Chapter 106 Divorce him
Yan Lan has a tough attitude and will never give in on the matter of her daughter's wedding.
Since the Xu family and his wife were still present, the topic of the wedding ultimately centered around Shangguan Yu and Xu Ziyuan.
The Shangguan family adheres to the traditional concept, and every process of the wedding preparation must be carried out according to the rules left by the ancestors.
The order of marriage proposal, appointment, engagement, and marriage cannot be messed up or missing.
The three books and six rites are indispensable.
The elders chatted happily, while the young people were almost drowsy.
"Xiao Zhi, I think it is a wise choice for you not to hold a wedding. After listening to grandpa explain this set of procedures, I no longer want to get married."
Shangguan Yu lowered his voice and complained softly in his sister's ear. She felt tired just sitting here and listening.
On the wedding day, wouldn’t you be so exhausted?
Li Fei smiled softly and expressed sympathy: "Sister, you have been the eldest lady of the Shangguan family for thirty years, so you must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
No, even if you are so sleepy that you can't even lift your eyelids, you still have to straighten your back and sit upright.
Shangguan Yu sighed deeply. Silence was better than sound at this time.
Not only is she under a lot of pressure, everything she says and does outside represents the face of the Shangguan family.
It is no exaggeration to say that the first lesson she has ever learned is to learn what to say to whom she meets.
The identity of Miss Shangguan is like a huge halo. While enjoying the light it brings, you must also be able to bear the burden it brings.
The engagement party is scheduled for a week later, which means that Li Fei's return to H City will have to be postponed for a few days.
Li Fei and Shangguan Yu lived in the west wing. From the moment she stepped into Beiling, the light rain never stopped.
The cold wind blew by, and the branches and leaves of the plum blossom tree in the house swayed with the wind and made a rustling sound. The cat meowed from nowhere, making people's scalp numb.
The more bizarre the atmosphere is, the more likely something will suddenly happen.
Li Fei was about to close the window, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, which made her heart tremble slightly.
"Knock Knock Knock-"
Following two short and one long knocks on the door, the servant's voice came from outside: "Second Miss, are you asleep? Madam wants me to ask you to go to the east wing."
"Oh, okay, coming right away."
Li Fei patted his chest, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, picked up his coat and pushed the door open.
Walking into the study room in the main hall of the east wing, I found that Yan Lan's face was gloomy, as if he wanted to eat someone, and...why was Xu Ziyuan here so late?
Li Fei's heart skipped a beat when he saw this posture. What happened?
"Mom, the servant said you were looking for me."
She tried to slow down her tone and nodded to Xu Ziyuan beside her.
Xu Ziyuan put a modest smile on his face and nodded politely.
"Xiao Zhi is here, don't sit down first."
Yanlan waved to her and motioned for her to sit down, tapping the paper portfolio on the table with her fingers, her expression slightly serious.
Li Fei pursed his lips, pulled out the chair and sat down, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the file bag.
"Xiao Zhi, are you happy in your marriage with Mr. Fu?"
As soon as she sat down, Yan Lan asked a surprising question, which stunned Li Fei.
"Mom, why do you suddenly ask this..."
Li Fei frowned in confusion, with a vague premonition in his heart.
Mom called Fu Lingheng the son of the Fu family, not the son-in-law. It was obvious that she knew something.
Sure enough, next, Yan Lan dropped another bomb: "Divorce him. Can mom find a partner for you who is worthy of your lifelong trust?"
She was deceived by Fu Lingheng's appearance in City H before. She thought that her daughter would have a happy marriage after marrying into the Fu family and that she would be loved by her husband.
Unexpectedly, there is another secret.
In the first three years of marriage, Fu Lingheng barely stayed home, and even ran to the eldest daughter of the Li family unscrupulously, turning a blind eye to his own daughter, who was simply more of a stranger than a stranger.
No wonder they don't have a wedding.
After looking through the recent hot topics on the Internet, I found that the identity of my daughter, Mrs. Fu, was just made public not long ago.
It makes no sense. After all, the Fu family is one of the few wealthy families in H city, but they don't pay much attention to marrying her daughter into the family!
Yanlan will never allow her daughter to suffer these injustices!
"Mom, are you kidding me?"
Li Fei felt his head pounding, and he was completely confused.
She suspected that she was having auditory hallucinations in her ears. Was her mother going to find a new partner for her who was worthy of being entrusted to her for life?
"Xiao Zhi, mom is telling you this very seriously. Fu Lingheng has ignored you for three years, and now after you filed for divorce, he suddenly pursues you. This shows how much he cares about you. Emotions are so fake and ridiculous!”
At this point, Yan Lan paused and continued in a calm tone: "If A Yuan hadn't been thoughtful enough to send someone to H City again this time, we would still be kept in the dark. You It’s the baby my mother gave birth to after ten months of hard work. You haven’t enjoyed a day of maternal love in more than 20 years, and it’s not easy to find you back. How can my mother bear to let you suffer any more injustice?”
She said with red eyes and choked up.
