Chapter 75: Breaking off an Engagement
"Maybe in a month or so." Ning Jiaxuan said, "My brother and sister-in-law are going on their honeymoon."
Ning Jiaxuan didn't really want to have an unpleasant experience with the Yan family at this time. "Sister-in-law, I'm not in love with Yan Yichen. I haven't graduated from college yet. I'll be a senior next semester. There's still time. Just resolve this matter before the summer vacation."
Things between Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun have not fermented well. The two are more like ordinary partners at present. But over time, who can guarantee it? Especially Xu Ruyun already knows that the engagement between Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan cannot continue. Xu Ruyun is still single. Ning Jiaxuan doesn't believe that Xu Ruyun has no ideas.
As far as Ning Jiaxuan knew, Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen had eaten out at restaurants many times. Xu Ruyun's family accepted gifts from others and did not do anything to fulfill their promise. Those people made a fuss in the factory, but Yan Yichen did not blame Xu Ruyun.
It's incredible that Yan Yichen doesn't blame Xu Ruyun for being such a person. Yan Yichen can't work well with anyone, so he should find someone with a very ordinary family background to work with. Xu Ruyun can draw the design drawings, and others can draw the design drawings too. It doesn't have to be Xu Ruyun.
Even if Yan Yichen needed Xu Ruyun, Yan Yichen could let Xu Ruyun go to work in the factory. There was no need to give Xu Ruyun shares and let Xu Ruyun's second brother invest.
From all aspects, Yan Yichen had different feelings towards Xu Ruyun from the beginning, but I don’t know if Yan Yichen himself knew it. Anyway, Ning Jiaxuan knew it, and Su Xueqing knew it too.
"What are you thinking about?" Mrs. Ning asked, "Do you want them to come and cancel the engagement in person?"
"If they came in person to cancel the engagement, I would still look up to Yan Yichen." Ning Jiaxuan said, "He came in person, it's not that no one wants me, it's that he has no face."
"Indeed, their family is too embarrassed to continue this engagement." Mrs. Ning said.
In order to appease Yan's mother and prevent her from taking any further action.
Yan Yichen actually took his mother to the Ning family to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. On the day Su Xueqing returned home, Yan Yichen went to cancel the engagement.
Ning Jiaxuan said that she took back her previous words. Even if Yan Yichen came to cancel the engagement in person, she, Ning Jiaxuan, would never look up to Yan Yichen. Today was the day when her best friend returned home, and Yan Yichen actually came to cancel the engagement on this day. Was he trying to make her feel uncomfortable when she thought of this day?
The Yan family has sinister intentions!
However, these people are wrong!
Ning Jiaxuan would not feel uncomfortable, she would feel very happy, she was finally going to get rid of the Yan family. If these people did not come to the door, and if they continued to wait, Ning Jiaxuan would let the Yan family know how Yan Yichen's reputation was destroyed step by step by Yan's mother.
"Where is your grandma?" asked Ning's mother.
"Grandma...she knows." Yan Yichen said, "but she doesn't know I'm coming today. My mom...I want to cancel the engagement as soon as possible."
"We must cancel the engagement." Yan's mother slammed the table. "Who knows what your daughter is like? She hangs out with those guys all day long. She has no sense of propriety and is not a good wife."
"You must be a faithful wife. You should never marry again in your life. You should be a widow and stay with your dead man for the rest of your life." Ning Jiaxuan rolled her eyes. "You are the most capable."
"Jiaxuan." Ning's mother deliberately waited for Ning Jiaxuan to finish speaking, and then she glared at Ning Jiaxuan again.
"Then cancel the engagement." Ning Jiaxuan looked at Yan Yichen, "You brought it up yourself, so don't blame us for not keeping our promise. You can't blame us for not giving you time."
Ning Jiaxuan thought that she and Su Xueqing had been planning this for a long time, taking all kinds of situations into account, but they did not expect Yan Yichen to cancel the engagement so soon. They all thought that Yan Yichen would drag it out, and Yan Yichen might even drag it out until Ning Jiaxuan graduated from university.
"It was our family that broke off the engagement!" Yan's mother emphasized, "It was our family that broke off the engagement!"
