25: Chapter 25: Restoring the Engagement 25: Chapter 25: Restoring the Engagement Yan Qianyi’s spine stiffened.
Mu Yunlie wrapped his entire being around her from behind.
His face rubbed against the side of her face, very cold.
Yet the breath he exhaled near her ear was scorching hot.
The intertwining of ice and fire created a wondrous sensation…
A tingling numbness spread from her ear to her entire body.
Her legs turned to jelly.
Do you hear me talking or not?!”
Old Lady Yan’s roar came from the other end again.
“It is customary for an unpleasant son-in-law to meet his in-laws!
I’m giving you one hour, if you don’t bring someone back with you, then don’t bother returning to the Yan Family!
The Yan Family doesn’t need a granddaughter who won’t listen!”
Old Lady Yan finished speaking and hung up the communication on her own.
Han Yarong, sitting to the side, couldn’t help but snicker.
She knew that Yan Qianyi might ignore Yan Hong’s words, but she would never dare ignore the Old Madam’s.
Because once the Old Madam proclaimed to no longer acknowledge Yan Qianyi as her granddaughter, then everything in the future related to the Yan Family would have nothing to do with her.
Han Yarong continued to add fuel to the fire, “Mom, you really should advise Qianyi properly.
That man’s identity information is blank; he must be doing something shady and doesn’t dare let it become known.
If this gets out, the Yan Family’s reputation will be utterly ruined.”
Old Lady Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Time had left many marks on her face.
Yet it was still apparent that in her youth, she must have been a beauty—a glacial beauty at that.
Old Lady Yan’s hands rested on her cane, her demeanor proud, as she said with neither haste nor urgency, “Don’t worry, I will certainly make Qianyi get a divorce.
But now that she’s awoken, it’s time the engagement with Ah Yang is reinstated.”
At her words, Yan Hong and the others were startled.
The most anxious one was Yan Ruyi.
But in front of the authoritative Old Lady Yan, Yan Ruyi dared not speak up and hurriedly tugged at Han Yarong’s sleeve.
Han Yarong then gave Yan Hong a meaningful glance.
Understanding her cue, Yan Hong spoke up, “Mom, Qu Yang is now Ruyi’s boyfriend, how can we reinstate the engagement with Qianyi?
This swapping back and forth, what does it look like?”
Old Lady Yan’s voice deepened, “I never agreed to the two of them being together in the first place!
I’ve said it long ago; if Qianyi ever woke up, how awkward it would be considering they’re always in each other’s presence!
Now you realize it looks bad?”
“Mom, that’s irresponsible of you to say.
In the beginning, it was the two of them kneeling before you, begging for your blessing.
It was only after you nodded that Ruyi and Qu Yang began their formal relationship.”
“Rubbish!” Old Lady Yan slammed her cane down forcefully, “Are you blaming me now?”
Han Yarong hastily mediated, “Mom, if anyone is to blame, it’s the doctor.
It was the doctor who said that there was no chance of Qianyi waking up, and that’s why Ruyi accepted Qu Yang’s courtship.
If we had known that Qianyi would wake up one day, Ruyi certainly wouldn’t have accepted Qu Yang.
After all, Qianyi is her elder sister; Ruyi would naturally give way to her in everything.”
Old Lady Yan let out a cold laugh.
Yan Ruyi suddenly knelt beside the Old Madam, choking up with sobs.
“Grandma, please don’t tear me and Ah Yang apart, we are truly in love.
Even if Qianyi divorces that man, she can’t be with Ah Yang anymore.
Dad has already arranged a marriage for her with the Mu Family.
You know of the Mu Family; Qianyi marrying into it would mean endless glory and wealth, surely more happiness than being with Ah Yang.”
Mentioning the affair with the Mu Family, Old Lady Yan flared up even more.
She stood up abruptly, grabbing her cane and stabbing it towards Yan Hong’s chest.
