Chapter 679: Pacifying His Anger
Old Madam Yin’s expression was very unsightly at this moment. Her son, Yin Yang, was the first to react. He clicked his tongue and said praisingly, “Yin Jia is right! Dad, Yin Xing is really a rare and outstanding young man.”
As though she understood the direction Yin Yang was heading, Old Madam Yin hurriedly said, “That’s right, that’s right. We should really thank Old Madam Mu for raising him so well.”
Upon hearing this, Old Master Yin’s expression darkened immediately as he scoffed.
Old Madam Yin was not afraid at all and continued to say earnestly, “It’s true that Yin Xing belongs to our family. However, it’s also true that the Mu family raised him. You can’t just expect him to return to the family just like that. After all, Yin Bin and Guan Ning have already done so much but failed. Hence, we have to change our methods and attitude. That’s our grandson. If it means he’ll return, we have to plead with Old Madam Mu.”
Old Master Yin remained silent.
After so many years, Old Madam Yin naturally understood her husband. It was not difficult to make him listen to her. She continued to say gently, “Remember what you taught our son? A man has to know when to advance and retreat.”
Finally, Old Master Yin nodded imperceptibly. He patted Yin Jia’s hand and asked, “Can you ask your brother out for a private meeting?”
Yin Jia quickly said, “Yes, Grandpa. I’ll make the arrangements.”
At this time, Old Madam Yin looked at Guan Ning and asked, “Guan Ning, where’s Guan Tang?”
Guan Ning could not help but look at old Master Yin. She tried to calm down before she said smilingly without looking at Old Madam Yin, “Dad, we were a little hasty when we first dealt with this matter. We directly introduced Guan Tang to Yin Xing as his fiancee. We didn’t expect him to already have a girlfriend. I heard it was arranged by Old Madam Mu. In the end, Guan Tang became one of the main reasons why Yin Xing didn’t want to return to the family. You know what Guan Tang is like since she’s raised by our family. She’s very sensible and moved out immediately upon learning she was the reason for Yin Xing’s refusal to return to the family. She even told Yin Xing that since their mothers are gone, there was no need to care about the engagement and there was no need to stay away from the family because of the engagement.”
As Guan Ning spoke, her eyes began to redden.
Old Master Yin scolded, “Nonsense!”
Guan Ning lowered her head and wept.
“Their marriage was arranged by their mothers. If he dares to forsake the marriage, he’d be really unfilial! What right does the Mu family have to interfere with my grandson’s marriage? The partner they arranged for Yin Xing must benefit the Mu family! We mustn’t let such a woman marry into our family,” Old Master Yin said furiously.
No one dared to speak at this moment.
Finally, Yin Jia said, “Grandpa, this is just a temporary measure. Guan Tang is sensible, after all. When Yin Xing returns, we’ll naturally be able to talk to him about these things. There’s no point talking about this matter now.”
Old Master Yin looked at Yin Jia as she continued to say, “Don’t worry. Guan Tang has settled down nicely outside. Yin Yi and I have both been to her house. We even had dinner there. It’s quite good. Guan Tang isn’t unhappy. You should know she’s very sensible.”
Old Master Yin’s expression softened. Then, he looked at Guan Ning and said, “Guan Ning, tell Guan Tang that I only recognize her as my granddaughter-in-law. I’ll definitely make up for her suffering in the future. Everything she’s doing now is for the Yin family, and I’ll definitely remember this.”
“Yes. Thank you, Father,” Guan Ning said. She could barely conceal her delight.
