Mrs. Xu was obviously not satisfied with this answer. She showed a troubled expression again and said, "This marriage was arranged by your mother and I. Now she has passed away. If I cancel the engagement unilaterally, wouldn't it make me look too cold and heartless? How can I face your mother in the future?"
Mrs. Xu became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice began to choke up. In the end, she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"So what exactly do you think?" Shen Chengzhi's tone did not sound friendly, and even contained a hint of accusation and coercion.
"Are you going to force your son to marry my younger sister?" He looked directly into Mrs. Xu's eyes without flinching, as if he wanted to see through her surface to her true thoughts deep in her heart.
Shen Chengzhi stood steadily in front of Madam Xu, his figure as straight as a pine tree, exuding a firm and inviolable aura. At the same time, he also protected his sister tightly behind him, as if he was afraid that someone would hurt her.
"I have absolutely no such intention!" Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed and awkward.
Shen Chengzhi frowned, showing obvious displeasure on his face, and his tone became more and more anxious: "Then may I ask what is Madam's intention? How should this matter be handled? You specially invited us here today, don't you want to discuss the cancellation of the engagement?"
Mrs. Xu, whose secret was exposed, looked unnatural in an instant, and her eyes began to flicker, as if she had something to hide and seemed a little guilty.
Today, they should have cancelled their engagement in accordance with their son and husband's wishes.
However, facing this little girl who was becoming more and more like Jun'er, Mrs. Xu felt a little reluctant deep in her heart. She really couldn't bear to let such a lovely girl go and just wanted to keep her by her side.
Even if it's just leaving a trace of longing.
More importantly, it is still unknown what kind of person the son brought back from outside is.
In comparison, having a well-behaved and gentle girl by your side is always better than those wild flowers and weeds whose details you don’t know.
So, Madam Xu mustered up her courage and said, "I hope that after Chen'er marries his wife, he can also take Jinjin as his concubine."
Before he finished speaking, the little girl who had been hiding behind Shen Chengzhi suddenly rushed out.
"I would rather die than be a concubine!" Shen Jinjin was so angry that her face turned red, and her voice trembled with anger. It was obvious that she was very angry.
"Jinjin, that's not what your aunt meant. I just want you to enter as a concubine for the time being. When you give birth to a child in the future, I will definitely convince Chen'er to make you his second wife." Madam Xu hurriedly explained, trying to calm Shen Jinjin's anger.
"I am a concubine, Madam Xu, and there is no need to speak so pompously! If you really still care about the past relationship with my mother, you should have written down this letter of withdrawal of engagement early today!"
Shen Chengzhi looked at the woman in front of him solemnly, and every word he spoke was resounding and powerful.
"My nephew Chengzhi, your aunt has absolutely no such intention! Your aunt loves Jinjin from the bottom of her heart, and your aunt really wants to keep her by your side... As long as your aunt is here..."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly explained, but she was interrupted mercilessly by Shen Chengzhi before she finished speaking.
"Humph! Our Shen family is a small family, and we cannot possibly marry into a prestigious family like your Xu family! I hope Madam Xu will show mercy and let my sister go, so that she can find another good husband and avoid missing out on her lifelong event!"
"Jinjin, don't you really want to spend the rest of your life with your aunt? Your aunt has been living alone in this huge house for more than 20 years. Now, finally there is a caring person like you who can chat with your aunt. How can you be so cruel to abandon your aunt? Wuwuwu..."
Seeing that she could not persuade the two men with any soft or hard persuasion, Mrs. Xu simply leaned back in a chair beside her and burst into tears, trying to gain sympathy by using a self-torture tactic.
"Mrs. Xu, it was you and my mother who made the marriage contract for me and my son! Now you and your son are the ones who are getting fatter because of the breach of your promise, but I don't feel any guilt. Even if my mother were here today, I'm sure she would agree with the decision my brother and I made."
"All I want in this life is to find a true lover who will stay with me till old age. The love I hope for is just to treat each other with respect and love. A 'beautiful boy' like your son is really not worthy of me."
Shen Jinjin had made up her mind to cancel the marriage. As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the wedding invitation and token of love that the two families had exchanged when they were engaged.
When Mrs. Xu saw the two of them throwing the engagement invitation and token of love directly onto the table, she immediately realized that they were really determined to end this marriage this time.
There was no point in saying more at this point, and Mrs. Xu had no choice but to silently take out the letter of withdrawal of engagement that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve.
After Shen Chengzhi glanced at the letter of withdrawal of engagement, he was furious. He saw that every word on it was an insult and slander to his sister.
In a rage, he took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket, and wrote a divorce letter in a few strokes! !
The moon is bright and the wind is clear, and I write this letter to my sister with a sincere heart. However, what I write is not about love affairs, but the heroic act of divorcing my husband.
This engagement was made by our elders. In the past, our two families made the engagement and thought we could have a happy marriage, but we didn't expect that there would be talk of canceling the engagement today.
Your eldest son has a bad character, plays with life, and is unruly. He picks flowers with his hands, flirts with women with his body, and has a dissolute appearance. Before getting married, he has been secretly communicating with others and sharing his innermost feelings with them.
Such a person with such bad deeds is not a good match for my sister. As a brother, how can I sit idly by and watch my sister be misled by the wrong person? Therefore, I write this letter of divorce on behalf of my sister to correct the family tradition.
From now on, the relationship between you and me ends here. You can marry another beautiful woman and we will have nothing to do with each other.
I am willing to sign this divorce agreement, so that they can remarry and never have any disputes. I am afraid that there will be no evidence in the future, so I voluntarily sign this agreement as a reference.
Best wishes to you.
Sincerely,
Eldest brother: Shen Chengzhi
Shen Chengzhi's actions directly offended the Xu family.
Shen Chengzhi threw down the divorce letter and took his sister away from the Xu family mansion.
