After Meng Fu returned to the Jiang family, the Jiang family never introduced Meng Fu's existence to anyone else, and no one in the Tong family had ever seen Meng Fu except Mrs. Tong.
This was the first time that Tong Eryu met Meng Fu. Before meeting Meng Fu, he had thought about this girl with whom he had been engaged. He also knew that she was taken away from Jiang Xinran by mistake and grew up in an ordinary family, so her vision and cultivation might be a little worse.
However, when he saw Meng Fu at this moment, all these imaginations were destroyed.
Tong Eryu withdrew his gaze, slightly surprised.
Following Mr. Jiang's introduction, Meng Fu greeted Mrs. Tong and Mr. Tong politely.
After all, Madam Tong came from a prominent noble family in the capital. Although she disliked Meng Fu very much in her heart, she still respected Mr. Jiang and was not at all polite to him.
Seeing Mrs. Tong's look, Mr. Jiang tapped his knees with his fingertips, his heart sinking slightly.
"You're welcome," Tong's father chuckled. The Tong family is one of the best families in T City. As the head of the Tong family, his aura should not be underestimated. He showed his edge in his words and laughter. He turned to Mr. Jiang and said, "I heard that your granddaughter won the first place in this talent show."
Speaking of Meng Fu, Mr. Jiang started to talk more. However, Tong's father was not in the entertainment industry, so Mr. Jiang did not say much about how Meng Fu turned the tables. He just turned the topic to Tong Eryu: "Don't bring this up in front of Eryu. I heard that Eryu's grandfather intends to let him develop in Beijing."
Everyone in this circle in T City knows that the Tong family was not as powerful as the Meng family in the early years.
...
...
The Tong family only became more powerful after Tong's father married Madam Tong.
The key here is because of Mrs. Tong’s mother’s family.
Many people in T City have asked about Madam Tong's mother's family, but found out nothing. The old man only got some information from the black market. Madam Tong's mother's family is not a noble family in the capital, at least it is a level that they cannot reach now.
"It's also because his grandfather favors him." Father Tong put down his teacup and smiled perfunctorily: "Speaking of this, my visit to you today is also related to Grandpa Eryu."
Everyone present was smart. As soon as Father Tong said this, Mr. Jiang knew what he was going to say next.
"Eryu is very favored by his grandfather. Therefore, our Tong family has no right to interfere in his affairs, including his marriage." Having said this, Tong's father stood up and bowed deeply to Grandpa Jiang. "Grandpa, so Eryu's engagement with your granddaughter..."
Having said that, the Tong family’s meaning has become very clear.
Before this, Grandpa Jiang also talked to Jiang Quan about Meng Fu's marriage. If the Tong family could approve of Meng Fu, Grandpa Jiang would also understand their concerns.
At this time, Tong's father spoke bluntly.
Mr. Jiang knew that forcing it was useless, but his expression remained gloomy and he subconsciously looked at Meng Fu.
Meng Fu sat on the sofa beside him, holding a teacup in her hand, slowly looking at the color of the tea. A faint white smoke rose from the green cup. Her expression was very cold, as if she was not the one who wanted to cancel the engagement.
She was still thinking about Starscream.
"Fu'er, go and pour me a cup of tea." Old Master Jiang sent Meng Fu away.
Meng Fu put down the teacup and looked at her phone. Su Di had just sent her a message.
She stood up and went to the side hall to pour more tea for Mr. Jiang.
Mrs. Tong looked at Meng Fu's back, whispered a few words to the assistant beside her, then stood up quietly and went to the side hall to find Meng Fu.
Meng Fu put her cell phone on the table and casually made another pot of tea for the old man.
"Miss Meng." Mrs. Tong stood opposite her, looking at her with a cold smile on her lips.
"I think you should cancel this engagement," Madam Tong said, stepping on her high heels and looking down at Meng Fu. "Although I don't want to say it, there is an insurmountable gap between you and Eryu. There is really no hope for the two of you."
Mrs. Tong was not saying this without reason. In fact, Tong Eryu had a certain talent in perfume making. His perfume making was different from ordinary perfumes on the market. He was able to incorporate various medicinal materials.
Such perfume masters are one in a million, and each one of them is superior to ordinary people.
Whenever a perfumer like this appears, he will be wooed by all the big families. Several famous perfumers in the capital are treated as guests of honor by all the big families.
Mrs. Tong's family had begun to decline in the capital, and the emergence of Tong Eryu was the most important point in the family's turnaround.
Tong Eryu's mother's family pays great attention to him, and he has a bright future.
In the early years, the Tong family was not as good as the Jiang family, and Madam Tong agreed to the marriage. But now, not to mention that Madam Tong extremely dislikes Meng Fu, the Jiang family is not worthy of marrying Tong Eryu.
Madam Tong seemed too lazy to bother with Meng Fu anymore. She glanced at the assistant beside her, who took out the box and placed it in front of Meng Fu. Madam Tong said impatiently, "Here is the perfume from the Beijing Perfumers Association. It's my apology to you."
As soon as the box was taken out, Meng Fu smelled the scent of perfume. After thinking about it, she finally responded to Madam Tong: "Oh."
Mrs. Tong sneered. Forget it. Why would she think of telling Meng Fu about the Beijing Perfumers Association? Even if she told her, she might not understand. Mrs. Tong didn't say anything else. She put down the box and turned back to the hall.
Outside, Tong's father led Tong Eryu to apologize to the old man: "Old man, this matter should be regarded as a favor that my Tong family owes you. I hope you can forgive me."
It seems that this matter cannot be forced.
Although Mr. Jiang wanted Meng Fu to marry into the Tong family, it seemed impossible at the moment. He did not force it and said very coldly: "It is our Fu Er who does not have this blessing."
He asked the housekeeper to take out the Jiang family's marriage certificate and tore it up on the spot.
Mrs. Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the torn marriage certificate.
The engagement had just been cancelled, and the Tong family felt embarrassed to stay in the Jiang family any longer. Before they left, Jiang Xinran, Jiang Xinchen and Yu Zhenling came back outside the door.
The three of them were so lively that they broke the atmosphere in the hall.
Jiang Xinran put the framed painting on the table and looked at Grandpa Jiang with a smile, with a gentle look that showed he was ignorant of worldly affairs: "Grandpa, Uncle Tong, Aunt Tong, and Brother Tong, you are all here. My art exhibition will start tomorrow. Grandpa, Aunt Tong, you can go and take a look."
"Yes, grandpa, this is my sister's C-level booth. Brother Tong, didn't you say you wanted to go there?" When Jiang Xinchen and the others spoke, the weird atmosphere in the hall was finally broken.
A few people were talking lively. Meng Fu had already made tea and walked to Mr. Jiang's side with the teapot.
Before pouring tea for Mr. Jiang, Meng Fu saw the framed painting next to him. While thinking about the matters of the Beijing Association, she reached out to move the painting aside for fear that the tea would splash onto it.
Before her fingertips touched the painting, Jiang Xinchen beside her slapped her hand away: "What are you doing?!"
