Chapter 65: Breaking off the Engagement]
"Who is Bo Mingze? There is a delivery for you."
The courier was holding a thin blue and white folder.
"It's me." Bo Mingze took it doubtfully.
When he saw that the sender wrote the housekeeper's name, he understood.
It is estimated that someone sent important documents to the house, so the housekeeper forwarded them to Huaxi Village.
But when he opened the file, it contained neither financial statements nor important contracts.
It's a newspaper.
The aunts from the "Village Intelligence Center" came over.
People nowadays rarely read newspapers, so the smell of ink may seem strange to them at first.
Bo Mingze unfolded the newspaper and saw a spot circled in red marker among the densely packed advertisements at the bottom of the page.
After seeing the title, he frowned.
Breaking off an engagement?
Before he could take a closer look, he heard his aunt's hearty laughter.
"People in the city are really interesting these days! I only knew there were marriage announcements, but I didn't expect there were also marriage cancellation announcements? Let me see, who are the two people who are breaking off the engagement?"
The eldest mother pointed at the newspaper and read out the following words one by one, "Announcement of Cancellation of Engagement - Qin Yiyang, daughter of the Qin family, cancels her engagement with Bo Mingze from today. I would like to inform relatives and friends and keep this as a souvenir."
"Let me check the time. Oh, it happened last week!"
Everyone: “!”
They subconsciously looked at Qin Yiyang and Bo Mingze, their eyes constantly scanning their faces.
Mrs. Bo snatched the newspaper and her head exploded when she saw the announcement of the divorce.
She whispered, "Xiao Ze, what's going on?"
Bo Mingze frowned and shook his head.
He doesn't know either.
On the side, the aunts didn’t know who the protagonist in the newspaper was (although the courier boy called out Bo Mingze’s name, they didn’t remember it either.)
The red-skirted lady commented, "This family's daughter broke off the engagement and still let her relatives and friends keep it as a commemoration. How happy!"
"It must be that boy surnamed Bo who bullied the girl, and her parents are not happy about it."
Aunt Pantou also joined the gossip group, "I would say this kid's last name is not a good one, it sounds like he is heartless and ungrateful!"
Bo Canyang:?
How come there is an accidental injury?
In the live broadcast room, the barrage had already exploded.
——【I was shocked. I saw the announcement of Qin Yiyang and Bo Mingze’s breaking off of their engagement! Were they engaged?】
——【Didn’t they say Qin Yiyang was a mistress? 】
——【Will it not be reversed?】
At that moment, Shen Yan was shocked after hearing the content in the newspaper.
The reason why she was fearless and splashed the dirty water on Qin Yiyang was because the engagement between Qin Yiyang and Bo Mingze was only a verbal engagement and there was no certificate.
Now out of nowhere there is a rumor about a couple cancelling their engagement in the newspaper. Isn't this a slap in their faces in public?
It's chaos, everything is chaos.
I didn't expect Qin Yiyang to be so scheming!
This made Shen Qingshan confused.
He scratched his head, "Yanyan, what's going on?"
Shen Yan opened her mouth, unable to think of anything to say.
An Rou calmed down and said gently, "I have a friend who works in a newspaper. The print media is in a slump right now. For example, you can get a wedding announcement or something else published in the newspaper for a small amount of money."
What this means is that the Qin family's notice of breaking off the engagement is invalid and there is no way to prove that Qin Yiyang and Bo Mingze were really engaged.
Yes!
Shen Yan was delighted.
He looked at Qin Yiyang with pity, "Yiyang, I didn't expect that you like Mingze so much that you even fabricated a non-existent marriage and published it in the newspaper."
Shen Qingshan understood!
He glanced at Mother Qin standing aside and said in a bad tone, "Boss Qin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you had focused on disciplining your daughter, she wouldn't have fantasized about getting engaged to a man and even published a notice in the newspaper to cancel the engagement!"
