She could not let her parents tolerate her for her sake.
Yue Jingchen was a good person, but he was not as good as her parents.
Now she knew that getting married was not just about the two of them. It was about the two families. Her parents were not willing to get married not because they looked down on Yue Jingchen's family, but because his parents …
Her parents had suffered too much for her sake.
If they still insisted, she would be unfilial.
Tears fell from Yu Zi's eyes. She turned to her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm unfilial. I made you suffer."
Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing shook their heads helplessly. Even at this point, they would not say anything as long as Yu Zi was willing.
They would only fight for their daughter as much as possible. They could not let her marry Yue Jingchen and be bullied by Pan Yunfeng and Yue Xingan every day.
Seeing this, Yu Zi felt even more guilty.
She raised her hand and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm not getting married."
Pan Yunfeng and Yue Xingan were stunned. They did not expect Yu Zi to say that.
Last night, the two of them had discussed it. Yu Zi liked Yue Jingchen so much that she was practically throwing herself at him, so the initiative was in their hands.
But who would have thought that Yu Zi would not get married?
Pan Yunfeng narrowed her eyes. She did not believe that Yu Zi did not want to get married. After all, she and Yue Jingchen had been together for so many years. The two of them had been dating since they were in university, and it had been so long since they graduated. How could they just stop talking about marriage?
Pan Yunfeng did not believe it.
She said coldly, "Yu Zi, you can't say that! Why are you throwing a tantrum at a time like this? You can't do this after you get married! Marriage is not a game! "
"I'm not throwing a tantrum." Yu Zi looked at Pan Yunfeng coldly.
Pan Yunfeng was shocked. Yu Zi had always been very respectful to Yue Jingchen when he brought her home. She had never looked at her with such obvious disdain.
So Yu Zi had been looking down on her from the start. She just did not show it. Now, she could not hold it in anymore!
"Luckily, I haven't prepared the ring and I haven't received the wedding gift. It's just a meal today. It's nothing," Yu Zi said coldly and looked at Yue Jingchen.
At this moment, she couldn't stay calm anymore. A few years of feelings couldn't just disappear like that.
"Jingchen, I'm sorry." Yu Zi sniffled and said with red eyes, "Let's … let's break up. I think … I'm not suitable for you anymore. "
How could it not be suitable?
We've been dating for a few years, and now you're saying we're not suitable for each other?
Yue Jingchen also stood up. "Yu Zi."
"I can't do what Auntie said. Just … just pretend that I don't love you that much. Compared to you, I love my parents more. I can't let them be humiliated because of me. They should be proud of me. They shouldn't be wronged because of me. My father was right. Ever since I was young, my father, my mother, and my older brother have always treated me with respect. After getting married, I won't be willful. I'll treat my husband well, be filial to my in-laws, and fulfill my duties as a wife and daughter-in-law. But this doesn't mean that I'll let others trample on me. "
Yu Zi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "My parents and older brother have loved me since I was young. They didn't want me to be humiliated in someone else's house when I grow up. Since Auntie and Uncle have already said this, if I insist on this marriage, it'll be an insult to myself, to my parents, and to my older brother. I've always let them worry about me since I was young. I can't let them worry about me when I get married. Starting a family and starting a career should be something that makes them feel at ease and happy, not something that makes them sad. "
"Yu Zi, give me a chance. I'll make it clear to my parents," Yue Jingchen said, ignoring the fact that all the elders were present.
He knew that Yu Zi was serious. He knew that his parents had gone too far.
All these years, no matter how much he and Yu Zi quarreled, neither of them had ever taken the initiative to break up.
Yu Zi once said that breaking up was like getting a divorce. It shouldn't be mentioned easily.
So, if one day, she really said it, then she meant it.
This time, Yu Zi was serious.
Yu Zi shook her head. "If I wanted to make it clear, I would have made it clear long ago. That's it."
"Yu Zi, what do you mean?" Pan Yunfeng panicked a little when she saw that Yu Zi was serious.
Although she said it confidently, she was secretly happy that her in-laws were from such a big family. Yu Gesheng had a wide network of connections. In the future, her son would need Yu Gesheng's help when he was promoted.
But now, it was going to be a failure.
Pan Yunfeng stood up. "This isn't a child's play. It's not something you can stop just because you say so."
With Yue Jingchen around, Yu Zi didn't want to say anything sarcastic. After all, it would implicate Yue Jingchen.
So, Yu Zi didn't say anything. She left her seat and walked to her parents. "Dad, Mom, let's go."
Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing didn't say anything. Even if they wanted to ask her if she had really thought it through, they didn't want to ask in front of Yue Jingchen's parents.
Everyone stood up in support of their daughter.