Mother Yan's eyes were red. She pointed at Ning Jiaxuan and said, "She doesn't know how to respect her elders. She even called me a widow."
"I haven't even married yet, and you're still accusing me of not being a good wife." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You only allow your son to have a female partner, and you don't allow me to have a male friend. Your family is so shameless."
Ning Jiaxuan would never allow Yan's mother to say those words, "There is no way I will marry Yan Yichen since he has a biological mother like you!"
"You...you..." Mother Yan covered her heart with one hand.
Yan Yichen was not surprised by this. He had asked Yan's mother to take medicine before coming here. He knew that Yan's mother was pretending. Besides, what Ning Jiaxuan said was not wrong. It was not reasonable to allow officials to set fires but not allow ordinary people to light lamps.
"Mom, Jiaxuan and I have broken off our engagement." Yan Yichen reminded his mother, "Don't say bad things about Jiaxuan or the Ning family in the future. They have helped us enough."
Yan Yichen deliberately said these words in front of the Ning family. He wanted to let these people know that he did not listen to his mother and did not regard the Ning family as enemies. Yan Yichen stood up and bowed to the Ning family. They had already helped him a lot, so there was really no need to continue helping them.
Old Mrs. Yan was right. People in the Yan family needed to know their limits.
If they don't know the limits and insist on continuing, things will only be bad for the Yan family.
"I'm sorry." Yan Yichen said.
"You have done something wrong to them, it's them who..."
"Mom, I've done what you said." Yan Yichen interrupted her mother, "From now on, Jiaxuan and I don't have an engagement, so you don't have to mention Jiaxuan anymore."
"You..." Mother Yan was angry, "Are you blaming me?"
"Aunt, uncle, we're leaving first." Yan Yichen pulled Yan's mother away, unable to let her go any longer.
The Ning family watched Yan Yichen dragging his mother, who was still nagging and obviously wanted to make a scene. With such a mother, Yan Yichen was destined to never find a partner with a good family background.
Unless the parents of girls from good families want to arrange marriages for their daughters, they don't consider their daughters' happiness at all.
After the Ning family left, Ning Jiaxuan spoke again, "I thought you would ask me to say it out loud. I have made all the preparations..."
"How much preparation have you made?" asked Ning's mother.
"When we say we're making preparations, we're actually just waiting to see what the Yan family can do." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Let's see how bad their reputation can get."
It was right for Yan Yichen to come and cancel the engagement earlier. Otherwise, according to Yan's mother's personality, Yan Yichen would flirt with other women while he was engaged, which would not look good.
"You were calm when they just left," said Ning's mother.
"Failure in career makes people more courageous, while failure in love makes people unable to recover." Ning Jiaxuan said what Su Xueqing had said before, "If I talk too much at this time, can he blame his mother? It's enough."
"..." Ning's mother looked at her daughter. Was this something her daughter would say?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm an adult now, and I'm a mature and stable person now." Ning Jiaxuan said.
Ning's mother didn't quite believe what Ning Jiaxuan said. She was afraid that being mature and steady wasn't that simple.
"Dad, Mom, this matter has been resolved." Ning Jiaxuan said, "From now on, Yan Yichen is no longer my fiancé. But the day they chose today is not very good, my sister-in-law is returning home today."
"It's a good thing that your sister-in-law is not at our house." said Ning's mother.
"I didn't let her see the fun." Ning Jiaxuan said.
“…” Mother Ning was speechless.
"Family disgrace should not be made public. My sister-in-law is a family member and it has nothing to do with her," said Ning Jiaxuan.
"It doesn't matter." said Ning's mother.
Yan Yichen dragged his mother out of the Ning's house. Yan's mother urged Yan Yichen to come to the Ning's house this morning. She thought Yan Yichen would not be able to come, but she didn't expect that Yan Yichen actually brought her here.
Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan broke off their engagement, but Yan's mother still felt unhappy.
It's too easy!
