Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yan Yang was the grandson of Yan Hong’s brother, Yan Hai. Their family had also done some business with the Yan family over the years, so they could be considered rich.

But Yan Hai died early, and now his son Yan Ping was in charge of the property and business.

Yan Ping did not inherit Yan Hai’s honesty and hard work. He was full of schemes and had caused trouble for Yan Huai’s business many times.

At that time, Yan Huai had dealt with Yan Ping and asked him to do his business honestly.

This year, after Yan Huai fell sick, Yan Ping started to make a comeback.

Yan Bin and Yan Ping’s child, Yan Yang, had always got along very well.

Back then, Yan Hong thought that since they were two children, it was fine to play more, so he let the two of them play together.

After Yan Bin entered university, he lived with Yan Yang in the apartment that Yan Yang’s father had left for him. From the looks of it, Yan Bin might have colluded with Yan Ping recently.

“Go and investigate.” Yan Hong said, “Yan Bin has been relying on Yan Huai since he was young. Now that such a big thing has happened to Yan Huai, it’s not appropriate for him to collude with Yan Ping’s family.”

Yan Jiang nodded and silently memorized it.

“Let’s not make our stance clear about the marriage between the Zhang family and Yan Bin for the time being. Let’s see how the Zhang family deals with Miss Qi before we talk about his marriage.”

Yan Mo nodded.

Originally, Yan Hong wanted to cancel the engagement with the Zhang family, but if the engagement was with Qi Ying, Yan Hong felt that he could leave the choice to Qi Ying.

He selfishly hoped that Qi Ying could continue the engagement with Yan Huai and resolve the problem of the evil spirit contract, but he felt that it was not good to tie a girl up like this for the rest of her life.

Yan Hong thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. It was better to let the children solve this matter themselves.

After the Yan family discussed for a while, the few juniors returned to their rooms to sleep.

At this moment, a huge argument broke out in the Zhang family.

Qi Ying stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the ashtray that had been smashed by Zhang Heng. There were fragments all over the ground and lights were flickering on it.

When she was about to go upstairs just now, if she did not have a special premonition, she would have been smashed in the head by this thing.

“You’re really an unfilial daughter. I’m talking to you. Don’t you have any manners? Are you looking down on me as your father?”

Qi Ying looked at him in confusion. “You have no right to interfere with my personal freedom.”

“Your personal freedom. Without me, you might still be living in the countryside. If I hadn’t brought you back from the mountains, would you have such a good life now?” Zhang Heng frowned and scolded.

“Who asked you to come back so late without telling your family? Are you so uneducated?” Meng Lin chimed in.

The Zhang family’s parents and Qi Ying stood between a pile of glass shards. No servant dared to clean them up.

Zhang Heng had a bad temper. He would smash things whenever he was unhappy. The servants knew his temper and naturally did not dare to provoke him.

“I originally thought that you had a good upbringing. How can you live up to my arrangements for you in your current state?” Meng Lin said angrily.

“Arrangements?” Qi Ying asked.

Meng Lin held up the few pieces of paper in front of her. “Look, this is the dowry list we prepared for you. You’re engaged to the Yan family, the number one family in Baicheng and your marriage will happen soon. Look, the gowns have been sent over today. We’ve arranged so much for you, and this is how you repay me?”

Qi Ying looked at the blue dress on the sofa. It was decorated with Swarovski crystals and various laces.

However, the curves of the dress were rather exaggerated. It was obvious that it was not Qi Ying’s size.

Qi Ying looked at it and said calmly, “That dress belongs to Zhang Ning, right? It’s not mine.”

Her eyes were cold, making Meng Lin shudder.

That dress was indeed not Qi Ying’s. The dress they had prepared for Qi Ying was similar to this dress, but it did not have such a luxurious crystal design. It was an ordinary blue gown.

Why should Qi Ying wearing something so eye-catching for her engagement banquet? She might as well prepare something eye-catching for Zhang Ning to attract the attention of those young masters from noble families.

Moreover, she had just gone to the Yan family today. The Yan family did not mention anything about the engagement banquet. All of this was just an excuse for the Zhang family’s parents to criticize her.

Qi Ying only felt sad.

In the eyes of her parents, who only cared about profit, her daughter was just a tool.
