After Li He left, Zhao Qishan asked the two of them to sit down.
"Sit over there." Zhao Qishan pointed to the sofas behind him.
Mu Ruanruan chose a seat and sat down. Zhao Jinyu wanted to sit next to Mu Ruanruan, but she gave him a sharp look and he moved away a little.
Zhao Qishan picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal number: "Please ask the old lady and Mr. Mu to come over."
Mu Ruanruan was a little surprised. Her father was here too?
Are you here to return the bracelet?
The Zhao family went to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. As a matter of reciprocity, her family would indeed come as well. How come it happened to be today?
There are many people at the party, so Mu Mingda shouldn't join in the fun.
After a while, all the people Zhao Qishan mentioned came. Mu Mingda sat next to Mu Ruanruan, and together with Zhao Jinyu, the three of them sat on a sofa.
Old Mrs. Zhao sat on the single sofa on the right.
Zhao Qishan and his wife Shen Xiumei sat opposite Mu Ruanruan and the others.
After greeting each other, we got down to business.
Zhao Qishan coughed twice and said, "Old Mu, our two families have had close ties since the old lady's generation, which is why we arranged the marriage of our two children. Now, because of this matter, the two families have been put in such an awkward situation. It is our Zhao family who is sorry for you."
His words were sincere and his attitude was respectful. Did he want to change his mind?
Mu Mingda said nothing.
Zhao Qishan continued, "I'm ashamed to say this. At this point, there's nothing much to say. Ruan Ruan is a good girl. It wasn't our wish to break off the engagement back then. It was my son's fault. Now..."
Mu Mingda slowly said, "Old Zhao."
Zhao Qishan was not angry when his topic was interrupted, and looked at Mu Mingda with a gentle expression.
Shen Xiumei and Old Mrs. Zhao also looked at him expectantly.
Seeing this, Mu Ruanruan was afraid that Mu Mingda would be scared and change his words, so she quickly looked at Mu Mingda.
Everyone was waiting for his next words, and Zhao Jinyu's hands on his knees were shaking slightly.
Although Mu Mingda's social status is not as high as Zhao Qishan's, and the occasions he has seen are far less high-end than Zhao Qishan's, he has been a teacher and a professor for so many years and has developed a calm aura.
He thought for a moment, leaned back on the sofa cushions, and said with his usual gentle smile, "We only have one daughter, Ruan Ruan, so we must carefully consider her lifelong affairs. Back then, since our two families had a close relationship, we decided on the marriage without even asking the children for their opinions. This was a bit inconsiderate.
Now that the children are grown up, it is up to them to decide their own affairs."
"Mingda, you are still blaming us." The old lady spoke for the first time, her tone filled with guilt and self-blame.
Mu Mingda: "Old lady, we are old and can no longer take care of the children's affairs. We should just be the people behind them. No matter who the children choose to be with or what kind of life they choose, we should just support them silently from behind."
Zhao Qishan: "Zhao Jinyu, stand up!"
Zhao Jinyu stood up quickly, bringing with him a gust of wind.
"First, kowtow to your uncle Mu and admit your mistake."
Zhao Jinyu knelt down in front of Mu Mingda and kowtowed three times, saying "I'm sorry" as he kowtowed. Mu Mingda couldn't stop him no matter what he did.
Zhao Qishan: "Don't stop him. Regardless of whether they become relatives or not, these few heads are what he deserves. It's already three years too late."
Mu Ruanruan moved aside and didn't look away from him.
The old lady said: "Ruan Ruan, it is our Zhao family who is sorry for you."
If he really felt that he was wrong, he should have admitted it three years ago. Now he is going through such a long process of preparation and sending gifts, just to get back together.
The Zhao family really dotes on their only grandson. If they wanted to cancel the engagement, they did so resolutely. Now that they want to get back together, they are trying every possible means and taking every step carefully.
When she thinks Mu Ruan Ruan is a soft persimmon.
But looking at Mu Mingda's expression, he is not someone who is easy to talk to. Although he looks gentle, it does not mean that he does not have his own principles and persistence.
After admitting her mistake and saying what she wanted to say, the old lady came to ask Mu Ruanruan what she thought.
"Ruan Ruan, all men make mistakes sometimes. It's never too late to turn back. You're still young now, and life is long. It's not easy to find someone who knows you well and understands your feelings."
The old lady took Mu Ruanruan's hand and said, "Child, please forgive him this time. If it happens again, I will break his legs and drive him out of the Zhao family. Okay?"
Shen Xiumei: "Yes, Ruan Ruan, we all like you very much. We have watched you grow up since you were a child. Our two families are also old friends. For the sake of the older generation of our Zhao family, please forgive Jin Yu this time. As for Qiu Mei, we will deal with it."
Zhao Jinyu: "Ruan Ruan, there's nothing between her and me anymore. I've made it very clear to her. Her coming here today really has nothing to do with me. I really didn't ask her to come."
Zhao Qishan: "She's here?"
Zhao Qishan was very perceptive and realized what was happening instantly.
"That girl is Qiu Mei?"
Zhao Jinyu forgot that his family had never met Qiu Mei, and suddenly regretted bringing her in, but it was he who gave the order to let everyone in.
Now that I'm already at home, it seems ironic that we're still discussing getting back together with Mu Ruanruan.
The farce from three years ago was brought up again and exposed, slapping the Zhao family in the face and also the Mu family in the face.
Mu Mingda looked unhappy, and Zhao Qishan's expression wasn't much better.
"Bring the family rules." Zhao Qishan said to the guard not far away.
The guard stood there in a daze.
"Go quickly!"