What Yan's mother thought was that Ning Jiaxuan liked Yan Yichen, Ning Jiaxuan could not forget Yan Yichen, Ning Jiaxuan refused to cancel the engagement, and Ning Jiaxuan would rather break up with the Ning family than not want to be the Yan family's daughter-in-law... During the days when Ning Jiaxuan did not go to the Yan family, Yan's mother imagined a lot. She felt that after all the things she had done, Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen still maintained the engagement, it must be because Ning Jiaxuan liked Yan Yichen very much. Who would have thought that they could cancel the engagement so easily after going to the Ning family.
"Ning Jiaxuan doesn't love you at all!" Yan's mother gritted her teeth, "If she loved you, she would never deny you her dignity and cancel the engagement."
"Isn't this what you want, mom? You want us to cancel the engagement." Yan Yichen said, "Yes, Ning Jiaxuan doesn't love me. She doesn't love me, but she still maintains the engagement with me. She wants to help me, do you understand? But with you like this, I really can't be thick-skinned enough to let others continue to help me."
Yan Yichen really couldn't continue the engagement and let the Ning family suffer. The Ning family did nothing wrong. They helped their family so much, but why did they have to say that they were wrong? How could they make mistakes when they helped their family?
Yan's mother always talks about the special times. During the special times, the Ning family did not suffer any disasters. Old man Ning and old lady Ning, two lives are still alive. Is this not life? Is only the life of the deceased father Yan's life life?
"Are you still not satisfied after this?" Yan Yichen asked, "Or do you want me to really make enemies with the Ning family? I took the initiative to cancel the engagement, not them. This is equivalent to slapping them in the face and making them lose face. It's our family's fault, and they should be the ones to cancel the engagement."
Yan Yichen was annoyed. No matter what he said, it was useless. That was his mother's temper. She always felt that he had not done well.
"We should be the ones to cancel the engagement. How can we ask them to cancel our engagement?" said Yan's mother.
"Haha." Yan Yichen knew that Yan's mother was like this, so he took Yan's mother to the Ning family to cancel the engagement in order to prevent Yan's mother from taking any subsequent actions. Taking the initiative to go to the Ning family to cancel the engagement would also make Yan's mother calm down a little.
"..." Mother Yan felt bad. She didn't think that her son and Ning Jiaxuan would break off the engagement so easily. She thought it could last for a while. Yes, that's what Mother Yan thought. She could make a fuss, but these people could still drag it out. "I think they wanted to break off the engagement a long time ago. They deliberately..."
"Let's go home." Yan Yichen didn't want to talk so much with Yan's mother at the door of someone else's house.
Yan Yichen no longer pulled his mother, but walked in front by himself.
Mother Yan looked at Yan Yichen's departing back, then turned to look at the Ning family, and finally followed Yan Yichen's footsteps.
When Yan Yichen and his mother returned home, they saw Old Lady Yan.
"You guys..." Old Mrs. Yan had a serious face.
"Mom and I went to the Ning family to cancel my engagement with Ning Jiaxuan. From now on, there is no engagement between Ning Jiaxuan and I." Yan Yichen said, "Mom, you don't have to make trouble for the Ning family all the time. If she continues to make trouble, it's only natural that others will hold a grudge against her."
"Alas." Old Madam Yan said, "You shouldn't have chosen this day. Today is the day when Ning Jiaxuan's sister-in-law returns to her parents' home. She has a very good relationship with her sister-in-law. If you go over to cancel the engagement at this time, it will not only make the Ning family lose face. Your mother is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"
"Mom said we should go, so let's go." Yan Yichen didn't pay attention to the day when Ning Jiaxuan's sister-in-law would return home for a while. He was annoyed by Yan's mother and just wanted to get things done quickly to avoid his mother talking about nonsense.
"She said she was going, so are you really going?" Old Lady Yan said, "Forget it, this time it's already happened."
Old Lady Yan looked at Mother Yan not far away and snorted coldly, "Are you satisfied?"
"I..." Mother Yan was a little scared when facing Old Lady Yan. On the way back, Mother Yan was scared, "I really didn't expect them to cancel the engagement like this..."
"Haven't you thought of it yet?" Old Madam Yan sneered, "You asked your son to come to your house to cancel the engagement. If they don't cancel the engagement, do they have to beg you to continue this engagement? This engagement was originally obtained by us, not by the Ning family!"
"I...well...they all think I'm sick, they can..."
