26: Chapter 26: Who was so harsh to my wife?
“Damnable fool, I haven’t even settled this matter with you yet!
How dare you auction off Qianyi while I was away!
Is that something a father would do?
I think your brain must have been clogged by lard!”
Old Lady Yan jabbed her cane against Yan Hong’s chest, again and again.
It hurt a lot, but Yan Hong didn’t dare to grab the cane; he could only retreat and try to dodge.
“Mom, don’t make it sound so ugly, I was finding a suitor for Qianyi!
I didn’t know she would wake up; as a vegetative person, being able to get married and have children isn’t such a bad thing!”
You publicized her as having an ‘S’ grade fertility, do you realize how dangerous that could be for her?”
Yan Hong hurriedly explained, “The attendees that night were all either rich or noble, each capable of taking good care of Qianyi.
And they all signed a confidentiality agreement that night.
Mom, I was really doing this for the Yan Family!
If it weren’t for that betrothal gift, our family would have been ruined!”
“You still think you’re right!”
Old Lady Yan, furious, used her cane forcefully and pushed Yan Hong down onto the sofa.
“When the Yan Family was handled by your grandfather and your father, it was so glorious!
How come it fell apart under your care?
Isn’t it because you’re incompetent!
When Qianyi’s mom was still around, she could still steer you right.
Now that she’s gone, you’ve run out of options and can only sell off your daughter, right?
What’s next, selling me if you run into trouble again?”
After saying this, Old Lady Yan raised her cane, about to strike Yan Hong.
Han Yarong quickly knelt down, clutching Old Lady Yan’s legs and pleading.
“Mom, please don’t hit him anymore, I beg you.
He’s had a hard time too; he’s been so preoccupied with the company that he’s lost much weight.”
Old Lady Yan gave Yan Hong a cold look, “Really?
From here he looks quite well-fed to me.”
Yan Hong, rubbing his chest where the cane had hurt him, said, “Mom, I know I haven’t handled things well.
But scolding me now is useless!
Think about it, marrying Qianyi off to the Mu Family is much better than marrying her to some penniless lad who can’t protect her.
Not to mention, not just our Capital Star, but all across the interstellar federation, countless girls are vying for a chance to marry into the Mu Family.
Qianyi has been comatose for two years and her education suffered; she couldn’t get into the Federation Military Academy.
Marrying into the Mu Family is not only the best way out for her but also for the Yan Family!
Weren’t you and dad also matched through a family union?”
Old Lady Yan, still furious, discarded her cane.
If she still had the fiery temper of her youth, her worthless son would undoubtedly have broken a leg tonight!
She sat back down, still visibly angry and glowered at Yan Hong, “It’s always me cleaning up your messes!”
do you agree to let Qianyi marry into the Mu Family?” Yan Hong asked cautiously.
“Nonsense, you’ve already taken the money, how could she not marry?
Qianyi is a part of the Yan Family, and contributing to the family is only right.
I’ll make sure she breaks it off with that boy tonight.”
Marrying Yan Qianyi into the Mu Family was good for everyone; Old Lady Yan, wise all her life, obviously understood this.
She just disapproved of her son’s method of finding a suitor.
The prior talk about reinstating the engagement with Qu Yang was merely said in a fit of anger.
Hearing Old Lady Yan speak this way, Yan Hong and the others finally felt relieved, rushing to serve tea and water to please the Old Lady.
On the other side, after the voice communication was cut, Mu Yunlie asked Yan Qianyi, “Who was that?
Being so harsh to my wife.”
