Ren Shimin frowned and glanced at Ren Yaoying: "Do you really want to do this?"
Ren Yaoying nodded quickly, tears in her eyes as she said, "Yes, thank you. I would rather be a nun than marry into the He family and bring shame to you, Daddy. Daddy..."
Ren Shimin was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You go back first. I'll discuss this with your mother." No matter how much Ren Shimin disliked his daughter, he ultimately didn't want to see Ren Yaoying marry Mr. He, who was older than him. Even if he left the Ren family, there was no doubt that Ren Yaoying was part of his family.
Ren Yaoying was filled with surprise: "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Daddy!" Then she looked at Ren Yaoqi expectantly, "Fifth sister..."
Ren Yaoying knew very well that if she wanted to break off the engagement, it would not work relying on her father alone. She had to ask Ren Yaoqi for help from the Yanbei Palace.
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly, neither angry nor anxious: "Since Daddy promised you that he would discuss it with Mom, it means he is going to find a way to get you to break off the engagement. You don't have to worry."
Ren Yaoying quickly said: "Thank you, Fifth Sister. I will repay you in the future."
Ren Yaoqi still smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Lei Ting was led in from outside. He looked up and saw Ren Shimin, Xiao Jingxi and others standing in the yard. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He walked over quickly and saluted Master Ren, and then greeted Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi.
Master Ren had a favorable impression of his eldest son-in-law and nodded. Xiao Jingxi and Lei Ting were also familiar with each other, especially after Ren Yaoqi had helped the Lei family that time. Xiao Jingxi and Lei Ting had come into contact several times. However, today, they both came to the Ren family as sons-in-law, so Xiao Jingxi didn't have the slightest air of a young master of the Yanbei Palace. He treated Lei Ting like an ordinary brother-in-law.
Ren Yaoying stood aside and hadn't left yet. Her eyes repeatedly swept between Xiao Jingxi and Lei Ting. Only she could understand the complexity of her mood at this moment.
Since childhood, Ren Yaoying has envied and resented her two older sisters, believing she was no less capable than them in any way, her only disadvantage being her birth. How unfair was fate? Now, to avoid marrying a poor old man, she grovels and begs. But why are Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi so lucky? Ren Yaoqi's incredible luck in marrying Xiao Jingxi, a descendant of the Yanbei Prince's mansion, is unbelievable. Why did Ren Yaohua, even as a second wife, end up meeting a man like Lei Ting?
Ren Yaoying quietly clenched her fists, and a thousand and ten thousand feelings of unwillingness emerged from the depths of her heart.
However, no one present paid attention to her, as Li had already sent someone out to welcome them into the main room.
When Mr. Ren was leaving, he saw Ren Yaoying still there, so he told her to go back first.
This time, Ren Yaoying bowed her head obediently and accepted it.
Ren Yaoqi reached the steps of the main house and turned back inadvertently, only to see Ren Yaoying still standing there, watching them leave. Because she was backlit, the emotion in her eyes was hard to discern.
Thanks to Lei Ting's company, the meal became much more lively. The three men sat together, eating, drinking, and chatting about various topics, enjoying themselves. Master Ren had completely eliminated his prejudice against his son-in-law, although he still felt a little uncomfortable with the man who had married his youngest daughter.
After dinner, Lei Ting and Xiao Jingxi chatted. Master Ren had gone back to the main room to talk to Li about something. Ren Yaoqi, who was talking to Li, said, "Dad, you came just in time. I was just talking to mother about my ninth sister's broken engagement."