"No." Old Lady Yan said, "You want to save face, but the Ning family doesn't? In marriage, the woman is most likely to suffer. If they continue to maintain this engagement, how will others see them? Do you think our Yan family is so useful? Our Yan family is not as good as the Ning family. Don't always think that the Yan family can do everything."
Old Lady Yan was very angry. Yan Yichen, a grown man, might not know the date of Su Xueqing's return home. How could Yan's mother not know? Yan's mother deliberately asked Yan Yichen to go to the Ning family at this time, and insisted that Yan Yichen break off the engagement with Ning Jiaxuan at this time.
Such a mother will only drag down Yan Yichen!
But Old Lady Yan had no choice. She knew she couldn't control Mother Yan for her whole life. If she locked Mother Yan up, Yan Yichen would still want to release her after she died. Instead of letting Yan Yichen listen to Mother Yan in everything, it would be better to let Yan Yichen suffer these things earlier and let Yan Yichen know what a terrible mother Mother Yan was.
Even if Yan's mother suffered with them in the countryside, that was not a reason for her to offend others at will.
"Put away those dirty thoughts of yours." Old Lady Yan said to Yan's mother, and then looked at Yan Yichen, "Yan Yichen, you should pay attention to what's going on. Although your factory produces some simple accessories, it's not without competitors, and they will not make things difficult for you. When you were engaged to Jiaxuan, they treated you as the son-in-law of the Ning family and gave you face. Now you have offended the Ning family. The Ning family has not taken action against you, but others will speculate. The Ning family will say that you are canceling the engagement normally, but that's useless. Others will just think there is something wrong. Otherwise, why would you cancel the engagement for no reason?"
"Yes." Yan Yichen said.
"Don't blame the Ning family, blame your mother." Old Lady Yan said, "Don't think you are so powerful. If it weren't for the Ning family, you wouldn't have been able to build the factory so quickly, and you wouldn't have received orders so quickly. Others have helped you in your most difficult times, and you still have to rely on yourself to stand firm in the future."
"Yes, that's right." Yan Yichen nodded.
Old Lady Yan looked at Yan's mother coldly, "Just wait and see your son busy."
Old Lady Yan just thought of Yan Yichen and Yan's mother going to the Ning family, but it was too late for her to go. Old Lady Yan thought that she should let Yan's mother make a scene so that Yan Yichen would know Yan's mother's true nature. After Yan's mother made a scene, Old Lady Yan would bring gifts to the Ning family, and she would still have to apologize to the Ning family.
When the Ning family saw that Old Lady Yan came so quickly, Old Lady Yan said that she knew it was too late, and she wanted to let Yan Yichen know the mistake of Yan's mother, so she came slowly.
"Alas, it's all because I didn't manage them well." Old Lady Yan's eyes were red. "I didn't manage them well."
At the Su family, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing came back. Father Su and the third brother Su and his wife all took leave just to wait for Su Xueqing to come back. Su Xueqing had thought about coming on the weekend, but she thought that since she didn't go to the Ning family on weekends, she didn't need to wait until the weekend to come back to the Su family.
Uncle Su Er and his family haven't returned yet. Anyway, they have food and shelter, and someone has arranged everything for them. They don't have to spend any money, so they can have some fun.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing got married, but they hadn't received any red envelopes from these people. They came from far away, and some of them even had to ask for leave. Ning Yanjing was rich and made a lot of money. Ning Yanjing had already told the Su family in advance that he would not accept any red envelopes.
Since Ning Yanjing said that, the Su family naturally would not accept red envelopes from relatives.
The Su family prepared three tables of food, but there was no room in the living room, so they placed them in the yard and in front of the neighbor's door. Today was Su Xueqing's return home, and the neighbors could understand.
"When are you going back?" Aunt Su Xiao asked Aunt Su Er.
"Go back in two days." said Aunt Su Er.
Second Aunt Su wanted to go back earlier, but her husband said that since they were here, they should stay for two more days so that Second Aunt Su could accompany Old Lady Su. Second Aunt Su thought that her children had not come for a long time, so she asked them to see Old Lady Su more. In fact, these people didn't see Old Lady Su more, because they all went out to play, but they could come to the Homecoming Banquet today, and they could come when they go back.
