Chapter 490 - Annulment
Chapter 490 Annulment
The Gong family were all men. The only two female bodyguards did not come to attend the wedding because they had other tasks.
Therefore, the people who arranged the bridal room were all rough-handed men. However, they did quite a good job.
Wedding posters were pasted on the walls and on the windowsill.
In the bridal room, there were also balloons and streamers.
There was a pink mosquito net, a big red Mandarin Duck quilt, and a pair of cute beige furry bears lined up side by side under the bed.
This was what Situ Xing had suggested.
He said that as a woman, Xiao Lingyu would definitely like these furry things. Plus, they were cute decorations.
In order to take care of Xiao Lingyu, who was pregnant, the bridal room was laid with a red carpet. In fact, the red carpet was laid all over the Gong Family house.
Of course, this was to prevent Xiao Lingyu from accidentally falling.
The courtyard used green bricks that were not slippery.
When Gong Tianhao stepped into the bridal room, he saw Xiao Lingyu who was currently sleeping soundly.

There were some snacks and some dishes on the small table next to them. After all, Xiao Lingyu had been busyfor half a day. She must be tired and hungry.

On the small table, there were some peanut shells, nutshells, grape skins, and apple skins. Then, there were two dumplings, half a bowl of rice, and some leftovers in a big bowl.
Gong Tianhao shook his head in amusement and said in a low voice, “It looks like she was really hungry.”
Then, he walked over, bent down, and took off her shoes. Then, he half-lay on the bed, leaned sideways, quietly and seriously looking at her beautiful and cute sleeping face.
Her slightly red lips were raised, and she was lightly snoring.
Gong Tianhao’s eyes deepened. Then, he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. After he let go, he smiled helplessly and said, “Today, you are really very beautiful. You are astonishingly beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy. Everyone says that you are a flower fairy.”
He had always known that Xiao Lingyu was a beautiful person. However, he did not expect that Xiao Lingyu would become more and more attractive, causing him to fall deeper and deeper into her.
Before he met Xiao Lingyu, he had never thought that he would love someone so much.
He was unable to extricate himself from this love!
He was extremely glad that he was the one who had met Xiao Lingyu when she was drugged. He was also extremely lucky that the child that Xiao Lingyu was carrying was his.
Otherwise, his journey of pursuing Xiao Lingyu would definitely be more difficult.
The two of them were already in love, and their hearts were connected. Now, they had the crystallization of their mutual love.
He was truly extremely glad.
In his previous life, Xiao Lingyu had suffered too much.
In this life, he would not let her suffer anymore.
She should be the happiest woman in the world.
He would love her and dote on her until the end of her life!
“What did you say?” Qin Xingbao frowned and asked the tall youth standing in front of him, “Jiang Tao, are you going to break off the engagement with Yan ‘Er?”
When Qin Yan’s photos were exposed, Qin Xingbao was already prepared that the Jiang family might come to break off the engagement.
However, when Jiang Tao really came to break off the engagement, Qin Xingbao’s heart was filled with incomparable anger.
Jiang Tao nodded and said, “That’s right, uncle. I’m here to break off the engagement.”
At this time, Madam Qin came out and angrily said loudly, “No, I don’t agree!”
Her daughter wanted to marry Gong Tianhao, but the engagement with Jiang Tao had to carry on. If he broke off the engagement at this time, it would further confirm the scandals on the internet. That would make Qin Yan’s reputation worse. Her reputation would plummet. How would she be able to survive in the circle of noblewomen in the future?
Moreover, they had other plans regarding the engagement. Therefore, they would definitely not agree to annulment at this time.
Madam Qin asked, “Jiang Tao, does Old Master Jiang know that you came here to annul the marriage? Do you think you should go behind your grandfather’s back? You should know that the marriage alliance between our two families is a major event.”
Jiang Tao glanced at Madam Qin and said indifferently, “Of course, my grandfather knows that I’m here. Just as you said, Auntie, without my grandfather’s permission, how would I dare to propose the marriage annulment between the two families?”
Madam Qin, “…”
Her expression was abnormally ugly.
At this moment, Qin Xingbao said, “I reject this annulment. Back then, this engagement was personally proposed by your grandfather. Naturally, he has to come personally to break it off. Otherwise, I will not admit to this.”
The corners of Jiang Tao’s lips curled up, revealing a faint mocking expression as he said, “Uncle, Auntie, back then when my grandfather personally came to propose the engagement, he thought that Miss Qin was pure and innocent. In his opinion, she was a good granddaughter-in-law.
