Chapter 122 - Entangled
Old Madam Fu felt smug. The bigger the commotion, the more embarrassed Song Ning would be. It would be easy to pressure Song Ning into doing what she wanted.
At this time, Song Ning turned to Fu Le and said, "Fu Le, do you have to make things so ugly?"
Fu Le stepped forward, but he did not stop his grandmother. Instead, he said, "Song Ning, why don't we find a place to talk?"
Naturally, Song Ning had no intention to talk to Fu Le. There was nothing to talk about between them.
Jiang Jin gently pushed Song Ning to stand behind her with Sister Yu before she sized Fu Le up and said, "Young man, you're one who was previously engaged to Song Ning?"
Before Fu Le could reply, Old Madam Fu said, "That's right! Fu Le is Song Ning's fiancee!"
Jiang Jin did not even deign to look at Old Madam Fu. Instead, she said, "Young man, I wonder what misunderstanding happened between you and Song Ning that she chose to break her engagement with you?"
Fu Le was rendered speechless by Jiang Jin's words.
Old Madam Fu said impatiently, "What does it have to do with you? Isn't it normal for young couples to quarrel? Moreover, their marriage was arranged by their late mothers. It's only right for them to get married to honor the late mothers' wishes. Song Ning only married your grandson to anger us. The person Song Ning really likes is Fu Le. After so many years together, how can it be so easy for them to go their separate ways?" Then, she turned to Song Ning and said, "You agree with me, right, Song Ning? I know you're unhappy with that girl, Feng Man. Don't worry, I've sought justice for you and sent her away a long time ago. Not everyone can marry into our Fu family, after all." After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Jin provocatively.
Jiang Jin feigned an expression of surprise and said, "Oh, so it's you! You're the one who fell in love with another woman. What's wrong? You messed up, but you still need your grandmother to solve your problem for you. Young man, you can't be like this. Let me give you a piece of advice: In life, you should only move forward and not look back. The day you betrayed Song Ning, you should've known there's no turning back. If you don't even understand that about Song Ning, how are you qualified to marry her?"
Old Madam Fu was about to speak when Jiang Jin raised her hand and interjected with a smile, "Elder sister, everyone has their own fate. If you're lucky like me, your grandson will marry a good wife. I'm really lucky: my granddaughter-in-law is perfect and makes me happy every day…" Then, she held Song Ning's hand and said affectionately, "Now that I have such a good granddaughter-in-law, even my own grandson can't compare to her. I'm really grateful to you for letting such a good child marry into our family. My silly grandson is really blessed…"
Sister Yu smiled and chimed in, "That's right, Old Madam. You really have to dote on such a good granddaughter-in-law…"
Who knew if it was intentional or not, but Sister Yu blocked Old Madam and Fu Le's path as Song Ning held Jiang Jin's arm and walked away.
However, how could Old Madam Fu give up so easily? She went forward and grabbed Song Ning's clothes and hastily said, "No! Song Ning, you can't leave!"
As the commotion grew louder, the number of onlookers gradually increased as well.
When Song Ning saw Fu Le had no intention of intervening, she could only say, "Fine. Fu Le, let's go to the cafe next door to talk."
Old Madam Fu was not willing. "No, let's just talk here."
Song Ning frowned.
Jiang Jin patted Song Ning's hand and said indifferently, "Then, tell me; what do you want to talk to Song Ning about? Since we have so many witnesses here, let's clear the air once and for all so you won't continue to pester Song Ning."
Old Madam Fu said indignantly, "What do you mean by pestering?"
Jiang Jin did not bother to respond to Old Madam Fu.
After a while, Old Madam organized her thoughts and said as she looked at Song Ning, "Song Ning, Fu Le made a mistake. However, he knows he's wrong. Our entire family has also apologized to you sincerely; what else do you want?" Then, she glanced at Jiang Jin as she said righteously, "It's fine if you insist on not marrying Fu Le. However, you have to transfer the rights to the trademark to Fu Le. After all, Fu Le's mother had agreed to register it under your name as a gift. If you want to break up, it's only right you return what's rightfully his."
Song Ning looked at Old Madam Fu and Fu Le incredulously; she could not believe how shameless these people were.
Old Madam Fu looked pleased with herself while Fu Le's face was expressionless.
When Old Madam Fu saw that Song Ning did not speak, she looked around and said in a loud voice, "If you're not planning to marry into our family, isn't it right for you to return the thing we gave you? Don't tell me you're going to keep our gift to you and marry another person? How can that be?"