This was considered satisfactory to Old Mrs. Su, and Second Aunt Su had nothing else to say.
"That's right, my second aunt and second uncle are here, so let's just walk around and have some fun." Amelia Su said with a smile, "Go to the park with my cousin and take a walk in the ancient city area."
Amelia Su thought that those people wanted to have food and accommodation and travel at the same time, otherwise, how could these people come with the second aunt. It was the Ning family who was generous and arranged those things. If it were Amelia Su, Amelia Su would definitely not arrange so many things. Those people had a drink and at most they should go back after the Guining Banquet was over.
“Second aunt, little aunt, you two chat.” Su Yanan dragged Su Yamei away.
"What? I didn't say anything wrong." Amelia Su said.
"Help serve the dishes." Su Yanan said. In fact, Su Yanan was afraid that Su Yamei would say a few more words and embarrass Su Er's uncle and his family.
Although Uncle Su's family might not think too much about it, what if? Anyway, we don't know when these people will come again, so just deal with it and don't embarrass everyone.
If someone else said those words, it would be fine, Amelia Su wouldn’t think there was anything wrong, but what Amelia Su said, Amelia Su was worried that Amelia Su would say something she shouldn’t say next.
Amelia Su brought back a lot of things. On the day of returning home, they had to bring back things. When Amelia Su saw those things, she thought that Amelia Su was indeed rich.
The return party ended smoothly. After dinner, Aunt Su Er and others were ready to go out and play. Uncle Su Er and others had already arranged their time. They had to go to another place in the afternoon and go back to the hotel for dinner in the evening. After dinner, they could go out for a walk and then go back to rest.
Zhu Baoqian was pregnant and about to give birth. Zhu Baoqian and her husband went back early, followed by Aunt Su and others. Yu Dasao and her husband packed some vegetables from Su's house before leaving.
"Mom, I have to go back to school." Su Xueqing said.
Su's mother originally wanted to ask Su Xueqing to sit for a while, but when she heard Su Xueqing's words, she realized that today was still a school day.
“Didn’t you ask for leave?” Amelia Su asked.
"I didn't ask for leave." Su Xueqing said, "It's very close here, so there's no need to ask for leave. The school doesn't encourage people to get married while studying, but if people want to get married, the school won't stop them. It's not good to ask for leave just to get married."
Su Xueqing had no intention of making things difficult for the counselor. The school generally did not approve such leave. Students could say that they were asking for leave because of something or something else, and not write directly on the leave application that it was for marriage.
"Just one afternoon..."
"An afternoon class is also very important." Su Xueqing replied.
"Mom, sister, I'll take Xueqing to school." Ning Yanjing said.
"Okay, go ahead, but drive slowly." Su's mother saw Su Xueqing and her husband out.
After Su Xueqing and her husband left, Su's mother went back to pack her things.
"Everyone knows that she is married, she asked for leave, and others also know why." Amelia Su said, "She didn't ask for leave, why is it so urgent."
"The school is right next door, so it's quite convenient." Su Yanan said.
“If it were me, I would ask for leave.” Amelia Su said, “It’s just getting married once, not many times.”
"I didn't ask for leave yesterday, so I can't ask for leave today." Su Yanan said.
Since Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not go to the Ning family today, they did not know that Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen had broken off their engagement. The Ning family did not specifically tell Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing today, and they thought they would wait a day before telling them.
In the evening, after school, Ning Yanjing went to pick up Su Xueqing.
"These few days are finally over." Su Xueqing sighed, and there was no need to rush from now on.
"Are you tired?" Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly.
"It's OK. There will be less work in the next few days." Su Xueqing said, "I'll go to the company on the weekend."
Professor Guo and his colleagues work overtime on weekends in order to complete the development zone as quickly as possible.
"Don't get too tired." Ning Yanjing said, "If you can't, you can ask for leave."
"No need to ask for leave." Su Xueqing said, "I'm not a formal employee, and the teacher also said that I don't have to go these days. I just thought that I still have things to do and do them better."
"Let's do it." Ning Yanjing supports Su Xueqing's career.
