Chapter 51
Old Master Song said sarcastically, "No, I can't accept your Zheng family's apology."
Zheng Yuzhe looked embarrassed, especially when he saw his grandfather having to be humble and subservient because of him, which made him feel even more distressed.
It's all Song Nanxi's fault!
He couldn't help but glare at her resentfully.
Why can't we part amicably? Why do you have to keep bothering him?
If Song Nanxi knew what he was thinking, she would probably give him a few more slaps in front of his grandfather.
But now Song Nanxi wasn't going to indulge him anymore, and immediately complained, "Grandpa, Zheng Yuzhe glared at me!"
She looked aggrieved.
"what?!"
The two old men immediately looked over.
Zheng Yuzhe's expression froze, his fierce gaze still lingering.
Bang!
Grandpa Zheng slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Zheng Yuzhe! Don’t you have any self-respect?! Nanxi is your future wife, you can’t treat her like this!”
"Grandpa, you—" Zheng Yuzhe froze, looking at him in disbelief. Why was what Grandpa said different from what he said at home?
Old Master Zheng's eyes were sharp as he warned him not to speak carelessly.
Turning to Song Nanxi and Old Master Song, he smiled and said, "Nanxi, don't hold it against A Zhe. If you're really angry, just beat him up a few more times! Don't worry, the Zheng family will never protect him!"
Song Nanxi found these words quite intriguing.
On the surface, he was speaking in her favor, but in reality, he was trying to sow discord between Song Nanxi and Old Master Song.
If Song Nanxi takes the blame, she will inexplicably become the one in the wrong.
Song Yirou stepped forward, speaking with great understanding, "Grandpa Zheng, Grandpa, Nanxi was indeed in the wrong. We can discuss things properly. No matter what, resorting to violence is wrong. Why don't we both back down and let's not pursue this little conflict?"
"Well... haha, of course Nanxi has the final say!" Old Master Zheng looked at Song Nanxi with a smile.
Song Yirou didn't believe that Song Nanxi would dare to go crazy in front of Grandpa Song, so she asked her like an older sister, "Nanxi, Grandpa Zheng and Grandpa are both here today, so please give Zheng Yuzhe some face."
Zheng Yuzhe was deeply moved; he knew that Xiaorou still cared about him!
"Xiao Rou is so sensible," Old Master Zheng exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Song retorted, "So you mean Nanxi is inconsiderate?"
"Oh, Grandpa, why are you speaking such blunt truths! When it comes to being sensible and a good wife and mother, how can I compare to Song Yirou?" Song Nanxi crossed her legs, tossing an orange up and down in her hand, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "I grew up in the countryside and didn't get much schooling, unlike Song Yirou, who is beautiful, talented, and a beloved superstar."
"No wonder Zheng Yuzhe doesn't like me."
Song Yirou felt her hair stand on end from the praise. Could Song Nanxi really be so kind?!
Zheng Yuzhe proudly said, "At least you know your place and know you can't compare to Xiaorou."
"Ah Zhe!"
Old Master Zheng was furious with his unfilial descendant. "Can't you speak properly?!"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Old Master Song was somewhat prepared, but when he heard Zheng Yuzhe say it himself, he still felt a surge of anger. "Finally, you've spoken your mind, haven't you! Zheng Jinfeng! This marriage was something you begged to get done! Otherwise, do you think I would hand over my granddaughter, who had just returned and hadn't even been raised for a few days, to you?"
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, you would still be in the wrong!
"Oh dear, Old Song, I really didn't mean that! You scoundrel! Apologize right now!" Old Master Zheng wanted to slap Zheng Yuzhe twice, and said anxiously, "Old Song, I really didn't come here for any other reason. I think Nanxi... Nanxi is quite nice! Calm down, everyone. Today I'll swallow my pride and apologize to you on his behalf!"
"Huh?" Song Nanxi scratched his head and asked sincerely, "Grandpa Zheng, how much is your old face worth?"
Old Master Zheng's face suddenly turned a deep liver color.
Zheng Yuzhe clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Enough! Grandpa, since you and Grandpa Song are both here today, I'll just say what I have to say: I don't like Song Nanxi! I want to break off our engagement!"
"So who do you like? Song Yirou?"
"That's right, it's me—"
"Zheng Yuzhe!" Old Master Zheng's hands trembled with anger. "Who gave you the right to speak to me!"
thump!
Zheng Yuzhe simply knelt down.
With a determined look in his eyes, he said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Song, please grant me and Xiaorou our wish. We truly love each other."
Song Yirou felt as if she had been struck by lightning. "Zheng Yuzhe! What are you saying!" She quickly looked at Grandpa Song. "Grandpa, I didn't! I don't like Zheng Yuzhe at all. Don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Good, good, good!" Old Master Song clutched his heart. "Zheng Jinfeng, what a fine grandson you've raised! He's ruined my two granddaughters!"
After saying that, he fell backward.
Song Nanxi caught the old man with quick eyes and hands.
"Grandpa, how are you—"
Grandpa Song winked playfully at Song Nanxi, silently saying: It's up to you now.
Song Nanxi: "..."
She felt relieved, her lips twitched slightly, and she secretly gave a thumbs up.
Experience is the best teacher! Even she was fooled just now.
Since that's the case, she naturally had to cooperate with the old man. She immediately shouted, "Old Bai! Old Bai, quickly call a doctor! The Zheng family is shameless. They deliberately chose to break off the engagement when Grandpa was sick. They've gone too far!"
"Hey Lao Song—wait, I didn't—"
Grandpa Zheng was completely at a loss. "We really didn't expect this..."
He just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize and mend the relationship between the two families, but who knew that Zheng Yuzhe would dare to bring up the matter of annulling the engagement at this time.
What if Old Song gets upset and something happens to him...?
Song Nanxi strode up to Zheng Yuzhe and slapped him twice across the face. Not satisfied with that, she kicked him to the ground.
This is what the others saw when they rushed in.
Song Nanxi pointed at Zheng Yuzhe and questioned Old Master Zheng: "Old Master, don't blame me for speaking harshly, but Zheng Yuzhe's behavior is like a prostitute trying to have a memorial arch! You Zheng family can't have all the good things. It was your Zheng family who begged for the engagement, not me who paid for it! Today, Zheng Yuzhe even disregarded the fact that my grandfather is still sick and said such things to provoke him. What are you up to?!"
"Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot—is this the kind of heir your Zheng family has raised?"
"Excuse my bluntness, but if you intend to hand over the Zheng family business to him after your death, you might as well donate it now. At least you'll get a banner in return. Otherwise, your century-old reputation could be ruined in an instant if you fail in his hands in the future."
"Song Nanxi!" Zheng Yuzhe gritted his teeth in hatred. "This is a matter for the Zheng family, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Really? But I'm still your fiancée, aren't I?" Song Nanxi retorted.
"I said I wanted to break off the engagement! I don't accept it!"
"Snapped!"
Song Nanxi slapped him again. "You slut, you really enjoy being a lapdog, don't you? Come on, I just recorded some good stuff, please enjoy it."
