Chapter 92:
“I’m giving you these words too.” Meng Shuyou said while washing her hands at the faucet: “But the matter of you breaking off the engagement with the Zhao Family has become known to everyone. You probably don’t even have the value for a marriage alliance anymore.”
Mentioning this matter, Meng Yan couldn’t control her emotion. “Was it really you who leaked the news at the hospital?”
Meng Shuyou raised her eyes to look at the mirror, her lips curving slightly, a smile floating on the surface. “So what if it was me? Compared to what you did to me before, this is nothing.”
Meng Yan walked toward her, her eyes glaring in anger. “It really was you!”
Meng Shuyou pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands, her voice low and cold. “When I was little, you locked me in the basement warehouse for a whole night. The puppy I brought back was killed by you. You threw away the keepsake my mother left me. And once, you pushed me into the lake and I nearly drowned. You haven’t forgotten all these, have you?”
These were only a part of it.
Meng Yan’s face was nearly twisted. “You deserved all that! That’s the fate of an illegitimate daughter!”
Meng Shuyou was used to even harsher words. Her expression remained indifferent. “Then let’s see whose fate is worse. Tell me, if the outside world finds out that you were dumped because of a false pregnancy, how will you handle yourself in the future.”
Meng Yan was furious, raising her hand to slap her hard across the face. “This is my payback to you! If you dare to spout nonsense outside, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Meng Shuyou didn’t have time to dodge. Clear finger marks appeared on her fair cheek, quickly becoming red and swollen.
Afraid she would retaliate, Meng Yan turned and left the bathroom in her high heels.
Meng Shuyou licked the corner of her mouth, a gloomy chill flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Before returning to the private room, she applied some powder to cover the slap mark on her face.
No one in the private room would stand up for her. Appearing in disarray would only bring her more trouble.
She returned to her seat and sat down. No one noticed anything unusual.
Meng Yan kept her gaze slightly lowered, actually feeling quite uneasy inside, worried that Meng Shuyou would complain to Dad.
Lin Peilan smiled and said: “Yaoyao, the engagement date between you and Huai’an has been set. September 8th, which happens to be a good day for forging a happy marriage.”
Meng Zhenhua chimed in: “After the engagement, you two can pick another day to get the marriage certificate first. The wedding can be planned a bit later…”
Before he finished speaking, the private room door was suddenly pushed open. “Who’s getting married? Why didn’t you invite me?”
Multiple pairs of eyes turned toward the doorway at the same time.
Xu Huai’an knew him and greeted him. “Young Master Zhao, why are you here?”
“To join in the fun.” Zhao Hesong strode in, casually pulling out a chair to sit down. “So how do you plan to handle this marriage? Let me hear it.”
Whoever was courting death dared to marry Meng Shuyou.
Meng Yan couldn’t guess Zhao Hesong’s intention for showing up here. Could it be that he really liked Meng Shuyou and was stepping in to sabotage this marriage alliance for her?
Absolutely not. She couldn’t marry into the Zhao Family, so why should Meng Shuyou be able to.
Meng Zhenhua had fallen out with the Zhao Family over the breaking off engagement and couldn’t afford to offend Zhao Hesong, so he could only swallow his anger and say: “Sorry, today is our family banquet. We really don’t have time to entertain Young Master Zhao.”
“Family banquet?”
Zhao Hesong cursed inwardly: Courting death.
“I’m kindly reminding you. If your Meng Family still wants to survive in the business world, hurry up and send Meng Shuyou to America to study. Don’t get any ideas about her.”
Meng Zhenhua had some status in the social circle after all. How could he tolerate a younger generation speaking to him like this? “This is our family matter. Young Master Zhao has no right to interfere. Your Zhao Family hasn’t reached the point where you can cover the sky with one hand, has it?”
“I don’t have that ability, but someone does.” Zhao Hesong snorted with a laugh, leaning leisurely against the chair back. “Do you believe that tomorrow all your Meng Family’s projects will be halted, and the stock price will plummet until you go bankrupt?”