The next day, Ning Jiaxuan came to Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing knew that Ning Jiaxuan had broken off the engagement. Su Xueqing asked someone to pour tea for Ning Jiaxuan, and Aunt Li followed. Su Xueqing and her husband no longer lived in the other house, and Ning Jiaxuan rarely went there. Su Xueqing and her husband were used to Aunt Li, so they just asked Aunt Li to come over.
"I was thinking about canceling the engagement with Yan Yichen after a while, but I didn't expect him to come to my house with his mother to cancel the engagement." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you know? On the day of your wedding banquet with little brother, the old lady of the Yan family drugged Yan Yichen's mother and made her sleepy, and didn't let her come to the wedding banquet."
"Did you give me sleeping pills?" Su Xueqing was surprised.
"Yes." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. "Because of this, Yan Yichen's mother made a fuss and insisted that he come to cancel the engagement, so he came. I was originally wondering if Yan Yichen would be shameless and deliberately drag it out, but I didn't expect him to take action so soon."
"It's better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. If they do so later, it will only make them more embarrassed." Su Xueqing said, "Didn't his mother always want him to be with another woman? Many people know that Yan Yichen is not with another woman yet, but others don't think so. They may think that he has already met another woman in private."
"That's exactly what happened." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If I don't cancel the engagement with him, I'll be embarrassed too. Others will think that I've been bullied by them like this, and I still have to maintain the engagement. I really... I just didn't want them to come yesterday, because yesterday was your return home. I thought about canceling the engagement with Yan Yichen in about a month, so it's better to change the plan."
"No need to set a specific date." Su Xueqing said, "It would be best to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. Yan Yichen came to cancel the engagement himself, so it can't be blamed on you."
"You don't know, Yan Yichen's mother said a lot of unpleasant things yesterday, and Yan Yichen couldn't stop her." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Fortunately, Yan Yichen and I are not married. If I were married and had a mother-in-law like this, I would definitely go crazy."
"Let's cancel the engagement." Su Xueqing said.
"Yan Yichen even apologized to us." Ning Jiaxuan said, "His grandmother also came to apologize later. It was their problem in the first place, and they should really apologize. I don't want to have any more contact with a family like this. Our plan is no longer useful."
"It would be better if we don't have to make a plan." Su Xueqing said, "Let's just watch the fun."
In the original novel, Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen did not cancel their engagement so quickly, and their engagement would last for a while. Su Xueqing thought that it would be better for Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen to cancel their engagement as soon as possible, because if it dragged on for too long, it might not be good for Ning Jiaxuan.
"They still live near you." Su Xueqing said.
"This is really annoying," Ning Jiaxuan said. "They have to live next to us, and Yan Yichen's mother comes out to scare us from time to time, like a dog without a leash. Not only does she scare us, but she also scares other people. I suspect they want others to believe that Yan Yichen's mother is really crazy, so they scare more people."
"It's possible." Su Xueqing nodded. "No matter what they think, the important thing is that you broke off the engagement with him. It was Yan Yichen who took the initiative to come to your house to break off the engagement. It's not your fault."
If Ning Jiaxuan took the initiative to cancel the engagement, she would be easily used as cannon fodder by the original male and female protagonists. Although this world is not very different from the novel world, I am afraid of the gravity of the plot. Su Xueqing always stood on Ning Jiaxuan's side. The novel world is very different from the real world, so they don't have to be too afraid of Yan Yichen.
Su Xueqing is not even afraid of the heroine Xu Ruyun. In romantic novels, the heroine is the core. Whoever the heroine chooses is the hero. If Xu Ruyun had not chosen Yan Yichen, Yan Yichen would not be the hero. From the current point of view, Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen should still be together.
But without Ning Jiaxuan as a stepping stone and a comparison for them, they probably wouldn't be able to be together so smoothly.
"It's good this way. Yan Yichen can be with the person arranged by his biological mother." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"We can't be together." Su Xueqing said, "Xu Ruyun lives next door to my parents. Yan Yichen runs a factory. Xu Ruyun is a designer. She said she would invest in the technology, but she can find someone else."
If Su Xueqing understood it, there was no way Yan's mother wouldn't understand it.
