Several people had different thoughts, but Chu Qingwan didn't care and just helped the old man sit down at the head of the table.
The old man cleared his throat and looked at Qingyue intentionally or unintentionally: "Since we have to discuss family matters, outsiders should please stay away."
Chu Qingyue's face changed slightly, and she said softly and coquettishly: "Grandpa."
The old man said rudely: "Do you want to wait for me, an old man, to invite you in person?"
Chu Qingyue froze and looked at Chu Huaian for help.
After all, she is the daughter she has loved for many years. Chu Huaian could not bear to see her being wronged and could not help but defend her: "Dad, no matter what, Yue'er is also your granddaughter. Today..."
"I only have one granddaughter! That's Wan'er." The old man interrupted him.
"You ignored my objections and insisted on treating the fish eyes as pearls and recognizing this outsider. I won't tell you. But if you come back tonight, the Chu family will only have this eldest lady!"
Chu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat and she became nervous.
Although the old man has not been in charge for many years, he still retains his power. If Chu Huaian has no choice but to agree, how can she enjoy the glory and wealth?
At the moment, she was thinking actively about the obstructive words.
Before he could find a suitable countermeasure, he heard Chu's mother Liu say: "I don't have such a shameless daughter."
The old man's eyes sharpened, he became angry, and his breathing became rapid.
Chu Qingwan hurriedly gave him some relief: "Grandpa, don't be angry, it's not worth it."
After saying this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Huaian and his wife, and said with a lack of emotion: "I came back not for the daughter's position that you regard as precious, but to terminate the engagement."
She spoke simply and neatly, without leaving any trace of nostalgia in her words, and everyone in the hall was surprised when they heard her words.
It was obvious to all of them how much Chu Qingwan liked Ye Chenxuan back then.
I thought that with the marriage contract as a bond, she would not let go easily, but I didn't expect that she would be so decisive.
Ye Chenxuan touched the corner of his mouth, pondering in his heart.
This woman first turned a blind eye to him in front of the house, and now she agreed to terminate the engagement. This trick of playing hard to get is really interesting.
Chu Huaian ordered someone to bring the marriage document and the agreement that had been drawn up long ago. Chu Qingwan scanned it at a glance and signed it without hesitation. The agreement came into effect and the marriage document was destroyed on the spot.
Chu Huaian's face lit up and he was quite satisfied: "You know the general idea, from now on, you will have nothing to do with Chen Xuan and the Ye family."
"Taking this opportunity, I am determined to betroth Yue'er to Chen Xuan. The Ye family will choose a day to come and betrothal her. When the two of them get married, I will give Yue'er three villages and ten shops as a dowry."
Chu Qingyue was overjoyed, but her expression was calm: "Thank you, dad. However, Yue'er is content to be your and your mother's daughter. Dad treats her so kindly, and Yue'er deserves it."
Mrs. Liu smiled happily: "You deserve this."
The two of you rejected each other, and it was a deep love between mother and daughter.
Chu Qingwan watched with cold eyes, ridiculing in his heart.
Just when the matter was about to be finalized, Mr. Chu slapped the table: "I don't agree! How can an outsider, who has been unkind to the Chu family, get so many benefits for nothing?"
Chu Huaian was frustrated after being criticized one after another.
His eyes darkened slightly and he said: "This is what I promised Yue'er a long time ago. All Zhuangzi's shops are also property in my name. No matter how unhappy you are, dad, these also belong to Yue'er."
"You——" the old man was shaking with anger, "Okay, okay, okay!"
"My biological daughter is living abroad, but you parents don't care about her, but you love and dote on outsiders. You parents have done a great job!"
"Since you hurt her like this, don't blame me for being partial! Chu Hua, go get all the real estate deeds from me!"
