The marriage between He Hongye and Zhang Zhenting was a baby. It was a verbal agreement and had no legal effect. Therefore, if He Hongye decided to break off the engagement, no one could do anything about it.
However, as one of the top richest men in Austria, He Hongye has always been a man of his word. To go back on his word like this will undoubtedly lose his credibility and face. But if it is not a last resort, who would be willing to break his promise!
Therefore, He Hongye apologized repeatedly and gave the Zhang family enough face, and then left without caring whether they agreed or not.
But as soon as he went out, Zhang Zhenting couldn't help but slam the cup in his hand to the ground, and then walked into the study.
Zhang Dingkun and his son looked at each other and followed in one after another.
After evacuating all the servants, there were only three people left in the study.
The anger on Zhang Zhenting's face has completely disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, as if the anger just now was all fake.
After a while, he frowned and said, "He suddenly broke off the engagement, was it because of that mainland guy, or because he saw something?"
"I guess there are two reasons!" Zhang Dingkun said, looking at his son and saying with hatred: "After all, I still blame you!"
Zhang Jun said with a confused look: "Dad, how can you blame me for this?"
Zhang Dingkun pointed at him and said: "If you had been stronger and cooked the raw rice earlier, how could you have given that mainland boy a chance to take advantage of you?"
Zhang Jun wanted to refute, but he couldn't. He was indeed not tough enough when dealing with He Xinxin. In the past seven years, although he and He Xinxin had not had many opportunities to be alone together, there really didn't need to be many such opportunities. Just once was enough.
But the problem is that he never thought of asking the Overlord to bow.
Zhang Zhenting shook his head and said: "You can't blame Jun'er for this. If you want to blame it, it's that guy from Mainland China who came out of nowhere. If he hadn't been disrupting the situation, everything would have been under our control. Now he's messing with it like this
, our position is completely messed up."
Zhang Jundao: "Dad, grandpa, how should we remedy it now?"
Zhang Dingkun said bitterly: "With Mr. He breaking off the engagement, all our plans will come to nothing and it will be difficult to remedy the situation!"
Zhang Zhenting said: "But it has been brewing for so long, why should we just give up?"
Zhang Dingkun said: "Unless there is a way to make Mr. He change his mind!"
Zhang Zhenting said: "You mean..."
Zhang Dingkun said: "Aren't the He family making trouble with the mainland boy now? Then get rid of the mainland boy. Let's see if they have any other reasons to break off the engagement?"
Zhang Zhenting said: "But I heard that the mainland boy is now living in the He family, living together with He Xinxin, and he has become the son-in-law of the He family. Even if he is dealt with by then, Jun'er will marry He Xinxin
Well, outsiders will also laugh at us!"
Zhang Dingkun shook his head and said: "Dad, the most valuable thing in the He family now is He Xinxin. It has nothing to do with whether she is a broken shoe or not. What we want is not a daughter-in-law, but a trump card!"
Zhang Zhenting said: "What do you want?"
Zhang Dingkun said: "Let's make it clear that we will never cancel the engagement! The original plan will continue to be implemented, but two more people will have to be included."
Zhang Zhenting asked: "Who should be counted?"
Zhang Dingkun said: "One is the mainland boy, and the other is naturally the old immortal just now! If he hadn't died, the He family wouldn't have been in chaos, and without the chaos we wouldn't have had a chance!"
Zhang Zhenting pondered for a while and then said: "Then let's do it!"
Zhang Dingkun then asked: "Ajun, do you understand what your grandfather and I mean?"
Zhang Jun nodded, "I understand!"
Zhang Dingkun said: "You have been in contact with me over there. You go and communicate with me. Is it okay?"
Zhang Jundao: "Grandpa, dad, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Zhang Zhenting reached out and patted his grandson on the shoulder, "I know you are hurt the most by this matter, but a man is upright and must be able to bend and stretch. If you feel a little wronged, just endure it!"
Zhang Jun didn't say anything, just nodded and left. However, the plan he was going to implement included not only Lin Hao but also He Xinxin. He was just waiting for everything to settle.
It will be her turn.
―――――――
At this end, the convoy is on its way back to the He family manor.
He Xinxin saw that her grandfather had been sullen since he came out of Zhang's house, and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, how are things going?"
He Hongye shook his head and said: "The Zhang family has a very tough attitude and refuses to break off the engagement!"
He Xinxin said: "Can't we compensate them?"
He Hongye said: "No, they don't mention compensation at all."
It was a life-long matter, He Xinxin said anxiously: "What should we do?"
"No need to do anything!" He Hongye said domineeringly: "If I say no to this marriage, then I have to do so! It's not their Zhang family's turn to say no."
After hearing these words, He Xinxin felt relieved slightly. Although grandpa is old, he is definitely the backbone of the He family. As long as he is still there, as long as he decides, there will be no change.
Maybe. So I squeezed Lin Hao's hand and told him not to worry.
Lin Hao didn't worry too much, because even if He Hongye didn't withdraw from this marriage, he would sabotage it and completely mess up the matter. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. He..."
He Xinxin lightly slapped his hand and said: "What old man, what old man, call me grandpa."
Lin Hao had no choice but to change his words: "Grandpa, do you think the Zhang family might be involved in the matter between Uncle He and Aunt Xie!"
"I'm not sure!" He Hongye shook his head and sighed slightly, "As I get older, there are many things that I can't see clearly. But the ambitions of the Zhang family are well known to everyone. If it weren't for them being the biggest enemy, I wouldn't have figured it out.
Marriage is a bad idea!"
Lin Hao took advantage of the situation and started to flatter him: "Grandpa, why is he old? It's obvious that the sword is not old, it is getting stronger with age, and the old man is pushing the cart, but he is not dead when he is old..."
"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about?" He Xinxin hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "If you don't speak Chinese well, don't mess around, okay? It's very scary, do you know?"
Lin Hao pushed her hand away and said with a confused look, "What did I say wrong?"
He Xinxin said: "It's all wrong!"
Lin Hao said: "Should it be that we should be senile, old but not strong, old..."
He Xinxin smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "My enemy, can you just shut your mouth?"
Lin Hao originally wanted to speak, but when he looked up at He Hongye, he found that his face was already livid, so he had to endure it.
After a while, He Hongye's expression returned to normal, and he took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, this is the only thing I can do for you. What happens next depends on your own destiny."
Lin Hao said: "Well, thank you, grandpa. I will also be responsible for Uncle He and Aunt Xie's affairs."
He Xinxin said: "Are you talking about a deal?"
Although this is a joke, seriously speaking, it is really a deal.
The old one and the young one looked at each other with smiles on their faces, like two foxes...
