Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

At this moment, the second son, Chen Zhenglin, who had been standing beside Nanny Yan, suddenly smiled meaningfully. He then suddenly interrupted, "Madam Su, don't worry. My Chen family is well aware that you have been wronged, so my mother has specifically instructed us to compensate your family with some money as a token of our sincerity."

Hearing this, Su's mother, who was already angry, suddenly became even more furious. She angrily scolded, "Don't try to get rid of us mother and son with just a few silver coins. You are simply going too far!"

You know, Su's mother is usually gentle, and these words are the harshest accusation she can think of.

Nanny Wang was also dissatisfied with the Chen family's behavior. She felt that they were really rude. It would have been fine if they had just canceled the engagement, but they actually sent a junior and a maid, and even wanted to use silver to settle the matter. Did they treat them as beggars?

At this moment, Su Wanwan finally understood what everyone was talking about. It turned out that her brother was engaged to Chen Manli, the third daughter of Minister Chen, but she took the initiative to cancel the engagement because she disliked her brother.

Su Wanwan was indignant. Her brother was so talented, yet these people were saying he was worthless. This made her very angry! Wait...what? My brother was expelled from the academy? When did this happen?

Even Qing Ning, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but speak up for their young master. Not only could he design a dressing table, he could even draw cute stuffed animals. How could he be as useless as they said? Humph! How infuriating!

Su Wanwan turned her head in surprise and looked at her brother who was sitting calmly opposite her drinking tea. This central figure in the incident seemed unusually calm at the moment, as if he didn't care about all this at all.

The smile on Chen Zhenglin's face disappeared instantly. He looked at Su Yu with contempt, then sneered, "Madam Su, don't be so shameless. It's ridiculous that you have a toad in your family and you still want to eat swan meat."

Su Yu remained expressionless on the surface, but inwardly he was complaining. "If you want to cancel the engagement, then do it. Personal attacks are immoral. And what's with the toad? He's just a little fat, okay? How could a toad have such fair and tender skin? Besides, after these days of unremitting efforts in exercise, his belly is gone now. He looks much better, okay?!"

Mother Su was so angry at what Mr. Chen said that she was shaking all over. She pointed at him and her voice became trembling: "You, you, you...how can you talk nonsense like this! My Yu'er is obviously a blessed person. How can she be as unbearable as you say?"

Xie Nanxing, the little girl behind Su Yu, was furious when she heard Mr. Chen Er slandering her young master, but she didn't dare to interrupt easily. She secretly cursed the hateful Mr. Chen Er in her heart, and at the same time felt wronged and unfair for the young master.

If it were in the past, she would definitely stand up for the young master without hesitation, but now she has to consider her status and the occasion.

She knew very well that in this situation, if she interrupted casually, it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Su Mansion, and even be accused by the outside world of having no rules. Therefore, she could only suppress her inner dissatisfaction and stand silently behind the young master.

Xie An, on the other hand, appeared more composed. He stood quietly behind his master, looking ahead with a firm gaze. He was convinced that his master was capable of handling the current situation, because he knew that his master was not someone who could be easily bullied. Besides, Miss Chen San, Chen Manli, was not a good person either.

He still remembered clearly the incident of robbing the young master of the jade that he wanted to buy in the Golden Building. Therefore, he was not worried that his master would be harmed. Instead, he hoped that his master could resolve the crisis with wisdom and means.

He also secretly complained that the Chen family could just cancel the engagement, but why did they have to belittle their own young master for breaking off the engagement? They were really not from the same family and were as annoying as Miss Chen San.

Seeing her mother trembling with anger, Su Yu quickly reached out and patted the back of her hand, saying softly, "Mother, don't get angry and hurt yourself. Marriage is supposed to bring two families together. Since the Third Miss Chen is so reluctant, why don't we just cancel the engagement?"

Hearing this, Nanny Yan was overjoyed, but then she was also very surprised, thinking that the matter could be resolved so easily. She couldn't help but secretly regret that if she had known it would go so smoothly, she should have come to cancel the engagement earlier.

The second son, Chen Zhenglin, raised his eyebrows, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so straightforward and decisive. I apologize for any offense I caused by my words just now."

