Chapter 14 Is This Slap Loud Enough?
Only blaming his guilt towards the Lin Family, he didn't present the marriage dissolution papers immediately. He never expected the Lin Family wanted to drive them to a dead end.
"You old fart, your granddaughter is already a discarded woman, unwanted. You still dare to challenge my son Liang? If there is to be a cancellation of marriage, it should be us who call it off, who do you think you are?"
Madam Zhou was blocked in the corner by Lin Caisang, unable to push her way out or leave, she could only stomp her feet and rail against her.
"Let me tell you, you… Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she received a resounding slap across her face.
"You--"
"Dare to disrespect my grandpa again and I'll make sure you're permanently silenced!" Lin Caisang squinted dangerously, her face full of ferocity as she stared at Madam Zhou.
"Lin Caisang, you dare to disrespect your Aunt Zhou, she is your elder!"
Zhou Jitang rushed over as he saw his wife being attacked, but being a scholar and physically weak, he was easily taken down by Lin Caisang, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Elders?"
Lin Caisang smirked at the corner of her mouth and turned around.
She glanced indifferently at Zhou Jitang, then shifted her gaze to Elder Mr.Zhou.
"So, it appears Elder Mr.Zhou's family teaching is such: everyone in your household is an elder, worthy of respect, while anyone else is beneath you all. My grandpa is an old fart, then Elder Mr.Zhou what are you? If I remember correctly, Elder Mr.Zhou, you are older than my grandpa, aren't you?"
Upon hearing her words, Elder Mr.Zhou took a deep breath, wanting to react, yet unable to find the words.
Lin Caisang was disrespectful to Zhe Mei, but that was only because Zhe Mei badmouthed Ms.Lu of Lin Family first. There's always a sequence of events. Zhe Mei was the first one to be rude, hence her being slapped is what she deserved.
He really underestimated this young lady Lin Caisang!
"Jitang, Zhe Mei, you ought to hold your tongues."
He glared at his son and daughter-in-law in displeasure then turned back to Ms. Lu of Lin family.
"Ms.Lu, are you aware of this marriage dissolution document? Does my brother, Lin Laogeng, know about it?" he asked.
"Grandpa Zhou, these papers were written by my grandpa."
Before Ms. Lu could reply, Lin Caisang smoothly responded to Elder Mr.Zhou's question.
"My grandpa also had a message for Grandpa Zhou. He said: 'Now that my Lin Family has been unfairly harmed, endangering our family's lives. Despite we are not wronged in any way, we can't still be matched to the distinguished Zhou family. It's better to part in good terms. From now on, let Sangsang and Zhou Liang each go their own separate ways after their weddings!'"
Elder Mr. Zhou: "..."
Did Lin Laogeng really say that? He didn't believe it!
"Sangsang, actually Grandpa Zhou still greatly appreciates you as a grand…"
"Sangsang thanks Grandpa Zhou for your kindness but Sangsang is not worthy of being Zhou Liang's wife. In fact, over these years, Sangsang noticed that Zhou Liang has been very good to Sangsang and has shown great care. However, in light of the recent incidents, dragging out this engagement would only be in vain. So, it's better to call it off."
Lin Caisang interrupted Elder Mr.Zhou's words, saying.
Everyone knows how to sweet talk, but look at her, isn't she good at it?
Wasn't that slap loud enough? Despite knowing Zhou Liang's critical role in this whole affair, as if there were a puppet master pulling secret strings behind the scenes, she still placed this man on a high pedestal.
However, when these bunch of people eventually fall from their lofty heights, one wonders just how painful it's going to be.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, let's call off this engagement. I know the Zhou Family has good intentions and would hate for Sangsang to be wronged. So, let our Lin Family call off this engagement. In the future, when talked about, it should be told as our Lin Family's fault."
Ms. Lu of Lin Family's tone softened as she addressed Elder Mr.Zhou.
