Chapter 33: Revocation of Engagement
Meng Yunqiao's lips curved slightly, and he gave a fake smile and said to Han Ling:
"Oh, sorry, I was just excited and spoke a little loudly. As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. We will be good sisters from now on."
"Besides, my brother got rid of you, a scumbag. Oh no, you, a girl, there are many more young and talented men waiting in line to marry you, hehe!"
She blinked at Han Ling and said hypocritically:
"Sister, you shouldn't mind that my fist accidentally hit your face just now, right? I knew that you, a scholar, would never bother with a commoner like me, haha."
Han Ling stared at the pretentious idiot in front of him with a gloomy face, looking at Su Yuan thoughtfully.
It was Su Yuan who stopped Meng Yunqiao from making a mistake. I didn't expect that this idiot could make friends with smart people.
She's lucky.
However, she felt relieved after humiliating Meng Yunqiao today.
It was just a sudden idea that came to my mind just now, just to discipline this simple-minded, strong-limbed idiot.
Anyway, the Meng Yunqiao family is just a merchant family with no knowledge at all, so it doesn't matter whether they can pass the imperial examination or not.
Han Ling sneered, handed the divorce papers in his hand to Meng Yunqiao, and said with a half-smile:
"Of course I won't argue with someone like you. Here, take the letter of withdrawal and take a good look at it. You are the first person to have signed a letter of withdrawal from your own brother. This is unheard of."
Meng Yunqiao's eyes flashed with tears, and then he took the paper pretending to be indifferent, snorting and laughing:
"Thank you for being so kind and letting my brother go. If he had followed you, he would have been schemed against and nothing would have been left of him."
Seeing Meng Yunqiao still stubbornly fighting back, Han Ling's face suddenly darkened and he sneered:
"Instead of caring about others, you should care more about yourself. If the head of the Meng family hears about what happened today, I'm afraid he will want to kick you out of the family."
After that, she sneered and said sarcastically:
"Meng Yunqiao, you are just a businessman, you really think you are a piece of cake. Even your mother has to treat me with courtesy when she sees me. Who do you think you are?"
"Remember, don't act so arrogantly in front of me in the future. After the divorce, the Meng family and I will go our separate ways. I will no longer tolerate an ignorant fool like you."
After Han Ling finished speaking, he curled his lips in disdain, took Gu Ranran, pushed Meng Yunqiao away, and strode away.
Meng Yunqiao stood there, clenching the paper in his hand angrily.
After realizing what it was, she quickly brought it to her eyes and smoothed it out with her hand.
Although she hoped that her brother would break off the engagement with Han Ling, she did not want to do it in such a humiliating way.
Now that things have turned out like this, given Han Ling's mean character, there is a high probability that this matter will spread to Tongcheng soon.
By then, my brother will become the laughing stock of the entire Tongcheng.
Su Yuan stood aside without moving.
She could punish Han Ling, or she could shut her mouth and stop her from saying hurtful words.
But Meng Yunqiao's character is indeed rather reckless.
If she is not allowed to face the villain in person and learn to think, she will suffer greater losses in the future if she continues to act recklessly.
She is not Meng Yunqiao's conjoined twin, so he cannot keep an eye on her all the time.
If you don’t understand now that human nature is treacherous, you will suffer even more in the future.
Besides, Han Ling broke off the engagement.
This was destined to happen, and this person has such a bad character.
To be honest, if Meng Yunlan married her, it would probably be more painful than death, and her fate would be more miserable.
Su Yuan gave Meng Yunqiao some time to calm down. After a moment, she patted Meng Yunqiao on the shoulder and said softly:
"Cheer up, your brother is still waiting for you."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she went over and held her husband's hand.
Make room for Meng Yunqiao and let her hand over the divorce letter to Meng Yunlan herself.
Meng Yunqiao clenched his fists, walked up to Meng Yunlan, and said guiltily:
"I'm sorry, brother, for letting you be humiliated by that jerk."
After that, she handed the wrinkled letter of divorce to Meng Yunlan and said seriously:
"Brother, although Han Ling has broken off the engagement, it's not a pity. You can live at home without worry. I will try to find you a live-in wife. I will give you half of our family property. Let's see who dares to look down on you."
Meng Yunlan felt as if she was sinking into an icy cave at this moment, but after hearing what her sister said, she still managed to smile and comforted her:
"It's okay, brother doesn't blame you."
He took the letter of withdrawal of engagement from his sister, put it in front of him and read it. A crystal tear unconsciously slid down the corner of his eye and rolled onto the paper.
This piece of paper is the key to unlock the shackles, but also his death warrant.
For a moment, Meng Yunlan couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
Noticing the wetness on his face, he quickly took out his handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and said to his sister with a faint smile:
"I, brother, am happy, not sad. You don't have to blame yourself."
The crowd of onlookers had not yet dispersed and were pointing fingers at them. Seeing this, Su Yuan frowned slightly and reminded the two of them:
"There are too many people talking outside, and the lakeside is not a place to talk. Why don't we go back to the pleasure boat and discuss this matter."
When Meng Yunlan heard this, she looked up at Su Yuan, her eyes full of gratitude.
Is Su Yuan concerned about him?
Then his eyes dimmed, and there was a hint of self-mockery in them.
What is he thinking? His situation couldn't be any worse.
Who would care except my sister?
Meng Yunqiao also reacted at this time, glared at the crowd watching the excitement, and said angrily:
"What are you looking at? Everyone, disperse quickly. If you don't leave now, be careful. I will get angry and punch you twice."
Seeing how irritable she was, the men and women who had come to join in the fun dispersed, fearing that if they walked too slowly, Meng Yunqiao would vent her anger on them.
After Meng Yunqiao finished yelling at everyone, he turned around and asked everyone to go to the painting studio.
After entering the pleasure boat, Meng Yunqiao snatched the letter of withdrawal of engagement from his brother's hand, folded it twice and stuffed it into his collar.
Don’t let Meng Yunlan see how sad she is anymore.
Meng Yunlan lowered her eyes and said nothing, allowing her to do what she wanted.
This way.
After Su Yuan took Nan Chu to sit down, he didn't do anything else. He just leaned his elbows on the table, supported his forehead, and looked at the brother and sister.
After seeing Meng Yunqiao come in, he did not comfort Meng Yunlan.
The stupid one would just take away the letter of divorce and pretend that he didn't see it.
She shook her head helplessly.
Didn’t you see that Meng Yunlan looked distraught, sitting there with his head down in a depressed mood?
Don’t we need some enlightenment at this time?
She is indeed a great woman in the dynasty where women are supreme.
From what Han Ling described just now, it seems that Meng's mother and father attach great importance to this marriage.
This is screwed.
After returning, the Meng family probably had no intention of paying attention to Meng Yunlan and left him to despair.
Meng Yunlan was a man of few words by nature, and after being infected by the atmosphere of the Meng family, it was no wonder that he ended up committing suicide.
Su Yuan thought about this, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and decided not to make things difficult for his friend in terms of emotional intelligence.
But she is about the same, only slightly better than Meng Yunqiao. I don't know if she can do it.
