Zhang Ning looked very surprised. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears of excitement from being proposed to by her lover.

“I… Of course I’m willing.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Yan Bing put a ring on Zhang Ning.

He pulled Zhang Ning up and bowed deeply to the Yan family.

“Elders of the Yan family, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I really want to be with Xiao Ning. I hope you can agree to our marriage.”

Yan Hong sneered. He did not look at his great-grandson but at Zhang Heng.

“Zhang Heng, as the current head of the Zhang family, what do you think?”

“Uncle Yan, our youngest daughter has been spoiled by us. But we should respect the thoughts of the young. We didn’t expect Yan Bin to suddenly do this.”

Meng Lin chimed in, “That’s right, Uncle Yan. We really didn’t expect this child to quietly find a boyfriend for herself. Ningning is usually very obedient.”

“I’m sorry, Dad and Mom. Mr. Yan, it’s my fault. I’ve always been dating Yan Bin, but I’ve never told you or visited the Yan family. I didn’t expect Yan Bin to be like this today. I hope you won’t blame him. We’re really in love.”

Looking at Zhang Ning’s hypocritical face, Yan Mo snorted.

She turned around and asked Yan Bin, “What about you? Yan Bin, what do you think? If our Yan family doesn’t agree to your marriage today, what will you do?”

“I won’t get married. I’ll wait for Ningning.” Yan Bin suddenly knelt down. “Great Aunt, I really love Ningning. I hope you won’t despise her because of her background.”

Yan Mo rolled his eyes at Yan Bin and cursed in his heart. What a scheming child.

“Zhang Heng, you have to know that our Yan Huai is engaged to your daughter.” Yan Hong took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Zhang Heng rubbed his hands in embarrassment. “Yes, but we still have an elder daughter called Qi Ying. She’s a fraternal twin with this child. We can let her marry Yan Huai.”

Yan Hong gently put down his teacup and slowly took a bite of the food in front of him.

Zhang Heng looked at Yan Hong nervously, afraid that he would tell him about the annulment of the engagement.

“It’s just that Yan Huai’s health isn’t good now. You know that. Are you and your wife willing to marry Qi Ying over?”

Meng Lin hurriedly said, “This is an engagement set by our ancestors. It’s not good for us to cancel it. Moreover, Yan Huai has a good character. When he recovers in the future, he will also be a young talent. It’s our Qi Ying who’s out of his league.”

Yan Hong did not want to cancel the engagement. He only wanted to test the Zhang parents’ attitude towards Qi Ying.

As expected, the Zhang family wanted to use two marriages to tie the Yan family down.

One was the head of the Yan family, and the other was the eldest grandson of the Yan family. There would always be one who would be a pillar of the Yan family in the future.

What a cunning businessman!

“Since you agree, the two marriages are settled. However, Qi Ying has to stay at my house in advance. Do you agree?”

Meng Lin hurriedly nodded. “Sure, sure.”

She only realized that she had lost her composure after being pulled by Zhang Heng. She smiled awkwardly.

“Zhang Ning…”

“Our family doesn’t approve of this marriage, but because Yan Bin is willing, we’ll let him be,” Yan Hong said.

“After that, we might have to announce the engagement and marriage…”

“The Yan Family’s ceremony will be conducted but the people won’t be present. We don’t approve of this marriage, so there’s no need to inform Old Master.” Yan Jiang said.

The parents of the Zhang family nodded, and Zhang Ning’s face gradually darkened.

Why? She was so much better than Qi Ying and was even a little famous in Baicheng. Why wasn’t she approved?

The meal was not a happy one. The Yan family left early. Yan Bing also left with Zhang Ning.

The Zhang parents sat in their seats and looked at the empty seats.

Zhang Heng slammed his chopsticks on the ground. “This Yan family only has money. What do they mean by always being cheap to us?!”

“Don’t be angry, Hubby. Once Yan Huai falls, won’t the Yan family be under Yan Bin and Yan Yang? Hasn’t their plan already begun?”

At the mention of Yan Yang, Zhang Heng nodded. “Indeed. Perhaps it will be the world of that branch in the future. Yan Hong, this old man, is nothing.”

Zhang Heng picked up his chopsticks and picked up the food on his plate to eat.

This meal was not cheap. He did not want to waste it.

“As long as that child Zhang Ning holds Yan Bin down firmly, our good days will come later.”
