Chapter 637: Alliance
The formal negotiations between the two families ended in failure.
The next day, Cheng Che left M City early in the morning to go on a business trip. For this reason, Yin Jia, who intended to continue pestering him, was exasperated since she could not find him.
When Guan Tang ca to bid farewell to Yin Jia, Guan Tang looked haggard as though she did not sleep the entire night. She had always looked exquisite, but today, her face was bare without a stitch of makeup.
“What happened to you?” Yin Jia asked, slightly startled.
Guan Tang smiled weakly. “What I said yesterday was the truth. I won’t be an obstacle. I’ll leave if that’s what it takes for him to return.”
“Where are you going?” Yin Jia asked.
Guan Tang remained silent.
“Are you returning to the Guan family in S City?” Yin Jia asked. She could not help but raise her voice when she spoke.
Although Guan Tang had a forlorn expression on her face, she said with a beautiful smile, “The world is so big, there must be a place for , right? I’ll rent a small apartnt outside. After settling down, I’ll look for a job.”
“What a joke! You’re the Young Miss of the Guan family and the future daughter-in-law of the Yin family. What job are you going to look for?” Yin Jia felt that Guan Tang had lost her mind.
Guan Tang looked at Yin Jia and switched the topic. She said, “Sister, thank you for taking care of . From now on, we’re still relatives and sisters, but I’m no longer your sister-in-law.”
Yin Jia looked at Guan Tang. “Did you aunty agree?”
Guan Tang nodded slightly. “After all, Cheng Che’s return to the family is of grave importance. Hence, Uncle and Aunty have agreed to moving out. After all, I’m not a legitimate mber of the Yin family, and my presence is a hindrance to Cheng Che’s return.”
Guan Tang’s gentle attitude moved Yin Jia, but it ignited her anger toward the Yin couple. “So this is how it is! Now that they’ve exhausted your use, they’re burning the bridge!”
Tears finally fell from Guan Tang’s eyes. “Do you believe now, Sister? I’m just a chess piece. We’re both chess pieces. Blood ties aren’t important in the Guan family as you can see from my aunty’s attitude. Their care only depends on how useful we are to them. Our situation is really similar. I really wanted to gain Sister’s trust previously. However, it seems like there’s no need for that now. Everything is over. It’s ti for to leave.”
“Who said that?” Yin Jia said fiercely. Inwardly, she gritted her teeth and thought to herself, ‘As long as I’m around, nothing is over!’
Guan Tang sighed. “Aunty and Uncle are at their wits’ ends as well. I can’t help them. The only thing I can do is stop bringing trouble to them. Sister, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll contact you again after I’ve settled down.”
After that, Guan Tang turned around with an ashen face.
However, Yin Jia hurriedly pulled Guan Tang back and said, “Alright, I’ll accompany you to look for a place to stay. Just pretend like you’re going to leave, but I won’t really let you leave. You’re the person my mother personally chose. I only acknowledge you as my sister-in-law.” 2
Guan Tang looked incredibly moved by these words.
Yin Jia patted Guan Tang’s hand and said, “I still need you to help plan how to get Cheng Che to return. Apart from you, no one’s sincere.”
Guan Tang hesitated slightly before she nodded.
Yin Jia sighed in relief inwardly. She was sure that after this, Guan Tang would be completely on her side. After all, to pull Guan Tang firmly to her side, she had to show so sincerity. She needed Guan Tang’s help to clear so obstacles, after all. Her foolish brother was rather difficult to deal with. It seed like she could only use drastic asures to deal with him.
At this mont, Guan Tang said, “Sister, the most important thing is to make Cheng Che return willingly. We have to give him a good reason to return.”
Yin Jia’s eyes lit up. She knew that she and Guan Tang shared the sa thoughts.
