Chapter 384: I’m Calling Off This Wedding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing shook their heads helplessly. Even now, as long as Yu Zi was willing to go through with it, they would not say anything.

They would only try their best to help their daughter as much as possible. There was no way they would allow their daughter to marry into the family and then suffer at the hands of Pan Yunfeng and Yue Xingan every day.

That only made Yu Zi feel even guiltier.

She raised her hand and wiped her tears off her face with the back of her hand. Taking a deep breath, she said, “I’m calling off this wedding.”

Pan Yunfeng and Yuan Hejing were stunned. They did not expect Yu Zi to say that.

When they talked it over last night, they thought that Yu Zi liked Yue Jingchen so much that she was practically throwing herself at him. In that case, they would have all the say.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, however, Yu Zi actually said she was pulling out of the wedding.

Pan Yunfeng narrowed her eyes. She did not believe that Yu Zi meant it seriously. After all, she had been with Yue Jingchen for so long. They began dating while they were at university, all the way until they graduated. How could she call off a wedding just like that?

Pan Yunfeng did not believe it in the slightest.

Therefore, her tone turned cold as well. “Yu Zi, you shouldn’t joke about things like this! This is no time to be throwing a childish tantrum. You can’t act like this after you’re married! Marriage isn’t a child’s game!”

“I’m not throwing a tantrum.” Yu Zi looked at Pan Yunfeng icily.

Pan Yunfeng was slightly startled. Whenever Yue Jingchen had brought Yu Zi home for a visit in the past, Yu Zi had always been very respectful to her. She had never acted like she was acting now, with such obvious contempt in her eyes.

Could it be that Yu Zi had always been looking down on her? She had just been hiding it all this time, but now she finally could not resist anymore, right?!

“Thankfully, you haven’t prepared the rings yet, and I never received a bride price either. The only thing we had was this meal today, so it isn’t much,” Yu Zi said coldly before she finally turned to look at Yue Jingchen.

This time, she could not stay calm any longer. Her feelings for him over the past several years were not something she could dismiss in an instant.

“I’m sorry, Jingchen.” Yu Zi sniffled and said, red-eyed, “Let’s… Let’s break up. I think… I’m not the right person for you anymore.”

How could she not be right for him?

They had been dating for a few years now, so how could she only say she was not right for him now?

Yue Jingchen stood up as well. “Yu Zi.”

“I can’t do what Aunty wants me to do. Just think of it… think of it as I never loved you so deeply. Compared to you, I love my parents more. I can’t have them suffer constant humiliation for my sake. They should be proud of me, they shouldn’t be suffering for me. My father was right; since young, my father, mother, and brother had cherished me from the bottom of their hearts. After I get married, I won’t be stubborn. I’ll be good to my husband, filial to my in-laws, and do everything a wife and daughter-in-law should do. But that doesn’t mean I’ll let others trample all over me.”

Yu Zi wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “My parents and my brother raised me with so much love, and they didn’t do it so I would suffer at the hands of others once I grew up. But since Uncle and Aunty have already stated their stance, if I continue to insist on this wedding, I’ll only be insulting myself, my parents, and my brother. All my life, I’ve made them worry. I can’t have them continuing to worry about me even after I get married. When I get married and start a family, I should be putting their hearts at ease and making them happy, not making them upset.”

“Yu Zi, give me a chance. I’ll talk it out with my parents,” Yue Jingchen said, completely neglecting the fact that their elders were here.

He knew that Yu Zi was serious about this. He knew his parents had gone too far.

All these years, no matter how they argued, neither he nor Yu Zi had ever brought up the notion of breaking up.

Yu Zi once said that breaking up was like getting a divorce. It should not be something thrown around so easily.

That was why, if she ever actually mentioned it, that meant she was serious about it.

This time, Yu Zi was serious about it.

Yu Zi shook her head. “If you could talk it out, you would’ve done so ages ago. It’s over.”

“What do you mean by that, Yu Zi?!” When Pan Yunfeng saw that Yu Zi was being serious, she began to panic a little too.

Despite all her earlier bluster, she was still secretly ecstatic to have such a wealthy family as her in-laws. Yu Gesheng had many connections, and her son’s future promotions and so on would rely on Yu Gesheng’s help.

Was all of that going down the drain now?

Pan Yunfeng stood up as well. “This isn’t a game. You can’t just call it off at will.”

Since Yue Jingchen was here, Yu Zi did not wish to fight back with words. After all, she would end up dragging Yue Jingchen into it too.

That was why Yu Zi did not say anything. She just left her seat and walked to her parents, standing between them. “Mom, Dad, let’s go.”

Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing did not say anything. Even though they wanted to ask her if she was sure, they were not going to ask that in front of Yue Jingchen’s parents.

