Chapter 340
Xia’s Family was visited by guests, Yi Yujian and her mother Wang Zili.
Yi Yujian’s mother Wang Zili and Xia Yanyan’s mother Wang Zimei were biological sisters. Seeing the potential presidency position of her son-in-law hastily turn into nothing more than a bubble, Wang Zili had no choice but to personally visit in the hopes that her sister, Wang Zimei, could persuade her niece, Xia Yanyan, to voluntarily give up this marriage.
However, Xia Yanyan was firm in her decision. She would not withdraw her marriage application.
Wang Zili was already cautioned by her daughter not to compromise, otherwise, they could not get back the ten percent shares of the Xia’s family. Thinking of the painful ten percent shares, Wang Zimei stood firmly with her daughter.noveldrama
Wang Zimei’s disappointment was profound. She hadn’t expected her niece to be this obstinate. She tried to suppress her temper and persuade Xia Yanyan gently, but Xia Yanyan refused to listen.
“Auntie, don’t waste your time persuading me. Instead, you should convince my cousin to let go of Ye Xingguang.”
But that was something Yi Yujian could never do. The most innocent person in this situation was Ye Xingguang.
Yi Yujian was usually a very delicate woman. But today, even though she was wearing a black dress custom-made by a famous designer, she wore no makeup, and one of her ears was conspicuously bereft of an earring.
Upon seeing Yi Yujian’s panicked but feigned calm demeanor, Xia Yanyan understood that her cousin was truly in a panic.
“Cousin, as long as Ye Xingguang lets go of Ye Junqing, once I marry him, wouldn’t we be sisters-in-law and cousins? Wouldn’t it be better for us to get along? We could both win. And with my influence among people, if I marry into the Xia family, people would be more willing to support my brother-in-law, but what can Ye Xingguang bring to Ye’s Family?”
Yi Yujian’s expression cooled considerably. “So, you’re refusing to withdraw your marriage application. Is that it?”
“Cousin, don’t you want me to be happy? Why are you making this hard for me?”
“I am making this hard for you?”
Yi Yujian’s patience wore thin as her mother’s pleas fell on deaf ears.
She said, “You know full well that your brother-in-law is at the decisive moment of his presidential campaign, yet you stirred up this mess. Who doesn’t want you to find happiness? But Second Brother doesn’t want you. Even if you marry him by force, what happiness do you expect to find? Moreover, now that Second Brother would rather be the enemy of the whole Ye’s family than marry you, can’t you see the situation clearly? Are you still insisting on marrying him! Who’s making it hard for whom?”
At this point, Xia Yanyan got angry. Ye Junqing would rather be against his brother than marry her. Did she repel him so much?
“Cousin, we are family. I don’t mean to put you in a difficult position. Ye Junqing and my brother-in-law are close as brothers. You should ask your husband to persuade Ye Junqing. Ye Junqing should make compromises for the bigger picture. When Ye Xingguang had intruded into his life, didn’t he bring him home for the sake of you and your husband? He doesn’t want to marry me now because the pressure you put on him isn’t enough.”
Yi Yujian slammed her teacup onto the coffee table. The aura of a powerful woman radiated from her as she glared at Xia Yanyan and laughed, “You can’t make a man marry you, so you blame us for not putting enough pressure on him. Yanyan, let me tell you, you can’t make a man do anything. Second Brother doesn’t love you. He would rather turn against his brother than take you home. Open your eyes and wake up! Others are enjoying their sweet romance, and you’re meddling. What’s the difference between what you’re doing and a mistress alienating a man from his love?”