Yu Han also stood up without hesitation. She pouted mockingly at Yue Jingchen's family of three and stood behind Yu Zi like a bodyguard.
Yu Zi felt it too. She almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Ever since she was young, her brother had always been like this. He had always protected her.
No matter when, as long as she was bullied, he would stand up for her immediately.
She knew that her brother had always been dissatisfied with Yue Jingchen. He thought that as a man, he couldn't protect his fiancée. He couldn't calm down his unreasonable parents.
Yu Zi and Yue Jingchen loved each other now. But what if their love was wasted?
Yu Han had always been worried. But because of her love for her sister, she had always tolerated the Yue family. Otherwise, with their proud characters, they wouldn't sit here and listen to Yue Xingan and Pan Yunfeng's nonsense.
She had a family who loved her so much. They loved and cared for her. She couldn't make things difficult for them.
A relationship of a few years couldn't compare to a family that had lasted for decades.
Maybe Yue Jingchen thought so too. That was why he didn't effectively restrict his parents' behavior.
Yu Zi's heart didn't waver. But she heard Pan Yunfeng scream. "Wait!"
Pan Yunfeng didn't care about her manners. She pushed the chair away. When she rushed over, the chair was pushed to the carpet. Because the carpet was thick enough, it didn't make a deafening sound.
She rushed over and wanted to grab Yu Zi. But Yu Zi was protected by Yu Han. Pan Yunfeng couldn't touch her at all.
Yue Jingchen also rushed over and pulled Pan Yunfeng back.
Pan Yunfeng still wanted to rush forward and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yu Zi, you can't be so irresponsible. You said you wanted to get married. You were the one who got engaged today, but you went to work and only came at the last moment. Is there anyone who gets engaged like this? You didn't do well, but you don't let me talk about it? You obviously don't value your marriage with Jingchen. Now, you suddenly say you don't want to get married. You can't be so stubborn. What do you think marriage is?
My sister has tolerated you for a long time. If she was really stubborn, she wouldn't have tolerated you for so many years. Not getting married is not because she is stubborn. It's all because of you. It's better to bring it up now than to be put in a difficult position in the future. " Yu Han said coldly. She curled her lips mockingly. "I want to see what kind of daughter-in-law you can find in the future."
Then, she and her parents protected Yu Zi and left.
Pan Yunfeng wanted to chase after them, but Yue Jingchen stopped her.
"Enough! Mom, what else do you want? You ruined our engagement. Yu Zi and I have been together for so many years. Now she wants to break up with me. What else do you want? "Yue Jingchen's eyes were bloodshot. He was obviously greatly agitated.
People say that men don't cry easily. But at this moment, Yue Jingchen's bloodshot eyes were filled with tears. He was trying hard to hold them back.
"What do you mean? Are you blaming us? We've never objected to you being with her. We said all this today because this is indeed the situation in our family. What's there to hide? Besides, she's from a big family. You have to make it clear in advance. Otherwise, we'll have to watch her ride over your head in the future. We're doing this for your own good! "Pan Yunfeng said with a very reasonable attitude.
"If you really want to do this for my own good, then treat her better. Can't you? You always make things difficult for her, and she tolerates it. But today, you're too much. You even said those things in front of her parents. If you don't cherish her, who would be willing to marry their daughter to me? Dad, Mom, are you really doing this for my own good? I just want to marry Yu Zi. I love her, but you keep insulting her. You make it sound like she's throwing herself at me. In the beginning, I was the one who pursued her. All this time, I'm not worthy of her. She doesn't care about our family's situation. She doesn't care that I'm poor and incapable. She treats me wholeheartedly. How can you humiliate her like this? "Yue Jingchen said agitatedly.
"How can you say that? We're just thinking about our future. You're so young and you don't know anything. How can you blame us? "Yue Xingan said angrily.
"No, I don't blame anyone. I only blame myself for being incapable and not being able to protect her. I've disappointed her today. "Yue Jingchen couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
He slumped on the chair and covered his face with his hands. His long fingers, which were used to holding the surgical knife, were soaked with tears.
Just now, when he saw the disappointment in Yu Zi's eyes, he felt as if his heart was being hammered by a huge hammer. He felt as if his chest had been shattered. He didn't even have the face to face Yu Zi.
"You're still blaming us!" Pan Yunfeng pointed at Yue Jingchen. She was very angry.
She always felt that the Yu family looked down on them. In fact, they didn't. However, Pan Yunfeng just had to think that way.
The more she felt that her family was poor and that the gap between them and the Yu family was like heaven and earth, the more she felt inferior. She always used evil intentions to guess others. The Yu family's ordinary actions would be interpreted by her. She felt that they were looking down on her.
Yue Jingchen didn't want to talk to Pan Yunfeng anymore. He covered his face and didn't say anything.