Mother Qin remained calm and said, "I recently heard a story about a wealthy businessman who had an affair with a beautiful nurse by his wife's bedside and gave birth to a daughter. When the daughter grew up, she also learned from her mother and liked to steal other people's men."
Shen Qingshan's face changed drastically!
Even An Rou's face turned pale.
They hid this matter very well, how did Qin Fengyi know about it?
Shen Qingshan touched his nose and said, "Boss Qin is sharp-tongued. I never bully women. Why do I have to tell you these hearsay stories and pollute your ears?"
"It's just a story. If Mr. Shen doesn't like to hear it, I won't tell it." Qin Fengyi smiled.
But she turned around and said, "However, since that beautiful nurse was able to seduce one man, she might be able to seduce a second one. It's hard to say who is the father of the child."
In an instant, a crack appeared on An Rou's hypocritical face.
What nonsense is this bastard Qin Fengyi talking about!
However, Shen Qingshan seemed to have been hit hard and subconsciously looked at Shen Yan.
Only then did he realize that his daughter was not like him.
It is said that sons take after their mothers and daughters take after their fathers.
But Shen Qingshan thought again and realized that he was not similar to his mother either.
Furthermore, his two sons do not look like him, and he does not look like his father.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe this is in their family genes.
As the party involved in the broken engagement, Qin Yiyang sat among her old sisters with her hands in her pockets, eating melons with a smile on her face.
[System, I just realized that Shen Zhaonan doesn't look like Shen Qingshan at all...ah, is there something fishy going on?]
The system gossiping voice came, [You guessed it!]
[Shen Zhaonan is not Shen Qingshan’s child, but Mrs. Shen’s first love.]
Qin Yiyang: [(⊙_⊙)]
System: [Mrs. Shen's marriage to Shen Qingshan was essentially a business marriage. She was forced to separate from her lover. In the third year of her marriage, Mrs. Shen learned of the death of her first love.]
[Mrs. Shen never recovered from this. She always dreamed of herself in a parallel world, where she was not a tool for family marriage, and could marry her lover, have children, and live an ordinary life.]
[One day, she remembered that her ex-boyfriend had participated in a sperm donation charity event.]
[So she bribed the sperm bank staff and got pregnant with her ex-boyfriend’s child through artificial insemination.]
Qin Yiyang screamed that it was exploding!
I originally thought that Mrs. Shen was the most pitiful and innocent, but I didn't expect her to carry the whole scene!
After hearing this, Qin Fengyi and Qin Mu also widened their eyes!
Shen Qingshan would never have imagined that his wife would be pregnant with a dead man's child.
The Qin family was immersed in the shock of eating melons.
When faced with the question of "a notice of cancellation of engagement cannot prove the authenticity of an engagement", no positive answer was given.
Some people on the Internet have already started to lead the trend, saying that Qin Yiyang is suffering from paranoia.
Bo Canyang couldn't stand it anymore and bumped Qin Yiyang's shoulder, "Didn't you hear Shen Yan slander you?"
Qin Yiyang seemed to have just woken up from a dream, with complicated eyes. When he looked at Shen Qingshan and Shen Zhaonan, he shook his head and sighed.
Shen's father and son: "?"
Qin Yiyang retracted his gaze and pointed at the newspaper, saying, "The announcement in the newspaper has legal effect. If any of you question its authenticity, you can find a lawyer to sue me."
"Whoever questions, whoever gives evidence, as long as you can prove that Bo Mingze and I were never engaged, I lose."
Qin Yiyang grinned, and the baby fat on his chin weakened the sharpness of his delicate facial features.
Everyone present was smart and realized the real purpose of the Qin family's announcement to cancel the engagement.
Once, they wanted the Qin family to prove the existence of this engagement relationship.
And now, the Qin family wants them to prove that this engagement relationship does not exist.
They instantly became the passive party.
An Rou and Shen Yan's expressions changed.
When did the Qin family become so sinister and cunning?
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The cell phone rang, breaking the silence.
Shen Zhaonan pressed the answer button and his face turned pale.
