicit. Her attitude had already been made very clear.
Now that today's incident has passed, there's probably no need to make her uncle come over again. This matter can end here. The Feng family isn't blind; they've likely already noticed this scene of them expressing their stance.
"Um... never mind, that's fine then, let's go, big sister." Anle said, and led the way away.
An Jing didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at Feng Changya, then turned and left. This matter didn't really concern her; it was just that someone had tricked her into it. Once things were clarified, that would be enough.
"Wait, wait a minute, Miss An—"
An Jing paused, turned around at the sound, and asked, "Is there anything else, Young Master Feng?"
Feng Changya's smile was somewhat stiff. "Miss An, would you please stay and have a meal at our residence? A banquet has been prepared to apologize on your behalf. It is indeed my Feng family's fault for this matter. We hope Miss An will do us the honor of accepting our sincere apology."
“This—” Anjing hesitated, glancing at Anle in front of her.
Anle turned around with a smile, "Big sister, you don't need to ask me that. It's about you, so it's up to you."
Hearing An Le say this, Feng Changya was even more determined to keep her here. "Miss An, please stay so I can apologize."
This Miss An is indeed a person of strong character; she remained calm and composed despite all this. If it were any other girl in her current position, she would have already turned on them.
It has always been the case that those in high positions wield great power, and those with even higher authority can crush others.
Given the current status of the Yu family, the Feng family should have been punished, but this girl did not abuse her power and remained gentle and refined, which shows that she has a very good temperament and character.
He actually admires it.
Suddenly, he felt a strong urge to continue his relationship with her.
He secretly hoped that Miss An would stay, so that they could have a chance to get to know each other better.
"But... my cousin is waiting for us at the restaurant, so it's really inconvenient today. How about another day?"
"Since you say so, then I will take it as Miss An's agreement. If you really have something to attend to today, then please go and take care of it."
"Tomorrow, I will personally visit to apologize. I hope Miss An will do me the honor of attending a small banquet at my residence." That's what he said, and that's what he intended to do.
An Jing paused for a moment, "Young Master Feng, there's no need to be so polite. I really didn't take this matter to heart. Let's just let it go. Young Master Feng doesn't owe me anything, so why should I apologize?"
"If Young Master Feng wishes to visit the manor, you are welcome anytime." Anjing said with a smile, then followed Anle away.
