Lu Yuan was afraid that his daughter would be resented, so he wanted to stop her. Although he was telling the truth, he had to at least be a little roundabout.
There is no benefit in offending the Wen family.
Su Peishan reached out and pulled her husband's sleeve and shook her head.
She believed that Wanwan could handle it, even if she really offended the Wen family, so what.
Anyway, the daughter cannot be wronged.
"You little girl is very sharp-tongued." Mr. Wen finally looked squarely at Shen Wanxing. He didn't expect that this girl looked pretty and a little thin, but the words she spoke were very sharp, which made him speechless. Legal rebuttal.
He looked at Wen Ran and said, "Is this what you like? You are not a virtuous and virtuous girl who can live in a comfortable home."
"Grandpa, what age are you? If you want to find a girl like that, you can find it yourself. Don't get involved in my engagement."
Wen Ran was really a little angry.
"What did you say? She is not suitable for you. Now that the marriage contract has been torn up, the marriage will be completely cancelled, and our two families will no longer need to interact with each other. You and I will go back and discuss..."
"I won't go back."
Wen Ran interrupted him, "I don't want to go back to that cage either."
Everyone in the world thinks that the Wen family is powerful and powerful, and they are almost unanimous in the imperial capital, and this old gentleman is the emperor of the country.
However, the Wen family, with its strict and cold system, was not suitable for Wen Ran.
This is one of the reasons why he stayed in Ning City for more than ten years and never came back.
"Are you going to disobey your grandfather for her?"
Mr. Wen laughed angrily, "Does our Wen family still have feelings for each other?"
"She's fine."
"What's so good about her? I know all the things she did in the past. How could a good girl be so cruel and ruthless? She stayed in prison for three years and experienced everything. Besides, her face was repaired later. Regardless of her personality or appearance, there is no reason for you to fall in love with her."
It seems that Mr. Wen really dislikes Shen Wanxing. He would actually say such words and ridicule Shen Wanxing in public.
Shen Wanxing smiled.
She has heard this countless times and is used to it now.
There was no turmoil in her heart, but the rest of the Lu family felt uncomfortable, especially when they looked at her calm appearance, and they couldn't bear to let her suffer this injustice.
Lu Yunjin even called people to be ready to drive Mr. Wen out at any time.
"Character? You are such a scheming person, why do you still have double standards?" Wen Ran did not give the old man face, "Appearance? What do you know? Have the people who gossiped in front of you ever told you that she was disfigured? It was all to save me. She was the one who saved me in the accident thirteen years ago, otherwise I would have died."
I heard that the old man was surprised.
He looked at Wen Ran and then at Shen Wanxing.
Never thought this was the reason.
Others in the Imperial Capital didn't know that Wen Ran and Shen Wanxing had such a connection, they only saw the surface.
It turned out to be a life-saving grace, so no wonder Wen Ran liked Shen Wanxing so much.
"A life-saving grace?"
The old man Wen was caught off guard, but he also wanted to save face, "So what if you saved your life? Just make up for it elsewhere. Your marriage is cancelled, and the Lu family has agreed. She tore up the marriage contract herself, so this matter is Don’t mention it again. But our Wen family will compensate the Lu family, which can be regarded as a reward for her saving your life."
He never slaps himself in the face.
"We, the Lu family, can't bear it. Please ask the old man to leave immediately. If you have any issues with the Wen family, go to the Wen family to resolve it."
"My sister is not someone to be bullied. You old man looks down on the Lu family so much. Don't you think your shoes are dirty when you step on the floor of our house?"
"You heard that my family is noble, so don't wait any longer."
The Lu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they are very protective of their shortcomings.
If the old man could say such things, they wouldn't be too polite to him.
"Wen Ran, come back with me!"
"Not leaving."
Wen Ran just refused to leave.
"If you don't leave with me, then the Wen family's property will belong to your cousin. Don't even think about it."
The Wen family's huge fortune was actually going to belong to his cousin.
Mr. Wen actually said such words to threaten him, which was a sign of seizing on his weakness.
"The engagement has been terminated. As long as you are willing to leave, I will give you everything. There is no use holding my old bones. She is still pregnant with someone else's child. Do you want to make me mad? Or do you like to give Someone else is raising the child?"
Mr. Wen was really going to be driven crazy by him.
"Wen Ran, please go back."
Shen Wanxing didn't want any conflict between them, "I'll pretend that what happened today never happened. Our engagement was just a joke and should have been terminated long ago."
She knew what kind of person Wen Ran was.
He must feel very guilty in his heart, but... Shen Wanxing couldn't give him a response.
"Wen Ran, the promise between us is void. Our Lu family is indeed not as high as the Wen family." Lu Yuan was talking about the conversation in the study that day. He wanted to take the opportunity of this dinner to let Wen Ran express his position. Pay attention to Wanwan.
As a father, he wanted to use Wen Ran to increase Wanwan's worth.
If people like Wen Ran are chasing after his daughter, let alone others.
He was also afraid that Wanwan would be panicked, thinking that after getting divorced and having children, he would not have any yearning for married life in the future, and he was not ready to get married.
Father and son have long planned for their children.
He loves his only daughter.
"I sincerely promise you what I promised you."
Wen Ran looked gentle, but deep down he was very proud.
"I can give up the Wen family's property. But Shen Wanxing, I can't give up." The young man said coldly, his voice was firm and enough for the entire banquet hall to hear, "Grandpa, If you want to give the family property to your cousin, please do it yourself. I never imagine relying on the blessing of my ancestors. I will fight for what I want."
"No one can force me to want anything I don't want."
Is Wen Ran trying to break up with his family because of a woman?
Others looked at Shen Wanxing's expression and found that she was still calm.
It's just that the surface is calm. Shen Wanxing's heart is beating in a panic. How can she deserve him to do this?
"Wen Ran, don't you..."
"I said, my life belongs to you. Even if we are not together because of feelings, it is my duty to protect you."
How could he let her become the laughing stock of the imperial capital?
She may not know what it feels like for a dying person to be suddenly rescued.
He understands.
It's like the last ray of warmth in the cold winter.
Like the last glimmer of light in the darkness.
At that moment, his whole world suddenly came to him.
He remembered clearly what happened thirteen years ago, and how innocent that girl was, but she received the greatest malice in the world.
