Song Qingyang knew that Yu Yao wanted to win over Yu Dou; it was Yu Yao who first proposed the engagement between herself and Yu Dou...
But she didn’t want to marry a man she didn’t love, and the more she thought about it these days, the more she couldn’t accept it.
Song Qingyang said, "Second Grandmother, I really can’t continue with Yu Dou. Yu Dou is already thirty-two. I don’t want to delay him any further, because I will definitely not marry him in the future. I talked to my dad, and he disagreed, so I came to see you. Second Grandmother, I hope you can help me, for the sake of both Yu Dou’s and my happiness!"
Yu Yao frowned, looking unhappy, but she didn’t speak further and just turned her gaze to her son Song Yansheng.
Song Yansheng had already lit a cigarette, his demeanor as indifferent as ever, showing no change. He glanced at Song Qingyang and asked, "Do you really want to break off the engagement?"
Song Qingyang bit her lip, her gaze firm and composed. She nodded, "Yes!"
Song Yansheng exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes lowered, and his handsome features shrouded in milky white smoke, looking somewhat illusory and unreal.
Song Qingyang was a bit nervous, very afraid that Song Yansheng would oppose. If Song Yansheng opposed, then she really wouldn’t be able to break the engagement with Yu Dou.
Upon hearing Song Yansheng’s words, both Song Qingyang and Yu Yao were stunned.
Yu Yao even thought she had heard wrong. She asked her son, "A Yu, what did you just... just say?"
"It’s indeed difficult for two people who don’t love each other to be happy together. I’ve interacted with Yu Dou; he’s a very deep-thoughted person and not a good match. With Qingyang being with him, I really don’t feel at ease!"
Hearing this, Song Qingyang felt a warmth in her heart and quickly said, "Thank you, Second Uncle!"
Yu Yao sat on the side, taking a deep breath, speechless because she knew that once her son decided on something, it was hard for others to change it.
Song Yansheng spoke again, causing Song Qingyang’s heart to leap with fear of him changing his mind.
If so, she might never break the engagement in this lifetime.
She immediately said, "Second Uncle, as long as I can break the engagement with Yu Dou, I can accept any price, really!"
Song Yansheng shook his head, "You’re overreacting. I just meant that breaking the engagement isn’t something you alone can decide, nor can I decide. Isn’t Yu Dou back from his business trip? You can discuss it with him, otherwise, if he disagrees, I’d be in a difficult position too!"
Be it the Song Group, TK Group, or the Shi Family, all three are not ordinary families; some decisions indeed can’t be made by her alone.
She nodded, "I understand, Second Uncle. I will talk to Yu Dou as soon as possible. I believe he will definitely agree too!"
During the year of engagement, she and Yu Dou met very few times, and even having a meal occasionally was just for show, merely hanging on the title of fiancé and fiancée.
There were no feelings between them, and Yu Dou never really cared about her; under such circumstances, breaking the engagement with him, he would probably not wish more for it.
Shi Nuan quickly returned from the bathroom, and the conversation among the people in the living room came to an abrupt halt, leaving a silence.
Sitting down again, she saw the mango juice placed on the table from earlier.
Shi Nuan sighed; at this moment, it was probably already cold.
Late April, the weather wasn’t exactly cold, and drinking cold juice wasn’t impossible, but her situation was special today.
Just as she regretted this, Song Yansheng suddenly reached out, picked up the mango juice, and handed it directly to her.
