She had plenty of ways to snatch the marriage away if they didn’t give the engagement to her.
After all, who could resist the Li Family, such a prominent wealthy family...
Even though the groom was already twenty-seven years old, a so-called ’uncle’, what did it matter, as long as he was rich! Plus, her dad had said he was very handsome too!
She definitely wasn’t going to let that little wretch Tong Mo benefit from such a good deal.
Actually, Tong Mo had never thought about two-timing; she was very clear about her own feelings, she liked Zhuo Wen.
Even if she didn’t like Zhuo Wen, she wouldn’t have hastily married a man twelve years her senior at the age of eighteen.
Tong Mo thought it over and decided she would personally go to the Li Family and call off the engagement the next day.
Of course, she needed someone to accompany her!
"Mengmeng, are you free tomorrow? Come with me to cancel an engagement!" Tong Mo immediately picked up her phone and called Luo Mengmeng.
On the other end, Luo Mengmeng spat out her drink and asked in astonishment, "Cancel an engagement? What engagement are you canceling?"
The question was utterly bewildering!
"It’s about the arranged infant marriage my mom and her friend made for me, and the other party is a twenty-nine-year-old old uncle!" In front of her friend, Tong Mo spilled everything she wanted to say just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
Luo Mengmeng was even more shocked, "Wow, you have an arranged infant marriage too!"
"Is that the point!" Tong Mo was practically going crazy, "The point is, the other party is a twenty-seven-year-old old man!!!"
"That really is a bit old..." Luo Mengmeng nodded.
"Are you sure it’s just ’a bit old’? It’s very, very old okay!"
Luo Mengmeng’s ears were almost deafened, and she hurriedly agreed with her, "Right, right, it’s really big!"
"Sigh... Anyway, that’s why you absolutely have to come with me to the Li Family tomorrow; I am going to cancel this engagement." Tong Mo sighed.
Just as she was becoming closer with Old Mr. Li, out pops some fiancé.
"But it’s probably not easy to cancel, right?" Luo Mengmeng was somewhat worried.
After all, marriage isn’t child’s play; it’s not something you can just cancel on a whim.
"What’s difficult about canceling it? I see it as they don’t really want me to marry their son, otherwise they wouldn’t have waited till now to bring up this engagement matter," Tong Mo couldn’t help speculating.
It had to be said, Tong Mo guessed quite well.
The Li Family indeed looked down on the Tong Family, which was several classes below them, so Mrs. Li never mentioned the arranged infant marriage and kept setting up other well-known young ladies for her son; but since her son didn’t fancy any of them, things got delayed to when he was twenty-seven, approaching thirty. Mrs. Li couldn’t be picky anymore and finally approached Tong Aiguo to bring up the engagement, suggesting that Tong Mo marry into their family at eighteen.
Seeing her determination, Luo Mengmeng nodded, "Okay, then come to my house tomorrow."
"Then that’s settled, bye."
Luo Mengmeng also hung up the phone.
Standing beside her, Gu Zhihan posed a question.
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
Mengmeng replied, "Going with Tong Mo to cancel an engagement."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"That would be great!"
The next day, when Tong Mo saw that Gu Zhihan had also come with them, she couldn’t help but sweat and pulled Mengmeng aside to whisper, "What’s your guy doing here?"
