The curtain of the night had already been lifted. The entire Dongfang old residence was very lively.

In the luxurious princess room.

​

Dongfang Rou’er was sitting by the bed. Lin Yuanyuan was showing her the wedding dress. Dongfang Rou’er’s face did not have any expression at the moment, and there was no trace of any joy.

Lin Yuanyuan’s face was filled with joy and anticipation as she looked at the wedding dress.

“Hurry up and try it on, Rou’er. Jin Sheng specially asked a famous French designer to design this wedding dress for you. Look at the fabric and the workmanship. Ah Sheng treats you really well. There’s also this crown. I heard that just this wedding dress and jewelry alone cost almost 10 million, and he’s really willing to part with it!”

Lin Yuanyuan smiled happily. As she spoke, she fiddled with the white wedding dress, “As a mother, I always hoped that one day I could see my daughter put on a wedding dress and become the most beautiful bride in the world, that you will marry a man who will treat you well for the rest of her life. Rou’er, Ah Sheng treats you really well. After you marry him, you must know how to cherish him. Do you understand?”

Lin Yuanyuan was very satisfied with Jin Sheng, and Jin Sheng was also very generous. He often gave her, his mother-in-law many gifts. He was not stingy at all and had completely conquered her, his mother-in-law. Lin Yuanyuan was very satisfied with Jin Sheng, this son-in-law, from every angle.

On the other hand, Dongfang Rou’er had recently become much colder towards Jin Sheng. Previously, she often saw the husband and wife coming back in pairs. Recently, Dongfang Rou’er had been leaving early and returning late every day. A few days ago, they had agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, Dongfang Rou’er was still struggling about going. Fortunately, Jin Sheng was considerate and understanding, so she simply proposed to hold the wedding first and then sign the marriage certificate later.

“I’ve said so much, say something! What’s the matter with you? You’re absent-minded. What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Come, let me take a look. Why do you look a little pale?”

After Lin Yuanyuan said a lot of things, she saw that Dongfang Rou’er had no reaction, so she raised her head to look at Dongfang Rou’er. She found that Dongfang Rou’er had been silent the whole time, and her face was a little pale, so she put down the wedding dress in her hands worriedly, he stretched his hand towards Dongfang Rou’er’s forehead, wanting to test her body temperature.

“Alright, don’t touch me. I’m fine. Can’t you let me have some peace and quiet!”

Dongfang Rou’er slapped Lin Yuanyuan’s hand away. There was a hint of impatience in her tone, and it was not difficult to catch her agitated emotions.

Lin Yuanyuan was shocked by Dongfang Rou’er’s reaction. She stared at Dongfang Rou’er with her eyes wide open. “What kind of attitude is this? What’s going on with you? I’m concerned about you right now, why are you acting like this?”

“Hmph, concerned about me? You’re concerned about whether the marriage alliance with the Jin family will succeed, right? Father and brother haven’t fulfilled their previous promise, yet you’re concerned about me? You’re just trying to use me as a bargaining chip to negotiate the marriage alliance.”

Dongfang Rou’er sneered and suddenly stood up. She stared coldly at Lin Yuanyuan. “Mother, do you think you would be willing to do this if it were you?”

“What are you saying! How could you still be saying such things at this juncture. Your wedding is tomorrow and you’re still arguing about this. Are you thinking of breaking off the engagement?”

Lin Yuanyuan stared at Dongfang Rou’er with widened eyes, “You can’t joke about this. Do you know how many people are waiting for this wedding? You and Ah Sheng have long become the focus of everyone’s attention. Do you want to let your father and brother lose face and bring shame to the entire Dongfang family? What will the Jin family think when that happens? Will they let this matter go so easily? Rou’er, you must never think of such a foolish thing, understand?”

Lin Yuanyuan felt her heart tremble as she thought about it.

The smile on Dongfang Rou’er’s face became colder and colder, “Even now, you’re still thinking about them and the Dongfang family? Are you afraid that if I were to really break off the engagement, you would lose all face and your strength in the Dongfang family would be greatly reduced? Mother, I’m still your daughter. Why Can’t you think of my happiness? Look at Dongfang Liuyun. Why doesn’t she have to sacrifice her own marriage to fulfill her position? In the end, it’s all because you’re useless and can only sacrifice me!”

Dongfang Rou’er’s voice was naturally very sharp, piercing into Lin Yuanyuan’s ears like ice needles. Lin Yuanyuan only felt some pain and coldness, bone-piercing coldness!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She simply could not believe that her daughter would actually think that way!

“Rou’er... You’re crazy! Why would you think that way! You should know that you’re not getting any younger, and you should also find someone to dote on you. Look at how Jin Sheng treats you so well, and the Jin family is great, don’t tell me that he’s not worthy of you? I just don’t want to see you work so hard. I hope that you can have a happy ending! Do you understand?”

As Lin Yuanyuan spoke, her eyes could not help but flash with faint tears, “As parents, no matter how bad we are, we’re still the ones who gave birth to you and raised you. Moreover, who do you think we’re working so hard for? Isn’t It all for you and your brother?”

“Just that trash, my brother! He was simply a useless person who couldn’t be helped up. If it weren’t for me and Father, would he have been able to stay in the company peacefully all these years? You guys would rather help someone like him, so you sacrificed me, even my suggestions, are you guys planning to fool me like this? Do you guys really think that I will continue to be so foolish all the way?”

Dongfang Rou’er’s tone was very cold, and her slightly pale face was tainted with a hint of sarcasm, “This time, my attitude is very firm. If you really care about me, your daughter, then go and explain it to Father. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens tomorrow, don’t blame me!”

Dongfang Rou’er’s tone was very firm.

“Rou’er, you...”

Lin Yuanyuan looked at Dongfang Rou’er in a daze, so shocked that she was speechless.

“You... are you threatening us?”

“If you insist on thinking that way, I have no choice! All these years, I have given a lot, but I haven’t gained anything. I am only thinking of myself now, leaving a path for me in the future. Is this wrong? I am only fighting for what I deserve, Mother! If you think that this is wrong, then I have nothing to say.”

As Dongfang Rou’er spoke, she took a deep breath. She looked exhausted.

“It’s not that we don’t think for you. How can a daughter make such a request to her parents? Rou’er, what’s wrong with you recently? Why have you suddenly become like this? Why do you feel like such a stranger?”

“It’s not that I’m a stranger, or that I’ve changed in any way. It’s just that I’ve come to my senses now!”
