141 Assistance in Annulling
Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Yue and saw that he was frowning.
After a while, Zhang Yue said, “Why did you cancel the agreement made by the senior generation just like that?”
“Why not? As long as both parties agree, it’s not a breach of promise.” Gu Man smiled coldly.
She saw the hesitation on Zhang Yue’s face.
Zhang Feng immediately asked in confusion, “What are you hesitating for? I’ll go home and tell your father to cancel the engagement immediately.”
Zhang Feng was also clear about the engagement between Zhang Yue and Gu Man. Before Old Master Zhang passed away, he had specially instructed that this matter could not be casually canceled. He wanted the Zhang Family to keep their promise. As the new head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Chuan’s father naturally carried out his father’s last wishes.
Therefore, even though the Huang Family had already waned and the Gu Family was only a rising family, the Zhang Family did not easily annul the engagement.
But at the same time, they turned a blind eye to Zhang Yue and Gu Rou’s relationship.
Now that he saw Gu Man hanging out with a man at night, Zhang Feng felt that there was a reason.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Uncle Zhang to tell him,” Gu Man ignored Zhang Yue’s gaze and said gratefully to Zhang Feng.
“Second Uncle, it’s not what you think. They... they...”
Zhang Yue could not find a reason. He also thought that Gu Man was being impudent, but he did not understand why he did not want Zhang Feng to talk about this.
That day, when Gu Man first said that she wanted to annul the engagement in front of him, he was furious. However, when he woke up, he felt that Gu Man was playing hard to get. At that time, he was actually secretly happy.
Zhang Feng waved his finger between Gu Man and Jiang Yi. “Didn’t you see? They’re wearing matching shirts.”
Matching shirts?
Gu Man sized him up slightly. What matching shirts? Just because it’s the same color it’s matching shirts? The old man’s eyesight was indeed bad.
But after Zhang Yue saw it, he frowned.
Zhang Feng added, “Just now, this kid said that he would listen to Gu Man. It’s so obvious. Are you still going to protect them?”
Zhang Yue opened his mouth and thought for a while before saying, “I’m not covering up for him. I just feel that Grandpa’s promise shouldn’t be destroyed so easily.”
Seeing Zhang Yue hesitate, Zhang Feng was disappointed. “If she’s a good girl, of course we’ll keep our promise, but I don’t think there’s a need for someone like her.”
“Uncle Zhang, you know that Zhang Yue has a girlfriend now. If I don’t cancel this engagement, it won’t be good for the Zhang family’s reputation if word gets out.” Gu Man added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Feng frowned and looked at Gu Man. Why was there something wrong? Why was Gu Man looking forward to canceling the engagement?
He looked at Jiang Yi again and seemed to understand. So she had a new lover.
That was good. This way, even if the engagement was annulled, it would not be the Zhang family’s fault.
Hence, he said in a low voice, “Zhang Yue, it’s settled. I’ll talk to your father tomorrow.”
Zhang Yue felt very upset when he saw the anger on Gu Man’s face disappear completely.
Didn’t Gu Man always care about him in the past? Why did she want to cut ties with him now?
Zhang Chuan still struggled. “Second Uncle, don’t say anything first. I want to understand something.”
Zhang Feng was annoyed. “What do you want to figure out? Isn’t this obvious? Besides, Gu Man doesn’t even want to continue this engagement, yet you still insist. Where’s your dignity?”
Zhang Feng’s words were a little serious. Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment. Why did it feel like the roles had been reversed? It was now his turn to care about this engagement.
Zhang Yue said bitterly, “I’ll go back and tell Father myself.”
Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Yue and sighed heavily, not knowing what else to say.
Zhang Yue still said to Gu Man, “I’ll send you back to the Gu family. Leave immediately.”
“Zhang Yue, do you not understand people’s expressions or what? What does it have to do with you now?” Gu Man saw that Zhang Yue was simply sticking to her like a piece of gum and refused to let go. The anger that she had just suppressed rose again.
Then, she said to Jiang Yi, “Let’s go.”
With that, she walked into the crowd with Jiang Yi.
When Zhang Yue saw Gu Man disappear into the crowd, he suddenly had a feeling that he would never be able to catch her.
On Jiang Yi’s side, he still felt that it was unbelievable, but he had roughly understood just now. That young man called Zhang Yue and Gu Man had an engagement, but Zhang Yue had a girlfriend and did not want to cancel the engagement.
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but despise him in his heart. He’s daydreaming about two-timing?
