Su Yiqing and Su Yan's expressions both turned ugly. This old lady actually had the nerve to use their parents to pressure them.
The old lady knows better than anyone how this marriage was arranged in the first place.
She accepted the Qian family's favors and then used crying,闹事, and threatening suicide to force their father to choose one of his four brothers to marry Qian Jianni in order to repay the Qian family's kindness.
Although the father was not blindly filial, he had no choice but to compromise under the old lady's threats of suicide and could only arrange the engagement between Su Yan and Qian Jiani.
The original plan was to wait until the old lady's temper subsided before slowly devising a plan to annul the engagement.
Who knew that such a thing would happen? They were gone before they could even make proper arrangements.
When their parents had their accident, the Qian family worried about implicating them, so they lowered their profile and acted as if they had nothing to do with them.
In the past two years, with the development of the Su family, their minds have become active again. They have been spreading the news of Qian Jianni and Su Yan's engagement to their partners, and they have also been subtly trying to make money under the Su family's name.
Su Yiqing was busy purging the internal affairs of the Su family and didn't have time to deal with them. Unexpectedly, she only made them more and more greedy, and they actually came to force her to marry him.
Under the sharp gazes of Su Yiqing and Su Yan, Qian Jianni unconsciously shrank back.
The old lady's momentum was also weakening.
When Qian Jianni came to her, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to marry Qian Jianni to Su Yan, and she could also use Qian Jianni to tear a hole in the ironclad Su family brothers.
At that time, she can use this opportunity to gradually erode and annex the Su family, and finally take it back into her own hands.
But if Su Yiqing and his brothers really disregard their parents' feelings, there's really nothing she can do.
Su Yiqing's cold gaze shifted from the old lady to Qian Jianni. Under that oppressive gaze, Qian Jianni wished she were invisible.
"Did Miss Qian send the old lady to my fourth brother's house today to force him into marriage?" Su Yiqing said calmly, but the pressure emanating from her was chilling.
"I...I didn't force you into marriage." Qian Jianni bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, and quickly explained, "I just wanted to see Grandma and talk about marriage. Grandma said she was free today, so...so she came to talk to Fourth Brother Su..."
She finished speaking haltingly, and the old lady turned and gave her a displeased look.
This useless woman...
She thought that by shifting the blame onto her, these brothers would treat her differently?
The old lady gave Qian Jianni a deep look. "Since Miss Qian puts it that way, then I suppose I, this old woman, have been meddling in other people's business today."
After saying that, she got up, leaning on her cane, and walked outside.
Qian Jianni was left alone to face Su Yiqing and Su Yan, and she felt even more uneasy and panicked.
Her original plan was for her younger sister to become Cheng Yanqing's apprentice first, then gradually approach Su Yan, win his favor, and finally propose marriage in a natural way.
But who would have thought that just yesterday, while I was buying clothes to prepare for my sister's competition for Yan Qing's land, that kind of thing happened.
This disrupted her entire plan.
I went to see the old lady again today...
“Miss Qian, your engagement with my fourth brother was a mistake from the start, and there’s no need to continue it now,” Su Yiqing said bluntly.
“My second brother made it very clear to you, Miss Qian, that day. We brothers are just ordinary people, and Miss Qian is far too noble for us to be worthy of her.”
"Big brother, Fourth Brother Su, that day at the children's clothing store, I was just upset by Sisi, and that's why I said those things to Sisi without thinking. I really didn't mean to look down on anyone, I..."
Qian Jianni was getting anxious, but the more anxious she became, the less she knew how to explain.
"Alright," Su Yan said impatiently. "We have no interest in what you do or why you do it. My brother's meaning is my meaning. I think we've made ourselves very clear. You can leave now."
"Brother Su, I..." Qian Jianni wanted to try again.
Su Yiqing spoke again, "Miss Qian, please leave. Uncle Li, see the guest out!"
Su Yan and Su Yiqing had already said so much, and even if Qian Jianni had the thickest skin, she couldn't stay any longer.
She had just stepped out of the living room when she ran into the three little ones returning with their schoolbags on their backs.
Susie glanced at her and spoke first: "Oh, auntie, you don't look noble at all looking so dejected right now!"
“Auntie, my big brother said that to be a noble person, one must be upright, honest, and kind-hearted,” Su Ruanruan said confidently, puffing out her little chest.
"Ruanruan, don't talk so profoundly. Some people's IQ is not even as high as your Xiaobai's. They can't understand human language at all."
The three boys chatted amongst themselves, their mocking words reaching Qian Jianni's ears.
She was filled with anger and resentment, yet there was nothing she could do but flee in panic.
Su Xixi followed Su Ruanruan back to her room and burst into laughter, pounding the bed. "Hahaha, I love how that old lady can't stand us but can't do anything about it. It's so satisfying!"
Su Ruanruan's round, fair face broke into a smile with two dimples, which was truly delightful.
However, Qian Jianni has finally managed to get close to the Su family, so she probably won't break off the engagement so easily.
...
Su Xixi returned to the small building and immediately met Su Lei's gloomy eyes upon entering.
Caught off guard, she was startled.
