Yan He lay on the bed crying her heart out, her face was ruined, and one eye was at risk of blindness. If it weren’t for Ji Yunya, would she have ended up ? She already knew what happened at the Yan Family yesterday, Ji Yunya had officially become Yan Song’s fiancée, and she had no chance at all. No way, she’s ruined, Ji Yunya shouldn’t expect to rejoice. Hearing noise from downstairs, it seemed there were guests at home, she called in the servant attending to her: "Are there guests at home?" The maid bowed her head, "Yes." "It’s two women, one is in her forties, a noble and graceful rich lady, and the other is a very pretty girl around seventeen or eighteen." Describing it like that, it was someone she hadn’t seen before. Yan He got up from the bed, walked to the door, opened a crack, and peeked downstairs. Even with just one eye, the person sitting downstairs was someone she would never forget. Ji Yunya, you still have the face to come here. The slightly older woman was naturally Zhuang Xiyue, seeing the two sitting together so intimately like mother and daughter made Yan He almost go mad with jealousy. Taking a deep breath, she instructed the maid: "Go listen and see what they are talking about, and report back to me word for word." "Elder Shu, I feel deeply sorry for the incident that happened to Miss Yan at the Yan Family yesterday. I will fully cover Miss Yan’s medical expenses," Zhuang Xiyue said with great sincerity. "Who cares about your medical expenses?" Shu Tiancheng glanced at the young girl sitting beside Zhuang Xiyue and smirked: "There is only one way to resolve this matter." Zhuang Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "I’m all ears." "Let Yan Song marry Yan’er, otherwise, this matter won’t end with you and the Yan Family," Shu Tiancheng said solemnly. However, it’s unfortunate that Zhuang Xiyue was not afraid of him. She responded with a rather amused tone: "Elder Shu, that joke isn’t very funny." Chapters first released on N()velFire.net "Who’s joking with you? The incident happened to Yan’er at your Yan Family, her face is ruined, how will she find a husband in the future. If Yan Song marries Yan’er, I won’t pursue the matter. Otherwise, it won’t end with your Yan Family." Yun Ya sneered internally; this old man was shameless to this extent, worthy of being Yan He’s grandfather. "First, our Ah Song already has a fiancée, he absolutely cannot marry another woman. Second, Miss Yan’s accident happened at the Yan Family’s house, and we will not shirk responsibility, but this cannot be used as leverage by Elder Shu to threaten us. Elder Shu, please respect yourself." "Is it just for this woman?" Shu Tiancheng glanced at Yun Ya disdainfully and said, "She’s not much better than Yan’er. If Yan Song marries Yan’er, what benefits would arise, I’m sure Lady Yan understands." Zhuang Xiyue didn’t expect Elder Shu to be so shameless, and she coldly laughed: "The engagement is set, I will not be one to break my word. Besides, in my eyes, as a daughter-in-law, no woman holds a candle to Yun Ya." Yun Ya felt touched in her heart; Aunt Zhuang was so good to her. "You... Lady Yan, don’t be so absolute in your words. Yan Song’s career is on the rise; one word from me and his path to promotion would be ruined. Are you truly willing to watch your son ruin his future for a woman?" Zhuang Xiyue’s face turned cold, "Since you’re so insistent on tearing things apart, why should I be courteous to you: it was you who forced the matter first, Elder Shu. Perhaps your long uncomplicated life has made you forget that the position you’re sitting in isn’t stable." Shu Tiancheng’s face changed slightly: "Are you threatening me?" Zhuang Xiyue smiled confidently, "Elder Shu threatened first, and I’m merely using your strategy against you." "I deeply regret what happened yesterday, but Miss Yan should bear the greatest responsibility. You could ask your precious granddaughter how it feels to be sold out by others while still counting money for them? Please pass on this message to Miss Yan for me: never covet a man who doesn’t belong to you. One wrong step leads to another. Enough has been said, take care." With those words, she left with Yun Ya. Elder Shu sat dejectedly in his seat, questioning if he had truly been wrong. Leaving the Shu Family, Yun Ya gently asked: "Aunt Zhuang, have you really offended Elder Shu for my sake?" Zhuang Xiyue smiled, holding her hand and reassuringly patting her hand: "Don’t be afraid; in the end, he’s just a paper tiger and still has the nerve to force Ah Song to marry his granddaughter, it’s simply wishful thinking." She met Yan He yesterday, and even without Yun Ya, she would never let Ah Song marry such a woman. Her eyes betrayed too much. She’s foolish and dull, not even worthy to carry Yun Ya’s shoes.
