Chapter 71 Decisive Rejection
Zhao Xianrou stood at the stairs on the second floor, and her hoarse and firm voice reached the ears of everyone present.
Zhou Mengyu immediately stood up and walked to the stairs, helped Xianrou downstairs, and sat opposite Yang Jun and Pu Li.
Zhao Xianrou looked very bad, her face was pale and she had serious dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well. Her hair was casually tied behind her head. She was wearing pink home clothes, which made her skin look even more unhealthy.
Pu Li was a little embarrassed at this time. After all, she had hinted in front of others before that Xianrou wanted to use this inferior means to enter the Yang family. Now Xianrou had rejected this proposal before she opened her mouth.
"Xianrou, I was just anxious when I spoke before, please don't mind it! Ziyi is also a victim, he did that because he was controlled by drugs."
Puli explained softly.
"Aunt, it has already happened and the damage has been done. This cannot be erased with just one sentence. I know that Yang Ziyi is not the culprit, but I don't want to face him again. When I think of what happened that day, I feel like I'm falling into an abyss."
As she spoke, her slender body trembled.
Zhou Mengyu immediately stretched out his arms, put his arms around her slender and thin shoulders, patted her gently to comfort her, and then glanced at Pu Li indifferently.
“.”
"Xianrou, what do you want us to do so that you can forgive Ziyi?"
Yang Jun couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, I don't blame Ziyi, I just want to forget all this as soon as possible."
"But, our two families have an agreement."
“I’m sorry, but it will definitely not be me who will fulfill the promise.
Before this, because of the agreement between our two families, I thought Ziyi would be the most suitable partner for me. But first, I was taken away by mistake, and now this kind of thing has happened to us again. If I still insist on being with Ziyi after this, I will feel that I am too cheap.
In the eyes of those who don't know, I am a woman who used tricks to keep her engagement. In your eyes, I am not your first choice of marriage partner. I am just someone you need to appease for the sake of face. If that's the case, why should I force myself? If I have to settle accounts, I will find the person who planned all this behind the scenes."
After Xianrou finished speaking, she turned to face Zhao Fenglin and said:
"Dad, please send me abroad! I don't want to stay in the Magic City. I don't want to stay here anymore."
After saying this, his eyes turned red.
"Good boy, go and have some rest! When you recover, I will send you abroad. It's up to you to choose where to go."
Zhao Fenglin said with a calm expression.
Zhou Mengyu nodded to Yang Jun and his wife opposite with a serious face, then helped Xianrou back to the room, leaving the three people in silence.
Especially Yang Jun and his wife. They had thought that persuading Zhao Xianrou was a sure thing. As long as she agreed, they could temporarily arrange an engagement, thus covering up the mistake made by their son. But now it seems impossible to achieve.
"Mr. Zhao, look"
"If the child doesn't want to, I will never force her. When she recovers, I will send Xianrou abroad for recuperation and psychological treatment. As for the verbal engagement between the Zhao and Yang families, let's end it here!"
"Ripple Child"
Puli said without giving up.
Zhao Fenglin's eyes sharpened, he looked at the other party and said in a deep voice:
"Lian Yi is not lucky enough to be a member of the Yang family. After all, she didn't grow up by my side. Her upbringing is average. Being my daughter is great, but being my daughter-in-law is not so good.
What's more, she grew up with her biological parents. Do you think the Wu family would be willing to let Lianyi and Ziyi be together if their biological daughter was hurt like this?"
This was equivalent to telling Puli directly that she was just daydreaming.
Having said that, there was no need to continue. Yang Jun said goodbye at the right time, still gratefully saying:
“Although Xianrou cannot become a member of the Yang family, I am still grateful to her for not pursuing Ziyi’s faults. We are old friends, and we should still visit each other often in the future.
I recently heard that the north of the city is going to expand, and the land prices will increase. If you have some spare funds, you can buy two plots of land."
Before leaving, Yang Jun said the most crucial sentence.
After hearing this, Zhao Fenglin's eyes flashed, and he nodded quickly, and politely sent the couple away.
Puli held it in all the way home, threw her bag on the sofa, sat down, and said disdainfully:
"What the hell, she really thinks she's a big shot. I've already given her a lot of face by agreeing to her being with Ziyi, but she actually dared to refuse. She really doesn't know what's good for her!"
"Alright! Can you say less? Everything is ruined by your words. If you hadn't said that sentence that day, maybe this matter could still be accomplished. You said in front of others that she used tricks to make Ziyi accept the marriage proposal, and Xianrou knew that you didn't like her!
She is not a fool. Although she is not the Zhao family's biological daughter, she was also raised by the Zhao family with great care. How can she be willing to be angry with you? Although Ziyi did something wrong for a reason, it is still a crime! And with Zhao Fenglin's intelligence, it is more beneficial to the Zhao family to refuse than to accept!"
After being interrupted by Yang Jun, Pu Li fell silent and asked in a low voice:
"So what should we do now? The incident has already happened, and Ziyi will definitely be affected. This will have a very bad impact on his future development."
"Of course I know, that's why I sent a big gift to the Zhao family. I hope they will not make this matter public for the sake of this gift. Even if people around know about it, as long as the Zhao family doesn't admit it, no one will say anything to Ziyi."
"Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell?"
Puli said dissatisfiedly.
"Then do you have a better idea?"
“.”
Puli stalled instantly.
Just then Yang Ziyi opened the door and walked out of his room. Seeing his parents there with no smiles on their faces, he knew that things were not going well.
"Dad, Mom, you're back!"
"Ziyi, how has your recovery been these past two days?"
Puli stepped forward nervously and asked.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm almost recovered!"
After Yang Ziyi sat down, he glanced at his father, rubbed his fingers, and then said:
"Things aren't going well? Mr. Zhao doesn't agree?"
"It's Xianrou who disagrees."
Pu Li answered her son's question before Yang Jun spoke, and told him about how she and her husband came to visit.
“But she has always been kind to me.”
Yang Ziyi said with difficulty.
"Kid, that's different."
This time it was Yang Jun who shook his head and sighed.
"I understand. If she really wants to take legal action, I will bear the responsibilities that I should bear."
Yang Ziyi lowered his head and clenched his fists, saying that he could not let his father be implicated because of his own mistakes.
"Silly child, you are our only son, we will naturally consider you. Besides, the responsibility for this incident is not entirely on you, there is no reason for you to bear it alone. You are also a victim, if you want to settle the score, you should go to the Wei family!"
Puli immediately spoke up to comfort her.
