Chapter 14 Old Mr. Meng's Attitude

Old Mr. Meng gazed at the family of four, knowing that today's issue couldn't be resolved peacefully, and sighed, saying, "When the marriage was agreed upon, the Qin family mentioned that there would be no wedding, but they would offer some material compensation."

"Wouldn't we be even more disrespected? It’s like they can just throw money at the problem! In the future, wouldn't they treat Yi Yi even more dismissively!"

Mom Meng was adamantly against Old Mr. Meng’s statement. When he first brought up the marriage with her, he had not mentioned this situation.

If she had known that the marriage with the Qin family would not even include a wedding, she would never have agreed to it in the first place.

Aunt Meng, observing Mom Meng’s incessant crying and fussing, remarked knowingly, "Sister-in-law, you can't look at it this way! After all, Qin Zhuoran is disfigured and hardly ever appears in public. You can’t expect President Qin to go along with this just for Yi Yi, can you?"

After saying this, Aunt Meng’s face twisted with disdain, clearly implying that Meng Yitong was not worthy.

Meng Yitong, who hadn’t grasped what Mom Meng was upset about earlier, now started to understand what was going on.

At Aunt Meng’s words, Meng Yitong began to sob, saying, "So did Cousin leave because there wasn’t a wedding?"

Aunt Meng, who had been putting on a show of magnanimity, her expression darkened at Meng Yitong’s words and said, "Yi Yi, Wanwan just went abroad for further studies. Don’t play the victim here. If this marriage hadn’t clashed with Wanwan’s studies, do you think you’d even be in the picture?"

In Aunt Meng’s eyes, this was a perfect match. After all, the Qin family was a centuries-old dynasty!

Despite their low profile, the Qin family’s legacy far surpassed that of other wealthy families.

Moreover, at just 30, Qin Zhuoran was already at the helm of the Qin family.

In recent years, he spearheaded several multi-billion-yuan projects for the Qin family. The profit from just one of his projects matched the Meng family’s annual income.

Yet her own daughter, who should’ve known better, whined about his age and appearance! She didn’t even stop to think—if there weren’t any issues, why would such an opportunity come to a family like ours?

Although the Meng family was considered a top-tier wealthy family in the capital, they were still insignificant when viewed across the entire country.

The Qin family's strength and assets were not only significant in China but also carried weight globally.

They were on a completely different level from the Meng family, yet her own daughter had failed to seize the opportunity and had even run away.

All her previous efforts had ended up benefiting that dead girl from the eldest branch! How could Pan Qiuying not feel resentful?

Already filled with resentment, Pan Qiuying became even angrier upon hearing the eldest branch's ungrateful words.

Thinking about the shares and Bishui Villa that Old Mr. Meng had given away, Pan Qiuying was so furious that she almost ground her teeth to dust!

Meng Yitong didn't care about any of this. She looked at Aunt Meng and replied, "Is that so? I also have classes starting soon! Auntie, why don't you quickly call Cousin and have her come back to get married? Since there's no wedding, getting the marriage certificate won't take up much of her time!"

"Hmph, can your classes even compare to Wanwan's?" Aunt Meng said with a face full of disdain.

Old Mr. Meng, seeing that they were getting more and more out of line, quickly interrupted, "Enough, stop arguing! There will be no wedding. The day after tomorrow, we will have a meal with the Qin family, and then Yi Yi, you will go directly to the Qin family with Qin Zhuoran!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Meng Jianjun and Su Mei exclaimed in shock. Although they had already accepted the reality of no wedding, having just one meal before sending their daughter off to the man's family seemed too outrageous!

"This matter is settled. There's no need to say more," Old Mr. Meng cut them off before they could speak.

"But Dad, this is too hasty! Yi Yi and Qin Zhuoran haven't even met, they haven't gotten the marriage certificate, and there's no wedding. Just sending her off like this is too reckless! No matter what, I don't agree! Whoever wants to marry can marry, but our Yi Yi certainly won't accept this!"

Meng Yitong was also startled by Old Mr. Meng's words just now, and upon hearing Mrs. Meng say this, she remained silent.

"This is not for you to decide. The matter is settled. She has to marry, whether she likes it or not. Otherwise, you can leave the Meng family!" Old Mr. Meng was also getting angry.

The Meng family primarily focuses on trading business. Apart from a few supply chain enterprises under the group performing relatively well, other trade businesses have been declining steadily with the development of e-commerce.

In recent years, the Meng family has invested in hundreds of supermarkets, but the profits have been very limited. That's why Old Mr. Meng is desperate to find new opportunities for the company's transformation.

The Qin family not only has vast wealth but also has businesses spanning all industries.

What attracts Old Mr. Meng the most are the real estate and urban development companies under the Qin family. These two sectors overlap somewhat with the Meng family's business, but whether in terms of market share or annual profits, they are incomparable to the Meng family.

Therefore, Old Mr. Meng is eager to seize this opportunity to align with the Qin family and gain a piece of the pie.

That's why, when Chairman Qin discussed the marriage arrangement with him, even though he knew some conditions were unreasonable, he still agreed.

Now, seeing the commotion caused by his eldest son and daughter-in-law, Old Mr. Meng feels that they are beyond help.

"Yi Yi, let's go. This marriage isn’t worth it!" Su Mei said, coming to pull Meng Yitong.

If there was any acting involved before, at this moment, she was truly angry!
