Chapter 880: Chapter 880: So What Did He Say to You?
Seeing no one looking over, Sun Zhenling quickly pulled Xinyan outside: "Cousin, please, don’t let my parents know that I’m still in contact with Yuan Yikai."
Xinyan frowned slightly: "What’s the situation?"
Sun Zhenling glanced back at the house: "It’s all because of those two families causing trouble. My parents happened to come across it, and now they’re firmly against us being together."
Xinyan looked at her: "Then how were you together yesterday?"
Sun Zhenling looked guiltily towards the house: "That’s why I can’t let my parents know."
Xinyan splashed cold water over her: "The problem is not just me seeing you yesterday—my dad and Uncle Su saw you too."
Sun Zhenling was dumbfounded: "What? My second uncle saw it too? It’s over. It’s over."
In her panic, she almost scratched her ears and cheeks, suddenly grabbing Xinyan’s arm: "Cousin, you’ve got to help me."
Yuan Yikai’s situation didn’t look promising to Xinyan either; mostly because his family was too complicated. If Yuan Yikai couldn’t handle it, there would be endless trouble in the future.
If her cousin really wanted to marry him, their days would be chaotic: "Zhenling, you must be careful about this. This is a lifelong matter. You need to think it over."
Sun Zhenling sighed: "Cousin, Yuan Yikai’s character is truly beyond reproach. I know his family situation is a mess, but I like him for who he is."
Seeing her cousin was completely invested, Xinyan asked: "What did he say to you?"
Sun Zhenling fiddled with her fingers: "He initially tried to talk me out of it, but seeing my persistence, he said to keep it from my parents for now, until he has things sorted out, then he’ll come to apologize."
Xinyan didn’t know what to say for a moment; she couldn’t outright deny Yuan Yikai just because of all this mess: "From the first time you mentioned him, it’s been a while now, and he still hasn’t handled his family affairs?"
Sun Zhenling coughed lightly: "It’s not really his fault. He’s been traveling for work, only staying back for three or four days each time, so he hasn’t had time to deal with those family matters."
Xinyan saw her cousin wasn’t lying: "So what’s the current situation on his side?"
Sun Zhenling sighed: "He moved out with his aunt from the Zhang family, oh, I mean her husband’s family."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan asked directly: "Did his aunt compromise with her husband’s family?"
This wasn’t good news. If his aunt couldn’t stand firm and the Zhang family found them again, Yuan Yikai would constantly be in trouble. If this were the case, she wouldn’t approve of the relationship either.
Sun Zhenling shook her head: "No, after Yikai’s uncle died, the Zhang family first tried to force his aunt Wang Xiaodan to leave, thinking that way the two rooms they lived in would be vacated.
Ridiculously, those few sisters-in-law of his aunt even wanted Yikai’s aunt to pay a tribute to his grandmother.
His aunt was not the type to be bullied. She figured living in the Zhang family wouldn’t be peaceful, so she told them if they want the house, then they must forgo any future tribute money for the grandmother.
Initially, the Zhang family didn’t agree, thinking the house belongs to them and that if they force them out, the house wouldn’t go anywhere and still be theirs.
But Yikai’s aunt was no pushover and bluntly said if they didn’t agree, she would sell the two rooms and turn the courtyard into a big mess."
Hearing this, Xinyan rather admired Yikai’s aunt’s approach: "So has Yuan Yikai completely cut ties with the Zhang family now?"
Sun Zhenling clung pleasingly to Xinyan’s arm, nodding somewhat guiltily: "Sort of cleared up."
Seeing her evasive look, Xinyan knew it wasn’t completely resolved: "Explain clearly, or I won’t help you."
Sun Zhenling saw she couldn’t fool her cousin, shaking Xinyan’s arm: "His aunt has cleared things up, but those shameless Zhang family people are still trying to extort benefits from Yuan Yikai.
They claim that since the Zhang family raised him, though an uncle, he was also like a foster father.
Although his foster father passed away, they insist that as the foster son, he should still be filial, even causing scenes at the winery several times, but Yuan Yikai never relented.
Seeing they couldn’t get any advantage, the Zhang family thought if they couldn’t gain something, they’d make things difficult for Yuan Yikai and brought over his biological mother.
She’s also a senseless person; maybe her later marriage isn’t going well, so she fell for the Zhang family’s words, wanting Yikai to support her, which Yikai refused to do.
Not only Yikai, but even his aunt had a fight with her sister over this.
After several incidents, Yuan Yikai was fed up and went directly to the family her mother married into later, fighting his so-called stepfather and stepbrother. He’s been dealing with these messy affairs these days."
