Before she could finish her words, she heard Gu Jinlong speak in a calm voice, ”Lady Chen, you were indeed right when you said that I was unlucky just now. There is one thing that the Chen family and I must clarify today. Please bear witness.”

As she spoke, she looked around at the other ladies.

Mrs Wang suddenly stood up, her face full of anger, ”Zhu'er, what are you doing? ”Hurry up and leave!”

Madam Chen was so angry that her face turned ashen. ”Let her speak!” What was there for her to explain to the Chen family? Today, when news of this matter spread, even you think that my Chen family has done anything to her! ”

The surrounding people looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what was going on. Those who were aware of what was going on all had expressions of watching a good show.

Lady Wang was anxious and angry. Her aunt's family had stolen her niece's fiance, so it wouldn't be nice if word of this got out, or in front of so many wives. If this girl made a ruckus, her Yang family couldn't afford to lose this person!

She was about to ask her wife to drag Gu Jinzhu out when she held a box in her hand and opened it in front of everyone.

Everyone looked over curiously, and saw that there was a beautiful piece of jade inside, sparkling and translucent. Under the light of the candle flame, it seemed to be circulating more and more clearly, showing that it was a rare piece of good jade.

Lady Chen and Matriarch Chen's expressions immediately changed, and they heard Qing Ling's voice, ”This jade pendant was placed in the Chen family during my engagement with the Chen family, and it is said to be owned by the previous family wives. That day, the Chen family came to break off the engagement, but for some reason, they did not ask for the jade pendant. At that time, I wanted to keep watch for Grandmother, so I did not return in time.

As she spoke, she stepped forward and placed the wooden box on the table beside Lady Chen.

Lady Chen's face turned completely ugly. Of course, she knew that this jade pendant hadn't returned. She didn't like her son to be so preoccupied with this so-called eldest daughter of the Guo Family, but she was an abandoned daughter whose father had kicked her out of the family.

But unfortunately, her son was too stubborn. Although he agreed that she had annulled the marriage and changed her job to a girl from the Yang family, he refused to take the jade pendant back no matter what.

How could she not know what her son was thinking? She had originally planned to discuss this with Yang Shao after the Yang family's daughter passed through the gates.

Who would have thought that this little girl would return today? In front of so many gentry, when news of this got out, where would she put her face?

Lady Chen's anger surged up, and she snapped at the box, ”No need, not everyone in my Chen family has the luck to take the jade. I just forgot before, you should also remember not to have anything to do with Yunze anymore!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bea could no longer hold back her anger. What did she mean by ”you are not allowed to have anything to do with Master Chen”? She spoke as if Miss Chen and Young Master Chen had something to do in the past. If word of this got out, how would her Miss still be able to conduct herself!

She took out a red piece of paper from her sleeve and said with a hint of sarcasm, ”Then that's good, this is the marriage contract that your Chen family forgot to get back. They should have returned it to you before grandmother's spirit, but they were afraid that it would disturb the peace of the benefactor, but today it's the same, from now on, I have nothing to do with the Chen family!”

With a few ”shua shua” sounds, she tore the paper into pieces. With a wave of her hand, a cloud of red paper scattered in front of Lady Chen like butterflies.

The crowd was stunned. When had they ever seen such a scene? Didn't they say that the Chen Clan was the first to end the engagement? But now, the marriage contract had been thrown at her face by someone else, and it was still at the engagement ceremony of a new bride.

With Lady Chen's status, how could she have suffered such humiliation? In an instant, she flew into a rage and pointed at Gu Jinzhu with eyes that spewed fire, but was unable to say anything. ”You … ”You!”

Matriarch Chen clutched at her chest as she coughed, unable to even catch her breath as she cried out, ”Pearl, why are you …”