Li Fei bit his lips, a trace of moisture escaped from the corners of his eyes, and raised his eyelids to glance at Xu Ziyuan who was standing aside.
The other party didn't seem to care about the cold eyes she cast on him. His calm and calm appearance seemed to be far different from the one he met in the back garden during the day.
What kind of medicine does her future brother-in-law sell in his gourd?
You haven't married your sister yet, so you can intervene in the internal affairs of the Shangguan family?
"Mom, there was indeed a misunderstanding between Fu Lingheng and I, but... the misunderstanding has been resolved long ago."
She tried to comfort Yan Lan, hoping that she could eliminate her prejudice against Fu Lingheng.
However, Yanlan only believed what she saw and understood with her own eyes, and did not buy it at all.
She retorted resolutely, restrained her overly harsh tone, and persuaded her sincerely: "Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, the damage he has caused to you is irreparable. Such a person is not worthy of you entrusting him with the rest of your life. Listen to your mother and divorce him. As the second young lady of the Shangguan family, you can guarantee that you will be able to pick a man whose family background and character are worthy of yours, okay?"
There was a sad sound of rain outside the window, and there was a pool of stagnant water in the study, filled with an extremely suffocating atmosphere.
Li Fei instantly understood where the information in the portfolio came from.
She looked at Xu Ziyuan indifferently, trying her best to restrain the faint anger in her eyes, and said in a lukewarm tone: "I thought Mr. Xu was a gentle and elegant young man from a rich family. But when I saw him today, I really made a mistake."
Yan Lan's expression softened slightly. She was worried that her daughter would be hostile to Xu Ziyuan. She pulled her sleeves and whispered to dissuade her: "Xiao Zhi, you can't be so rude to your brother-in-law. He is also doing it for your own good."
"I have only known him for a few days. Even if he is a brother-in-law, he should not stretch his hands too far and interfere in his sister-in-law's marriage without authorization."
Li Fei regretted acknowledging this family relationship, and even more regretted coming to Beiling.
She should stay peacefully by her grandfather's side and live her old life well, with friends and a job she likes.
When you have free time, you can stay at home, read a book, and drink tea, instead of being like now, where there are rules and etiquette everywhere, and you feel like you are participating in a palace fight every time you talk.
"Miss Zhi, don't be so angry. I was just asked by my aunt to investigate some of your past. I heard that Miss Zhi has superb violin skills. I didn't expect that Teacher Tong Renshan paid for you to learn..."
Xu Ziyuan was not annoyed, but instead chatted with her about violin-related topics, with a relaxed tone: "To be honest with Miss Zhi, I studied violin for a few years when I was a child, but unfortunately I gave up without the talent. Coincidentally, I also graduated from Snow University. Yes, we are schoolmates with Miss Zhi."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
He inexplicably changed the topic and started talking to her about a lot of things. The finance major at Snow University was the best in the country. Is it any wonder that he graduated from Snow University as a kid from a rich family?
Xu Ziyuan pursed his lips and chuckled: "Mr. Fu and I are competitors in the finance department. He is always first in every performance ranking, and I am second."
Ah.
After doing it for a long time, he is a million-year-old man.
Li Fei laughed angrily, "You're jealous of him, so why do you do this?"
Xu Ziyuan denied it flatly: "Miss Zhi, don't think too narrowly of me. I really think from the perspective of a family member who is about to become a family member. I think you should listen to your aunt's advice. After all...marriage is not a child's play."
"Then I should thank Mr. Xu for taking the trouble?"
Li Feipi smiled but said in his heart, "It's none of your business." He turned around to receive Yan Lan's gaze and swallowed his words.
"Miss Zhi, you're welcome."
Xu Ziyuan's expression remained unchanged, with a gentle and decent look on his face.
Li Fei silently rolled his eyes countless times in his heart and secretly cursed: "What kind of vision do the elders of the Shangguan family have? Do they choose their son-in-law with their eyes closed?" How could Shangguan Yu be married to such a 'despicable and shameless villain'! 】
A small family meeting with only Li Fei as the 'victim' was forced to come to an end because of a phone call from Yan Lan.
"Xiao Zhi, the old lady of the Zhou family is having a birthday party the day after tomorrow. Can you go with your mother?"
He stepped out of the door and paused. Li Fei looked back: "I have a video work meeting and I might not be able to go."
She was not in H City these two days, and Chi Wen called her several times to ask her when she could go back. She said that Director Li of the Grand Theater had invited her to be the music director of "A Loud New Singing".
Rather than being the distinguished Second Miss Shangguan here, she would rather go back to H City and be her violinist.
At least free and unfettered.
Yanlan was too strict with her. Even though she had just started the family tree for two days, she still did not fall behind on the rules she should learn.
For example, at this moment, she refused to go to Zhou's house on the grounds of work, but was still strongly rejected by Yan Lan: "Grandpa is getting old, and your sister is busy preparing for the engagement. You are the only one who can accompany your mother at home."
Li Fei had the illusion of being PUA. He slowly closed his hand holding the door frame and gave a muffled 'hmm' without looking back.
