PWDLAW Chapter 487: Shameless
Chapter 487: Shameless
"Ye Pozi pretended to coincidentally meet the Song family's children in the village. Those children were only five or six years old and didn't understand much, so Ye Pozi easily got the information out of them."
"They said the bracelet was given by their big sister."
"If you say this isn't evidence, then I've wronged her. But Song Lu's own younger sister, a girl named Song Qing, somehow found out I was at Ye's house. She barged in and pushed me to the ground, accusing me of bullying her sister. She even said something like, our Chu family had already climbed up to Song Lu, yet we still dared to demand so much betrothal gifts, accusing us of being shameless."
Zhang spoke with flushed cheeks, her eyes bloodshot, and veins popping on her forehead, "How can an adult discussion about marriage involve a little maid like her!"
"They even accused our Chu family of being shameless. I think it's the Song family that's shameless for climbing high branches and not caring about their reputation!"
"I slapped her right then and there!"
Chu Lin was startled by Zhang's intense anger at this moment. He quickly stood up, reached out to grab her and gently patted her back "Calm down, take it easy. If you get yourself worked up, it will only benefit the Song family."
As the person closest to her, Chu Lin understood Zhang's temperament very well.
With just a few words, Zhang's emotions stabilized a bit. She spoke with hatred, "You're right, I can't get angry. How can I let that little maid take advantage of us!"
"You slapped Song Qing and then what happened?" Chu Liushi was also very angry but the angrier he got, the more rational he became. Zhang was clearly distraught.
Chu Lin gently patted Zhang's back to help her calm down.
With a worried look in his eyes, he understood how much his wife valued this son-in-law. Now, he was slapped in the face and it might even affect his daughter's reputation. The more satisfied he was before, the angrier he was now.
After catching her breath, Zhang continued, "After slapping that maid, I told her to relay a message: if there's anything, come directly to our Chu family and speak openly. Don't hide and seek, trying to take advantage of other people's families, and still pretend to be noble."
"Then, Song Qing pointed fingers at me and said that her brother wouldn't marry Qingxiang and there were plenty of other misses who liked him. She said our family was delaying Song Lu's future and demanded that we take the initiative to break off the engagement."
"I won't repeat those unpleasant words, but that was roughly the meaning."
Zhang sneered, "I don't know if all the people in the Song family are like this, but I want to see if they dare to come to our doorstep themselves."
"Does Song Lu know about this?" Chu Zhiwen asked with a bitter smile, furrowing his brows.
Chu Lin furrowed his brows, "Father, do you think Song Lu wouldn't know about his own family's affairs? Do you still have any expectations for him?"
"I'm just asking, after all we don't know many details." Chu Zhiwen explained.
But obviously, his diplomatic attitude was not accepted by Chu Liushi. She glared at the old man and said, "Regardless of whether Song Lu knows or not, it's unacceptable for him to be involved with the Song family's young lady while engaged to our Qingxiang. This matter can't be ignored."
"After all, the Song family has wronged us."
"If this matter is true, then the Song family has done something foolish." Chu Liushi said calmly.
Ye Muyu noticed Chu Liushi's hesitant expression and knew that she must have also realized that the Song family dared to do this because they had the support of the Wang landlord's family.
Obviously, if handled improperly, it would be the Chu family that suffered a loss.
However, for now the Chu family had the upper hand.
