Chapter 1216: The Su family is unkind, so I will be unjust
Qin Zhaozhao called Lu Shuang and got straight to the point: "Sister, you said today that as long as I want to cancel the engagement, my family will support me. Will my parents support me too?"
"Of course."
"I want to cancel the engagement, but... the Qin family doesn't agree. Because of my engagement, the Qin family and the Su family have business dealings. Although canceling the engagement may not hinder both parties from making money, it will still affect some cooperation."
Lu Shuang frowned: "Is cooperation important, or people important? The Qin family is too confused. Do they think that you are no longer their daughter, so they can use you at will?"
"Not really. Qin's parents and two brothers are very good to me. Qin's father is just a businessman who values profit. He treats everyone in the family the same way. I understand his position, but I must cancel this marriage, so I want to ask my parents here to help me return the dowry."
Lu Shuang agreed very readily: "These are all trivial matters. How much betrothal gift did they give? I asked my parents to prepare it."
"No need, I have my own money. The messy things they gave, converted into cash, one million is enough. I have already written a check. Can you come and help me collect it?"
Lu Shuang's voice was a few cents higher: "Why are you being so polite? Does your family need this little money from you?"
"These are two different things, sister, please come and get me a check. If you don't use my money to cancel the engagement, then I don't need you to help me."
Qin Zhaozhao received the memories of the original owner and knew that the original owner was a very strong person who didn't like to take advantage of others.
Similarly, she was used to being helpless since she was a child, and always felt that kindness had chips, and it was better to solve problems that could be solved by herself, at least there was no debt.
Hearing Qin Zhaozhao's persistent voice, Lu Shuang knew that Qin Zhaozhao didn't really regard the Lu family as relatives in her heart.
She expressed her understanding that family affection never appears all at once, whether it is a relationship that has been going on since childhood or a family member who has jumped out halfway, the feelings are all developed from getting along.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. You have a really stubborn temper."
The next day, Lu's father, mother and Lu Shuang went to Su's house to cancel the marriage early in the morning, and then came to the hospital together.
Qin Zhaozhao had already prepared for discharge and changed her clothes. Just as she was about to leave, she saw her new parents and sister come in.
As soon as Lu Shuang entered the room, she started complaining: "Oh my God, Zhaozhao, you are lucky to have withdrawn from this marriage. What kind of character is the Su family? Don't mention how disgusting it is."
Qin Zhaozhao was a little worried: "Did they make things difficult for you?"
"Su Tingchen didn't say anything, but just had a sullen face and didn't speak a word. But his stepmother thought that our Lu family was really in decline, and her words were so unpleasant that she criticized you in front of us."
"Shuangshuang!" Lu's mother stopped her, "Don't say these words that make your sister sad."
Qin Zhaozhao asked curiously: "It's okay, I really want to know what she criticized me for."
"That woman said that you used to be the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and you were barely worthy of their attention. Now you have become a poor girl. Even if we don't cancel the engagement, they don't plan to continue to accept you as their daughter-in-law.
She also said that you were indeed trained by the Qin family to become a lady of distinction, but other than that, you have nothing. I don't know why you are so arrogant every day. You refused to move in and live with Su Tingchen in advance.
She also said that if you are unwilling to do something with your eldest daughter's airs, there are other women to do it for Su Tingchen. Now you have nothing to show for it. She also told you to stay away from the Su family in the future, because they think you are useless."
Qin Zhaozhao was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed: "That is what the uncultured aunt would say."
"What makes me most angry is that the old woman criticized you so much that I was about to fight with her, but Su Tingchen didn't say a word for you, grandson! A real grandson!"
Qin Zhaozhao found that Lu Shuang was really straightforward and couldn't keep secrets.
She patted Qin Zhaozhao's shoulder soothingly: "Sister, don't be angry. The Su family is not worthy of me. So, the cancellation of the engagement today is actually a good thing for us. It is much better than marrying into such a family, being skinned and then getting divorced."
Lu's mother came over and shook Qin Zhaozhao's hand: "Zhaozhao, I'm glad you can think it through. It's not easy to find a three-legged toad, but we can still find a good man. Besides, you are still young. There's no rush. Mom wants to keep you for a few more years and get along with you better."
Qin Zhaozhao nodded and smiled faintly: "Well, when I decided to cancel the engagement, I didn't plan to be sad anymore. It's meaningless."
The family went home together. On the way, Lu Shuang took out his mobile phone, swiped it casually, and saw the cancellation of the engagement statement issued by the Su family.
The statement clearly put the blame on Su Tingchen's fiancée. She had a family change and she didn't care about Su Tingchen's retention and didn't give the Su family any face. She took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
Lu Shuang was furious: "Damn, this shameless family, Zhao Zhao gave them respect, but they don't know how to have shame, right? Don't they know what kind of a shit their own son is? They actually dare to push the responsibility directly onto Zhao Zhao."
Qin Zhaozhao frowned, and before he could say anything, Lu's father's phone rang.
It was his good friend who saw the news and came to ask about the situation.
Qin Zhaozhao was listening on the side, and clearly heard his father's friend say that people in the circle are watching the excitement of the Lu family, saying that the Lu couple don't know how to raise children. The eldest child was raised with a bad temper and impetuous, and never gave face to
others in the business world. The second child was raised to be unsympathetic, arrogant and domineering.
Now, after all the hard work, he got a good girl who was raised in the Qin family, but the result was that she broke off the engagement just a few days after entering the house.
Father Lu just smiled and said, "Let them say whatever they want. Our life is our own. The child is happy, which is more important than anything else."
"Old Lu, that's not what you said. Your company is going bankrupt, but you are just acting. The outside world doesn't know about this. What if someone takes advantage of you? Some gossip will affect the development of the company if it spreads too much."
Qin Zhaozhao sat in the back of the car, listening to these words, looking at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly flowing backwards, and fell into deep thought.
She had been bullied too many times since she was a child, and her heart was a little numb. She didn't believe in human feelings, let alone tears.
But she never wanted to implicate anyone because of her own affairs.
Just like when she was a child, a little girl from the neighborhood saw that she was so hungry and gave her half a cornmeal cake. As a result, the next day, the little girl was targeted by other children in the alley. They said she was a poor little beggar and had been polluted, and called on everyone not to play with her.
From then on, even though her sister would still take care of her, she learned to keep a distance from her sister.
The little girl had a firm belief in her heart that as a person, at least... she should not bring trouble to those who helped her.
She looked at the back of Lu's father, took out her mobile phone, and clicked on Weibo.
Su Tingchen was unkind, so why couldn't she be unjust?
Of course.
