“After this matter is settled, no one will blame you. I’m sure your reputation would even be better than before.”

Yang Nian blinked, unsure how to react. He didn’t expect Yang Jiangto react like this.

Heck, he didn’t expect that the man would actually praise him.

He thought that the minute he stepped into these quarters, he’d immediately be accosted for his foolish thinking. Yet now, his father was actually praising him.

Yang Nian slowly relaxed.

His father had misunderstood his intention, but that didn’t matter.

“For the engagement, the actual person who I was supposed to be engaged to be Yao Tang, not Yao Ran. Old Madame Yao was the one who had called me about this.”

Yang Nian recalled that his father’s att.i.tude toward the engagement was much more neutral.

In fact, even when he had come to City A for his task, his father made no move to ask him to cancel the engagement.

So, why was he being asked about it today?

This change of att.i.tude was strange. If his father had wanted him to break off the engagement back then, he wouldn’t have waited until today. In fact, he would’ve broken the engagement off years ago.

But now, he strongly opposed such a union. It was interesting.

“The original candidate for the engagement is the young woman in the shadows?” Just then a thought occurred to him, and he narrowed his eyes. “What’s her relations.h.i.+p with Old Madame Yao?”

“The Yao Family bore two sons. Yao Tangis the daughter of the second son.”

Yang Jiang frowned. “Why didn’t I know of them?”

He didn’t really know much about the matters of the Yao Family.

It’s why he had wanted to ask such a question.

Yang Nian was silent for a while before saying, “Maybe it’s because she’d been living in the countryside for a long time. The news about them is a bit obscure.” He shrugged. “She also hasn’t been seen attending any banquets, so no one knows about it.”

“The countryside?”

Yang Jiang asked again.

In the eyes of the head of the Yang Family, Yao Yuan didn’t really have much stature in the high society, but he was already stable enough to become a match. What he didn’t expect was for his son to be engaged to the daughter who lived in the countryside.

How could he marry such a person?

Seeing the look of disdain on his father’s face, Yang Nian quickly said, “Yao Tangis outstanding in all aspects. You can send someone—”

“There’s no need to mention it.” Yang Jiang waved his hand. “We’re going to break off the engagement anway. It would be useless to find out more.”

“But—”

Hearing this word, Yang Jiang’s sharp gaze bored into Yang Nian’s back. His eyes were cold and inquisitive.

“Don’t you think you’re paying too much attention to her, son?”

He quickly lowered his head. “No, she’s my fiance, that’s all,” he quickly replied. “At that time, I thought it was better to get to know her better.”

“Then you don’t have to pay attention to her anymore since you’ll be annulled soon. Just conserve your energy and focus on something much more important. Do you understand?”

His words were harsh, but he didn’t doubt his son’s words.

Ever since he was young, Yang Nian had always done things flawlessly. He was sure that he’d be able to succeed this time around as well.

Yang Nian was just making preparations for this engagement as well. There was nothing strange about it.

As soon as he heard the words “annulment”, his eyes darkened, but he didn’t reveal his true intentions.

If he said that he had wanted her to be his wife, then his father would ensure that he’d do everything in his power to make Yao Tang suffer. This would only be disadvantageous for her.

Yang Nian decided to change the topic.

“How was your trip?”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Nian scowled. The veins in his forehead were threatening to pop out at any moment.

Not only has he been stolen by that youth, but he had also wasted a lot of money.

He clenched his fists.

Thinking of everything that had happened, he really felt like he was about to die from anger. His fingernails dug into his palm.

His mood worsened even more, and his eyes were bloodshot. Without another word, he smashed his fist onto the table.

“Shameless! This trip—”

Yang Nian’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong? What happened?” He had never seen his father this angry before.
