She laughed to herself, hmm, Yan Ke must be lying to her, just trying to make her give up, huh, I’m not that stupid. Huo Chanyi looked at her and sighed, "Ah Ci, why don’t you choose Yan Song? You don’t know how many socialites want to marry him, and you have your aunt to connect you two, such great conditions, and Yan Song is young and promising with a bright future. I’ve heard he’s also extremely handsome and tall, such a good man, why don’t you consider him?" Meng Junci shook her head firmly, "No matter how excellent he is, I don’t like him. I only like Yan Ke, I just want to marry him." Huo Chanyi looked at her as if she were looking at a fool, "That’s because you haven’t seen him, let me tell you something I just heard." The two talked as they walked outside. "Two years ago, Yan Song came back once. Dongfang Yi visited the Yan Family with her elders, saw Yan Song, and after that was desperate to marry him. I heard she even abandoned her childhood sweetheart. Dongfang Yi, such a proud person, bowed her noble head for Yan Song, and you have your aunt helping you, why wouldn’t you agree?" Meng Junci pouted, "Dongfang Yi is Dongfang Yi, I am me. I am set on Yan Ke, I will marry no one else in this life." Huo Chanyi sighed helplessly, "Alright, I respect your choice." "Yiyi," Meng Junci turned to look at her, "I always feel uneasy inside, no, I’ll go back and ask my mom." The two parted ways at the club entrance and got into the Meng family’s car. Once home, Meng Junci went straight to Lady Meng’s room, "Mom, does Yan Ke have a fiancée?" Lady Meng was instructing the servants to clean the room and frowned when she heard, "What’s with this haste? Where are your manners?" Lady Meng came from a scholarly family, valuing her children’s upbringing the most, always stern-faced when lecturing. The siblings were most afraid of Lady Meng’s lecturing demeanor. Meng Junci shrank a bit, "I was wrong, mom, tell me, does Yan Ke have a fiancée or not?" "Does Yan Ke having a fiancée have anything to do with you? A young lady prying into a man’s marriage affairs, where’s your upbringing?" Lady Meng scolded with a frown. Aunt Zhang waved her hand, and the servants quickly left. Aunt Zhang carefully closed the door, leaving only mother and daughter in the room. Meng Junci bit her lip. Lady Meng turned and sat on the sofa, glancing at her, "Where did you hear that from?" Meng Junci whispered, "Yan Ke said it himself." Lady Meng slightly frowned, there had been no prior rumors, how did a fiancée suddenly appear? But Yan Ke’s affairs were not her primary concern. Read complete version only at novel✶fire.net "Even if Yan Ke has a fiancée, what does it matter to you? You’re more anxious than the person involved." Lady Meng understood her daughter’s thoughts. Though the Meng family seemed radiant on the outside, it was actually in decline, especially under the Dongfang Family’s pressure. Were it not for the relationship with the Yan Family, they would’ve retreated long ago. Therefore, an alliance marriage became a top priority, and the best candidate from the Yan Family was Yan Song. At a young age, Yan Song is already a colonel with a distinguished military career. It’s said that after returning, he will advance another rank and has limitless prospects, making him the prime choice for the Meng family’s son-in-law. As for Yan Ke, he was never in her consideration from the start. But Zhuang Xiyue is not an easy woman to deal with; she’s quite shrewd and probably won’t relent easily. She just thought of having Meng Shujing speak to the Old Master, who quite likes Ah Ci, leaving Zhuang Xiyue with nothing to say. The Dongfang Family is drawing too much attention these days. The Yan Family now seeks stability, and though the Meng family has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With its deep roots, the Meng family is still among the most influential. The Yan and Meng families joining hands to look out for each other could carve out a place in the stormy Capital City. The Old Master is a shrewd man, knowing how to choose the best option. "Mom," Meng Junci came over and tugged her sleeve, acting coquettishly like a little girl, "Please ask Aunt for me." Lady Meng was deep in thought, and when she heard this, she snapped back and looked at her, asking, "If he truly has a fiancée, what will you do?" Meng Junci bit her lip. The most important thing now was to know whether Yan Ke indeed had a fiancée. She hesitated for a moment and said, "If he truly has a fiancée, then I’ll listen to you and get engaged to Yan Song."
