Chapter 620 Showing Her Stance
Guan Ning scoffed coldly. “She’s really good at scheming. There’s something wrong with her; she can’t stand seeing people getting along with each other.”
Guan Tang said softly, “It’s good that you’re aware of this. You don’t have to be nice to me in front of her. If she tries to sow discord, we should at least put on an act. She hopes we won’t get along, after all. With that, she’ll feel at ease letting me marry her younger brother.”
Guan Ning felt distressed upon hearing these words. “It’s really been hard for you. You have to sacrifice so much for the Yin family.”
Guan Tang’s expression remained calm as she said, “This is the fate of girls from wealthy families. Auntie is lucky. At the very least, there are feelings between you and Uncle. As for me, my sisters, and other aunties, we can’t make our own decisions about how we want to live our lives. Auntie, don’t worry. When our goal is achieved, I’ll divorce Cheng Che. If we don’t get a divorce, our family will be a parasite and leech their family until they’re dry. That’s what their family deserves. If we get a divorce, at the very least, I’ll demand half of the assets. It’ll hurt the Yin family greatly. Auntie, don’t feel sorry for me.”
Guan Ning sighed softly. “You’ve always been thoughtful and much better than me. If Yin Yi were like you, I’d be very satisfied.”
Guan Tang chuckled. “Auntie, don’t say that. Yin Yi has a family; she’s loved by her father and her brother. Naturally, she won’t be like me. This is her good fortune. Auntie, there’s no need for you to worry about her.”
Guan Ning was very impressed and satisfied with her niece.
“Yin Jia has always held a grudge because of her fiance. The person she hates most is her grandmother. After all, she felt the tragedy of her life was caused by her grandmother. However, she’s unaware that she’s very much like her grandmother. She’s headstrong and self-centered. It’s not like I’m unaware of the petty tricks she’d pulled behind my back all these years. It’s unfortunate that I can’t do much to her. Now, even Yin Bin is gradually trusting her more and more. I only hope she’ll be punished!”
Guan Tang’s finger caressed the rim of her glass as she said, “Auntie, the most difficult thing now is to get Cheng Che to acknowledge his engagement to me. I’ll have to use some tricks to get what we want. Auntie, you’ll have to help me as well.”
Guan Ning’s heart ached for Guan Tang even more. “Silly child, of course, I’ll help you. You’re my niece. No one wants you to marry into the family more than I do. Only with you around would I have help. In this family, not a single one is easy to deal with. Their methods are all frightening. With you around, I’ll have support. I just feel distressed that you have to suffer so much.”

Guan Tang said, “At this moment, the Yin family is my best choice. I have nothing to pick and choose from. This is my life. Hence, I’ve always hoped to protect Yin Yi so she won’t have to walk the path I have to walk. I hope she’ll be able to be with the person of her choosing. I must ensure she’s happy no matter the cost.”
Guan Ning was extremely moved by these words.
Guan Tang lowered her gaze. ‘In this world, who would sacrifice themselves for another person? No one. If one wants to live well, one will have to fight for it. In order to achieve my goal, I’ll have to do everything it takes. This is the basic skill of survival.’
Guan Tang continued thinking to herself, ‘Yin Jia likes complaining that heaven is unfair to her. She complains about her grandparents and parents. She blames the entire world. How’s that useful? The person who thinks she’s the smartest is, in fact, the dumbest.’
To Guan Tang, Cheng Che was not her fiance or husband; he was just a tool. At this moment, she desperately needed the tool to get her out of the quagmire that was the Guan family. Although the Yin family was not any better, it was still better than the Guan family. At the very least, she would feel better.
