Wow!
What kind of logic is this?
Yan Yirou glanced at the others with a cold expression, and finally her gaze fell on Yan Yixuan.
"First, I don't blame you for having poor taste. You're the one who's throwing yourself at Ji Xianli. Don't make it sound like everyone else would be interested in him."
Secondly, Gu Chenye and I met through Wu Bao's introduction, so if anyone should thank someone, it's Wu Bao.
This is like a broken bridge, and nobody uses it. You don't want to take the long way around, so you insist on walking on the bridge and fall into the water. Then you shamelessly expect others to thank you. Do you think that's possible? You clearly made a stupid mistake, but you want others to take responsibility? Who's that idiot?
Yan Yirou felt much better after saying that.
It's not that she doesn't want to portray sisterly affection, but rather that Yan Yixuan is just making trouble for no reason. She can't keep suppressing her feelings forever, can she?
If she doesn't refute it now, tomorrow everyone will be saying that her marriage to Gu Chenye was all thanks to Yan Yixuan.
She can just listen to it and let it go, but does she have to let these words offend her family?
Yan Yirou showed no mercy whatsoever, especially with her final metaphor, which tore away the fig leaf, leaving the dining room in complete silence.
Yan Yixuan gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Yan Yirou.
How could Yan Yirou say such a thing about her?
"If I hadn't interfered, Grandma would have already arranged for you to marry into the Ji family, I..."
"Enough!"
Madam Yan interrupted her granddaughter with a stern rebuke.
She thought the second son's family was reasonable, but she never expected such a scandal to happen at the banquet, which became known to everyone!
Is she trying to scheme to get the Gu family to marry her daughter?
She doesn't even look at what kind of person her daughter is!
Even if they slept together, what could the Gu family do if they refused to marry?
Anyone with eyes can see whose scheme this is!
If they had succeeded, she could have praised the second son's family for being reliable, but now they had been outmaneuvered by some unknown junior, and the Yan family had been utterly disgraced by the mother and daughter!
The more Madam Yan thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked at her second son and his wife with a stern face and said, "I invited you to dinner tonight not so you could complain about this or that. Do you really think nobody knows what you're thinking?"
Before Madam Yan could retort, the old lady continued, "Rou is the eldest daughter of our Yan family. She is excellent in both appearance and character. She is upright and has the confidence to choose people, instead of relying on some low-class means. Do you understand?"
In front of the eldest son's family, Madam Yan was told by her mother-in-law that she was low-class. Her face turned pale and then red, and she was so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to die.
Tears welled up in Yan Yixuan's eyes like a spring.
Master Yan's hands were itching again; he wanted to hit someone!
The first wife and her husband had long seen through what kind of people the second son's family were, and they didn't want to pay any attention to them. They treated themselves as background figures, eating and drinking as usual, as if they were not affected in the slightest.
After looking around, Madam Yan sighed and said, "Now I'll ask you one last time: Is the Zeng family reliable? And does Xuan'er want to marry into the family?"
Regardless of what was promised at the banquet, the Yan family has already lost face; they can't afford to make themselves miserable as well.
Speaking of this, Madam Yan knew that her mother-in-law was mostly concerned, so she said with relief, "I asked my family to investigate. The Zeng family is a prominent family in Xizhou City. The current head of the family is Zeng Chengxian's father. He is probably plotting for the position of head of the family. If Xuanxuan marries him, she will become the head of the family's wife."
Yan Yixuan had already heard her mother analyze the pros and cons, and she was willing to marry Zeng Chengxian.
A change of environment would mean she wouldn't have to see those people gossiping behind her back.
Furthermore, the Zeng family is developing rapidly, and perhaps one day they will trample the Ji family underfoot. When that happens, she will make Ji Xianli's mother taste the humiliation!
At this moment, intense hatred burst forth in Yan Yixuan's eyes.
Yan Yirou noticed her gaze and carefully remembered it.
Madam Yan was not surprised by the second son's family's decision. No matter what the Zeng family was like, as long as her eldest granddaughter married into the Gu family, the Yan family would not fall. In the future, they could have several children, and one of them could inherit the Yan family business.
"So, when do you plan to set the wedding date?"
Before Madam Yan could speak, Yan Yixuan declared, "New Year's Day! I want to get married on New Year's Day!"
Yan Yirou frowned upon hearing this. She was getting married on New Year's Day, and Yan Yixuan also wanted to get married on New Year's Day. Was this intentional?
Madam Yan, who had been relegated to the background, put down her chopsticks and objected, "No way!"
That was her daughter's wedding day, and she couldn't let anything dirty ruin the joy of the day.
However, Yan Yixuan shouted, "I want to get married on New Year's Day!"
She was getting married and returning to her parents' home on the same day; she just wanted to annoy Yan Yirou!
So what if Yan Yirou married into the Gu family? She's still living like a widow all year round. She's different; she gets to see her husband every single day!
Just thinking about it made Yan Yixuan feel much better. She put on a provocative smile and looked at Yan Yirou.
Yan Yirou chuckled speechlessly: You're sick!
Suddenly, Madam Yan stood up: "I'm making this clear today, your second branch of the family either changes the date, or the Yan family has a first branch, not a second branch!"
Yan Yixuan's smile froze instantly.
Madam Yan's eyes flickered, and she asked incredulously, "Sister-in-law, are you saying this to get back at my husband and me?"
Madam Yan looked at her indifferently, knowing that she was trying to sow discord between her and her mother-in-law, openly instigating one son to turn against the other, showing no kindness, compassion, or tolerance befitting an elder sister-in-law.
But so what?
They've even started bullying her daughter. Does she expect her to just stand by and watch her daughter suffer?
"It's just drawing a line. From now on, the eldest and second branches of the Yan family will have no relation to each other, and we will move out!"
