FMLRWS Chapter 402

While he said this, his face was full of anger as he looked at Xu Yang. “Our families still have a marriage contract, yet he has inappropriate thoughts about my fiancée. As a man, how can I tolerate this?” he said painfully.

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

They didn’t expect there to be such a connection.

Some already knew, but weren’t sure. Now that Zhu Zhao himself had admitted it, it seemed likely to be true.

In that case, was it really Xu Yang’s fault?

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow, curious about how the usually confident Luo Yuyi would react to this statement.

Xu Yang’s expression darkened again.

A hint of anger flashed in Jiang Yanyan’s eyes. “You’re talking nonsense. I’ve long proposed to break off the engagement. It’s just your Zhu family shamelessly refusing to agree!”

Hearing this, everyone was even more astonished.

A flicker of annoyance crossed Zhu Zhao’s eyes, but he quickly masked it. He declared with deep affection, “Yanyan, I know you’re still mad at me. I have changed my ways. From now on, I will listen to you. I won’t be entangled with any other girls again. Will you forgive me? I really like you!”

If he had a handsome face and flowers to present at this moment, the crowd would probably cheer.

But in this state, everyone just found him funny.

Jiang Yanyan was furious.

“Oh, Jiang Yanyan, I just remembered, it’s her!” Leng Muyu’s tangled expression suddenly looked relieved and he said in surprise.

“Brother, do you know her?” Leng Me’er asked, looking uninterested.

Luo Xi turned to look at him as well.

“Don’t you remember the Jiang family that used to collaborate with the Leng family? Her father is our dad’s classmate. I remember when I was young, Dad lamented that if I hadn’t been born a few years later, he would have wanted a marriage between our families!” Leng Muyu explained after clearing his throat.

“Oh?” Leng Me’er was surprised. “So, this girl is the daughter of Dad’s classmate? How come I didn’t know?”

“I heard that the Jiang family dotes on their daughter very much and protects her well. She doesn’t like socializing, so she doesn’t know many people. I’ve seen her a few times when we were kids, so I only have a vague impression. When I just saw her, I thought she looked familiar and it took me a while to remember.”

Leng Muyu said helplessly.

Leng Me’er nodded in understanding. “So, that means her family must be very wealthy?”

Leng Muyu patted her head and said, “That’s for sure. If not for fact that the Yun family, one of the four great families, still had a good reputation, the Jiang family would have taken their place long ago.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Me’er’s eyes lit up.

She liked to associate with young ladies from wealthy families. It made her feel like they were equals.

“Brother, even though she’s a few years younger, it’s not strange to have a brother-sister¹Not the literal sibling relationship, but more of like the age gap type. It means the boy is a few years older than the girl relationship nowadays. Why don’t you just marry her? I want her to be my sister-in-law!” she said and glanced at Luo Xi intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say, “See? This is someone I can accept.”

Luo Xi’s mouth twitched in response.

Leng Muyu nearly choked on his own saliva, then blushed and scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I’m only twenty and my studies aren’t finished yet. How can I get married? Besides, I don’t like that type. I won’t have a brother-sister relationship. Be quiet and don’t say any more!”

Leng Me’er wanted to argue about the brother-sister relationship but closed her mouth upon hearing his last words.

Luo Xi suddenly thought that this brother and sister pair was quite adorable.
