CHAPTER 1083: CHAPTER 221: ENEMIES MEET, FORCED MARRIAGE IN COURT (PART 7)

Meng Junci lowered her head, every word from her aunt pierced her heart, but what could she do? At this moment, she could only resign herself to fate.

Ji Yunya’s eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, her gaze quietly scanned Meng Shujing and Meng Junci, her hand slightly clenched under her sleeve.

What to do if Brother Yan really gets engaged to Meng Junci...

Her heart seized, she couldn’t accept it.

At this moment, she intensely hated herself, being marked as Yan Ke’s fiancée, she couldn’t even refute it, and could only watch as another woman step by step approached Brother Yan.

Dongfang Yi furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze falling on the old master’s face, what exactly was his attitude.

Zhuang Xiyue sneered inwardly, does this woman have no shame, forcing marriage like this, is our Ah Song really that in demand?

Hopefully, Grandpa won’t agree with Meng Shujing in a moment of confusion, she regretted speaking too fully just now, who could have thought Meng Shujing would dare to force marriage on the spot, she suddenly felt secretly annoyed.

"Grandpa, we can discuss Ah Song’s marriage in detail after your birthday celebration, Ah Ci seems like a good child to me, although I also like her, we should respect Ah Song’s wishes, after all, it’s his lifelong matter...." Zhuang Xiyue said softly.

Meng Shujing smiled and said: "From ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, although modern society is open, pursuing free love, for families like ours, the most important thing is a suitable match, let’s not mention Gege, Ah Song... is the future hope of the Yan Family, his wife, only our Ah Ci can fulfill that role, Grandpa, don’t you agree?"

Secretly mocking Ji Yunya.

Ji Yunya’s gaze slightly narrowed, a dim light flickering in her eyes.

Yan Xing glanced at Ji Yunya, smiling: "Great Grandpa, my mom is right, you should allow the marriage between Big Brother and Sister Ah Ci, after all, I just want Sister Ah Ci to be my sister-in-law."

Yi Suchen sneered coldly: "Sister-in-law, your Meng Family is one of the top families in the Capital City, even though it’s declining, the family spirit remains, is your Meng Family’s daughter so desperate to get married? It’s laughable when mentioned."

Meng Shujing’s face turned cold, this Yi Suchen was constantly opposing her.

Meng Junci’s head hung so low it was almost touching her chest, she felt like a piece of goods, being scrutinized by these people, wishing desperately to find a hole to crawl into...

Su Yu smiled and said, "Ah Ci is a nice girl, though we consider a suitable match, we have to respect Ah Song’s wishes too, arranged marriage is a remnant of the feudal system, we live under the banner of a new era, how can we view things with outdated perspectives, I think we should follow Ah Song’s own wishes, if Ah Song likes Ah Ci, I would absolutely support it wholeheartedly, such a good match is hard to find even with a lantern, surely Grandpa and Third Sister-in-law would be pleased, but if Ah Song doesn’t like Ah Ci, a marriage without love, Sister-in-law should profoundly understand, who on the outside could comprehend its nuances? Sister-in-law as someone experienced, surely wouldn’t push her niece into the fire, right?"

These words, even sharper than Yi Suchen’s, left her in a dilemma, making her deeply resentful towards her sisters-in-law of the third family, how could they be swayed by Zhuang Xiyue.

Zhuang Xiyue quickly exchanged a look with Su Yu, smiling: "Sixth sister-in-law is right, Sister-in-law, for the sake of Ah Ci, let’s discuss this matter slowly, I empathize with your feelings as an aunt, but such things cannot be rushed."

Meng Shujing just looked at the old master, sitting steadily there, although slightly hunched, his face somewhat pallid from illness, yet in the face of joy, his spirit appeared quite good at this moment.

"Grandpa, what are you hesitating about?"

The old master deliberated, half his face hidden in shadow, his expression unclear.

Ji Yunya suddenly became nervous, praying deep down the old master wouldn’t agree, but she couldn’t guess his thoughts, from the old man’s perspective, the Meng Family was indeed the best choice...

Ji Yunya never felt so anxious before, she couldn’t help but tightly grip the old master’s hand, he suddenly looked at her, his gaze cloaked in a misty, smoky wisdom, indistinct and unfathomable, causing Ji Yunya’s heart to momentarily seize.

"Girl, what do you think?" The old master suddenly asked.

Ji Yunya was stunned, was he asking for her opinion?

Meng Shujing’s eyes darkened, what did the old master mean? How could such a big matter rely on the opinion of a young girl, she had thought the old master would definitely agree, who knew at the critical moment he would become ambiguous, at once she found it hard to guess his intentions.

"Grandpa, what would a young girl know about such things?" Meng Shujing retorted.

Yet Ji Yunya smiled gently, her voice like jade beads falling on the tray, extraordinarily delicate and pleasing, like a spring breeze brushing across the face, making one feel warm at heart.

"Great Grandpa, I think we should still look at Brother Yan’s wishes, after all, before being a descendant of the Yan Family, Brother Yan is a person, with likes and rights, we should respect his choice."

Dongfang Yi narrowed her eyes, suddenly staring at Ji Yunya’s face, Brother Yan—how did she hear a different implication, women are always especially sensitive, she couldn’t help but be careful, only that face was as beautiful as a flower, gentle and serene, truly showing no other emotions.

Meng Shujing coldly glared at Ji Yunya, just about to say something else, when suddenly the hearty laughter of Yan Nanrong came from outside the door, his bright voice penetrating through the curtain from afar: "Grandpa, I’ve come to wish you a happy birthday."

The next moment, a small figure darted in like a rabbit, squeezing past Yan Xing and Ji Yunya, and burrowed into the old master’s embrace, "Great Grandpa, Si’er really missed you, did you miss Si’er?"

Zhuang Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she arrived just in time.

Ji Yunya was bumped by Yan Si, unsteady on her high heels, and was about to fall sideways, Yan Song who had just stepped into the door saw this dangerous scene, his eyes narrowed sharply, his tall body swept past like a gust of wind, everyone only saw a shadow flash before them, a gust of wind brushed through...
