Xu Guan: “…”
…
“What! The Zhu family actually treated you like this!” A woman’s voice rose sharply, as if in disbelief.
Jiang Yanyan’s eyes were red with grievance. “It’s not the first time. I didn’t want to tell you at first because I’m afraid it would make things difficult for you, but the Zhu family is going too far. Last time, Zhu Zhao was ambiguous with one of my good friends, which made me lose face at school. Now they are forcing me to marry him. I absolutely refuse!”
Mother Jiang was furious, her eyes turning red with anger. “What a bastard! How could he treat you like this? Why didn’t you tell your family sooner? You’ve been bullied for so long, and your father was still thinking about investing in their company! Bah! What a heartless family.”
“Mom, I don’t care about anything else. I just want to break off the engagement with Zhu Zhao. Besides, they want to sue my friend. You have to help save him!” Jiang Yanyan said anxiously.
As soon as Mother Jiang heard this, she immediately agreed, “Don’t worry, Mom will definitely support you. As for the classmate who helped you, we won’t harm him. Trust me, I’ll call your father right now. That damned Zhu family dares to bully my precious child. I will not let them off!” She angrily cursed.
Jiang Yanyan didn’t expect her mother to agree so quickly upon hearing that she was being bullied.
She knew that the two families had a good relationship, and she didn’t want to implicate her parents with Zhu Zhao’s affairs, so as long as he wasn’t too excessive, she would tolerate him. But they had disappointed her too much this time. She thought that even if her parents disagreed, she would never marry Zhu Zhao!
Now it seemed that she had underestimated her mother’s love for her.
She hugged her mother gratefully. “Thank you, Mom!”
“You silly child, why thank your own family?” Mother Jiang, who was plump and prosperous, said lovingly.
Soon, the Zhu family received a call from Father Jiang.
Father Jiang was well-known in the business world as a doting father. Upon hearing that his daughter was being bullied, he became furious and swiftly withdrew all investments in the Zhu family, directly calling them to break off the engagement.
The Zhu family was unwilling to agree.
However, the engagement was merely a verbal agreement between the two families, with no formal guarantee. So when the other party requested to break off the engagement, they had no choice but to agree, despite their reluctance.
After all, it was stated that it was Zhu Zhao who had caused trouble at school first and brought shame to the Jiang family.
Father Zhu was so angry that he gave his good-for-nothing son a hard slap, causing Zhu Zhao, who was still recovering, to bleed from his nose.
“You unfilial son, hurry and find Jiang Yanyan for me. I don’t care how you do it, but you must make her forgive you, otherwise don’t come back!”
“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you talk properly? Why hit your son? His injuries aren’t healed yet!” Mother Zhu rushed out upon hearing the commotion. When she saw her son being hit, she became angry and scolded.
“You still have the face to speak! If it weren’t for your stupid idea yesterday to pressure Jiang Yanyan, the Jiang family wouldn’t want to break off the engagement now!” Father Zhu said angrily.
“What, what?” Mother Zhu was taken aback.
“Heh, your good son was ambiguous with Jiang Yanyan’s good friend right in front of her. What a complete beast. The Zhu family’s fortune is being ruined because of your good son!” Father Zhu cursed in frustration.
