Chapter 95

The next morning, Bai Xueling returned from Tianhai to the Bai family residence in the capital city. This time, she was determined to have her grandfather, Bai Hongfang, dissolve the marriage contract. She was even more furious with Ye Chenfeng in her heart!

However, she did not reveal the relationship between Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting. She was afraid of hurting her good friend Zhao Wanting, so she could only resort to crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself at home.

It must be understood that Bai Xueling had always been a very obedient child in the Bai family. The marriage between Bai Xueling and Ye Chenfeng was based on mutual benefits. Although Ye Chenfeng was a playboy in the past, he was still a normal person. However, since Ye Chenfeng became a fool, Grandfather Bai was no longer very satisfied with the marriage contract that was arranged long ago.

Now, the Ye family relied solely on Grandfather Ye to support it. If one day Grandfather Ye passed away, who would support the Ye family? Wasn't it pure suffering for his beloved granddaughter to be with Ye Chenfeng?

Even if Bai Xueling did not bring up the matter of dissolving the marriage contract, Bai Hongfang had already been considering doing so. After all, as someone who had been in a high position for a long time, he had a far-sighted perspective and did not just focus on short-term benefits.

Grandfather Bai was already sixty-eight years old, but he was still quite healthy. With his sharp eyes, he looked at his granddaughter, who was feeling wronged, and said, "Alright, Xueling, you've made enough of a fuss. I know that marrying Ye Chenfeng is a hardship for you. Since that's the case, I'll put my old face on the line today."

Bai Xueling was a woman who understood the bigger picture. If it weren't for her good friend Zhao Wanting falling in love with Ye Chenfeng, she wouldn't have acted so recklessly upon returning to the Bai family.

However, when she heard Grandfather Bai finally agree, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She even felt a bit sour.

No one in the Bai family opposed Grandfather Bai's decision. They had long been against the marriage contract. On the surface, the Ye family was still one of the top families in the capital, but after Grandfather Ye, who could take on the responsibility? Ye Chenfeng was a good-for-nothing even before he developed panic disorder, let alone after. So, the Ye family would eventually fade from the ranks of the major families.

Bai Xueling did not mention the changes she saw in Ye Chenfeng in Tianhai. She didn't even want to think about this man, let alone mention his name. She wished she could kick Ye Chenfeng a few times to vent her anger.

...

When Bai Hongfang arrived at the Ye family hall, it just so happened that Wu Anguo, the patriarch of the Wu family, had also come to visit the Ye family.

"Old Bai, what wind brought you here today?" Wu Anguo greeted Bai Hongfang.

Bai Hongfang was there to break off the engagement. Since they were the ones at fault, he spoke in a gentle tone, "Today, I have something to discuss with Zhenhong."

Ye Zhenhong frowned, then relaxed, stood up from the sofa, and smiled, "Hongfang, we are going to be in-laws! Just say what you have to say!"

Was Ye Zhenhong a fool? Normally, Bai Hongfang rarely visited the Ye family. Today's sudden visit must be for something important. The first thing Ye Zhenhong thought of was the marriage contract between his grandson Ye Chenfeng and the Bai family's girl, Bai Xueling.

"Zhenhong, the matter is like this. My girl is determined this time, crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself at home! What do you think about the marriage contract between your family's Chenfeng and our family's Xueling..."

Bai Hongfang tried to put it as tactfully as possible. Everyone understood the situation, so there was no need to be too clear, as that would only make both sides awkward.

Even so, Ye Zhenhong's face showed signs of anger. What was wrong with his grandson Ye Chenfeng that he didn't match the Bai family's girl? Ye Dongjian, Ye Chenfeng's uncle, had told Grandfather Ye about the strong soldier training camp, which made Grandfather Ye very pleased recently. He knew that the Ye family had a successor.

Wu Anguo, standing beside him, also understood the meaning behind Bai Hongfang's words. A cunning smile appeared on his lips, and he thought to himself, "Truly, heaven is helping me, truly, heaven is helping me!"

Wu Anguo had long considered Ye Chenfeng as a potential son-in-law for his granddaughter. He was worried about how to resolve the marriage contract between Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xueling. Who would have thought that his wish would come true so easily?

He immediately said, "Zhenhong, just listen to them and let Chenfeng and the Bai family's girl dissolve the marriage contract."

Ye Zhenhong was already angry. Hearing his old friend Wu Anguo not only not stand by him but also support Bai Hongfang, his anger rose even higher.

Bai Hongfang also looked at Wu Anguo in confusion. Normally, Wu Anguo always liked to oppose him. What was different today?

However, what Wu Anguo said next almost made Ye Zhenhong and Bai Hongfang choke on their saliva. Wu Anguo said with a serious expression, "Zhenhong, my daughter Xiaofei and Chenfeng have been in love for a long time. Now that the Ye family and the Bai family are dissolving the marriage contract, I want to arrange a marriage contract with the Ye family."

Now, Ye Zhenhong finally understood what Wu Anguo was thinking. He knew that Wu Anguo was very satisfied with Ye Chenfeng, but he never thought that Wu Anguo would have such thoughts.

Bai Hongfang, who didn't understand the situation, was completely at a loss. Wasn't Ye Chenfeng a fool with panic disorder? Even if the Wu family and the Ye family had a good relationship, Wu Anguo wouldn't push his granddaughter into a fire, right? However, Bai Hongfang couldn't grasp the key point. He had a feeling that coming to the Ye family to break off the engagement was a mistake.

Ye Zhenhong sighed but looked very serious. He said to Bai Hongfang, "Alright, the marriage contract between the Ye family and the Bai family is officially dissolved from today. But, Bai Hongfang, one day you will regret it."

Wu Anguo nodded in agreement in his heart, thinking, "If the old Bai knew about Chenfeng's abilities, he would probably regret it so much that his intestines would turn green. But I really have to thank him; now Chenfeng will definitely be my son-in-law."

Bai Hongfang's wrinkled face showed regret, but he didn't think too much about Ye Zhenhong's words. After saying a few words of apology, he hurriedly left the Bai family. After today, the relationship between the Ye family and the Bai family would likely become extremely strained.

However, the regret in Bai Hongfang's heart was only a small part. After all, Ye Chenfeng was a good-for-nothing with panic disorder. It was better not to have such a son-in-law, to avoid delaying Bai Xueling's happiness and to ensure that he wouldn't be of any help to the Bai family in the future.

"Anguo, you are really calculating! You even calculated on my grandson?" After Bai Hongfang left, Ye Zhenhong said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Wu Anguo was not to be outdone, "Zhenhong, you are the one who is calculating! You have such a good grandson and won't let him be my son-in-law? I came to the Ye family today to talk about Chenfeng."
