Hearing such news, though He Zhilan felt pity for Lin Deng, as a good friend of Jiang Biyun and an eyewitness to how Lin Deng’s parents oppressed and humiliated the Jiang Family, she felt a particular sense of relief on behalf of the Jiang Family.

"I heard that my auntie personally went to the Gu Family to call off the engagement, but surprisingly, the Gu Family disagreed." Lin Chan clicked his tongue twice, "It seems that the Gu Family still wants to protect Gu En. Although they’ve annulled the adoption, it is clear that the Gu Family still cares about Gu En. Therefore, they do not agree to the annulment of the marriage between Lin Deng and Gu En. The Gu Family must be thinking that the Lin Family is also of a good standing, and marrying Gu En into the Lin Family means she won’t have to worry. It’s truly shameless of the Gu Family.

They picked up a little beggar from somewhere and now treat her like a treasure they wish to push onto the Lin Family. "

"Did Lin Deng’s mother agree? You have to know that even if Gu En is released from prison in a few years, she’ll still have a criminal record.

Everyone in our circles is respectable, and her family would become the laughingstock.

" Chen Yun laughed outright, "However, if the Lin Family still accepts Gu En as their daughter-in-law, it would mean they owe the Gu Family a favor.

In the future, the Gu Family will owe the Lin Family one.

So, if the Lin Family still wants to ingratiate themselves with the Gu Family, then marrying Gu En is essential. "

"I’m not clear about what they’re thinking, but so far, you’ve not heard any formal announcement about Gu En and Lin Deng calling off the marriage.

I guess, the Lin Family is also contemplating what you just mentioned.

They understand these principles. So, they either opt for a daughter-in-law with a semblance of dignity, or they cling to the Gu Family’s coattails.

However, if they choose the latter, the road ahead for the Lin Family might be smoother, but wherever they go, they’ll be the subject of mockery and ridicule," he added.

Lin Chan didn’t take much interest, "As for these matters, Lin Deng himself is acting like an ostrich, hiding and not caring, letting his parents dictate everything. If his marriage turns out to be unhappy in the future, who can he blame? It’s his own fault.

In my opinion, now is the best time to call off the marriage.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Biyun has just left not long ago, they should quickly call it off and bring Jiang Biyun back, wouldn’t that be great?

But look at Lin Deng, he’s already given up on himself. Who else would wake him up?"

"When it comes down to it, Gu En is nothing but a scourge.

She previously wreaked havoc on Lan Li and Ding Jinshi, and now on Lin Deng and Jiang Biyun," He Zhilan huffed, "She just can’t stand to see others happier than her and always tries to destroy their happiness. She’s truly an extreme psychopath. "

Mentioning Ding Jinshi, everyone at the table sighed. In their circle, who hadn’t heard the parents-in-law badmouth Ding Jinshi?

They had heard all sorts of ugly words; so many people in the circle were laughing at the Ding Family!

It was unheard of to see in-laws smear their daughter-in-law everywhere and describe their own granddaughter in such an unbearable manner – as a Little Devil, a loss-making venture, and so on.

The critiques were as harsh as they were plentiful.

It has to be said that Ding Long’s parents were truly of an extraordinary kind.

"Ding Jinshi is already married and her child is grown up now, while Lan Li still has no intention of dating, and he’s in his thirties.

The Lan Family must be incredibly anxious.

Guessing, they must also deeply resent Gu En right now," Chen Yun stroked his chin and said, "In the beginning, when Lan Li and Ding Jinshi were dating, the Lan Family treated Ding Jinshi as their own daughter, convinced that she would become their daughter-in-law. They were even anticipating the wedding right after Ding Jinshi finished her studies, never expecting all these things to happen. If Gu En had stayed at the Gu Family as the proper Miss Gu, that would have been one thing, but now, she’s brought such disgrace upon both the Gu Family and the Lan Family.

The Lan Family, which once doted on that Little Devil Gu En, now must be filled with nothing but regret. "
