Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO!

Chapter 361: Break off the Engagement! (3)

If his beloved grandson really did not care for the position of the president of the country, then why should he be bothered about it? At the end of the day, he would only be losing heart and cause his entire family to be in discord.

If that was the case, was it really worth it at all?

Shi Le’s behavior also surprised Shi Nuannuan who was standing aside by the door and Shen Lanzhi who was seated next to him.

In their opinion, status and identity were very important to Shi Le. He would never bow down even in front of Zuo Yi, who was the president of the country. However, he was actually putting down his arrogant pride today and was even bowing to the Secretary of Defense, who had an even lower position and status compared to him?

Tengtang Li and Tengtang Xi were also shocked by his reply.

Tengtang Li was stunned for a few seconds and when he finally regained his senses, the expression on his face changed drastically as he said, “Mr. Shi, what do you mean by that?”

Shi Le raised his head as he faced Tengtang Li apologetically. “We will just act according to your suggestion. We should just break off the engagement!”

“You!” Tengtang Li got up from the sofa before he yelled at Shi Le, “What do you treat the Tengtang family as? You are the one who proposed the engagement in the first place, you are the one who keeps delaying the marriage and you are the one who is calling off the engagement now! Shi Le, what do you mean by all this?”

Shi Le could only lower his eyes and sighed as he was faced with Tengtang Li’s anger. “I am really sorry about this.”

“Sorry? Do you really think that an apology would be enough?” Tengtang Li was extremely furious at this point!

Tengtang Xi who was seated on the sofa was also fuming with anger!

She has already lived for more than twenty years on this earth and this was the first time that she had ever suffered such shame and humiliation!

Who did he think she, Tengtang Xi, was? Was she something that they could just dispose of whenever they wanted to?

As she thought about this humiliation, Tengtang Xi could not help but clench her fists in anger!

However, Tengtang Xi knew very well that the Tengtang family would not be able to do anything at all if the Shi family really wanted to break off the engagement. If they insisted on staying here, they would only be suffering further humiliation!

Tengtang Xi had more self-respect compared to Tengtang Li!

When she saw the determined expression on Shi Le’s face, Tengtang Xi got up from the sofa and rushed out of the front door immediately!

When Tengtang Li saw his granddaughter leaving, he did not bother to continue arguing with Shi Le. He simply stood up as he hurriedly rushed out to chase after his precious granddaughter.

This was the first time that his precious granddaughter had been insulted and humiliated in this manner in her whole entire life! Shi Le was simply too hateful!

After both of them left the house, Shi Nuannuan who was stunned by the door suddenly regained her senses. In the next second, she rushed toward her grandfather with a pleasantly surprised look on her face!

“Grandpa! You… you actually agreed to break off the engagement?”

Shi Le glanced at his granddaughter who had just sat down on the sofa next to him.

“You don’t have to be so happy right now. Even though I have already called off the engagement with the Tengtang family, this does not mean that I will accept Zuo Weiyi.” In fact, Shi Le originally did not intend to break off the engagement in the first place. However, when he heard Tengtang Li’s words, he somehow wanted to call off the engagement immediately.

He was indeed old and could no longer control his grandson. If he allowed this to continue, he was afraid that he would eventually lose the support of the people in the country, and he was also afraid that the Shi family would become a joke in front of the whole country!

Since his grandson did not want to be the president, then Shi Le should not be forcing him to do so.

However, Shi Le still found it difficult for him to accept Zuo Weiyi because of her identity as an illegitimate child.

If this incident reached the media, then his family’s reputation would definitely be affected. How would they be able to face the country in the future?

“Grandpa… what is wrong with Weiyi?” Shi Nuannuan could not help but pout when she saw that her grandfather was still very unwilling to accept Zuo Weiyi.
