In the living room.
The old butler was playing chess with Father Shen. When he saw Shen Yan enter, he quickly waved his hand and said,""Come, come, come. I haven't seen you in a while. Hurry up and let grandpa see if your chess skills have deteriorated.”
The corner of Shen Yan's mouth curled up." It just so happens that I recently learned a new move to ride a horse. Grandpa Guan, you can let the horse try."”
As he spoke, he calmly sat down and unceremoniously placed a chess piece down.
On the chess board, the two of them were fighting to a standstill.
"This is a good move!"
Old Master Guan praised. After moving the car away, he suddenly said,"Your and Yitong's wedding date is approaching. Your father and I are discussing which hotel to hold it.”
Shen Yan only nodded and did not say anything. He sat on the sofa and looked at Guan Yitong calmly with a faint smile on his face.
He wanted to see how long she could endure it.
In front of the two of them, the butler talked about the venue and the number of tables. In the end, he even said that he was going to print the wedding invitations immediately.
Guan Yitong finally couldn't help but interrupt in a low voice.
"Grandfather, Shen Yan and I want to cancel our engagement.”
The joy on Old Master Guan's face instantly froze, and his voice sank,""Yitong, what did you just say?”
Guan Yitong was silent for a while before she mustered her courage and said,""Grandfather, Shen Yan and I both want to cancel the engagement. Just agree!”
"Bastard!" Old Master Guan was so angry that he stomped his sandalwood walking stick twice." We all know how much Shen Yan likes you and how well he treats you. How could he want to break off the engagement?!"”
"Tell me honestly, did you have any indecent thoughts and want to let Shen Yan down?”
The atmosphere was like ice breaking.
But Shen Yan slowly drank his tea.
He narrowed his eyes.
In the original plot.
After Guan Yitong and Chen Yu confirmed their relationship, she once again proposed to cancel the engagement. Of course, Old Master Guan would never agree to it.
However, in the end, the engagement was successfully annulled.
Why?
In the middle of the plot, Shen Yan and his friends went to a nightclub to have fun. The drinks were spiked. After waking up, Shen Yan had sex with a woman.
Not only that, the room was suddenly broken into by a group of reporters.
Soon, the private life of the young master of the Shen family was in a mess, and this news headline quickly became a trending topic.
In the end, the old butler personally came to break off the engagement, and this farce ended.
This incident caused the relationship between the Shen family and the Guan family to break down. The woman who had sex was the wife of a high-ranking official. After this incident, the high-ranking official took revenge. The Shen Corporation lost many large contracts with the government because of this, and the company gradually began to decline.
Chen Yan smiled coldly.
Needless to say, this scene was arranged by the protagonist.
*
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
"Old Master."
Shen Yan fired a cannon and said indifferently,"There are no outsiders here, so I'll be honest. Guan Yitong and I aren't suitable.”
Old Master Guan obviously didn't believe him. He said in a deep voice,""Don't talk nonsense, kid Yan. I can see your feelings for Yitong.”
He paused for a moment.
"All these years, Yitong has been messing around too much. Grandpa promises you that Yitong will never be willful with you again.”
"It's too late. I want to call off the engagement immediately."”
Old Master Guan was silent for a while before saying,""Shen Yan, tell me honestly. Did Yitong force you to break off the engagement?”
"You two are going to spend the rest of your lives together.”
"I didn't." Guan Yitong retorted with pursed lips.”
"Bang!"
Old Master Guan slammed the chess table angrily.
"Shut up! I'm not talking to you!"
"Why don't you understand? Shen Yan is a child that I have watched grow up. His character, manners, and upbringing are all first-class. Shen Yan will definitely treat you well for the rest of your life.”
Shen Yan also agreed with this statement.
If the two of them were really together in the original plot, with the Host's personality, she would definitely dote on Guan Yitong to the heavens.
Old Master Guan looked at Shen Yan kindly." Tell me the truth. Grandpa will help you!"”
Finally, Shen Yan said with a very serious expression,"Break off the engagement."
After saying that, he looked at Father Shen.
When Shen Yihai saw his son looking over, he said,"Old Master, I respect my son's decision.”
To be honest, he had seen how much his son had contributed to the butler's daughter.
His precious son was the apple of his and his wife's eyes. Guan Yitong had never cared about his efforts. No matter how good Guan Yitong was and how suitable she was to be a wife, Shen Yihai still felt resentful.
Therefore, it was good that her son said he didn't like her anymore.
Guan Yitong's eyes were red. For the first time, she had the courage to talk back to Old Master Guan.
"Grandpa, you've never asked me what I want. You always force what you think is good on me, but you don't want to ask me if I want it.”
"I really don't want to get married so early. Grandpa, please allow me to be willful this once.”
Old Master Guan looked at Guan Yitong with disbelief on his wrinkled face. His back gradually hunched down as he sighed.
"I never expected you to say this to me.”
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Guan Yitong was extremely annoyed. She shouldn't have said such things and hurt the person she respected the most.
"Fine." Old Master Guan shook his head.
"It's good that you're sure you won't regret it in the future.”
Guan Yitong looked at the handsome man sitting on the sofa. He looked exactly the same as before, but his aura had changed drastically. At this moment, Shen Yan looked at her with a faint smile on his face.
She suddenly came back to her senses and said calmly,"No."”
His heart calmed down.
She would never regret it.
Old Master Guan then said," It's fine to break off the engagement. However, everyone in the upper-class circle knows that our two families have a good relationship. If we break off the engagement rashly, there will be many rumors."”
Shen Yihai agreed. Old Master Guan was his father's sworn brother, so he had to give him some face.
"It's indeed bad for the reputation of our two families to call off the engagement right after we got engaged.”
" I'll give you a month to calm down," Old Master Guan said." If you still want to separate by then, I'll grant your wish."”
Guan Yitong opened her mouth, her face filled with disappointment, but she still agreed.
Grandfather agreeing to cancel the engagement was already the best situation.
She just had to endure for another month.
Shen Yan looked at Guan Yitong's disappointed expression and understood what she was thinking.
He laughed coldly.
"Old Master, I don't even want to wait a month for Miss Guan.”
How could Old Master Guan not see the disappointment on Guan Yitong's face?
"Perfect, I don't want to wait any longer."”
"Retreat now."
Old Master Guan wanted to continue persuading him, but who knew that Shen Yan's next sentence would make his expression change drastically.
"Don't disturb me from finding a girlfriend."
He had already said that he was looking for a girlfriend. It seemed that he really didn't like her.
Old Master Guan had no other choice.
In the end, he closed his eyes dispiritedly and nodded.
