"Grandma Xi, it's been a long time." Wan Ge stepped forward and hugged her again.
The gift Rong Shu handed her after she was released.
Madam Xi looked at Rong Shu with a puzzled expression: "And who is this?"
Wan Ge happily introduced Rong Shu to Madam Xi: "This is my friend Rong Shu. I brought him along today. Grandma Xi, you don't mind, do you?"
"Grandma doesn't mind at all. It's rare that you're willing to bring your friend along."
Wan Ge handed the gift to Old Madam Xi: "I heard that you like Mr. Mo's paintings, so I specially found this for you."
"Master Mo's paintings are no longer available on the market. You must have put a lot of effort into finding them."
"It's all worth the effort to do anything for Grandma Xi." After all, she has been genuinely good to her. Wan Ge has never thought of going against the Xi family. Besides the fact that the Xi family hasn't done anything to her, Grandma Xi is a major factor in this.
Madam Xi sighed, glanced at Xi Jiangfeng standing with Shu Man not far away, and said to Wan Ge again, "When Xiao Feng's mother came back that day, she told me what you meant. Grandma supports you. Xiao Feng is not good enough for you."
She knew that Xi Jiangfeng would regret it someday, but she couldn't be so selfish as to ruin a girl's life just because her grandson might regret it later.
So when her daughter-in-law told her that day, Madam Xi had already made this decision.
She understood why Wan Ge had told her in advance: she wouldn't hold a grudge against their family because of this, and she didn't want the two families to have a bad falling out. That's why she told her in advance and made her understand her meaning.
…
"Thank you, Grandma Xi." Wan Ge hugged her.
Madam Xi patted the back of her hand and said, "Have one more meal with Grandma as your future granddaughter-in-law. After this meal, Grandma will announce the annulment of our marriage agreement."
“Okay.” Wan Ge didn’t expect that Old Madam Xi would want to announce this at her banquet.
…
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Madam Xi wanted to invite her grandson to the stage, but the maid told her that Shu Man was not feeling well and Xi Jiangfeng had taken her away early.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Madam Xi's eyes, and she finally shook her head helplessly.
He had already missed his last chance, so there was no need for her to worry about him so much. So, Madam Xi pulled Wan Ge onto the stage.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, many people in the audience whispered among themselves.
"Is Madam Xi bringing President Ye onto the stage to announce good news from both families?"
"But didn't I hear that Young Master Xi has fallen for another woman and is currently entangled with her?"
"She's just a woman who's not presentable. How could the Xi family possibly give up their marriage alliance with the Ye family because of a woman?"
"That's true."
As the people in the audience were saying this, the microphone on stage began to ring out.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I would like to announce that, starting today, the Xi family and the Ye family are officially dissolving their engagement."
When these words were spoken, the crowd, who were about to applaud, suddenly froze, and the audience fell silent.
But at this moment, Wan Ge's voice came again: "Although the Ye family has dissolved the engagement with the Xi family, the cooperation between the two families will not be canceled. The Xi family will always be a good partner of the Ye family."
After Wan Ge finished speaking, the audience realized what was happening and began to applaud.
Although they didn't expect the two families to break off the engagement, it seemed that Wan Ge didn't intend to cancel their cooperation. So the two families broke off the engagement, but didn't intend to confront each other.
However, the two families are old friends, and I heard that Madam Xi and Madam Mu, the grandmother of President Ye, are close friends. If the engagement is dissolved before the marriage, it won't be too ugly.
…
After stepping down from the stage, Madam Xi asked the bodyguard beside her, "How is it? Have you found out where the young master is now?"
"We've found it. Should we call the young master back now?"
Madam Xi sighed again: "Yes, tell him to go home quickly, and we should tell him about the annulment of the engagement."
"Grandma Xi, tell me his location and I'll go find him. I also have something to give him."
Madam Xi glanced at Wan Ge, and finally nodded: "Alright, it's good that you go and explain things to him. I'll have the bodyguard send you the address."
After taking a picture of the address displayed on the bodyguard's phone, Wan Ge left with Rong Shu.
