If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 345: Flirting with the mature and restrained young master in the Republic of China (9)

In the blink of an eye, the birthday party for Zhang Wenruo's mother, Yan Xiangning, arrived.

The Zhang family took this opportunity to invite the Jiang family to a private room in the restaurant for dinner, mainly to discuss the marriage of their two children.

After Zhang Wenruo returned from studying abroad, it was time to put marriage on the agenda.

Jiang Miao was Yan Xiangning's most satisfactory candidate for daughter-in-law. This time, the banquet was extravagant and went to the best restaurant in Suzhou City.

Not long after, people from the Jiang family also arrived.

Jiang Zuchang took his two daughters and step-mother to the restaurant. As soon as they got off the bus, Jiang Zuchang did not forget to remind Jiang Miao.

"Did you see it? Although the Zhang family is not as good as before, their reputation in Suzhou City is still very good. Being on good terms with them will also help our family do business in Suzhou City. Wen Ruo is a popular figure when he comes back from studying abroad. When you marry him, everyone in Suzhou will envy you."

Jiang Miao said with a faint smile: "You are right, the Zhang family does have considerable influence in Suzhou City."

Jiang Zuchang heard her yin and yang aura, and now he didn't want to quarrel with her when he entered the restaurant.

Tang Yiyan, who was following her, secretly clenched her hands. Her father also said that she was the one he loved the most, but in the end, everything good was given to Jiang Miao!
As soon as he was ushered into the private room, Zhang Wenruo's mother, Yan Xiangning, stood up and came over.

Zhang's mother was smiling all over her face, but Jiang Miao could still see her mean look.

"Oh, Xiaomiao, I finally looked forward to your arrival. You haven't chatted with me for a while."

Jiang Miao said hello, "Hello, aunt."

"Why don't you call me aunt? You can just call me mom tomorrow." Yan Xiangning's eyes were full of satisfaction.

When his son returned from studying abroad, he had not yet found any good position. Grandpa Jiang Miao was very well-connected in the Shanghai market, and he could let his family arrange something when the time came.

Zhang Wenruo stood aside silently and had no choice but to entertain the others. When he saw Tang Yiyan, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Why are you here too?"

"Brother Wenruo, don't you welcome me?" Tang Yiyan winked playfully, "Dad asked me to come with him so that I could meet my brother-in-law-to-be."

Zhang Wenruo laughed and said, "Where are you? Please sit down."

Tang Yiyan followed him and whispered: "When will Brother Wenruo be free to listen to me play the piano? I have never found an opportunity to repay my kindness."

"Next time." Zhang Wenruo saw that the banquet was about to begin.

"Wait a minute." Tang Yiyan subconsciously grabbed his sleeve and waited until he turned around before immediately letting go. She said with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I just had a problem that I couldn't figure out, so I called you out of desperation."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenruo frowned slightly. The parents of both parties were here. It would be inappropriate if someone saw him flirting with his fiancée's younger sister, so he took a step back and asked.

Tang Yiyan looked troubled, and she asked in confusion, "Brother Wenruo, you came back from studying abroad and studied in a new school. Are you really going to get into an arranged marriage?"

How come a man with a Western education doesn't look like a new-age man at all?
Zhang Wenruo frowned, "I'll pretend you didn't say that. Okay, I'll go see your sister. You sit here for a while."

After saying that, he was leaving.

Tang Yiyan caught up and stuffed a note into his hand, "I'm waiting for you here. I hope you can come and listen to me play a song. Brother Wenruo, I will always wait for you."

Zhang Wenruo left without saying anything, but he didn't throw away her note on the spot.

Tang Yiyan gritted her teeth secretly as she watched him leave.

Zhang Wenruo was not at peace inside. In fact, he had already taken Tang Yiyan's words into his heart.

He doesn't love Jiang Miao, and he married her purely out of responsibility and filial piety.

If he has no spirit of resistance at all, he will be regarded as a scholar of the new era in vain.

Just when he was thinking about it, he happened to meet Jiang Miao in the corridor.

Jiang Miao looked at the beautiful scenery outside the arched door window. It was still a while before the banquet started, so she wanted to wait before going in. Anyway, she didn't like to compromise with those people.

"Xiao Miao, I still want to talk to you again." Zhang Wenruo said this sentence by mistake.

He knew he shouldn't hesitate, but for the sake of lifelong freedom, he couldn't calm down. Jiang Miao looked at him, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Wenruo felt annoyed when he saw her calm and calm look, "Don't you care about this marriage at all?"

"If that's the case, I think there's no need to get married!"

"It's ridiculous." Jiang Miao's face gradually became cold.

"What did you say?" Zhang Wenruo couldn't see her seeing through everything.

Jiang Miao looked at him intently, "Let me tell you, you are not only indecisive but also cowardly and selfish. Since you decided to break off the engagement with me as soon as you returned to China, why did you pretend to win me back before?"

"I also know why you are looking for me now."

"While both families are here, you go to the banquet and tell everyone that you want to break off the engagement because you have your own pursuits. You are an intellectual youth of the new era and are unwilling to be bound by decadent culture."

Her request was not excessive at all, nor was she wrong in the slightest.

But Zhang Wenruo hesitated. If the engagement was broken off because of him, he would be under tremendous pressure.
Jiang Miao laughed out loud when she saw his appearance, "Don't you dare? Young people in the new era shouldn't be as cowardly as you. Although I never leave the house, I still dare to break off the engagement for my own happiness. made."

After saying that, she left directly.

Zhang Wenruo frowned and chased after him.

Just as the banquet was about to start, the elders from both sides were seated and were complimenting each other.

But Jiang Miao came to the banquet, stood and spoke to everyone.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone, but this marriage can no longer continue. Today, everyone is here to bear witness that Zhang Wenruo and I have officially terminated our engagement."

Before Zhang Wenruo could speak, he heard her blaming all the problems on herself.

"Because Zhang Wenruo is unwilling to be bound by an arranged marriage and doesn't want to marry me. There is no need for this marriage to exist."

There was an uproar at the table.

Is this a joke?

Jiang Zuchang scolded, "Xiao Miao, what are you making?!"

Jiang Miao ignored Jiang Zuchang and asked Zhang Wenruo, "Master Zhang, do you have no objection to what I said?"

Zhang Wenruo was irritated by her sarcastic gaze and said with a stern face: "You and I have different personalities, so we might as well break off the engagement."

After that, he turned and left.

"Wen Ruo, come back!" Zhang's mother shouted from behind, and then she fainted to the ground and the scene was chaotic.

Zhang Wenruo had no choice but to go back to check on his mother, and saw that Jiang Miao had already left the box.

Yan Xiangning's lips trembled and she grabbed Zhang Wenruo's hand, "Go and chase Xiaomiao back!"

"Wen Ruo, you are confused!" Zhang's father waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Why don't you go quickly!"

Zhang Wenruo looked in a daze, staggered up and chased after him.

As soon as he reached the exit of the restaurant lobby, Zhang Wenruo stopped her. What he touched was that she was as calm as if she were looking at a stranger, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Master Zhang, please give way." Jiang Miao really didn't want to get involved with him. If he still had sense, he would take the initiative to return the token.

She turned sideways to avoid Zhang Wenruo and walked forward, when she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a man who looked familiar yet unfamiliar.

He has cold and superior features, is wearing a black suit, has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and has long legs that attract everyone's attention.

Jiang Miao did not expect to meet his target Liang Hongsheng here.
