"Ye Chen, I've watched you grow up since you were little. How could I ever have bad intentions toward you?!" Zhang Shoufu said. "I don't want you to be close to Xinlan because I want you to cut off your fate with her!"

"My daughter is older than you. She is almost thirty, and you are just in your early twenties. You are both young now and naturally don't care about the age difference."

"But in ten years, when you are in the prime of life, my daughter will have become an old and faded woman. This marriage is bound to have problems!"

"Shihua is about your age, she is beautiful, and she's a big TV star. Her family background is also good. Your Uncle Liu's assets are worth over a hundred million, and he's a well-known tycoon in Shanghai. If you were to marry into the Liu Family, it would be the greatest fortune of your life!"

His sincerity was touching, and even he became excited as he spoke.

If this poor kid, Ye Chen, could successfully marry into the Liu Family, he would absolutely soar to the skies like a dragon!

"But I am currently dating your daughter. If I were to switch over to the Liu Family, wouldn't you be angry?" Ye Chen was also surprised.

Zhang Xinlan had mentioned more than once to her family that they were in love, and it seemed like Zhang Shoufu and his wife had not really opposed it. Why were they having such a dramatic change of attitude now?

"If you marry into the Liu Family, I won't be angry at all. I would even give my full support with both hands raised!" Zhang Shoufu raised both his hands, giving Ye Chen the strongest possible support through both actions and words.

"..." After Zhang Shoufu's speech, the atmosphere in the room quieted down.

Ye Chen is Zhang Xinlan's boyfriend, and now Zhang Shoufu is persuading his daughter's boyfriend to marry into another family. Is he trying to sell his son-in-law?

Ye Chen was also a bit stunned. Poor Zhang Xinlan, having such a father was truly pitiful!

"Zhang Shoufu, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Liyun had been brainwashed by Zhang Shoufu for a while and was aligning with her husband's position. However, Zhang Shoufu's words were still uncomfortable for her to hear.

Others would advise for the best, but Zhang Shoufu was advising a breakup, and he was even the one who had arranged his own daughter's marriage in the past. This was just too bizarre...

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is right. But even if I wanted to marry in, Uncle Liu might not agree," Ye Chen suddenly said with a laugh.

"Your Uncle Liu would definitely agree!" Zhang Shoufu assured.

Ye Chen and Zhang Xinlan did not want to be separated, but if Ye Chen's affections were to shift and he married into the Liu Family, then Zhang Xinlan would surely give up on him.

So, Zhang Shoufu breaking his daughter's marriage was for the happiness and prosperity of society.

"Mr. Liu, Ye Chen wishes to marry into the Liu Family. What do you think?" Zhang Shoufu looked at Liu Zhengqing.

"Haha!" Liu Zhengqing laughed heartily. This Zhang Shoufu was indeed quite interesting.

Ye Chen had an extraordinary demeanor and eloquent speech. Liu Zhengqing was quite impressed by him and had the intention of taking Ye Chen as his son-in-law. However, as Ye Chen was Zhang Xinlan's boyfriend, it made him unsure how to proceed.

But just as Liu Zhengqing was hesitating and uncertain how to speak, Zhang Shoufu stepped forward and cleared the way for him.

This was the rhythm of willingly giving away one's own son-in-law!

"Big Brother Zhang, if this marriage arrangement works out, I will give you a big red envelope!" Liu Zhengqing said seriously, as Zhang Shoufu had effectively sold his son-in-law, and Liu Zhengqing definitely did not want to let him down.

"Alright, I will accept this matchmaker's red envelope!" Zhang Shoufu said with a beaming smile. "Ye Chen, Uncle Liu has spoken. What do you have to say now?"

"Well then!" Ye Chen smiled inexplicably. "Uncle Liu, as long as you're willing to take me, I'll be your son-in-law!"

Ye Chen's words were like a bolt of thunder that stunned everyone present.

"Great!" Liu Zhengqing's spirits soared immediately.

"This!"

Zhang Shoufu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ye Chen to agree so readily.

"Ye Chen, do you know what you're saying?" Zhang Xinlan said gravely.

There were many women around Ye Chen, some of whom were even more outstanding than Zhang Xinlan. She now had no extravagant hopes of possessing Ye Chen.

However, Zhang Xinlan wanted Ye Chen to give her status; she wanted to be the wife who would officially register with Ye Chen!

If Ye Chen were to marry into the Liu Family now and gain the recognition of Liu Zhengqing and his wife, then Liu Shihua would become the wife Ye Chen had openly and honorably married.

Zhang Xinlan had always considered herself the rightful wife. If Ye Chen registered with another woman, how could she bear it?

"I said, I want to marry into the Liu Family!" Ye Chen spoke earnestly. "Xinlan, I also want to spend my life with you, but your uncle and aunt look down on me, this silly young man, so we are destined to be without fate!"

Ye Chen spoke lightly, but Zhang Xinlan felt as if she had been dealt a heavy blow; her heart seemed to have shattered with a "snap."

Among the many women around Ye Chen, only one could gain status, and Zhang Xinlan had always believed that person was her.

But her great marriage prospect had been ruined by her own parents.

"Great!" In contrast to Zhang Xinlan's sorrow, Zhang Shoufu was exceptionally happy, his face blooming with smiles. The great father roared in his heart, "My foolish daughter, you are finally free, rid of this poor boy!"

"Xinlan, don't be sad." Wang Liyun held her daughter's hand. "You are the flesh that fell from your parents. Whatever we do is for your good; you and Ye Chen are truly unsuitable."

"Heh, if you act like this, you will regret it sooner or later!" Zhang Xinlan sneered.

"Your father and I will never regret it. We are doing this for your future happiness!" Wang Liyun said solemnly. "Moreover, you can see now that Ye Chen is just a man who despises the poor and loves the rich. To marry into the Liu Family and enjoy wealth and honor, he didn't even hesitate before heartlessly abandoning you and—even in front of you—agreeing to marry into the Liu Family!"

"Such a ruthless and unprincipled man is not worth your love!" Wang Liyun said earnestly.

"Okay, don't talk to me anymore, I want to be alone!" Zhang Xinlan said helplessly.

"Daughter, you have to see the big picture. Ye Chen has no status, no position, no money; what kind of good life could you have with him?"

"Ye Chen is not loyal to your love. Even if you continue to be together, he will eventually do something wrong, hurting you for a lifetime!"

"Good daughter, you can't move on to the new without letting go of the old. If this poor boy Ye Chen doesn't leave, how can you pursue your own happiness?"

"Xinlan, I will arrange a blind date for you tomorrow with a young entrepreneur who makes tens of millions a year, strong and robust, with a great body. Compared to that young entrepreneur, Ye Chen is nothing but dregs!"

Wang Liyun went to great lengths to smear Ye Chen in order to sever the ties between Zhang Xinlan and him.

"Mom, I said, I want to be alone!" Zhang Xinlan said slowly and impatiently.

"..."

Zhang Xinlan wore an expression of heartbreak and loss which made Wang Liyun sigh softly and eventually stop provoking her.

"..."

Zhang Xinlan was so angry she was pulling at her hair, realizing for the first time that there was a generational gap between her and her parents, which had doomed her irrevocably.

However, even if Ye Chen becomes the dependent son-in-law of the Liu Family, Zhang Xinlan was still Ye Chen's woman; her status remained unshakable.

But if this news got out in Mrs. Ye's circle, wouldn't she, Zhang Xinlan, be laughed to death?
