Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2099 - 2103: An Uproar Erupts

He and Mother Jian both disapprove of Jian Ruzhou being with Ho Yumeng.

Families like theirs, the Jian Family, have a moderately ranked position in Beijing, neither high nor low, but in a very delicate place.

With the slightest carelessness, their family’s status could be replaced by other families.

Like a boat sailing against the current, either you advance or retreat.

For the sake of the Jian Family, his son must marry a prominent lady who is well-matched with their family.

Marriage is the most solid alliance.

With an in-law whose power equals theirs, their family’s power would be much more stable.

Knowing his son fell for a school physician, he and his wife strongly opposed it.

His son was very fond of Ho Yumeng and adamantly refused to break up with her.

In the end, his wife went so far as to threaten with her life, only then did his son compromise.

They used both hard and soft tactics, persuasive appeals, and finally managed to convince his son to agree to an engagement with Dong Meitong.

Today is his son’s engagement party with Dong Meitong, why has Ho Yumeng come?

To cause trouble?

Mother Jian avoided Father Jian’s gaze and, feeling somewhat uneasy, said, "Who knows why she came..."

Sending the invitation to Ho Yumeng was her own decision; neither Father Jian nor Jian Ruzhou was aware.

She wanted to tell Ho Yumeng that Jian Ruzhou already has a well-matched fiancée, so Ho Yumeng should give up and stop pestering Jian Ruzhou.

That invitation was actually just a weapon to humiliate and strike Ho Yumeng.

She never thought Ho Yumeng would actually come! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In such an occasion, what is Ho Yumeng here for?

Seeing Jian Ruzhou stride towards Ho Yumeng, they hurried after him.

They knew how much Jian Ruzhou liked Ho Yumeng.

They were truly afraid that Jian Ruzhou might walk away with Ho Yumeng at this critical moment.

If that happened, not only would the marriage alliance fail, but it would also offend the Dong Family, leading to unimaginable consequences.

Jian Ruzhou strode up to Ho Yumeng and asked in a low voice, "Mengmeng, why have you come?"

Ho Yumeng glanced at the invitation on the ground, then looked up at him, "Your mother invited me."

"My mother..." Jian Ruzhou frowned, instinctively turning to look at Mother Jian.

Mother Jian hurriedly walked to his side, denying, "Son, don’t listen to her lies, I never invited her!"

"You never invited me?" Ho Yumeng raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you suggesting the invitation was forged by me?"

"Of course, you forged it!" Mother Jian suppressed the panic in her heart, wearing an expression as if stating a fact, "You surely didn’t want my son to be engaged to Tongtong, so you forged an invitation to come and disrupt things!"

Ho Yumeng chuckled, "Doesn’t Madam Jian pride herself on being a lady of a prestigious family? Turns out this prestigious lady is such a shameless person who spouts lies so effortlessly; Yumeng has truly learned something new today!"

"Who do you claim is spouting lies effortlessly?" Mother Jian’s face turned red with anger, "As a junior, how dare you speak disrespectfully to your elders; lowly birth indeed results in a lowly person. Luckily, my son chose Tongtong and not you."

"My lowly birth?" Ho Yumeng chuckled, "Madam Jian, remember these four words you said to me! Today, I’m not here to argue about my birth; I’ve come specifically to tell Master Ling something..."

She turned and looked at Jian Ruzhou, "Jian Ruzhou, you told me that you love me, but only because your mother forced you with her life that you had to get engaged to Dong Meitong..."

A commotion arose, and many guests gathered around.

As soon as Ho Yumeng said this, the hall became instantly abuzz.
