As soon as Jin Ruoxi left, Lan Yanfeng entered Lan Ziye's room.
"What's the matter? Didn't you reach an agreement?" Lan Yanfeng asked with great concern.
"What can I talk about with her? She is just a white lotus, the kind of white lotus that is not likable at that!" Lan Ziye said unhappily.
"No matter what, she is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Jin family, and we must always give her the face she deserves!" Lan Yanfeng sighed.
"Did the head of the family ask you to come?" Lan Ziye suddenly asked.
Lan Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, then said earnestly, "The Patriarch has considered much more than you do! Our Lan family cannot completely break away from the Jin family. Strictly speaking, the five major families are of the same blood and no one can break away from the other!"
Lan Ziye raised his head, looked at Lan Yanfeng, and said seriously: "She came to make a deal with me. She said that as long as I break off the engagement with Chu Xixuan and have no further contact with Chu Xixuan, she will guarantee that the Jin family will not pursue the matter of Xiaoqi!"
"Has her brain been squeezed by the door? How dare she propose such a shameless deal?" Lan Yanfeng instantly became furious and said indignantly.
Lan Ziye shrugged and said, "So the talks broke down!"
"Don't worry. When it comes to major issues, our Lan family stands firm and is not afraid of any family. I will report this to the head of the family right away!" Lan Yanfeng said, then turned around angrily and hurried out of Lan Ziye's house.
Lan Ziye sighed helplessly, feeling a wave of sorrow in her heart! Even when her own legitimate son was beaten, they still discussed it for half a day. Yet, a small threat to her marriage became the "right" in the midst of major issues. No wonder the Lan family had fallen so far!
Jin Ruoxi felt very uncomfortable at this moment. She knew that Lan Ziye would refuse. Negotiation was not that easy, but she did not expect that the Lan family was in such a situation now. Lan Ziye dared to refuse so directly and did not even give her a chance to maneuver.
She had even planned that if Lan Ziye continued to deal with her, she would record their conversation and pass it on to Brother Chu to sow discord between them! Now, there was no need to record it anymore.
Jin Ruoxi sat in her car in silence for more than half an hour. She picked up the phone and called Chu Yu.
She and Chu Yu met in a coffee shop not far from the Chu family. Jin Ruoxi said straight to the point, "Find an excuse to go back and accompany Grandpa Chu!"
"But grandpa didn't ask me to go?" Chu Yu was a little embarrassed.
She has endured it for so many years and doesn't want to be hated by her grandfather now!
Even if she wanted to visit Grandpa, she had to call first to schedule an appointment. She couldn't just go there rashly! ???
Jin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Then go back to the Lan family under the pretext of caring about and worrying about Lan Ziye! I don't think Grandpa Chu will dislike you."
"Concerned, worried about Lan Ziye? What does that mean?" Chu Yu was a little confused.
"Anyway, just say whatever I tell you to say when you get back!" Jin Ruoxi said seriously, "I still say the same thing. The day Chu Xixuan and I get married is the day you return to the Chu family!"
Chu Yu has become immune to the lies that are told to her all day long and is somewhat nonchalant.
Jin Ruoxi naturally saw Chu Yu's reluctance, and she was even more indignant. Ever since she learned that Chu Xixuan and Lan Ziye were engaged, even Chu Yu, who only knew how to curry favor with her and depend on her for support, had been perfunctory in her attitude!
She had to let everyone know that there could only be one mistress of the Chu family, and that was Jin Ruoxi.
