Chapter 110: The Wang Family Has Annulled the Engagement!
At this moment, in the Xiao family courtyard.
Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Changqian were waiting for news of Xiao Hailong successfully seizing the villa.
However, what they received instead was the shocking news that Xiao Hailong had been seriously injured and was arrested by the police on charges of trespassing and intentional injury!
This infuriated Old Madam Xiao!
She exclaimed angrily, “This must be the doing of Xiao Churan and her family! How outrageous!”
Upon hearing that his son was injured, Xiao Changqian was extremely anxious and furiously said, “Mom! Changkun is truly too arrogant! You must stand up for Hailong! After all, he has always listened to you; whatever you say, he follows!”
“Of course!” Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly and said, “What does it matter if they have that villa? It’s just an empty shell! With no money and no power, how can they compete with us? I not only want to get that villa, but I also want them to pay a painful price!”
Just then, someone entered to deliver a message: “Madam, the head of the Wang family, Wang Zhenggang, has arrived!”
“Oh?” Old Madam Xiao exclaimed, “Quick, invite him in! I was just about to ask him why he gave that villa to that family. Wang Zhenggang is also our in-law; how can he turn against us?”
As she spoke, Wang Zhenggang arrived with his nephew, Wang Yunfei.
The two had come to break off the engagement.
Wang Yunfei had long been somewhat annoyed with Xiao Weiwei, mainly because her family was simply not up to par.
So, when his uncle suggested breaking off the engagement, he did not oppose it and immediately let his uncle take charge.
Seeing the two enter, Old Madam Xiao hurriedly welcomed them, saying, “Ah, our in-laws have come! Why didn’t you give us a heads-up?”
Wang Zhenggang sneered and said, “Old Madam Xiao, you really are quite imposing!”
Old Madam Xiao did not understand what Wang Zhenggang meant by that and forced a smile, saying, “What do you mean by that?”
She quickly called over Xiao Changqian: “It’s rare for President Wang to come personally; why don’t you hurry over and invite President Wang to sit? He is your future in-law!”
“I won’t be going in,” Wang Zhenggang said coldly, waving his hand. “I came today mainly to discuss the marriage between our families.”
Old Madam Xiao quickly flattered him, saying, “Please rest assured, President Wang, we will not skimp on the proper etiquette at the wedding banquet. If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them.”
Wang Zhenggang replied coldly, “Then I’ll be brief. Our Wang family has recently reconsidered and feels that our paths do not align, so I came to cancel the engagement between Yunfei and your Xiao Weiwei.”
“What? Cancel the engagement?” Both Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Changqian were taken aback.
Xiao Weiwei, who was behind them, was stunned and blurted out, “Why? My wedding date with Yunfei has already been set!”
She then turned to Wang Yunfei and asked, “Yunfei, what’s going on?”
Wang Yunfei awkwardly shrugged and said, “This is a family decision; I have no choice.”
The Xiao family was on the verge of collapse!
The engagement had long been arranged, and the wedding was set for next month, with all relatives and friends already informed.
Now, the Wang family suddenly wanted to cancel?
Old Madam Xiao had been looking forward to marrying into the Wang family and rising to prominence!
Now, with a single word from the Wang family, all their efforts were turning to dust!
Moreover, although Xiao Weiwei and Wang Yunfei were not married, they had been together for a long time. Recently, the two had accidentally gotten pregnant, and to avoid gossip, Old Madam Xiao had insisted that Xiao Weiwei terminate the pregnancy, planning to have children after the wedding…
Unexpectedly, the Wang family was now directly announcing the cancellation of the engagement!
Wasn’t this just throwing away all the time spent with her granddaughter?
And they had even caused her to go through a pregnancy; now they just wanted to walk away?
She was seething with anger and trembled as she asked, “President Wang, why is this happening? Our Xiao family has not offended you! Moreover, we have always treated Yunfei like our own son. He and Weiwei even had a child together, and I thought we should consider the reputation of both families, so I insisted Weiwei terminate the pregnancy. You can’t treat her like this!”
At the mention of the child, Xiao Weiwei burst into tears.
Wang Zhenggang sneered and said, “If you want to blame someone, don’t blame anyone else; blame you, Old Madam Xiao, for being so shameless!”
“This…” Old Madam Xiao did not expect Wang Zhenggang to directly insult her, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What have I done wrong?”
Wang Zhenggang huffed, “You tried to snatch the villa I gifted to Ye Chen. How could I possibly become in-laws with people like you who lack integrity?!”
Old Madam Xiao was left speechless, exclaiming, “In-laws, this is a matter between Ye Chen and us; why do you need to meddle?”
Wang Zhenggang replied coldly, “You old hag are truly shameless! That villa was a gift for Mr. Ye, how dare you try to take it? You should take a good look at yourself; who do you think you are?!”
Old Madam Xiao felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Wang Zhenggang was being incredibly disrespectful! Just because your Wang family is wealthy, you think you can insult me like this?
However, she didn’t dare to retort.
Because she knew she was in the wrong!
Moreover, she never expected Wang Zhenggang to hold Ye Chen in such high regard!
Why was that?!
At this moment, Xiao Weiwei sat on the ground, looking at Wang Yunfei and crying, “Yunfei, I’ve had your child; you can’t abandon me!”
Wang Yunfei replied indifferently, “If you want to blame someone, blame your grandmother and your father, oh, and your brother too!”
He continued, “And you even hit Uncle Li. Do you know Uncle Li has been with my Wang family for forty years and saved my father’s life? He raised me since I was little, and when I fell into the water as a child, it was Uncle Li who saved me. Otherwise, I would have been dead long ago. To me, Uncle Li is like my own grandfather, and you actually hit him just to snatch a villa! This is truly outrageous! I would never become your family’s son-in-law, nor would I let anyone from our family marry into yours!”
Xiao Changqian stood by, his face turning pale.
Old Madam Xiao’s expression was one of terror, on the verge of collapse.
They had thought Uncle Li was just a servant, but they never realized how important he was to the Wang family…
At this moment, Old Madam Xiao regretted deeply; had she known this would happen, she wouldn’t have tried to seize the villa!
Now, not only had they failed to get the villa, but they had also ruined her granddaughter’s marriage!
The key was that she had been counting on the Wang family to help them rise to prominence! Now, everything had fallen apart!
Thinking of this, Old Madam Xiao was almost in tears.
Xiao Weiwei, sitting on the ground, angrily shouted at Old Madam Xiao, “It’s all your fault, you old hag! You ruined my happiness!”