“However, do you think my grandfather will still like Miss Qin after she caused our Jiang Family to offend the Gong Family? Do you think that my grandfather would like a granddaughter-in-law who schemed against him? You should all know that grandfather is a person who cares about his face.”
It meant that he would never accept Qin Yan as his granddaughter-in-law since Qin Yan had caused him to lose so much face.
Old Master Jiang was stubborn, domineering, and autocratic.
The Qin family naturally knew this.
But they also knew that Old Master Jiang would never come personally to break off the engagement to preserve his face.
Therefore, the Qin family grasped onto this point and refused to let go. They were determined not to break off the engagement.
They needed the Jiang family to restore Qin Yan’s reputation. One of the ways was to ensure that the engagement with Jiang Tao continued. It would provide the Qin Family with time to arrange stuff in the background.
Jiang Tao looked at the scheme in the eyes of the Qin couple and revealed a mocking smile. ‘Has the Qin Family forgotten that Jiang Family is one of the most powerful families in Beijing? Do they think we are easily bullied?
‘They are dreaming if they think they can use the Jiang Family to clear Qin Yan’s name.’
Jiang Tao said to them unceremoniously, “Uncle and Auntie, with Qin Yan’s current reputation, do you think it’s reasonable for you to insist on the engagement?
“My Jiang family has unwittingly offended the Gong family and Gong Tianhao because of Qin Yan’s scheming. Do you think my Jiang family will offend the Gong family again for Qin Yan?
“Uncle and Auntie, let’s be frank. Why my Jiang Family wants to break off the engagement and why your Qin Family doesn’t want to, we both know the reasons.
“So, do you think my Jiang family will compromise?”
Jiang Tao directly exposed their goal, making the faces of Qin Xingbao and his wife turn livid and extremely ugly.
Madam Qin pointed at Jiang Tao angrily and said loudly, “Jiang Tao, don’t go too far!”
Jiang Tao said coldly, “Auntie, who is the one who has gone too far? You really need to ask yourself that.”
“You!” Madam Qin’s face turned pale with anger, but she didn’t know how to refute it.
She had always thought that Jiang Tao’s personality was weaker because he was constantly under Old Master Jiang’s control. Qin Yan would easily control him too. But she had never thought that Jiang Tao’s personality would be so cold and hard-hearted!
Jiang Tao didn’t want to waste any more time with them. He said directly, “Uncle and Auntie, I’ll give you a day to consider. If you can agree to break off the engagement, that would be the best.
“But if you still choose to drag this out, then don’t blame me. I am not that easy to bully.”
With that, he left directly.
Jiang Tao spoke so strongly and resolutely, not giving the Qin family a chance to negotiate at all. It made Madam Qin gnash her teeth with hatred.
Madam Qin looked at Qin Xingbao. There was still a wave of anger in her heart as she asked loudly, “Hubby, what should we do now?”
Qin Xingbao glanced at her and said coldly, “What else can we do? Of course, we can only break off the engagement. Do you really think that a good young master like Jiang Tao would marry a used woman like Qin Yan?” “Qin Xingbao!” Madam Qin was extremely angry when she heard her husband say that her daughter was a used woman.
Qin Xingbao’s face turned black as he said, “If Qin Yan isn’t a used woman, then what is she? I’m already being kind. Do you know what people on the Internet say that she is? A prostitute, a high-end prostitute that doesn’t even need money. My daughter is a prostitute. What do you expect me to say?”
Madam Qin’s face also didn’t look good when she heard that.
However, she still defended her daughter and said, “Our Yan ‘Er hasn’t married yet. Isn’t it normal to have a few boyfriends? Why do those people on the internet have to say those horrible things?
“Also, Gong Tianhao has really gone too far. Even now, he still refuses to acknowledge us and take down those pictures. Does he really want to push Yan ‘Er to her death?”
Qin Xingbao looked at Madam Qin with his sharp eyes and said coldly, “That might not be a bad idea.”
Madam Qin’s face turned pale at first, and then she scolded loudly, “Qin Xingbao, are you still a human? Do you really want your daughter to die? Let me tell you, if Yan ‘Er dies, then the Qin family will not have peace.”
Qin Xingbao’s face turned black. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
After her husband left, Madam Qin stomped her feet, returning to her room.
As soon as they left, Qin Yan walked out from a dark corner. Her eyes were filled with anger, and her pale fingertips were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palm. One could see her anger and resentment.
She said viciously, “I won’t die so easily. I want revenge! Since I can’t get it, then I will destroy it!”
