Chapter 95: Ungrateful
Yin Dong put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, raised his head and said lightly: "I have no plans to get married yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lively atmosphere at the table dropped by half.
Jiang Changqing: "You don't plan to do that now, and you don't understand my age?"
Yin Dong paused, his eyes gradually darkening, and he said, "Grandpa Jiang, I don't even have a girlfriend yet. Isn't it too hasty to consider getting married now? I understand that you want to have a great-grandchild. Instead of urging me, why don't you urge Xiaoyu more? As far as I know, Xiaoyu has many outstanding suitors around her. You can carefully consider and screen them for her."
The food on the table was still warm, but the atmosphere had already reached freezing point.
The Jiang family's expressions all changed. Jiang Fangyuan looked at Yin Zhengxian and said, "Brother, what does Xiaodong mean by this? Our two families have been engaged for several years. For this reason, I haven't met any middlemen who have come to our house to act as matchmakers in the past two years. Everyone knows that Xiaoyu is already taken, so why are we the only ones who are interested now?"
Yin Zhengxian's face was extremely gloomy. He turned to look at Yin Dong and asked angrily, "Why don't you explain it to Uncle Jiang?"
Sun Mei didn't want her son to be embarrassed, so she tried to smooth things over for him: "Xiaodong, have you and Xiaoyu been having a fight lately? Xiaoyu hasn't been home for a while. If you have any conflicts, you can talk it out in front of us. We'll help you resolve the conflict."
Jiang Changqing said, "Zhengxian, calm down and listen to what the children have to say. I'm here to be the peacemaker today. Xiaoyu has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and her temper is a bit spoiled. Xiaodong, do you have any grievances? Tell grandpa and I will seek justice for you."
Jiang Yu sat aside in silence, looking very unhappy.
In fact, two years ago, Yin Dong told her directly that he didn't like her and he didn't recognize this so-called engagement.
But because he didn't want to offend his elders and affect the relationship between the two families, he reached a consensus with her that they would get along as friends and not interfere with each other's marriage. When Jiang Yu found a suitable marriage partner, they would confess to their parents.
I just didn't expect Jiang's parents to be so anxious.
Yin Dong slowly raised his head, his expression indifferent. "I came here today to congratulate my uncle and aunt on their 42nd wedding anniversary. I didn't expect the elders to have such intentions. So I might as well make it clear all at once. I have always regarded Xiaoyu as my younger sister. Apart from that, I don't have any other extra feelings."
He glanced at the old clock in the corner of the restaurant. It was already past 8 p.m. He stood up and said, "The previous engagement was made privately by both parents without my presence. I don't like being arranged. The elders should all be well aware of this. As for the matter of marriage, it is naturally my own decision."
"Grandpa Jiang, I can't play chess with you today. If you still want me to play chess with you, please let me know when to play chess. I will definitely keep the appointment."
As he spoke, he had already pulled out the chair behind him and was about to walk out.
Sui Jing was almost furious, especially when she saw her daughter lowering her head and drinking soup to hide her emotions, she naturally felt even worse.
Unable to hold back her breath, she forced a smile, looked up at Yin Dong and asked, "Xiaodong, I always thought you and Xiaoyu had feelings for each other. To be honest, your uncle and I both see you as our future son-in-law. I don't understand. Is it that Xiaoyu has done something wrong, or is there something about her that doesn't suit your taste?"
Her words were almost equivalent to scolding Yin Dong for being ungrateful.
Sun Mei was about to speak up for her son, but was interrupted by Yin Dong's voice, "Aunt, I've made my words very clear. Just consider it as me not having this blessing."
"Everyone, take your time eating. I have something else to take care of."
He said this and walked out.
Yin Zhengxian shouted sternly: "Stop right there!"
