"She's so shameful, and I'm still speaking for her? Ayan can't marry a woman with a dark history, and she's not even a member of the Shen family. Mom, don't stop me, I'm going to cancel the engagement!" Lin Jing was so angry that her face turned red.
"I won't stop you, but you have to think carefully about the consequences." Old Mrs. Pei said in a low voice.
When Lin Jing turned around, she met the calm eyes of Mrs. Pei and suddenly realized something.
“Mom, did you already know that Shen Suyun’s background was problematic, so that’s why you told me not to announce the engagement today?”
"Is there any difference? You just can't listen to what I say." Old Mrs. Pei snorted coldly.
Lin Jing was furious and said angrily: "Mom, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? Do you have to beat around the bush and make fun of me and Ayan? Ayan is your grandson!"
Mrs. Pei finally raised her eyelids and glanced at Lin Jing: "I want to discuss with you in a low voice, who is shouting so loudly, wishing that everyone in the world would know that you must marry Chen Suyun as your daughter-in-law?"
Lin Jing choked.
She never thought that Shen Suyun would be so stupid, and what she never expected was that Shen Suyun was not the daughter of the Shen family.
Although Old Lady Shen did not explicitly announce that Qiao Ruoxi had returned to her ancestral home, the heirloom, the Millennium Tear, was already hanging around Qiao Ruoxi's neck. What's the difference between this and returning to one's ancestral home?
According to the Shen family tradition, the owner of the Millennium Tears will inherit everything of the Shen family, which means that Shen Suyun will lose everything, not even her reputation.
What else does she want with this daughter-in-law!
When Lin Jing came to her senses, Mrs. Pei had already left accompanied by Butler Zhu.
"So, Qiao Ruoxi should have been my wife!" Pei Junyan looked at the most dazzling woman in the crowd with obsessed eyes.
When Lin Jing heard her son's words, her teeth almost broke.
This old woman has never considered her and her son. She only thinks about her youngest son and even turned Qiao Ruoxi, who is her grandson, into her daughter-in-law. She is so shameless!
"Mom, go and cancel the engagement. Chen Suyun has nothing now and is so ugly. I don't want her to be my wife. A woman like Qiao Ruoxi is worthy of me." Pei Junyan smiled obsessively.
Lin Jing sneered, "Do you think that if you break off your engagement with Shen Suyun, you can marry Qiao Ruoxi?"
"Why not? The Shen family and the Pei family have an engagement. Since Qiao Ruoxi's identity has been recognized by the Shen family, everything should be changed back. Qiao Ruoxi is my fiancée, right?" Pei Junyan looked puzzled.
Lin Jing pointed at the crowd and said sarcastically, "If you really like Qiao Ruoxi, then go and argue with your Third Uncle in person. As long as you win, then everything in the Pei family will be yours, not just women."
Hearing the word "Third Uncle", the smile on Pei Junyan's face disappeared, and he whispered: "How can I compete with Third Uncle..."
"But Chen Suyun said that it's impossible for Third Uncle to like Qiao Ruoxi. Everything is done for Grandma to see. I am Grandma's grandson. I don't need to put on a show to marry Third Uncle Qiao Ruoxi. Isn't it a happy ending for everyone?"
I thought my suggestion would be praised, but what I got was a sharp pain in my ears.
"How could I give birth to a brainless son like you! You have no ambition, no brains, and you believe what Shen Suyun said? Open your eyes and see clearly. If your third uncle didn't want to marry that woman, would he protect her everywhere?"
Pei Junyan covered his ears and wailed, "Mom, are you saying that Third Uncle also likes Qiao Ruoxi?"
"Born in a big family, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. What matters is that Qiao Ruoxi is the owner of the Millennium Tears. Would Pei Yaozhou give up the Shen family's property? Use your brain and stop saying such stupid things!" After saying that, Lin Jing turned and left.
Pei Junyan hurriedly chased after him: "Then, this marriage is not cancelled? I don't want to be a sucker and marry a woman like Shen Suyun!"
"The marriage will definitely be cancelled, but not now. Don't worry about it." Lin Jing said angrily.
Although the old woman didn't like their eldest wife, what she said just now was right, and she couldn't cancel the engagement now.
If someone amplified what she said at the birthday party, she and Ayan would be branded as snobbish and would be swept up in the torrent of public opinion, which was really not worth it.
She would wait until Shen Suyun's crime was determined, and then she would cancel the engagement. At that time, no one could say anything about her and A Yan.
When the time comes, I can choose another helpful marriage for my son.

The Shen family’s birthday party also ended, but the hot searches about this party continued one after another, hanging high on the hot search list.
The Qiao couple read the news report and looked at the loan for their son's new house. Before dawn the next day, they went to the mountaintop villa to mourn.
Chen Qin and Sun Zheng did not sleep all night. They asked for help from all the connections they could, but when those people heard that this would offend Mr. Pei San, they were afraid to help.
Most of the day passed, and they didn't even see Shen Suyun.
As soon as Chen Qin and Sun Zheng appeared, the Qiao couple cried even louder.
Sun Zheng quickly comforted them: "Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, don't worry. Yun'er is also our daughter. We will definitely find a way to rescue her."
Mother Qiao cried breathlessly: "My poor daughter, if I had known she would suffer like this, I would have risked my life to take her home. Although our Qiao family is poor, we will never let Yun'er suffer any injustice."
Father Qiao played the good cop on the side, comforting Mother Qiao: "How can you say that to Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen? It's hard for everyone to feel that Yun'er has such an incident. The Shen family is much more powerful than us. There will definitely be a way to get Yun'er out safely!"
After the Qiao couple finished their performance, only Sun Zheng was there to support them, while Chen Qin still had that absent-minded look on her face.
For some reason, the scene from last night kept lingering in her mind.
Qiao Ruoxi looks so much like her. When she saw Qiao Ruoxi being accused of theft, she suddenly thought of herself as a child, who was also wronged. When she was most helpless, her mother appeared and protected her.
Seeing Chen Qin's expression, Qiao's mother became anxious.
They all knew that Sun Zheng was a live-in son-in-law in this family, and the one who really had the final say was Chen Qin.
"Mrs. Chen, you all promised to treat Yun'er as your own daughter. Why didn't you save her?" Mother Qiao questioned Chen Qin while wiping her tears.
"The police will not accuse anyone wrongly. If Yun'er really didn't do those things, they will naturally let her go." Chen Qin finally spoke, but her voice was weak.
Mother Qiao and Father Qiao looked at each other and immediately panicked.
Does this mean you don't want to care?
