Have you heard about the Wei Family matter?
I have.
Zheng Yicheng spoke in a casual tone, as if genuinely seeking his daughter's opinion: What do you think about this situation?
Zheng Mengni's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly maintained her composure and replied, It’s been a week, and such a scandal hasn’t been resolved yet; there must be someone sabotaging it from behind.
In Zheng Yicheng's eyes, the benefits outweighed everything else; he might be considering backing out of the engagement.
As long as you understand this is a scandal.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Mengni felt a sudden pang in her heart.
So, he knows who is pulling the strings.
Who is it that is trying to ruin the marriage between the Zheng and Wei families?
Using excellent resources and connections to meet influential individuals or those at higher levels, commercial marriages have always been a very normal and common occurrence in high society.
Before this incident blew up, Zheng Yicheng genuinely hoped she would marry into the Wei Family.
Given the current situation, there’s only one possibility:
Her father has found a more suitable match for her.
Zheng Mengni pondered for a moment, pushing aside her complicated thoughts.
She subtly maintained a gentle expression, her large watery eyes sparkling with both confusion and concern.
Feigning ignorance, she innocently probed: So, will Dad help the Wei Family cover this up? After all, you might have noticed...
Zheng Mengni shyly reached for the necklace hanging around her neck, where a delicate chain held a dazzling pink diamond ring that sparkled brightly.
She was afraid of losing it, so she wore it close to her heart.
With a radiant smile, she said: This was given to me by Wei Jingxi; he even live-streamed it when he was flying the drone that day. He clearly promised to keep things low-key, but perhaps he was thinking about our engagement coming up this summer and wanted to make a grand gesture.
As she spoke, she carefully observed Zheng Yicheng's expression; she needed to make a quick judgment.
Had the Wei Family already discarded Zheng Yicheng as an option?
Looking at both matters side by side indeed clarified my thoughts considerably. Although Zheng Yicheng's gaze remained calm, his tone had grown much colder.
I remember in the past, your relationship with that child wasn’t very close; even when you spoke occasionally, it was only in front of the elders.
"Have you spoken privately?"
Zheng Mengni bit her lip. "No."
The first time she spoke alone with Wei Jingxi was when he threatened her with the paternity test results.
Still unclear? Seeing Zheng Mengni's vacant expression, Zheng Yicheng emphasized his words. They had long known that the woman would eventually marry into the Wei Family; it was destined that she would have a child. Wei Nanxuan was even more aware of this! He paused, anger flashing across his brow.
Zheng Yicheng continued, "Wei Nanxuan is skilled at deception, sending a useless son destined for a lower position to form a marriage alliance! He wants to gain everything without giving anything in return—there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"
Seeing the opportunity, he left a seed in the woman's womb as the future true heir of the Wanxie Consortium. Then, he would let that useless son try every means to entice her, thinking that by winning her heart, he could enjoy the power of the Zheng Family.
Zheng Yicheng sneered, his expression stern. "Xiao Ni, you haven't been deceived by that boy, have you?"
Zheng Mengni lowered her gaze, remaining composed. "No."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yicheng finally showed a hint of relief in his smile. "Good."
"Never let anyone disturb your peace of mind. What you desire is something my Zheng Family cannot provide; an outsider's mere sweet words shouldn't be enough to fool you."
Zheng Yicheng asked, "Do you understand?"