They supported their daughter’s decision at every turn. With that stance in mind, they stood up.

Yu Han stood up without hesitation too. He curled his lip at the three members of the Yue Family sarcastically, and then he took his place behind Yu Zi, standing as her protector.

Yu Zi noticed that, and it nearly made her cry again.

Ever since she was young, her older brother had always been protecting her, just like this.

No matter when, whenever she was bullied, he would definitely be the first to seek justice for her.

She knew that her brother was never satisfied with Yue Jingchen. He thought of the latter as a man who could not protect his fiancee, nor could he put the brakes on his unreasonable parents.

Yu Zi and Yue Jingchen still had love to keep them together now, but what if that love faded?

Yu Han had always been worried about that, but his love for his sister made him tolerate the Yue family. If it were not for that, there was no way someone as arrogant as him would have sat there and listened to Yue Xingan and Pan Yunfeng’s nonsense.

She had a family who cherished her so dearly. They loved her and wanted the best for her, so she should never put them in a rough spot.

Her love for Yue Jingchen lasted several years, yes, but it could not hold a candle to those decades’ worth of familial love.

Perhaps that was what Yue Jingchen felt too. That was why he never really tried to stop his parents, letting them do and speak as they pleased.

Yu Zi’s heart was set, but then she heard Pan Yunfeng shriek, “Wait!”

Pan Yunfeng could not be bothered with maintaining appearances now. She pushed aside her heavy chair, and when she rushed at them, she shoved the chair onto the carpet. If the carpet was not so thick, it would have emitted a deafening crash.

She ran over and tried to grab Yu Zi, but Yu Han was protecting Yu Zi behind his back, so he had long since stood between them. Pan Yunfeng could not reach her at all.

Yue Jingchen ran over to them too, pulling Pan Yunfeng back.

Pan Yunfeng was still trying her best to rush forth, yelling at the top of her voice, “Yu Zi, you can’t be so irresponsible! You were the one who said you wanted to get married, you wanted the engagement today, but then you ran off to work and only arrived at the last minute. Who gets engaged like that? It was your mistake, but you can’t take a word of criticism? You clearly don’t prioritize your wedding with Jingchen. And now? You’re suddenly saying you want to call it off! You can’t be so unreasonable, what do you take marriage for?”

“My sister has been tolerating you guys for a long time now. If she really was unreasonable, she wouldn’t have stood you for so many years. She isn’t canceling the wedding because she’s unreasonable, but because of you two. Mentioning it now is better than getting tortured at your hands in the future,” Yu Han said coldly, curling his lips into a sneer. “I’m curious to see what kind of a daughter-in-law you’ll end up finding.”

With that, he left with his parents, protecting Yu Zi between them.

Pan Yunfeng still wanted to chase them down, but Yue Jingchen desperately held her back.

“That’s enough, Mom! What more do you want?! You guys ruined a perfectly good engagement! Yu Zi and I had been together for so many years, and now she wants to break up with me! What else do you want?!” Yue Jingchen’s eyes were bloodshot. He was clearly taking this hard.

They said real men never cried, but right now, Yue Jingchen’s blood-red eyes were filled with tears, and he was trying his best to keep them contained.

“What do you mean by that? Are you blaming us? We never objected to you too. We only said that stuff today because it’s the truth. That’s how our family is, so what’s the point in hiding? Besides, their family is loaded, so we have to settle this in advance, or else she’ll definitely lord over you in the future. Do you want us to stand by and watch that happen? We did this for your own good!” Pan Yunfeng said stubbornly, acting as though she made perfect sense.

“If you really wanna do something for my own good, couldn’t you be just a little better to her? You always try to make things difficult for her, and she’s tolerated it all. But you guys went too far today, and you even said all those things in front of her parents. Since you don’t cherish her at all, why would her parents ever let their daughter marry me? Mom, Dad, are you really doing this for my own good? I want to marry Yu Zi, I love her, but you two keep insulting her, acting as though she’s desperately clinging onto me. I was the one who pursued her way back then, and I’ve been the one undeserving of her all this time. She didn’t care about our family’s financial situation, and she didn’t care that I’m broke and useless. She loved me with all her heart, so how could you humiliate her like that?!” Yue Jingchen said agitatedly.

“How could you say that? We’re just planning for your future. You’re young, so you don’t know anything, and yet you’re blaming us?!” Yue Xingan said angrily.

“No, I’m not blaming anyone. I just blame myself for being useless. I was unable to protect her. Today, I disappointed her.” Finally, Yue Jingchen could not hold it back any longer. The tears slid down his face.

He fell into his chair in despair, covering his face with his hands. His long fingers, used to holding a scalpel, were now soaked with tears.