"Everything Xu Ruyun has has become dependent on Yan Yichen." Su Xueqing said, "If she hadn't been with Yan Yichen, it wouldn't have been so easy to get the dividends. If Yan Yichen was with someone else, he would definitely wonder why Xu Ruyun could get so many things and that Yan Yichen was too good to Xu Ruyun."
Some things may seem technical, but they are not completely irreplaceable. Just like Su Xueqing, she can also be replaced.
"Just wait, there will be some trouble." Su Xueqing said.
"You're right." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. "Xu Ruyun's family background is too poor. Not everyone is from our family. Of course, Xueqing, your family background is poor, but you work very hard."
"No need to comfort me, I know." Su Xueqing understood that Ning Jiaxuan did not mean to look down on her.
After Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen broke off their engagement, Yan's mother set about arranging other blind dates for Yan Yichen. She wanted to let the Ning family know that Yan Yichen could be with girls from good families, not just Ning Jiaxuan.
As for Xu Ruyun, she had already been forgotten by Yan's mother. Yan's mother even went to find someone she used to know, saying that she wanted her friend to introduce a girl to her son, saying that her friend's daughter was suitable.
"No, they are not suitable at all." The friend said directly, "My daughter is spoiled and willful, and has a bad temper."
Others directly rejected Yan's mother, saying that they didn't want their daughter to suffer. Yan's mother acted as if she was not crazy at this time, and the more she acted like this, the scarier it was.
The friend thought that the Ning family helped the Yan family so much, but Yan's mother still thought that the Ning family was bad and that the Ning family was their family's enemy. The friend thought that if her daughter did something wrong, Yan's mother would definitely say that her daughter was not right.
That won’t work. It’s not like my daughter can’t marry someone else. Even if I let her marry someone of lower status or someone with a worse family background, I can’t let her marry Yan Yichen.
When the friend's daughter learned that Yan's mother came to their house to talk about the blind date, she rolled her eyes and said, "Ning Jiaxuan didn't jump into the fire pit, so you can't make me jump into it."
These girls from good families are not naive, they know a lot.
When one friend didn't agree, Yan's mother went to another friend, but they both refused. Yan's mother asked the children of the two families to meet, but they also refused.
Having failed to achieve her goal, Yan's mother returned home with a gloomy face.
Old Mrs. Yan saw Yan's mother dressed up beautifully and went out, and was not surprised to see Yan's mother come back with a gloomy face.
"Mom, why do those people look down on Yichen?" Yan's mother said, "I asked them to let their daughters meet my son, but they didn't want to. If I didn't consider them friends, how could I give them this opportunity? Their daughters are so bad, with bad tempers and no rules. Do they really think I care about their daughters?"
"Now that you are famous, who would dare to let their daughter marry your son?" said Old Lady Yan.
"Are they afraid to offend the Ning family?" Yan's mother asked, "Did the Ning family ask them to..."
"No." Old Lady Yan said, "I have already brought gifts to apologize to the Ning family. They don't mean to blame us. They just said that they have helped us as much as they could. They have done their best for us."
"It must be them. If it's not them, then those people..."
"You are crazy, and anyone can find out if they ask around." Old Lady Yan said, "Since you came back to South City, when have you ever taken the initiative to visit your so-called friends? Did your friends help you during those special times?"
"They... that's because of their in-laws..."
"They didn't help you. You said their in-laws wouldn't let them help you. You wrote to them, but they didn't reply. You called them, but they didn't answer the phone." Old Lady Yan said, "But the enemies you mentioned, I didn't write to them or call them, but they sent things."
Old Mrs. Yan felt that Mother Yan was too hypocritical and that whatever Mother Yan's friends did was right.
After returning to South City, Yan's mother did not take the initiative to find those people, nor did she help Yan Yichen find connections. She was arrogant and aloof. Now, Yan's mother knows to find them, but they are unlikely to pay much attention to Yan's mother.
Those people knew how they treated Yan's mother during the special period. If Yan's mother brought up those things, their daughters would only become unhappy if they married Yan Yichen. The Ning family did so much, but they were still hated by Yan's mother, not to mention them.
