Chapter 569: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (108)

"Xiao Ran, be obedient and go back to your room first! Let us elders handle the things here." Su Weichen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His eyes were filled with anxiety and majesty, as if he was urging his daughter to leave the living room quickly.

Su Xiangran obviously didn't want to leave just like that. She wanted to continue fighting for it, but at this moment, her mother Cao Wanning grabbed her arm.

"My daughter, don't be confused! You are still young, only sixteen years old." Cao Wanning pulled Su Xiangran towards the room and persuaded her earnestly, "The road ahead is still long, there is no need to ruin your future because of a momentary impulse.

That Song Chengjing is courting his own death, you must not follow him and do something stupid!"

Su Xiangran suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at her mother, and said firmly: "Mom, how can you say that? Everything that Brother Jing has done is the unshirkable responsibility of every descendant of the Chinese nation!"

Cao Wanning sighed helplessly. She certainly understood her daughter's thoughts, but at this moment, she could only choose to obey her daughter's wishes.

After all, when looking at that face with a serious expression, she found it difficult to utter any words of rebuttal.

"Okay, okay, he's a good man, okay?" Cao Wanning stroked Su Xiangran's hair, showing compromise.

However, Su Xiangran was not satisfied with this. She tightly grasped Cao Wanning's hand and pleaded, "Mom, you must explain it clearly to Dad! Our family will never cancel the engagement. I will wait until Brother Jing comes back..."

Tears welled up in his eyes and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Of course Cao Wanning knew how Song Chengjing treated her daughter over the years. Maybe her daughter would never meet such a person again in this life, but Su Xiangran still had a long life to live!

No matter how good a dead person is, he is still just a dead person after all.

But if he said this to his daughter first, she would only resist more fiercely, so Cao Wanning could only say that he would go and check the situation and left his daughter's room.

After watching Su Xiangran leave the living room, Mr. Song in the reception room said directly without beating around the bush: "Mr. Su, regarding the marriage of the two children, our Song family may have to break our promise."

When Mr. Su Weicheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Mr. Song, it seems that these two children are not destined to be together after all! You have worked so hard to prevent my daughter's reputation from being damaged."

Before this, when Mr. Song came to the Su family, he had already informed him of Song Chengjing's death.

However, just as they were about to discuss breaking off the engagement, Su Xiangran happened to return home.

Old Master Song said solemnly: "It is our Song family that is truly sorry for your Su family! Cheng Jing... unfortunately died for his country on the battlefield.

I don't want to waste Miss Su's prime years, so I decided to come here to cancel the engagement."

Su Weicheng thought of the young man who had been admired by him, and a trace of emotion welled up in his heart: "Mr. Song, please accept my condolences.

This is not anyone's fault, it's just fate. As for the matter of breaking off the engagement, let's discuss it together after I have discussed it with my daughter."

Old Master Song sighed deeply, with mixed feelings in his heart. He nodded slightly to show his agreement, said no more, and then said goodbye and left.

Does Su Weicheng not want to break off the engagement? Of course not. Although the Song family has no successors now, they are still powerful in Haishi. If he agrees to break off the engagement right away, he is afraid of being hated by the Song family.

Mr. Song certainly wouldn't say anything, but what about the Song family's predecessors? If they cut off all ties after this incident, it would inevitably make people think that the Su family was mean and ungrateful.

The most important thing is that his son Su Yanqing is about to return to China. At this time, the Su family must have a reputation, otherwise it will be detrimental to his son's future development.

Having been relatives of the Song family for some time, it is natural that they would maximize the benefits therefrom.

Cao Wanning overheard a general idea of ​​what was going on outside, and she also knew that her husband had not yet agreed to the Song family's request to cancel the engagement. Knowing her husband well, she certainly knew what he was going to do.

After Mr. Song left, she walked into the living room with tea in her hand and asked casually, "Master, how many times do you want the Song family to ask for a break-up before you agree?"

"Let's put it off for now!" Su Weicheng took the teacup from Cao Wanning's hand, "Our son will be back soon. It won't be too late to talk about it after he comes back."

"But Xiaoran is already sixteen years old!" Cao Wanning reminded worriedly, "In Jincheng, a girl like her should have been married a long time ago. I'm just afraid... Oh! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let her go abroad."

"You also said it was Jincheng." Su Weicheng waved his hand nonchalantly, "This is Haishi, and our Xiaoran just came back from abroad. Even if we keep her until she is 18, she can still get married. Why are you in such a hurry?"