Just now, he deliberately mocked Su Yu in order to make him see his own status and identity clearly, and understand that he was ugly and stupid, and his father held a low official position, and was not worthy of the identity of a legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

He thought that Su Yu's family would be stubborn and refuse to cancel the engagement. However, seeing Su Yu so readily agree to cancel the engagement, Chen Zhenglin was a little surprised.

Since Su Yu is more sensible than he thought, there is nothing wrong with saying a few polite words to praise him. After all, he has more good words than bad ones.

Mother Su frowned, with obvious disapproval on her face. She thought to herself, if her son easily rejected this marriage, where would he find a daughter-in-law of such noble status in the future?

Mother Su said anxiously: "Yu'er, how can you cancel the engagement just like that? This..."

Su Yu quickly comforted her, "Mother, please rest assured. I am now an adult and have my own judgment and decision-making abilities. Please trust me, I will make the right decision."

Su Yu looked at Su's mother and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how pitiful are the parents in the world! As parents, no matter what their children are like, they always try their best to give them the best.

Even though the original owner was truly an uneducated and accomplished idiot, his mother never despised him. Instead, she was always quietly cleaning up the mess behind the scenes.

Su Yu turned to look at the second young master of the Chen family and asked in a firm tone: "Second young master, are you able to make the decision on the affairs of your family?"

The second son, Chen Zhenglin, mistakenly thought Su Yu was asking if he could make the decision about the marriage, so he answered without hesitation, "Of course, Master Su, feel free to speak up."

Su Yu smiled and said calmly, "There's no problem with breaking off the engagement with your family. I just don't know how much silver you plan to compensate us with."

When Chen Zhenglin heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He thought Su Yu would say something righteous, but he didn't expect that he was also a person who was greedy for money.

Originally, because Su Yu agreed to cancel the engagement so readily, his opinion of Su Yu changed slightly, but now his disgust for Su Yu became even deeper.

Chen Zhenglin's tone became cold and arrogant, and he said to Su Yu, "Ten thousand taels!" He thought to himself that originally everyone had agreed on five thousand taels, but his mother doubled the amount for the sake of Su Yu's great-grandfather, Taifu Zhao, and finally decided to give Su Yu ten thousand taels of silver to end the engagement.

However, Su Yu shook his head with an unsatisfied expression, stretched out three chubby fingers, and said firmly: "Thirty thousand taels!"

As soon as these words were uttered, not only Chen Zhenglin and Nanny Yan were stunned with astonishment, but even Su's mother, Su Wanwan and others were also extremely surprised.

On the contrary, Xie An and Xie Nanxing, who were standing behind Su Yu, seemed the calmest, as if they had anticipated all this. After all, they had experience with such situations.

The second son, Chen Zhenglin, said: "Brother Su, you are too greedy." After that, he glanced at Su Yu up and down, and said in a low and sharp voice: "Aren't you afraid that you will have money but no life to spend it?"

Su Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a bit of joking in his tone: "Second Master Chen, does your grandfather know that you are speaking nonsense like this in my Su family?"

Mr. Chen Er showed a look of astonishment on his face, and opened his mouth but was unable to refute.

Su Yu's words were like a sharp sword, directly blocking the mouth of Mr. Chen Er.

He stared at Mr. Chen Er closely, carefully observing the changes in his expression. He saw that Mr. Chen Er's face became extremely ugly, as if someone had revealed the deepest secret in his heart.

This made Su Yu laugh in his heart. It turned out that the Second Young Master Chen was just like that. He was so impatient and easily exposed his thoughts.

In fact, Su Yu was just testing him, trying to get some useful information out of him.

As for whether the grandfather of the Chen family really knew about this, Su Yu didn't care. He just wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters.

Looking at the embarrassed look on the second son of the Chen family's family, Su Yu had already guessed the truth of the matter. It must be that his mother had secretly come to cancel the engagement without the knowledge of the Chen family's grandfather.

As for whether other people in the Chen family, such as Minister Chen, the father of the second son of the Chen family, knew about it, Su Yu had no interest in knowing. His intention had been achieved, and he had successfully drawn out the other party's true intentions.
