Yan Lin raised his eyes.
His gaze was fixed on Jiang Mingda and Gu Meiyun, making the two of them feel slightly uneasy.
Gu Meiyun forced a smile.
She pushed the tea that her aunt had brought toward him and said, "Manzhi is a bit of a handful, but girls naturally become more docile once they get married. She'll be a great help to you in the future."
Xu Manzhi is like a genetic mutation.
Her face was absolutely stunning, bearing no resemblance to the couple's features, avoiding their flaws. Her features were as smooth as jade, and her skin was as fair and radiant as the Jiang family's, unlike their dark complexion.
It was only because of her pretty and charming face that several bigwigs in the military region approved of the marriage.
His personality is just too bad.
She was also afraid that Yan Lin might hear any whispers and consider returning the goods.
Then it will all be for nothing.
Yan Lin looked bitter and said, "Your uncles and aunts have seen me like this. No ordinary girl could stand it. I'm not afraid of scaring you today, so I'm showing my true face. I want to tell you that this marriage was arranged by my uncles, and that's how I found out..."
He came specifically to break off the engagement.
"I've heard that Comrade Xu Manzhi is a good girl, beautiful, and she deserves a better man." He's not worthy.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingda immediately stood up.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Uncle Yan, don't be so modest. As the saying goes, a woman marries a man for food and clothing. You are a grown man. As long as you can manage a small family, why do you care about beauty or ugliness?"
"Yes, your Uncle Jiang is right."
Gu Meiyun also became anxious.
Breaking off the engagement is not an option.
The unruly girl is too troublesome; her scandals spread far and wide. She wishes she could pack up Xu Manzhi and send her to the Yan family tomorrow, so how could she bear to lose the lucrative military region?
After a long discussion, the Jiang family firmly refused to annul the engagement.
Yan Lin was helpless.
He decided to talk to Xu Manzhi in person next time. He believed that as long as she saw his ugly face, she would definitely start making a scene and demanding that the engagement be called off without him saying a word...
Thinking of this, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
With such an incredibly ugly face, any girl who marries him would be disrespectful to her and would suffer nightmares every day.
He didn't want to hurt anyone.
After Yan Lin left, Jiang Mingda hurriedly said to Gu Meiyun, "Don't make this a secret. If anyone asks, just say that your son-in-law came to visit, especially Xu Manzhi."
"I understand, I'm not stupid."
After the couple discussed it, Gu Meiyun suddenly asked, "I received a call from the Zhou family today. They were very polite and even asked us to take good care of their son. Could it be that our Pengyue has caught Zhou Xiangqun's eye?"
Jiang Mingda looked proud.
He glanced at his wife, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and laughed, "Don't you know who trained our Pengyue? Although she's not our biological daughter, she's better than ten Xu Manzhis."
"That's right, you can trust the ones you raise yourself."
