Chapter 241 Adding Points to Zong Lanfang
Chapter 241 Adding Points to Zong Lanfang
As Zeng Yaozu said this, he slowly raised his hand, unable to resist touching Song Beiyou's face.
Song Beiyou remained calm at first, but a second before his hand was about to touch her face, he dodged and moved to Zong Lanfang's left side.
The speed was so fast that Zeng Yaozu almost fell to the ground when he missed his target, but luckily he managed to regain his footing.
After Song Beiyou came to Zong Lanfang's side, she saw Mu Niannian holding her left hand, so she took the opportunity to hold Zong Lanfang's right hand.
The main purpose was to disrupt Zong Lanfang's mind, creating the impression to outsiders that the mother and daughter had a very harmonious relationship.
Of course, the bigger reason is that he dislikes Mu Niannian.
From the moment Mu Niannian specifically asked Zong Lanfang whether the engagement from back then was verbally dissolved, Song Beiyou knew that this matter was definitely related to her.
Otherwise, why would she suddenly speak up in front of so many people, when she hadn't said a word for a while?
Moreover, Song Beiyou also saw a hint of impatience on Mu Niannian's face; she was trying to harm her.
Come to think of it!
The son of the Zeng family doesn't seem like much. He's not only irresponsible but also exudes a strong sense of greed.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the color and swelling under the eyes indicate that this person usually indulges in excessive sexual activity and has a chaotic private life.
The woman originally supposed to be in the engagement was Mu Niannian, but I reckon she wasn't liked by the Zeng family's son either.
She had only recently been recognized as a member of her family, and the marriage agreement was brought up again, meaning that the marriage contract would now fall on her shoulders.
They forced it on her in front of so many people.
The story spread like wildfire, eventually becoming incredibly widespread.
That move was brilliant!
Thinking of this, Song Beiyou pretended to be scared and tightened his grip on Zong Lanfang's hand, "What should we do?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like that of a startled rabbit.
At that moment, Zong Lanfang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She turned her head to meet Song Beiyou's clear, lake-like eyes, and stammered, "This..."
At this moment, the photos she saw at her parents' home yesterday came to mind, and Zong Lanfang realized how much Song Beiyou resembled her mother, Tao Yahui.
"What should we do?" Song Beiyou asked again.
Suddenly overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of mission, Zong Lanfang broke free from Mu Niannian and Song Beiyou's grasp and stepped forward, "Mrs. Zeng!"
Song Beiyou raised an eyebrow, momentarily taken aback by Zong Lanfang's reaction.
Looking at Mu Niannian, he raised his lips and noticed that she was equally surprised.
Song Beiyou chuckled and took the opportunity to move closer to her. "What? Still not giving up?"
Mu Niannian: "I don't know what you're talking about."
As soon as the words fell, she ignored Song Beiyou and stared at Zong Lanfang's back.
She noticed that Zong Lanfang had changed, changed drastically.
Just a few days ago, she was still looking down on Song Beiyou, but today, she seems to care about him a lot more and is more concerned about him.
How can this be!
Her hands, hanging at her sides, were clenched into fists as she silently prayed that Zeng Yaozu would step up his game.
Otherwise, Mu Niannian would have no future.
Zong Lanfang stood in front of Song Beiyou and said to Mrs. Zeng, "Mrs. Zeng, you see, this matter was said to be canceled two years ago, and it should be canceled now."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to my Beiyou.
She just got back and has no idea what happened, right?
Song Beiyou pursed her lips slightly and said, "Yes, Zong Lanfang has changed. That's good."
But it hasn't changed to a standard she can accept.
Continue to observe, without making a sound.
Mrs. Zeng helped Zeng Yaozu, who had almost fallen forward. She wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable.
In her opinion, the engagement was declared invalid two years ago, and now that the person has changed, replacing Mu Niannian with Song Beiyou, it should be even more so.
“Yes,” Mrs. Zeng began, “this matter is still…”
Before she could finish speaking, her son Zeng Yaozu interrupted her, saying, "The engagement still stands. Since it's been arranged, it should be carried out properly. What kind of behavior is this, going back on your word?"
Zong Lanfang became anxious, "But didn't our two families agree two or three years ago that the marriage agreement wouldn't stand?"
"Now that marriage and love are free, and besides, Bei You already has someone she loves, this engagement should have been null and void long ago."
Upon hearing Zong Lanfang's words, Song Beiyou silently added another point to her score in his mind.
Good, Zong Lanfang's performance today was better than usual!
Mrs. Zeng tried to persuade Zeng Yaozu, "Yes, Yaozu, Mrs. Mu is right. They just recognized Bei You back in their family. Don't scare him."
Zeng Yaozu automatically filtered out Zong Lanfang's words, "Song Beiyou has someone else in his heart," and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll decide this. What others say doesn't matter."
"Right, Youyou, what do you think about us getting to know each other first? What if we're a good match?"
There were quite a few people at the scene, mostly young women.
Women's jealousy often stems from those who are more outstanding than them.
Without a doubt, in their minds, Song Beiyou was the one who was better than them.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone was eager to see Song Beiyou make a fool of himself.
Ideally, that marriage contract would be finalized, so that we could see Song Beiyou marry a famous second-generation rich kid in the capital.
Some people started muttering to themselves, while others filmed the scene, planning to post a video to amuse everyone.
Mu Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zeng Yaozu was quite capable, with a sense of shamelessness that he took to the extreme.
She started to make plans in her mind, picked up her phone, and clicked into a chat group.
Upon seeing that someone had actually posted the video of the scene, I immediately forwarded it as quickly as possible, just to let more people know that Song Beiyou was Zeng Yaozu's fiancée.
She wanted to see if Duan Yao, Old Madam Duan, or the entire Duan family would still want such an "impure" woman once they knew that Song Beiyou was already engaged.
The situation remains deadlocked.
Zeng Yaozu began to express his feelings for Song Beiyou to Zong Lanfang.
Mrs. Zeng, seeing her son so earnestly expressing his affection for a woman, gradually sided with him.
She even asked Zong Lanfang, "Afang, these two children are about the same age. I really like your Beiyou. He even gave me such nice pearls. I'm sure our relationship won't be too bad in the future."
"How about this, since there are so many people here today, let's go ahead with the marriage agreement as it is?"
Zong Lanfang was so anxious that she couldn't even speak.
Looking at her expression, Song Beiyou added another point to her score.
So far today, Zong Lanfang has gained a total of 3 points on her side.
I know that Zong Lanfang lacks emotional intelligence, and her IQ is practically zero in emergency situations.
So, Song Beiyou stepped off Zong Lanfang and walked up to Zeng Yaozu, the second-generation rich kid, in front of so many people.
The closer they got, the more Zeng Yaozu liked Song Beiyou's appearance.
Those eyeballs were staring straight ahead, as if they were about to pop out.
This wasn't the first time Song Beiyou had encountered someone like this. Calm and composed, she said in a voice only those around them could hear, "I have a boyfriend."
I'm afraid that if he finds out you're engaged to me, he'll kill you.
