Chapter 262 Li Cheng's Double Standards (VI)
"Li Cheng, you should tell me the truth now, right?"
Shen Yun smiled.
Li Cheng looked puzzled, "What truth?"
"You said you didn't like her, but you didn't want to cancel the engagement. It's obvious that you're attracted to Yaoyao!"
Shen Yun's tone was extremely firm. No matter how he explained, she would not believe him anymore.
Li Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was truly his biological mother.
"It's not what you think..."
He originally thought that Shen Yun would interrupt him, but unexpectedly she didn't say anything at all, just waiting for him to continue.
Li Cheng felt under a lot of pressure and had to explain it carefully.
"If we announce the end of the engagement now, not only will I be in trouble, but Ye Yao will be in trouble too."
Shen Yun raised her eyebrows. This excuse was quite fresh.
"It's not just what those people outside will say. The incident with Liu Biao's three families happened not long ago. The reason why they let it go is mostly because Ye Yao is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. If she is not, will they be unscrupulous?"
Li Cheng's expression became serious. He postponed the announcement after careful consideration.
Shen Yun was indeed surprised, but she couldn't deny that what he said made sense.
"For me, Huang Ying is also in trouble. She wanted to break up the engagement even though I had one. If not, I really can't imagine what she would do.
Then it won’t be me who will be destroyed, but her!”
When mentioning Huang Ying, Li Cheng's voice became even colder.
"Xiaoying? No way?"
Shen Yun didn't seem to agree with this.
When a girl falls in love for the first time, even if she cannot succeed, she will get over it after a while.
Li Cheng sighed, "Mom, you don't know how crazy people like them can get."
Especially since he witnessed what happened to Wang Lanlan with his own eyes.
It is precisely because of this that he is so determined towards Huang Ying.
"People like them?"
Shen Yun's cheeks tightened, and she sensitively caught something from his words.
"Well, don't ask me. In fact, the current state between Ye Yao and I is the best we can maintain. Some things take time to fade away."
Li Cheng had no way of telling her the truth about Wang Lanlan, so he could only answer her like this.
Shen Yun never expected that so many things would be involved, and her expression became complicated.
"But, after all, you still have some feelings for Yaoyao, right?"
In the end, she still didn't give up and confirmed it with him again.
This time Li Cheng did not deny it immediately, "Mom, I really do have an urgent manuscript to write, please go out and buy some salt first.
I’m a little hungry too.”
Shen Yun: ...
Before she could ask further questions, Li Cheng had already returned to the house and closed the door.
…
On the way back, Ye Yao felt that something was wrong.
We had clearly agreed to break off the engagement in half a year, so why was it postponed for another three months?
In the past six months, she didn't want to be a coward and be discriminated against by everyone, but why did the Li family postpone it? It seemed that no reason made sense.
As she was thinking, she arrived at the doorstep of her home. The only thing she could be thankful for now was that the engagement had not been cancelled, so her mother no longer had to worry about finding another husband for her.
As soon as I entered the room, Zhang Qiufeng came to greet me.
"Has it been decided? What day? How do you want to say it?"
These days, she felt uneasy whenever she thought about this.
"Aunt Shen said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we should discuss this matter after the New Year..."
