Feng Jing looked somewhat apologetic, but for her own son’s happiness, she bit the bullet. “He Wanqing, back then, it was our fault for not being more considerate when we arranged this marriage. We were being hasty.”

“We all have experienced what it’s like and know that when it comes to love, it’s between the kids. If the kids don’t feel that way towards each other and are only together because their parents forced this marriage onto them, then they won’t be happy in the future. Don’t you agree?”

He Wanqing hissed and looked over to Jiang Yi, who had been silent, “It is also your intention to break off the engagement with Qiao Qing?”

Compared to his father Jiang Huai, Jiang Yi appeared much kinder and calmer.

“Auntie, Qiao Qing is a good girl. But I really cannot force myself to feel that way about her. Please tell Qiao Qing to come downstairs. I will talk to her nicely and do my best to not hurt her.”

He Wanqing faked a smile in response. She now clearly saw through them. This family has been wanting to back out of the engagement for a long time but hasn’t been able to find an excuse. This time, upon hearing that Qiao Qing has brought home a man, they could no longer sit still in their seats!

Just as He Wanqing was shaking from anger, the voice of someone who’s been watching the show suddenly arose, “Hey, what’s happening over here? Why’s it so rowdy?”

Right after those words were spoken, everyone there watched as Qin Yongmei walked through the door alongside Qiao Nian.

Qin Yongmei glanced at the furious looking He Wanqing and as if she cared, said, “I have been listening to you, my sister-in-law, talking up a storm. What’s making you so furious so early in the morning?”

Looking at this sister-in-law of hers, who frequently visits just to feel better about herself, He Wanqing tauntingly laughed. “Qiao Qing from upstairs hasn’t even heard me, yet you who live next door heard the clamor that’s going on here? It looks like these houses are not very soundproof.”

Having had her cover blown, the smile on Qin Yongmei’s face froze and she instantly laughed. “Maybe Qiao Qing has earphones in. I really heard you.”

He Wangqing merely smirked and ignored her.

Qiao Nian walked over to the Jiang family and greeted them respectfully, “Uncle and auntie Jiang, what brings you here?”
