C132 The Engagement Is Lifted
"Then what do you like?" Su Ruoyao asked with a smile.
Lin Yi's face turned red again. "Yes, I like all practical things."
But Lin Yi had another answer in his heart: delicious food and beautiful women. However, he was afraid that Su Ruoyao would laugh at him for being superficial and only left it in his heart to reminisce.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I guess Zhai Jie's father is coming soon. Do you want to go down and watch the show?" Lin Yi smiled and looked at Su Ruoyao, as if he was afraid that things would not get out of hand.
Su Ruoyao nodded and said, "Sure, but I have to pack up. Wait for me for a while."
Very quickly, Su Ruoyao cleaned up the traces of crying on her face. She also put on some light makeup. It was fresh and elegant. Lin Yi's heartbeat sped up a little. He used his left hand to support his chest and pressed down on his heart, which felt like it was about to jump out. He had his back to Su Ruoyao.
Su Ruoyao jumped in front of Lin Yi and said, "Let's go."
When they came downstairs, Lee Qian and Zhai Jie sat on one side each. The air was silent and no one spoke. The servants who usually served were dismissed to work. In the huge space, there were only the two of them.
Zhai Jie probably knew that he had made a big mistake this time and kept his head down. He was not feeling guilty towards Su family or Su Ruoyao, but he felt that his actions had ruined his father's plan. He was worrying about how to explain to his father.
Lin Yi and Su Ruoyao gently approached Lee Qian. Lee Qian let the two of them sit beside her. Everyone quietly waited for the most exciting moment to arrive.
The doorbell rang and Zhai Jie's body trembled like a frightened bird.
Although Zhai Jie was used to pretending to be obedient in front of the people of Su family, he had never been afraid of them from the bottom of his heart. However, he was afraid of his father.
Zhai's father had emphasized the importance of this marriage to the Zhai family. He had told Zhai's father not to make any mistakes. In the end, he messed it up. Naturally, he was very worried.
Aunt Xing opened the door. As expected, Zhai Jie's father frowned and walked in quickly.
It seemed that Lee Qian had already briefly told him over the phone. Zhai's father's eyes were full of anger, "Why are you so disappointing?"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be angry. There must be some misunderstanding between us." Zhai's father still wanted to redeem it.
Lee Qian did not look at him directly. She shook her head and said, "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. What misunderstanding could there be? Don't say anymore. I have already called my teacher back. Everything will wait until he comes back."
The tradition of the Su family was that within the male lead and female lead, there was a need to cancel the engagement. She still had to wait for Su Haotian to come back and deal with it. Furthermore, if Lee Qian were to deal with this matter alone... After the matter was settled, the people of the Zhai family went to Su Haotian's place to talk about another version. At that time, she would be in trouble again, so there was no need for that.
When Zhai's father heard what Lee Qian said, he didn't want to say anything more. He quietly waited for Su Haotian to come back.
In less than half an hour, Su Haotian pushed open the door and entered. "What is going on?" His tone was displeased.
"Father..." Su Ruoyao called out and prepared to tell Su Haotian again.
Lee Qian stopped her and shook her head at her. Then she told Su Haotian what she had seen and heard.
After Lee Qian finished speaking, Su Haotian did not know what kind of expression to use to face her. He looked at Zhai Jie who was lowering his head and then looked at Zhai Jie's father who was sighing. He sat down on the sofa and sighed.
"Old Su, you have to believe it. Jie must have been bewitched by someone. He is a good child. You have seen him all the time. There must be a misunderstanding here." Zhai's father said to Su Haotian.
Su Haotian shook his head and said, "Old Zhai, I trust Jie very much. If my wife did not tell me personally, I really would not believe that he could do such a thing."
"You know, this child has always been in love with Yao. He was framed by a treacherous person and went in the wrong direction. You must forgive him." Zhai's father's eyes lit up.
Was he going to perform a tragic scene? Lin Yi, on the other hand, felt that Zhai's father's actions were a little ridiculous. He insisted on saying black to white.
"Old Zhai, even if it was that servant called Mei who planned it meticulously, Jie was a chess piece that she used. Why didn't she use others? Why did she choose him? This meant that Mei also saw that Jie had a bad motive, which was why she hit the nail on the head." Lee Qian interrupted.
"Sister-in-law, everyone can make mistakes, not to mention Jie is still so young. Please give him another chance. I guarantee that he will be obedient." Zhai's father raised his right hand and made an oath.
"There's no need to say anymore, Old Zhai." Su Haotian did not leave any room for negotiation. "Some mistakes can be corrected. Some mistakes can't be forgiven. It's a big mistake. If it wasn't for Dr. Lin's alertness today, wouldn't Jie have dirtied Yao's body? If this gets out, do you think your old face will still be bright? "
Zhai's father nodded and said, "Yes. This unfilial son has indeed tarnished the reputation of Zhai family by doing such a thing. However, if you and I don't tell anyone about what happened today, no one outside will know about it. I really like Yao, this daughter-in-law of mine. Even in my dreams, I want to drink her tea. "
"Uncle Zhai, Yao doesn't have the fortune to be your daughter-in-law. You should let Zhai Jie find another one for you. Anyway, he has a lot of new and old love. You will definitely be able to pick one that you are satisfied with. " Su Ruoyao finally could not hold it in anymore and said a few words.
But these two words made Zhai's father so angry that his eyes turned red. He walked directly in front of Zhai Jie and slapped him with his palm. Five fingers could be clearly seen.
"You unfilial son. How could you do such a thing? Why did a dog like you appear in our Zhai family?" Zhai's father wanted to kick him, but he was stopped by Su Haotian.
"Ai, Old Zhai, you should calm down as well. Fortunately, nothing happened. You should take Jie away with you."
"Old Zhai, you should take more time to discipline Jie. If you don't do it, you don't have to do it. Once you do it, you can do it in such a frightening manner. It seems that you don't know him very well. If we let Yao stay with such a person with different expressions, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace every day." Lee Qian's meaning was very clear.
"Old Su, sister-in-law, can't you really give him another chance?" Zhai's father made a final plea.
Su Haotian shook his head and said to Zhai Jie and his son with his back to Zhai Jie, "Old Zhai, we can continue to work together in the future. But let this marriage end here. If you want to blame someone, blame Jie for being too impulsive and impatient. Someone, send the guest out! "
Su Haotian put his hands behind his back and did not look at Zhai Jie and his son. Lee Qian and Su Ruoyao also turned their heads to the other side. Only Lin Yi watched the two of them leave.
Zhai's father slowly got up and shook his head as he walked towards the door. Zhai Jie followed closely behind his father. He quickly went up to support his father. However, Zhai's father shook him off with one hand and said, "Get lost." Zhai Jie stepped back behind him. The two of them had just stepped out of the door of the Su family. Aunt Xing slammed the door shut.