"Put aside these thoughts for now." Old Madam Yan said, "You are looking for a partner for your son just after the engagement was cancelled. How will others see you? Will they see your son or our Yan family?"
"The engagement was cancelled yesterday, so what's wrong with finding him a partner today?" Yan's mother didn't think she did anything wrong.
Old Mrs. Yan glanced at Yan's mother coldly. No matter what she said, her daughter-in-law just wouldn't listen.
In the evening, Ning Jiaxuan stayed at Su Xueqing's place for dinner. When Ning Yanjing returned home, he saw Ning Jiaxuan.
"Cancel the engagement?" Ning Yanjing looked at Ning Jiaxuan.
"Yes." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Yan Yichen came here personally with his mother, saying that they had to come, otherwise his mother would be angry. They really know how to pick a day. Who do they think they are? Do they think I care about them?"
"It's better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. I told you it was cancelled earlier so you have to wait." Ning Yanjing said.
"You don't understand." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Sometimes maintaining an engagement for a period of time can bring other benefits."
For example, everyone knows how bad Yan's mother is. When her son was engaged, she still let him be with someone else; Yan's mother pretended to be crazy and stupid, and was ungrateful; Yan Yichen couldn't control his mother, he only indulged her...
"Why should the Yan family say more about our family?" Ning Jiaxuan said.
This engagement lasted for such a long time, and others could not say that the Ning family was not loyal, but only that the Yan family was getting more and more demanding, saying that the Yan family's factory was built and had orders, so the Yan family left Ning Jiaxuan alone. Those people would also say that Yan Yichen did not want others to say that he relied on Ning Jiaxuan, so he broke off the engagement early, and the Yan family had to rely on the relationship between the older generations of the two families and continue to use some of the Ning family's relationships.
"They are not worth sacrificing yourself for." Ning Yanjing said.
"I didn't put myself in danger." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I have discussed this with my sister-in-law. We know our limits and we won't be foolish enough to be bullied. You are by my sister-in-law's side, and she will discuss this with you."
"..." Ning Yanjing really didn't know how to say anything bad about Ning Jiaxuan. If he said something bad about Ning Jiaxuan, wouldn't it be the same as saying something bad about his newlywed wife?
"Eat." Su Xueqing picked up some food for Ning Yanjing.
"Are we going home after dinner?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Why are you staying here if you're not going back? To watch you guys show off your affection?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "I'm your biological sister, not a dog."
Su Xueqing also picked up some food for Ning Jiaxuan, "You can stay here."
"No." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When I was a child, I offended my younger brother, and he..."
"Ahem." Ning Yanjing coughed lightly, "You need to change this bad habit of yours. Stop always talking about things from your childhood."
"It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature." Ning Jiaxuan said, "The little brother in my childhood is no longer you? They say that to love someone, you have to understand him completely..."
"Eat, eat." Ning Yanjing said.
"Sister-in-law, I'll talk to you another day." Ning Jiaxuan said deliberately, "You and my brother have both obtained the marriage certificate and are tied together. What is there for my brother to be afraid of?"
"Okay, we'll talk about it another day." Su Xueqing chuckled.
After Ning Jiaxuan finished her meal, she went back, humming a little tune.
"I think she's very happy." Ning Yanjing said, "Before, I asked her to cancel the engagement early, but she wanted to wait."
"That's because she's thinking about you," Su Xueqing said, "not just thinking about herself."
Su Xueqing and Ning Jiaxuan are friends, and she understands what Ning Jiaxuan is thinking. Ning Jiaxuan doesn't want to be someone who only makes her family worry, and she also wants to help her family solve their problems.
At this time, Xu Ruyun learned that Yan Yichen had cancelled the engagement, and Yan Yichen took the initiative to tell Xu Ruyun. Yan Yichen was worried that there would be problems with the factory's orders, so he talked to the factory's partners and management to avoid subsequent problems. The engagement between Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan could indeed bring benefits to the factory, which was absolutely true.
"Our products had better be unique and not too easy to be imitated." Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun took the ferry back together. He told Xu Ruyun something, "They also have to be good-looking. Those people can't find these styles anywhere else, so they will naturally buy them from us."
