Chapter 196: Engagement Cancelled

However, the Zhuge family actually came on the day of the Zheng family's engagement, which really shocked everyone present, and they all speculated about the relationship between the Zheng family and the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Yue brought a middle-aged man with her this time. This middle-aged man should be a member of Zhuge Yue's family.

The Old Matriarch standing on the stage also didn't expect that someone from the Zhuge family would come. You must know that she knew the situation of the Zheng family like the back of her hand; the Zheng family had no connection with the Zhuge family at all. Now that the Zhuge family suddenly appeared today, and at this critical moment, the Old Matriarch felt that this might not necessarily be a good thing.

The Old Matriarch hurriedly walked to the front and said to the people of the Zhuge family: "Welcome, Zhuge family. I really don't know what wind blew today to actually disturb you!"

That middle-aged man from the Zhuge family smiled, cupped his hands at the Old Matriarch, and said: "Old Matriarch Zheng, you are too polite. I am Zhuge Lin of the Zhuge family, and this is my daughter Zhuge Yue. We came today because there is something to discuss with Old Matriarch Zheng!"

Hearing this, the Old Matriarch Zheng was startled, then tentatively asked: "What matter? Is it convenient to talk here?"

"It is said that Old Matriarch Zheng is talented and reasonable. Now it seems it is indeed true. This matter is indeed not convenient to talk about here!" Zhuge Lin then left here with the Old Matriarch Zheng to discuss the matter.

The people remaining in the venue were all discussing and arguing endlessly. Even Ding Yang began to argue. Ding Yang said angrily: "What could the Zhuge family and the Zheng family have to discuss? And they have to talk about it elsewhere. Father, what do you think is going on?"

Ding Yang's father thought carefully and said: "This matter is not necessarily a good thing for the Zheng family. If it were really a good thing, why wouldn't they say it in public? The more they hide it, the more it shows there is a problem. Even if the Zheng family and the Zhuge family have a relationship, I guess it's not a big relationship. It's not certain that the Zhuge family will support the Zheng family!"

Hearing his father say this, Ding Yang felt relieved. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be able to accept it in his heart. Originally, they couldn't do anything about Zheng Yun, and if the Zhuge family helped the Zheng family later, their situation would be even more awkward.

Not long after, the Old Matriarch Zheng came out, but her face didn't look very good when she came out, as if something big had happened. However, seeing this scene, I was overjoyed, thinking that most likely Zhuge Yue's matter had succeeded, and today's engagement might be over.

Sure enough, the Old Matriarch Zheng walked onto the stage and said apologetically to everyone: "I am very sorry, everyone. Because something happened at home, the engagement matter is temporarily shelved. Moreover, Xiaohuan and the others are still young, and getting engaged now is indeed a bit inappropriate. So, today's engagement will be discussed in the future. Everyone, eat and drink well today, it's all on my Zheng family. I am very sorry, everyone!"

Hearing the Old Matriarch Zheng's words, everyone present exclaimed in surprise, and they all speculated about what had happened to make the Zheng family publicly cancel this engagement in front of so many people. Although it was said to be an internal matter of the Zheng family, after all, it was something that had been decided long ago, and suddenly going back on it clearly showed that something had happened to shelve it. This matter was mostly related to the previous Zhuge family.

The people in the venue slowly began to leave. After all, there was nothing left to see, and everyone dispersed. As for me, I was even more stunned, not knowing how Zhuge Yue had done it. However, being able to make the Old Matriarch suffer, I have to say Zhuge Yue is really too powerful.

However, Xiaohuan cried non-stop upon hearing this news, not understanding why the engagement was suddenly cancelled. The people of the Zheng family present were also very strange, but hindered by so many people present, it wasn't easy to ask the Old Matriarch about this matter.

After much difficulty, waiting for everyone to leave, the people below couldn't help but ask the Old Matriarch: "Old Matriarch, why is this? How could something decided suddenly not be done?"

The Old Matriarch's face was not good, and she snorted and shouted angrily at everyone: "You all shut up! No one is allowed to ask about today's matter!"

After speaking, she turned around and went back. Seeing the Old Matriarch in a fit of anger, everyone knew that something had mostly happened, and they didn't dare to ask. However, Xiaohuan was not reconciled.

Xiaohuan ran to the Old Matriarch crying and asked: "Grandmother, why? I want Brother Yang Yun, I want Brother Yang Yun!"

Seeing Xiaohuan, the Old Matriarch Zheng sighed helplessly and said: "Xiaohuan, I know your heart, but Brother Yang Yun's identity is unusual, and he already had an engagement early on. You might not have this fortune!"

Hearing this, Xiaohuan was unhappy and immediately cried and said: "I don't want that, I just want Brother Yang Yun. I will not marry anyone but Brother Yang Yun in this life. I don't care!"

The Old Matriarch Zheng heard Xiaohuan's crying and was very annoyed. She was furious and shouted: "Stop crying!"

Hearing the Old Matriarch's roar, Xiaohuan was so scared she didn't dare to cry anymore, because she knew the Old Matriarch was really angry. Although she was very aggrieved, she had no choice and could only hold it in.

These past few days, Xiaohuan had been crying beside me, telling me this and that. I felt very uncomfortable, but I could only let Xiaohuan be like this.

Although Ding Yang was still angry at me, he didn't take action against me. It seemed the previous matter had taken effect. Without Ding Yang's matter, I lived a relatively comfortable life these days. However, those people in the Zheng family didn't treat me very well. Perhaps because I was no longer the Zheng family's grandson-in-law, their attitude towards me became unusually bad. Added to the fact that the Old Matriarch Zheng didn't treat me well these days, they became even worse.

The Old Matriarch Zheng's attitude towards me had become like this, mostly likely because of the previous Zhuge Yue matter. What exactly did the Zhuge family say to the Zheng family to make the Old Matriarch suddenly treat me so poorly? Perhaps I was useful to the Old Matriarch Zheng before, but now because of the Zhuge family's situation, I was useless to the Old Matriarch, so naturally, I was not treated well by the Old Matriarch.

These days I also got a phone, and the contact information for Third Brother from before was also forgotten. It wasn't easy to contact them. Since the Zheng family didn't need me anymore, I didn't want to linger here anymore. I wanted to go back. After all, there was no point in being here.

But the only thing I couldn't let go of now was Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan seemed to be fine now and was deeply loved by the Old Matriarch, but the Zheng family's water was deep. If I left, and after the Old Matriarch left, Xiaohuan would definitely be bullied by these people in the Zheng family. Bullying might be the best-case scenario; if they were more sinister, she might even be in danger of her life. If that were the case, my previous promise would be like dog shit. ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
