"Brother Bairan, congratulations on finding such an outstanding son." Father Wei smiled politely and raised his glass to clink with Feng Bairan's.
Feng Bairan was genuinely happy and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you."
Father Wei then said cautiously, "The marriage between your son and my daughter Ruolan has been postponed for half a year. Brother Bairan, you must give us an explanation: will you cancel the engagement, or will you find someone else to continue the relationship? Right?"
"Both our families have pride, and it wouldn't be right to keep dragging this out and become a laughing stock for outsiders, would it?"
Feng Bairan's smile froze. He paused for a moment, then forced a smile. "Yes, yes, Brother Wei is right. It was my oversight that caused your daughter to suffer. It was my fault."
"Brother Wei's suggestion is not impossible; let me think about it."
Li Yaru's face darkened, she reached out and pinched Feng Bairan, and whispered in his ear, "Qi'er's life is still uncertain, how can you give the wife you promised to him to a bastard?"
"You may be shameless, but I still have a sense of shame."
Feng Bairan was annoyed, but dared not show it in front of outsiders. He could only suppress his anger, put on a smiling face, patted his wife's hand, and whispered to comfort her:
"Don't rush, let's discuss this in detail when we get home. We didn't say we had to decide right now. Look at your impatient temper!"
Seeing the discord between the couple, Mr. Wei smiled slightly, made an excuse, and left.
When Wei Ruolan saw her father go to see Feng Bairan, she didn't know what they were going to talk about, but guessed that it was about breaking off the engagement with Feng Qi, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Seeing that her father had left, Wei Ruolan went straight to him and asked him in a low voice what he had just said to Feng Bairan.
Mr. Wei repeated with a smile, "...This matter needs to be resolved eventually. It's not good to keep dragging it out. Dragging it out for too long won't be good for you either."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ruolan's expression changed drastically, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within her.
It's not that I don't want to, but I'm a little worried. Will this thing work out?
Seeing that Wei Ruolan's expression was a little off, the beautiful woman standing to the side smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Look at you, you've scared Ruolan. With Ruolan's looks, she can pick any young master in Jiangcheng she wants. Why does she have to hang herself on one tree and invite gossip?"
Mr. Wei looked at his daughter suspiciously, "Don't worry. Since you're unwilling, I certainly won't force you. I'll talk to Feng Bairan again."
Wei Ruolan's face turned bright red, and she quickly whispered, "I'm not unwilling!"
Mr. Wei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, “That’s good. I knew my eyes were never wrong when it came to choosing people.”
