She really had been blinded by anger.
When Li Zhihai saw she remained silent, he sneered, "Speaking of which, it’s because of you that I even have this opportunity. So long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t release this recording. However, don’t think about causing any trouble. If you spoil my plans, I will make sure you regret it."
Lin Fangwei knew she could not take advantage of him and quickly made her escape.
As the twelfth lunar month approached, Song Enshu and Xia Ping told everyone that they were planning to get married on the twenty-second of the twelfth lunar month.
Everyone thought it was very sudden, and they all wondered if the two had mistakenly eaten the forbidden fruit and now had to marry because of a pregnancy.
Otherwise, why the sudden urgency?
However daring their guesses were, not one person actually asked.
Instead, Meng Chuyue quietly took Xia Ping’s pulse and then dispelled the rumors for her: There was nothing, absolutely nothing, both were innocent.
Well, they were envious, jealous, and resentful.
The two had been extremely sweet on each other since love at first sight.
One was generous and reserved, the other was gentle and pure—they were a perfect match.
Song Ting was very satisfied with this marriage. Song Enshu, who had never been the apple of his parents’ or elders’ eyes within the Song Family, could see that Xia Ping’s parents were the doting kind.
In the future, Song Ennian could also count on having a real family.
Everyone thought their wedding would go as smoothly and romantically as their love, but no one expected it to encounter opposition from Old Mrs. Song.
The reason for her opposition was that Old Master Song and Old Master Li had once arranged a marriage between Song Enshu and Lin Fangwei.
Back when the Li Family was too glorious and Song Enshu was of no consequence, everyone who knew about their marriage agreement—Old Master Song, Old Master Li, and Old Madam Li—had passed away, and the biased Old Mrs. Song took this very
Now that Song Enshu’s business was flourishing and Lin Fangwei’s reputation had been utterly destroyed, she was no longer the admired and esteemed lady she once was. Upon reconsideration, Old Mrs. Song found the marriage contract that she worried would disturb Old Master Song in the netherworld upon its destruction.
She first took the marriage contract to Li Feng.
Li Feng was extremely speechless.
He had known of this marriage contract all along, but he had no intention of fulfilling it.
It wasn’t that he looked down upon Song Enshu, but he believed that arranged marriages were not a good thing.
Many people had been ruined by it.
If possible, he wished that this matter would never be brought up again.
When Old Mrs. Song mentioned this matter, he immediately rejected it, "I’m sorry, Aunt Song, not to mention that Enshu now has someone, even if he didn’t, I would not plan to fulfill it, unless the two children happen to like each other."
Old Mrs. Song, disagreeing, said, "How many feelings last forever? I think in marriage it is most important to be well-matched in social and economic status, otherwise, even if there is affection at the start, the marriage will not end well. Li Feng, I hope you can first listen to the advice of your family and your child."
Old Mrs. Song did not believe that Lin Fangwei would refuse this marriage.
Her reputation was so bad, it was questionable whether she could marry at all. With someone as good as Song Enshu being offered to her, she certainly wouldn’t push it away.
In this regard, Old Mrs. Song had guessed correctly.
Although Lin Fangwei’s heart belonged to Shen Ci, she understood that she couldn’t marry Shen Ci in the upcoming years.
At present, she had no chance at all.
Besides, after everyone else had married and experienced marriage, they would be more open-minded about certain things.
With her current reputation, she could not marry Shen Ci, nor could she marry into any respectable families within the social circle.
Therefore, Song Enshu had become a highly desirable catch to her.
Moreover, marrying Song Enshu would mean entering Shen Ci’s social circle...
Truly a multitude of benefits.
She agreed immediately.
Li Feng, thinking she would not agree, felt his temples throbbing.
He felt that his younger daughter was becoming more and more of a worry.
Nevertheless, he, someone who had suffered greatly from it, still could not accept child betrothals and arranged marriages.
