"Uncle Han, I have no objection to Bai Lan wanting to break off our engagement. As for her wanting me to leave the grain station, if the leaders say I've neglected my duties and want to fire me, I will pack my things and go home immediately."
Song Qingbin spoke calmly, without a trace of dissatisfaction.
"What do you mean by annuling the engagement? That's impossible!"
Han's father waved his hand casually and said, "Your marriage with Lanlan is already arranged, and you're getting married before the New Year, so you can't say anything in anger."
With a sigh, Han's father continued, "It's because your aunt and I spoiled Lanlan too much, which made her temperamental. But believe me, Lanlan doesn't have any bad intentions; she's just a bit quick-tongued and easily offends people."
How about this? You take Lanlan to apologize to your sister later, and we'll let bygones be bygones..."
Seeing that Song Qingbin remained expressionless, Han's father stopped speaking. At this moment, Song Qingbin said, "Uncle Han, I should listen to you, but what Bai Lan said today made one thing clear to me. She is not satisfied with me. In that case, it would be better to call off the marriage between us, so that neither of us will be happy after the marriage."
"Don't listen to Lanlan's nonsense. If she wasn't satisfied with you, how could she have agreed to get engaged to you? Qingbin, girls sometimes like to be a little emotional. Why don't you try to think about it from a different perspective? The reason Lanlan argued with you like that was because she cares about you."
After listening to Song Qingbin's account, Han's father knew that the fault lay with his daughter, but to be honest, he couldn't accept watching his prospective son-in-law, Song Qingbin, fly away.
Therefore, he had to clear his daughter's name, hoping that Song Qingbin was just angry and said it casually, rather than being determined to cancel the marriage with their family.
"Uncle Han, I made it very clear to you earlier that after my sister declared that she was my younger sister, Bai Lan still wouldn't let it go, not only making things difficult for my sister, but also preventing her from leaving and demanding an explanation from me."
I really can't understand it. Although she and I are currently engaged, we haven't registered our marriage or held a wedding banquet. Did she really expect my sister to call her "sister-in-law" at the time? However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that Bai Lan wasn't bothered by the title "sister-in-law." She was purely hostile towards my sister and, at the same time, looked down on me from the bottom of her heart.
After a pause, Song Qingbin continued, "A forced marriage won't be happy, Uncle Han. Marriage is a major life event for everyone, and I don't want my wife to marry me against her will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han's father interrupted him: "What are you thinking? Who said Lanlan was only with you because she was reluctant? If she didn't like you, would she have spent several months with you, nodded in front of me and your aunt, and been willing to entrust her life to you?"
Uncle can tell you care about your sister and feel she was wronged today. Don't worry, when I get back, I'll definitely give Lanlan a good talking-to and make her sincerely apologize to your sister another day!
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin pursed his lips and did not respond. However, in Han's father's view, this clearly meant that Song Qingbin had taken his words to heart and was making concessions.
So he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said with a smile, "You're fine staying in the dorm, why don't you come to my house for a visit?" His purpose was quite obvious: he wanted Song Qingbin to ease the tension between him and Han Bailan.
Of course, it was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and since we had arrived at my future father-in-law's house, we had to have a meal.
After all, dinner time is just around the corner.
"No, thank you."
Song Qingbin shook his head and said, "I have a few clothes to wash."
Mr. Han paused for a moment, then continued to persuade him, "Take a shower after you come back from dinner."
"I want to read a book for a while."
Song Qingbin almost confirmed that he didn't want to go.
"……All right."
If Han's father still didn't understand Song Qingbin's meaning, he could only say that he had lived a wasted life. He smiled bitterly to himself and finally went home alone.
"How is it? By the way, where's Qingbin?"
Seeing Mr. Han walk into the kitchen, Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask a question.
With a long sigh, Han's father said, "That boy probably hasn't gotten over that mental hurdle yet, which is why he declined to come to our house."
"What obstacle? Is it just because Lanlan threw a tantrum in front of him?"
Han's mother was puzzled.
Han's father: "Lanlan's words to Qingbin were really unpleasant. Not only did she belittle him, but she also said that she only agreed to the engagement because of my feelings for you. She even took out all the words she had said to us on Qingbin."
Han's mother tentatively asked, "Do you want to annul the engagement or ask Lao Feng to fire Qingbin?"
Han's father nodded and then said, "Qingbin told me everything Lanlan said to him and his sister. At that time, I was almost ashamed. Why didn't Lanlan use her brain when she went out?"
When her temper flares up, she blurts out anything, belittling Qingbin and calling his sister a vixen. Besides these, Lanlan almost uttered something truly offensive.
"It's so offensive, is it really that bad?"
Han's mother's brows were almost furrowed.
"If Qingbin hadn't interrupted in time, once Lanlan said those words, even if Qingbin hadn't laid a hand on her, I think my sister-in-law would have definitely slapped Lanlan across the face."
Mr. Han sighed deeply: "Why is Lanlan so outrageous? It's one thing to call her sister-in-law a vixen, but she even dragged Qingbin into it."
"Tell me in detail, what was it that Lanlan didn't say?"
Mr. Han couldn't fathom what offensive things his daughter could say.
"The gist of it is... Lanlan is questioning Qingbin, asking if he's been bewitched by his vixen sister."
As Mr. Han finished speaking, Mrs. Han's lips trembled with anger: "She...she didn't just forget her brain when she went out. If you ask me, that brat has no brain at all! How could she come up with such a thought?"
"You're asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"
Han's father shook his head and said, "Anger is bad for your health. Things have already come to this point, what good will it do if you get angry again?"
Composing herself, Han's mother asked, "What is Qingbin's attitude now?"
"That kid was probably really hurt by Lanlan's words. He said that since Lanlan wanted to break off the engagement, then the marriage should be called off. He said that if he wanted to leave the grain station, all the leaders had to do was point out his mistakes at work, and he would pack his bags and leave immediately."
Seeing that Mr. Han was not joking, Mrs. Han became anxious: "Qingbin wants to break off the engagement?"
"It was our brat who wanted to break off the engagement; the other party simply didn't object!"
Mr. Han spoke without much emotion, but upon hearing this, Mrs. Han shook her head repeatedly: "No, I won't agree. Qingbin is such a good boy. No one can cause me any trouble now that he's our son-in-law!"
As she spoke, Han's mother was about to leave the kitchen.
Where are you going?
Han's father hurriedly asked.
"Go find that brat, and I'll wake her up!"
Han's mother responded.
"If her heart has changed, what's the use of killing her?"
