Chapter 13: Not Talking To Fools About Their Shortcomings

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Xu Yuning, I didn’t hit you on account that the elders know each other. If it were someone else who cheated on and betrayed my sister, I would have beaten him up long ago, understand?” Jiang Nian’s expression was cold. Xu Yuning stood on the spot awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu, who had been silent all this while, also came back to her senses. “In-law, we’ve known each other for a long time. You know what kind of person our family is. Yuning has indeed gone overboard in this matter, but I can guarantee you that no matter how he plays outside, those people are just putting on an act. Youyi will always be the legitimate wife of our Xu Family. As long as she’s willing to marry into our family, her status will never be shaken.”

“Who are you trying to disgust?” Mrs. Jiang couldn’t take it anymore. “If your daughter is betrayed, are you going to make her forgive the other party?”

“Mom, forget it.” Jiang Youyi persuaded her mother. It was meaningless to talk too much to someone like Xu Yuning’s mother. This was the logic of not arguing with fools.

“Auntie, I’ve already given you the explanation you want. The truth is what everyone sees. On the account that I’ve known Xu Yuning for five years, I won’t publicize this matter. After all, the impact is too great. Hence, I hope that the matter of me breaking off the engagement can end here. Don’t let the public opinion ferment anymore. If it really blows up, Xu Yuning will definitely lose more than me. Don’t you think so?”

“What do you mean? What does public opinion have to do with us?” Mrs. Xu looked confused, as if she was very innocent.

Jiang Youyi only smiled and did not expose the other party. “Since the two of us have broken up, we’ll return the betrothal gifts to you. I called off the engagement in public to avenge myself. Our families don’t owe each other anything. Although our family isn’t as rich as yours, we don’t have the habit of asking for compensation for mental damage.”

Jiang Youyi was obviously talking about Mrs. Xu’s compensation just now. It was rare for Mrs. Xu not to argue with her, and her old face was red.

“Youyi, I’ll apologize to you officially.” Xu Yuning’s father was a sensible person. Since his son had done something wrong, they should apologize to her.

“Uncle, you don’t have to apologize to me. After all, we’re not officially married yet. Although Xu Yuning did something unethical in this matter, he didn’t break the law at the end of the day. Perhaps we’re not fated.”

Jiang Youyi usually didn’t talk much and didn’t communicate much with her family. She didn’t expect her to go head-to-head with Mrs. Xu today and retorted so much that Mrs. Xu couldn’t even raise her head. Jiang Nian and his wife, who were afraid that their sister would be bullied by the Xu family, couldn’t hide the surprise in their eyes.

Not to mention them, even Jiang Yunfei and his wife felt that their youngest daughter today seemed to be a completely different person from before.

“Youyi, can we not break up…” Seeing that Jiang Youyi was determined to break up, Xu Yuning’s tears fell.

“No. Since we’ve cleared the air, there’s no need for us to stay any longer. The betrothal gifts will be transferred back to your accounts within 24 hours. There will be a message reminder then. We’ll also get someone to send the things you bought back to you.”

“Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, let’s go home.” Jiang Youyi finished saying what she wanted to say and turned to look at her family gently.

Just like that, the five members of the Jiang Family turned around and left without looking back.

“Youyi, I’ll only ask you one last question. Did you investigate me and break up with me because you really fell in love with Lu Yunxiao?” At this point, Xu Yuning was still very concerned about what Jiang Youyi had said on the wedding day. Although he knew very well that Jiang Youyi had never interacted with Lu Yunxiao in the past, he still wanted to hear her deny it herself.

He knew that he had no right to be jealous now, but he just wanted to ask.

Jiang Youyi looked at the man in front of her in disappointment. “Xu Yuning, I really regret being with you.”

After saying this coldly, Jiang Youyi turned around and left.

Walking out of the Rose Garden, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but give Jiang Youyi a thumbs up. “I didn’t expect you to have such a glib tongue. If I had known that you could handle it yourself, your sister-in-law and I wouldn’t have followed you here. We even specially postponed the meeting.”

“If you hadn’t come, I might not have been so powerful. This might be the bonus of kinship.” Jiang Youyi raised her eyebrows slightly, making Jiang Nian and his wife laugh uncontrollably.

“Why didn’t you tell your family about such a big thing?” Jiang Yunfei felt sorry for his daughter, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly. He could only sigh helplessly.
