Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 712: Persuasion

Old Master Yin was naturally aware of that. He waved his hand and said dismissively, “Don’t worry about such an irrelevant person. Just do what you want. Let me tell you, a man’s heart won’t remain unmoved forever. Don’t be afraid. He’ll definitely be touched and admire you as long as you show your sincerity. Do you understand?”

Guan Tang nodded. “I understand, Grandpa. I’ll do my best.”

Old Master Yin was very happy. He had watched Guan Tang grow up. If it were not for Cheng Che’s return to the family, he would have found her a good family to marry into; a family that would benefit the Yin family. However, it was naturally best if Guan Tang could marry into the Yin family. With that, the Yin family would have control over the Guan family as well.

Guan Tang and Yin Jia accompanied Old Master Yin for lunch and waited on him before he went for his afternoon nap.

Yin Jia made her way to the garden, and Guan Tang had no choice but to accompany her. She no longer had the gentleness when facing Old Master Yin, and her voice was frosty and hard as she said, “Cheng Che’s girlfriend hasn’t been found yet. It’s really strange. How can a living person just vanish into thin air?”

Guan Tang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. She tried to suppress the panic in her heart as she said, “Perhaps, she’s just pulling a prank on Cheng Che, and she’s not really missing?”

Yin Jia looked at Guan Tang with a strange expression as she asked, “How did you even come up with such a ridiculous possibility?”

Guan Tang shut her mouth immediately.

Yin Jia sneered as she said, “There’s no need for you to pretend to be pitiful in front of me. I advise you to give up on Cheng Che. He told me about the various ‘tests’ you pulled on him. Don’t waste your efforts. Why don’t you use your brain and think of a way to tie my brother down instead? You even have my grandfather’s support now. Don’t waste such a good opportunity.”

Guan Tang’s face paled immediately as she hastily said, “Sister, I didn’t…”

Yin Jia refused to listen to Guan Tang. She interjected, “That’s enough. From now on, we can just continue our sisterly relationship in front of everyone. When no one’s around, we can just do whatever makes us feel comfortable. The most important thing is to do our respective tasks. Apart from that, you should dismiss all your unnecessary thoughts. Although I agree to you marrying my brother, it doesn’t mean that I’ll allow you to harm his interest and reputation.”

After Yin Jia finished speaking, she did not wait for Guan Tang’s reply and walked away immediately.

Guan Tang clenched her hands tightly, digging her nails into her palms. When she felt someone patting her shoulder, she jumped in fright and spun around only to see her aunt, Guan Ning. She called out, “Aunty?”

Guan Ning smiled faintly. “What’s wrong? Did our Eldest Young Miss frighten you?”

Guan Tang quickly composed herself and said, “No. What’s there to be afraid of about her?”

Guan Ning’s smile froze on her face briefly before she said, “That’s right. What’s there to be afraid of? However, after so many years, even with the two of us combined, we still can’t beat her. There’s nothing we can do; she’s the Eldest Young Miss of the Yin family, after all. Guan Tang, no matter what method you use, I’ll support you. If you need money, just let me know. I only have one request: drag the Eldest Young Miss down from her pedestal! I want her reputation to be ruined.”

Guan Ning’s voice turned vicious nearing the end of her words.

Guan Tang lowered her gaze and did not speak.

Guan Ning did not care much. She only wanted to vent her feelings. After a moment, she said, “Oh, right. Yin Yi is really fond of Mu Chen. She’s found all kinds of excuses to get close to Mu Chen. I’ll give you a task. When Yin Yi goes to the Mu family, you can go to the Mu family under the pretext of bringing Yin Yi back. With this, you have a legitimate excuse to get close to Cheng Che.”

Guan Tang was slightly surprised. This chance was like a pie falling from the sky.

Guan Ning let out a long sigh before she continued to say, “After settling you two sisters down, I’ll be able to seek justice for my son.”
