What should have been a joyous and lively engagement party ended in discord.
After Fu Hanzheng and Gu Weiwei left, Qin Man also left, and even Old Master Qin and Madam Qin left as well.
Meng Ruya sat there crying, looking so wronged that it didn't seem like she had done anything wrong, but rather like she had suffered a great injustice.
Mrs. Meng saw off the Meng family's relatives and handed her daughter a tissue, saying...
"Alright, stop crying. Now we need to figure out how to raise that much money."
If she had known this would happen, she would have stopped her from secretly renting the Fu family's dress no matter what.
But after looking at so many, she didn't like any of them, except for that one.
Knowing that it was a formal dress from the Fu family, she tried to dissuade her, but she was determined to have it.
She figured this was her engagement party, and since the Fu family and the Qin family were no longer in contact, she figured she could just borrow it for a few hours and the Fu family wouldn't notice.
Unexpectedly, Fu Hanzheng and Mu Weiwei were also attending a business dinner at this hotel.
Moreover, they hadn't even recognized the disguised Mu Weiwei, which led to the situation getting out of control.
Now the Qin family is greatly disappointed in Ruya, and the sisters-in-law who previously envied their marriage to the Qin family are now laughing at them for making a fool of themselves.
Meng Ruya wiped away her tears. "Where would I get that much money?"
She had just impulsively decided to buy it, but if she really wanted to, she simply couldn't afford that much money.
If this dress isn't bought, the Fu family will humiliate us in every way.
But having spent so much money to buy it, every time she sees it, she'll be reminded of what happened today.
Mrs. Meng sighed, "You should ask Qin Lang for a solution. After all, the engagement is finalized."
Moreover, it's not like the Qin family can't afford this amount of money.
Meng Ruya nodded gently, "Mom, you should go back now."
Mrs. Meng and Qin Lang walked toward Qin Lang, who was seeing off the Qin family's guests, and said helplessly.
"Qin Lang, Ruya didn't mean to offend the Fu family. Girls love to look pretty, and she really liked that dress. Luckily, Manager Wang was willing to rent it to us, so we rented it, thinking we could save some money on the dress."
But in the end, they lost more than they gained.
Qin Lang's expression was cold, clearly still somewhat angry, but he still maintained proper etiquette in front of others.
"I see."
"Then I'll head back now. You spend some quality time with Ruya," Mrs. Meng said before leaving.
Everyone else had left, leaving only Qin Lang and Meng Ruya in the vast Peony Hall.
Meng Ruya poured a glass of water and brought it to Qin Lang. "Are you angry?"
"Ruya, I always thought you were a gentle and well-mannered girl, but what happened today has not only disappointed my mother, but also me," Qin Lang said in a deep voice, controlling his emotions.
"I really know I was wrong. I just thought the dress was so beautiful, and Manager Wang said he could rent it to me, so I didn't think much of it," Meng Ruya explained softly.
Qin Lang stared at her intently, as if trying to discern something from her.
"Is it that you're after that dress, or are you still resentful that Mu Weiwei married Fu Hanzheng?"
"Qin Lang, I love you now, how can you say that?" Meng Ruya asked, her eyes welling up with tears.
Of course she was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do about it.
However, she couldn't admit this resentment to Qin Lang.
