Chapter 407 - Reconciliation (II) (1/2)
”Then why? Yin'er said you chose Shin in purpose.”
”I did.”
A small shadow landed in front of the make-up room and saw the empty doorway whose door was sent flying from its hinges.
'....'
”Then why? People will misunderstand that you acknowledge Shin as Yin'er's fiancé if you let them dance together!” Tang Xinyang shook her grandmother.
”I'm not planning to make them a couple. It's just a strategic show.”
”A show?” Both the shadow and Tang Xinyang stopped on their tracks.
”Do you know the man I chose for Tang Yin before for her blind date?”
”Yes. That wealthy and short man?”
”...” Mistress Tang almost rolled her eyes. ”...Yes, he is a bit short compared to you but his height is normal and he was taller than Yin—Anyway, his family is very powerful and they are just one step behind us. Although they are not a legendary family, we cannot make an enemy out of them, especially since we are in the wrong.
”His family was full of expectations with the previous arrangement but in the end, Yin'er stood up the man and didn't even show up for two years. Although they said that they did not take offense, I know by heart that they were angry about the rumors circulating around.”
”Rumors? What rumors?”
”That their precious son is not worthy enough for the Second Young Miss of the Tang family.”
Tang Xinyang suddenly understood. Mistress Tang continued.
”So in this banquet, they would know why we suddenly stopped the prospect of arranged marriage. It will also hopefully stop the rumors embarrassing the young man, after all, that young man should not be any worse than a butler in everyone's eyes. They will only think that it was because the Second Young Miss had chosen to marry her clansmen to strengthen family ties, not because the young man was not worthy for her.”
”Is it not the same as announcing that Jang Shin is Yin'er's marriage partner?”
”...As a pretense, yes. Before Tang Yin really makes up her mind on who to marry.”
”...”
'...'
Mistress Tang felt bad. ”Sorry I did not tell you about this. It's because I believe that this will not affect you or Jang Shin.”
Tang Xinyang heaved a heavy sigh.
”It will affect us.”
”???”
”Grandmother, I am making efforts to make Shin fall in love with me. I know I am still far from making him fall for me. But this slight change, wherein people might think Yin'er and him is a couple... It may affect his mind. Or worst, what if he really set his mind to become Yin'er's marriage partner? If that happens, I will not stand a chance at all.”
Mistress Tang was taken aback that Tang Xinyang knew of this matter regarding romance and relationship. When did her granddaughter mature up with these kinds of things?
Her guilt grew. To settle the other's affairs, she almost harmed another. However, she had no better candidate in mind...
”But... No one other than Jang Shin is a good enough candidate to become Yin'er's marriage prospect in the family, right?” Tang Xinyang smiled helplessly.
”Even though that idiot is slower and weaker than me, he was the most outstanding man left as a single in the Jang family. So you don't have a choice but to use him, right?”
The elder sighed. ”...My granddaughter, you've grown so much. If I have another choice, I would use it.”
”Grandma, I will talk to Jang Shin about it—”
