Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Miss Song has her own ways

"Zixuan! What do you mean by that?" Old Master Yu looked at Yang Zixuan, a hint of scrutiny in his kind eyes, "It's said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you..."

"Grandpa." Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a voice interrupted Old Master Yu's unfinished words.

The few people turned their heads to look, and saw Wang Dengfeng pushing a wheelchair in from outside.

Yu Tingzhi wore a black shirt, sitting in the wheelchair just like that, his sharply defined features expressionless, his thin lips almost pressed into a line. Coming against the light, he exuded an indescribable aura.

Preciousness mingled with abstinence.

Even sitting in a wheelchair, he couldn't be ignored.

If no one said it, who would believe that such a person was actually the famous good-for-nothing of Jiang City.

Looking at Yu Tingzhi in the wheelchair, Old Master Yu was both happy and distressed, his expression very complicated, "Tingzhi."

This youngest grandson of his was the pride of his life, and also the unspeakable pain of his life.

Wang Dengfeng, standing behind Yu Tingzhi, politely greeted him, "Grandpa Yu."

"Dengfeng." Old Master Yu nodded.

Yang Zixuan glanced at Yu Tingzhi, the look of disgust in her eyes almost overflowing.

Besides a face that could bewitch all living beings, what else did Yu Tingzhi have?

A useless person who could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!

He was simply the shame of the entire Yu family, yet Old Master Yu, that old fool, couldn't recognize a treasure even when it was right in front of his eyes.

Yang Zixuan's expression changed several times, and finally she said with a smile, "Tingzhi! You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, Grandpa would have interrogated every one of us!"

This sarcastic tone, if it were anyone else, they would definitely get angry and retort.

But who was Yu Tingzhi?

A good-for-nothing who couldn't even pass the high school entrance exam, what right did he have to be angry?

Unless Yu Tingzhi didn't want to stay in the Yu family anymore.

"Zixuan, if you don't know how to speak properly, say less! Grandpa is also thinking about the harmony between you brothers." Madam Yu, Fang Minghui, walked in from outside the door.

Yang Zixuan glanced at her mother-in-law, who was equally biased, and reluctantly closed her mouth.

Fang Minghui walked to Old Master Yu's side, "Dad."

Old Master Yu nodded, "Where's Zhihong?"

"On a business trip," Fang Minghui replied.

"Always so busy!" Old Master Yu frowned, "Seeing that Tingzhi and the Song family girl's matter is almost upon us, as a father, doesn't he know to worry a bit?"

There were only ten days left until the engagement date agreed upon by the two families, yet Yu Zhihong, as a father, hadn't even started preparing!

Hearing this, Yang Zixuan narrowed her eyes.

No wonder the old fool suddenly came back, so it was because of this!

Wang Dengfeng spoke up at the right time, "Grandpa Yu, Auntie, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll go back first."

The Yu family's situation was quite complicated, and it was definitely inappropriate for him, an outsider, to continue staying.

"Good child, thank you for bringing our Tingzhi back," Old Master Yu looked at Wang Dengfeng and said kindly, "I'll have the driver take you."

Wang Dengfeng waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, Grandpa Yu, I drove here myself."

"Then come over to play tomorrow, and we grandfather and grandson will have a good drink." Old Master Yu continued.

"Okay, Grandpa Yu."

With that, Wang Dengfeng turned and left.

After Wang Dengfeng left, Old Master Yu walked behind Yu Tingzhi and pushed the wheelchair, "Tingzhi, shall we go to the study to chat?"

"Okay." Yu Tingzhi nodded slightly.

After Old Master Yu and Yu Tingzhi left, the remaining people also returned to their respective rooms.

Yang Zixuan looked at the disappearing figures of the old and the young, and whispered to Yu Tingye, "What does your grandfather want to say to that good-for-nothing?"

Without waiting for Yu Tingye to answer, Yang Zixuan continued, "The engagement day between that good-for-nothing and Song Baoyi is almost here! Grandpa wouldn't be thinking of dividing our family's property among him, would he! Let me tell you, that won't do! At least half of the property in this family was earned by us! That good-for-nothing shouldn't even think about taking a penny!"

"Give it to him? He has to be able to hold onto it firmly first." Yu Tingye sneered, "The marriage between the third brother and Miss Song might not happen!"

"Why?" Yang Zixuan asked.

Yu Tingye narrowed his eyes, "The people pursuing Miss Song could hold hands and circle Jiang City several times. What kind of person can't she marry? What kind of onion does the third brother think he is?"

The engagement day will be the day of annulment.

Just wait.

However happy Old Master Yu is now, he will be even more disappointed on the day of the engagement!

Yu Tingye saw all this clearly and continued, "We just need to watch from the sidelines..."

Yang Zixuan looked at Yu Tingye, "Do you know some inside story?"

"What inside story?" Yu Tingye asked.

Yang Zixuan continued, "About the Song family! You definitely know something, right?"

"Do you even need to know the inside story?" Yu Tingye continued, "You should know just by using your brain that Miss Song won't marry a good-for-nothing!"

Yang Zixuan narrowed her eyes, "But wouldn't the Song family even care about their reputation?"

When Yu Tingzhi's reputation was at its peak, they rushed to curry favor with him. Now that Yu Tingzhi's reputation was gone, they wanted to break off the engagement. If word got out, would the Song family still have the face to gain a foothold in the circle of wealthy families?

"That's none of your concern." Yu Tingye continued, "Miss Song has her own ways."

Song Baoyi was a famous talented woman in Jiang City, and she naturally had ways to shut everyone up.

Yu Tingye took out his phone and glanced at it, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask the second brother."

"I'll go now!" Yang Zixuan was an impatient person, she couldn't hold back.

Yang Zixuan immediately went to Zheng Yurong's bedroom, not even bothering to knock on the door.

"Yurong!"

Zheng Yurong was applying a facial mask in front of the dressing mirror. Hearing the voice, she turned her head and said with a smile, "Eldest sister-in-law is here."

"Is the second brother not here?" Yang Zixuan asked.

"Eldest sister-in-law, please sit down. He just went out temporarily for something."

"Yurong, I have something to ask you," Yang Zixuan said.

"Eldest sister-in-law, please ask."

Yang Zixuan weighed her words in her heart and finally decided to get straight to the point, "Why did I hear that the Song family might break off the engagement?"

Zheng Yurong smiled, "It's not breaking off the engagement."

"Then what is it?"

Zheng Yurong glanced towards the door, then lowered her voice and said, "It's a substitute marriage."

"A substitute marriage!" Yang Zixuan said in surprise.

Zheng Yurong nodded and explained, "Eldest sister-in-law, haven't you heard? The Song family recently brought back that adopted daughter from the countryside. If we really go by the marriage agreement, the person who was originally engaged to the third brother was the eldest daughter of the Song family, and that adopted daughter is even older than Miss Song."

Since she was older than Song Baoyi, she was naturally the eldest daughter of the Song family.

Yang Zixuan had a surprised expression on her face, "Is this...is this...is this going to work?"

Replacing the real Song family's precious daughter with a little sparrow from the countryside?

Zheng Yurong smiled, "Anyway, the Song family has fulfilled the marriage agreement as agreed. If the third brother doesn't agree, you can't say that they broke off the engagement. Besides, the third brother was originally not worthy of Miss Song."

"Then wouldn't our family's old man be angered to death?" Yang Zixuan said.

Zheng Yurong's smile remained unchanged, "Then that has nothing to do with us, eldest sister-in-law. But you must not talk about this everywhere!"

Yang Zixuan understood, "Of course I know that."
