Chapter 2942 Broken Engagement
When I arrived at the Chu family, Chu Zhaofeng, Mrs. Chu and Chu Jianan were all there.
When he saw Chu Jianan, Leng Yecheng had an urge to go up and punch him, but he was not an impulsive person after all, so he held back.
When Chu Jianan saw them, he was anxious because he couldn't wait to cancel the engagement with Leng Xiaoyao.
However, when he saw Leng Xiaoyao, Chu Jianan's expression turned ugly. He already hated Leng Xiaoyao very much, especially after being slapped twice and kicked by Leng Xiaoyao yesterday, he hated him even more, and even hated Leng Xiaoyao.
But now, in order to cancel the engagement and avoid unnecessary complications, he can only endure it for the time being.
Besides, even if he wanted to take action, he might not be able to do anything to Leng Xiaoyao.
When Leng Xiaoyao saw Chu Jianan, her expression did not change at all. Although she remembered Chu Jianan's hatred in her heart, she just kept it in her heart and did not express it easily.
Although they already knew the purpose of Leng Changyuan and his group's visit, after Leng Changyuan and his group arrived and asked them to sit down, Chu Zhaofeng pretended not to know and asked, "Uncle Leng, I wonder what Uncle Leng wants to discuss with me!"
"Zhaofeng! What about us? Let's be frank. I know that Yaoyao of our family has a bad temper. She just makes trouble all day long and is very disliked by others, especially Jianan. So, I don't want to force anything. Now Yaoyao has thought it through and took the initiative to cancel the engagement. So, let's just cancel the engagement!" Leng Changyuan said directly.
Although Chu Zhaofeng already knew it, he still pretended to be surprised when he heard Leng Changyuan's words: "Uncle Leng, this..."
However, Chu Zhaofeng wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.
“Although it was the elders’ idea when the engagement was made and the younger generations didn’t know about it, so it’s normal for Jianan to dislike Yaoyao. But as a human being, sometimes you can’t ignore morality just because you don’t like or agree with someone. Jianan clearly had an engagement with Yaoyao, but he ignored the engagement and the face of both parties and got entangled with Yuqi. This is not only a humiliation to Yaoyao, but also a humiliation to the Leng family. Of course, it takes two to tango, so I, Leng Changyuan, am ashamed to have such a shameless granddaughter who is entangled with her cousin’s fiancé. So, even if Yaoyao and Jianan broke off the engagement, Yuqi and Jianan’s relationship might not work out.” Leng Changyuan said.
"Why not?"
Hearing this, Chu Jianan became anxious and asked unconvincedly.
Since he has broken off the engagement with Leng Xiaoyao, why can't he be with Yuqi? "The upper class of Changshi knows about the engagement between the Leng family and the Chu family. If Yaoyao breaks off the engagement with you and Yuqi is with you, then everyone will know that Yaoyao broke off the engagement because you were with Yuqi. If you are with someone else, I don't care, but if you are with Yuqi, my Leng family can't afford to lose face." Leng Changyuan said.
Yes, considering that Leng Xiaoyao and Chu Jianan have canceled their engagement, Leng Changyuan also doesn't want Leng Yuqi and Chu Jianan to be together anymore.
But it’s not because of any face, I just want to vent my anger for Leng Xiaoyao.
Leng Xiaoyao didn't care that Leng Changyuan was with Leng Yuqi after he broke off the engagement with Chu Jianan, but since Leng Changyuan wanted to protect him and vent his anger for him, Leng Xiaoyao certainly wouldn't interrupt.
He can handle it however he wants, she just needs to break off the engagement with Chu Jianan.
"It's not that serious!" Chu Jianan said. Because he didn't think the matter was serious, he thought Leng Changyuan was doing it on purpose.
However, Chu Zhaofeng felt that what Leng Changyuan said was true, so he didn't care about it at the beginning, but now, he began to care about it.
"The fact that you ask this only shows that you don't have enough experience. Do you know what it means to be afraid of what people say? Do you know what the more powerful people are, the more they fear it? They fear damage to their reputation, because once their reputation is damaged, it will affect their future or business. What happened between you and Yuqi violated morality," Leng Changyuan said.
Even though Leng Changyuan explained it so clearly, Chu Jianan still didn't agree with it. After all, it was because he didn't have enough experience.
"Grandpa Leng, things can't be as serious as you say. You must be protecting Leng Xiaoyao and deliberately preventing me and Yuqi from being together, right?" Chu Jianan questioned Leng Changyuan angrily, but what he said was right.
"Jia Nan, how do you talk to Grandpa Leng like that? Why don't you apologize to Grandpa Leng?" Chu Zhaofeng immediately scolded upon hearing this.
"Dad, I..." Chu Jianan was reluctant.
"Oh! My beloved granddaughter was bullied, can't I protect her?" Leng Changyuan asked back, refusing to admit that he had the intention of protecting Leng Xiaoyao.
"Yaoyao has a bad temper, but if you and Yuqi hadn't done something wrong to her, would she have made trouble with you?" Leng Changyuan asked.
Now, Chu Jianan was speechless.
But he was still unwilling to accept it in his heart, because he felt that he was innocent. He had not agreed to the marriage, so was he wrong to dislike Leng Xiaoyao? It was not wrong, but it did not mean that it was not wrong and he could do something to hurt others.
"But what about you! You pushed Yaoyao to the ground and she fainted. And you didn't even call the emergency number when you saw Yaoyao faint. Do you want to kill Yaoyao?" Leng Yecheng couldn't help but speak, looking at Chu Jianan with cold eyes, which made Chu Jianan feel oppressed.
"What? You pushed Xiao Yao and he fainted?"
Chu Zhaofeng was surprised when he heard this, because he didn't know that before Leng Xiaoyao attacked Chu Jianan and others, Chu Jianan attacked Leng Xiaoyao first and even fainted...
Mrs. Chu was also very surprised because she didn't know either.
But if she knew, she would not blame Chu Jianan, because she just felt that Leng Xiaoyao brought it upon himself.
She doesn't have any conscience towards Leng Xiaoyao like Chu Zhaofeng does. She is completely on Chu Jianan's side.
However, after hearing what Leng Changyuan said, she had the same idea as Chu Zhaofeng. If Chu Jianan and Leng Xiaoyao broke off their engagement and got together with Leng Yuqi, would it cause reputational and business losses to the Chu family?
Although she still likes Leng Yuqi very much, she certainly cares more about the reputation of the Chu family than the reputation of the Chu family.
After all, no matter what, Leng Yuqi is an outsider after all.
