Chapter 23: Successful Breakup
Hearing this, Meng Shanshan frowned and lowered her head, hesitant.
"Brother, forget it. My sister is the protagonist tonight. I can't be too ostentatious..."
Zhong Beichi was so emotional that he couldn't listen to any of this and just pulled her to change her clothes.
A rose gold fishtail dress with pearls on the chest and a very thin waistline. With every step she took, the hem of her skirt would gently touch the ground, making her whole body radiant.
This is a global limited edition dress that G house had just released a few days ago. She originally wanted to wear this dress, but because she was afraid of being criticized for stealing the limelight, she didn't know how to ask for it. Now that Zhong Beichi "forced" her to change into it, she couldn't help feeling proud.
She walked gracefully towards the meeting place. When she passed by the living room in the backyard, she heard the conversation inside and unconsciously slowed down her pace.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Zhong Shaoqing, Zhong's father and grandfather were all there, as well as a strange man with an extraordinary temperament.
But why does the profile look so... familiar?
She searched her mind for memories and suddenly covered her mouth.
Isn't this the man I met in the mall that day?
Through the crack in the door, a questioning voice came from inside.
"Are you sure you want to cancel the engagement?"
Mr. Zhong looked at the young man in front of him with a serious expression.
Mr. Zhong also had a tense face and looked unhappy.
Ji Sichen nodded apologetically: "Miss Zhong is still young, she will meet someone she really likes in the future, and she shouldn't be dragged down by family marriage.
He paused and added, "Please rest assured, the cooperation between the Zhong and Ji families will continue and will not be interrupted just because the marriage is cancelled. In addition, in order to compensate the Zhong family, I am willing to give up the East City project."
Hearing this, Zhong Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
The project in Dongcheng is worth tens of billions, and Ji Sichen is really willing to do so in order to cancel the engagement!
Well, it just so happens that my beloved sister isn't too happy about this marriage.
A forced melon is not sweet, and he didn't want to make his sister unhappy.
Father Zhong sighed and said, "Since you young people are unwilling, we as elders will not force you to do so. Let's work together to develop the project in Dongcheng."
He turned to Mr. Zhong and whispered, "When we proposed marriage a few days ago, the child...was not very willing."
When he thought of his daughter's expression now, he felt bad.
The reason I didn't cancel the engagement was because I was afraid that the Ji family would pursue the matter. Now that the Ji family has taken the initiative to propose it, why not do it?
How can he have trouble finding a husband for such a beautiful and smart daughter?
Master Zhong nodded: "Young people, you decide for yourselves."
Ji Sichen didn't expect that breaking off the engagement would be so easy. The depression in his heart disappeared instantly, and he responded with a faint smile: "Then I wish our two families a happy cooperation!"
Meng Shanshan's heart was pounding outside the door, and she tiptoed away.
It turns out that man is the world's richest man, Ji Sichen!
He is not the ugly man as rumored!
She thought of how he defended Ye Jinmo in the mall, and she felt jealous to the point of madness.
You came to cancel the engagement today because you knew that Ye Jinmo was the daughter of a poor family and you felt she was not worthy of him?
It must be like this. Since she can't be the only eldest daughter of the Zhong family, then she wants to be the only Mrs. Ji!
Thinking of this, Meng Shanshan raised her head proudly and walked to the venue with elegant steps.
Zhong Beichi, who was not far away, brightened his eyes and walked over quickly.
"Shanshan, you are so beautiful!"
"Thank you, second brother! But please don't praise me. The protagonist today is Sister Jinmo. She will be unhappy if she knows."
Hearing this, Zhong Beichi immediately became unhappy and complained: "I don't care whether she is happy or not, you are the sister who grew up with me! She ran away from home a while ago, and came back so late today. My parents and eldest brother are still tolerant and allow her to be so excessive!"
"Shh," Meng Shanshan made a silent expression and tugged at his sleeve, "Second brother, keep your voice down. It's not good for these things to get out. And if grandpa knew about it, he would be angry!"
She sighed: "I hope my sister will be more sensible after the party."
"So our whole family has to accommodate her?" Zhong Beichi's expression became even uglier, and his tone was filled with impatience.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw the Ye family walking towards her quickly.
Mrs. Zhong, who was in the lead, said flatteringly: "Miss, you look so beautiful today!"
Zhong Beichi looked at them in confusion, and Meng Shanshan whispered in his ear.
He frowned, unable to conceal his disgust.
He feels annoyed by anyone who is close to Ye Jinmo, not to mention her adoptive parents!
One look at his fawning look, and it's nothing more than a desire to get close to the Zhong family, out of vanity!
Ye Shuran stood behind her parents. Seeing the impatient look on the face of the Second Young Master Zhong, she hurriedly tugged at her mother's sleeve.
"mom……"
She took a few steps forward and said, "Miss, I'm sorry to bother you."
Having said that, she pretended to leave, pulling her parents away.
I observed the Second Young Master's expression as I walked, and sure enough, he seemed a lot less irritable.
Zhong Beichi looked at Ye Shuran with some appreciation, and then said, "Shanshan, I'll go over there!"
As soon as he left, Mother Zhong pulled back her arm, her face full of amazement: "As expected of you, you are the eldest lady. No one in the capital can compare to your temperament!"
Mr. Zhong also responded.
Meng Shanshan felt much better after listening to their compliments.
She is the most beautiful tonight!
Ye Shuran's target was not her. She looked around but could not see the eldest young master of the Zhong family. Her goal in coming here tonight was to make the eldest young master Zhong fall in love with her!
After a brief greeting, she wandered around aimlessly and unknowingly ended up in the backyard.
Under the flower hall, there is a figure wearing a blue princess dress.
It turned out to be Ye Jinmo!
The whole person is surrounded by broken diamonds, sparkling under the light and moonlight, so beautiful that it makes people speechless.
Where did she get such beautiful clothes?
No, if Young Master Zhong falls in love with Ye Jinmo tonight, what chance does she have?
Thinking of this, she picked up the wine glass held by a passing servant.
"Sister, why are you here?"
As soon as Ye Jinmo put down the phone, she heard a female voice behind her.
She glanced at Ye Shuran coldly and took a detour to leave.
Ye Shuran stood in front of her, with a worried tone: "My parents are at the venue. I don't know where you borrowed the clothes from. Miss Zhong is the protagonist tonight. If you steal the show like this, you will completely annoy the Zhong family. What will happen to our Ye family's business?"
As she spoke, she took Ye Jinmo's hand and said, "Come on, go to the car with me and change your clothes. Wear my spare dress."
"I said, I have nothing to do with the Ye family. If you want to restore our cooperation, stay away from me!" Ye Jinmo broke free impatiently, lifted her skirt and prepared to leave.
Ye Shuran looked like she was about to cry: "Sister, why are you so ignorant?"
"Get out!" Ye Jinmo pushed her away.
The next second, Ye Shuran seemed to be tripped by something, and her whole body leaned backward. The arm that she pushed was raised up, and her hand loosened, and the wine glass flew in the air in a parabola.
She took a few steps back in horror, not forgetting to pull Ye Jinmo, and watched as the wine glass was about to fall on the huge blue skirt.
"Be careful, sister!"
