"Mom! Please donât do this..." Hong Ling never expected things to develop this way. She clutched Mrs. Hongâs other arm, shaking it and crying as she pleaded.
Since she was a child, whenever she had a little dispute with Hong Ping, she would habitually put on the innocent act in front of Mrs. Hong, who always fell for it.
She thought the Ruan Family would be the same.
But she didnât expect that not only did the Ruan Family not fall for it, but they even completely cut ties over this, leading to the current situation.
She genuinely regretted it so much that her intestines turned green over such a small matter.
So she clung to Mrs. Hongâs arm, crying and pleading sincerely.
However, Mrs. Hong, pushed to the edge by the Ruan Familyâs attitude, couldnât back down at all. Hong Ping lost face, and filled with anger, she completely lost her sanity, pushing away the sobbing Hong Ling, calling her useless, and then glaring at Hong Ping: "Youâre not leaving, are you?"
Hong Pingâs hand was held by Ruan Jun, and when Mrs. Hong asked, Ruan Jun gripped her hand a bit tighter. Hong Ping steeled her heart and turned her gaze away.
"Good, very good! This is the wonderful daughter I raised! Very good! Marrying off besides losing you like water splashed out, very good, Iâll just pretend I raised a dog all these years!" Mrs. Hong was so angry that she said "good" several times in a row, shook off Hong Lingâs hand, turned, and opened the door to the private room and left.
Mr. Hongâs face turned bright red with anxiety. Unfortunately, he wasnât good with words, and could only bow to the Ruan Family before he turned to chase after them.
Hong Ling was gasping for breath amid her sobs. She glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao, muttered an apology, and also hurried out.
The door of the private room banged open and shut, and what was supposed to be a wedding suddenly felt like it turned into a farce.
Hong Pingâs eyes were also red. Today was supposed to be the most important day of her life, and now it had turned out like this. Anyone would find it hard to endure.
She brushed off Ruan Junâs hand with reddened eyes and turned to leave the private room.
Ruan Jun did not hesitate and immediately chased after her.
With the two of them gone, there were no outsiders left in the room. Ruan Jianguo, still with an unsightly expression, angrily kicked the stool beside him: "What a load of nonsense!"
"Enough, showing off how capable you are!" Ruanlin glared at him angrily, but when she turned to look at Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun, her gaze was particularly stern. Eventually, she let out the words stuck in her heart: "Youâre both supposed to be grandparents, yet you act so foolishly! Is this how you marry off a daughter-in-law? Others would think youâre begging ancestors!"
Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun exchanged a glance, both lowering their heads in shame.
They were well aware of their significant role in how Mrs. Hong turned out to be this way.
Because of an ingrained inferiority complex, they treated the Hong couple with the lowest posture from the start.
Mrs. Hong already looked down on Ruan Jun, thinking his family background was ordinary, he had no wedding house, and his parents were remarried. Her stance was high since the first meeting between the two families, so she dared to drag Hong Ping away in front of everyone from the Ruan Family.
Afterward, Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun not only didnât say anything but also catered to them with an even humbler attitude, giving Mrs. Hong the illusion that the Ruan Family was desperate for her daughter.
Both Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun hung their heads in silence.
Ruanlin gave them a glance, feeling a bit like hating iron for not becoming steel.
