“Dad, why do I have to bring her to your birthday banquet? Look at her. How is she worthy of our family’s status?” The voice was arrogant and disdainful. It was Yu Yichen’s voice.

Needless to say, she was probably the only person in the world who could be discussed in such a disdainful tone by him!

“If she is not good enough, then who is ? That Xu Xin’er? Or some other wanton starlet that you know?” A calm middle-aged man’s voice rang in the air, making Ji Liunian pause.

Xu Xin’er.

She knew this person.

A year ago, Yu Yichen had made a scene at the engagement party because of this woman who had been “forced away” by her. She knew that Xu Xin’er was a new and popular celebrity. After that incident, she had gone to England, with the official cover as filming a movie and furthering her studies. She seemed to have returned not long ago.

“Xin’er isn’t some wanton starlet! She was a virgin before she was with me!”

Sure enough, when it came to Xu Xin’er… the devil-may-care Yu Yichen became very protective. Unfortunately, he had never shown her such tenderness.

“The Yu family’s daughter-in-law can only be Liunian! That kind of woman in the entertainment industry can never dream of marrying into our family!”

“Dad, I really don’t understand. Just what spell Ji Liunian has cast upon you to make you favor her like this?!” Yu Yichen’s voice was filled with grief and indignation. “I’m an adult! It’s the 21st century now! Don’t I even have the right to decide my marriage? I don’t like her at all. Why should I marry her?!”

It was not that he really hated Ji Liunian that much. He just could not accept such a forced arranged marriage! When he thought about spending the next few decades with a woman he was not in love with at all, his entire life became gloomy.

She understood that Yu Yichen did not love her. That was why he slighted her, mocked her, and disdained her. It was unfortunate that his method of not accepting this marriage trampled on her dignity time and time again!

“So, that’s why you didn’t buy a wedding dress the last time and didn’t even want to set a wedding date. And now, you want to bring a starlet to my birthday banquet? You’re an embarrassment to me!”

The argument between the two of them became louder and louder, so much so that it could be heard clearly through the thick door. Soon, Chen Yiqun and Yu Nuanxue—who had been in the living room—walked over. Father and son were arguing in the room, but Ji Liunian was standing outside. Chen Yiqun immediately frowned. “What’s going on?”

The two people in the room argued even louder. “If I only married that woman so that I wouldn’t embarrass you, then what’s the point?!”

“You can refuse to marry her,” Yu Bolan suddenly said.
