Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Severing Ties!_1

To avoid burdening his son with too much stress, Peng Ye’s father did not mention Zhan Linna’s pregnancy.

But Peng Ye was a smart man, and after a little thought, he sensed something was not right.

Logically speaking, with the Zhan Family’s huge enterprise, there must be no shortage of suitors for Zhan Linna. So why did she set her sights on him? Could it be because he was too handsome?

No, that wasn’t it. While he was indeed not bad-looking, there were countless others in Jiangnan City who were better looking and more accomplished than him.

Given the Zhan Family’s conditions, they would definitely want to find a son-in-law who excels in every aspect: background, education, and appearance.

No matter how he looked at it, Peng Ye felt he was not the best choice.

What he found strangest was that he had never met Zhan Linna. How could a girl be willing to get a marriage certificate with him?

Wait a second!

A thought suddenly struck Peng Ye as he remembered his father’s words, "Due to some unavoidable reasons, she returned from overseas a while ago."

Could these unavoidable reasons also be why Zhan Linna wanted to marry him?

He recalled a high school reunion from a few years back when his classmates lamented how liberal life overseas was. A girl from his class, who seemed quite demure and traditional, had gone abroad and within a year was led astray, ending up pregnant with a child of another race.

Could it be!

Peng Ye was shocked and angry, and tentatively asked, "Dad, after all you’ve said, are you trying to make me the fall guy?"

"You... You already know?"

Peng Ye’s mother, who had been listening on the side, blurted out in surprise, "How could you know about this?"

Just as he thought!

Peng Ye let out a cold laugh, crossing his arms and looking coldly at his father.

Peng Ye’s father glared at his wife, that woman who was good for nothing but messing things up. Couldn’t she see that your son is testing us?

But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Since the son knew, it was time to come clean.

"That’s right! Zhan Linna did indeed get carried away before, and she does have a child in her belly, but what does that matter?"

"A dowry of twenty million in cash! A Golden Eagle Mansion villa worth over twenty-four million! Plus two of the latest Porsche Cayennes!"

"All these things together are worth more than fifty million! And that doesn’t even include the profits from our Peng Family’s partnership with the Zhan Family next year!"

"The matter of Zhan Linna’s pregnancy is known by so few, it won’t affect your reputation at all!"

"Even if by one in ten thousand chance this gets out, what have you sacrificed? Have you lost a piece of flesh?"

"Peng Ye! Be realistic! That’s fifty million! Over fifty million! How many years would it take for you to earn that much?"

Unmoved by his father’s persuasion, Peng Ye’s eyes even held a hint of disdain, "If it’s such a great deal, dad, why don’t you divorce mom and take it on yourself?"

These words were almost unfilial, what child would try to break up their own parents’ marriage?

But Peng Ye was truly angered by his parents, hence the careless speech.

"Slap!"

Peng Ye’s mother was furious and her slap landed heavily on her son’s cheek, "Peng Ye! How could you say such a thing!"

Peng Ye did not dodge, letting the five bright red finger marks imprint on his cheek. He shook his head and then looked up resolutely, "Don’t bother trying to convince me. I will never agree to this, even if it kills me!"

"From today onwards, I have nothing more to do with the Peng Family!"

With that, he stripped off his groom’s attire, donned only a shirt, and walked out the door without looking back.

Once outside, Peng Ye gave a forced laugh and said to the bridal-dressed He Xiaohui, "Xiao Hui, sorry, it looks like the wedding is off today."

He Xiaohui froze at his words, but before she could speak, Peng Ye continued, "Don’t get me wrong, I’ve decided to move out of the Peng Family’s place today and rent a room outside."

"Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to earn the money for the wedding. With my abilities, it won’t take long to give you a wedding ceremony."

"Perhaps when that time comes, the wedding might not be held in a luxurious hotel, the ceremony might not be as grand, and we might not have as many guests as today, but would you be willing?"

He Xiaohui looked at Peng Ye, tears flowing down uncontrollably, "I am willing..."

"Good!"

Peng Ye was instantly teary-eyed. He bit his lip and embraced He Xiaohui tightly.

Luo Ning was moved by the scene. Seeing how adamant Peng Ye’s parents had been, she had been slightly worried he might indeed let Xiao Hui down. Now, it seemed she had worried for nothing.

Mo Han was a bit troubled though. If the wedding was canceled, wouldn’t the words he had said in front of He Yunke become a joke?

"Mo Han, can I ask you for a favor?"

While Mo Han was pondering, Peng Ye spoke up first.

Mo Han smiled slightly, "Sure, tell me."

"I’d like to ask Mo Han if you could drive me and Xiao Hui to Combined Strength Apartments on the South Ring Road?"

Peng Ye said, "I want to rent a room there first."

Mo Han admired Peng Ye’s decisive action and nodded lightly, "Okay, get in the car."

"Thank you so much!"

Peng Ye nodded quickly and took his fiancée He Xiaohui’s hand, ready to board Mo Han’s Mercedes G-Class.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan slowly approached from the distance.

Peng Ye’s father, who had hurried out of the room, recognized the familiar and imposing license plate and couldn’t help but exclaim, "President Zhan? Why is President Zhan coming here?"

Peng Ye’s mother was shocked and quickly said, "Old Peng, what are you talking about? Is that President Zhan’s car? Didn’t you just say President Zhan wouldn’t appear at Fokun Grand Hotel until two hours later?"

Peng Ye’s father replied anxiously, "How was I to know President Zhan would suddenly come to our house? Quick, we must stop Peng Ye!"

They looked at each other and rushed towards Mo Han. Peng Ye’s mother even grabbed Peng Ye’s hand, "Peng Ye, you can’t go!"

"If you leave today, and President Zhan blames it on us, our Peng Family will be done for!"

Peng Ye sighed, resolutely breaking free from his mother’s grasp, "Mom, did you even ask for my opinion before making this decision?"

"No! In your eyes, there’s only money, and no room for your own son!"

"As for President Zhan, if he wants to blame someone, you can put all the blame on me..."
