Chapter 3069

This natural chasm was a twenty-minute drive, so most drivers dared not come here. It was simply too risky.

Yun Meng crossed the chasm and entered the Yun family estate. She parked her car in the designated large garage and then walked slowly toward the main house.

Because the Yun family was celebrating a joyous occasion today, there were many guests coming and going. No one noticed Yun Meng’s return.

Yun Meng had no intention of disturbing anyone. She went straight to the dressing room to see Yun Ling getting ready.

Yun Ling was very happy to see Yun Meng back. "Yun Meng, you’re back."

Yun Meng nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face. She handed the gift in her hand to Yun Ling. "Today is your big day, so I naturally had to come. It’s not anything special, please don’t mind it."

"How could I mind?" Yun Ling said happily. "I’m just happy you came."

Yun Ling carefully placed Yun Meng’s gift aside and then said, "By the way, Yun Meng, people from the Lin family are coming back today too."

"Oh." Yun Meng’s expression remained calm. "Since it’s your engagement today, everyone with some connection to the Yun family will be here."

"No, that’s not it. I heard from Dad that he seems to want to introduce you to Lin Shaohua from the Lin family." Yun Ling watched Yun Meng’s expression carefully.

Yun Meng said indifferently, "After attending your engagement banquet, I will leave. Even if he wants to introduce us, he needs the opportunity."

"Wait, you’re not staying at home today?" Yun Ling was stunned.

"I originally planned to stay for one night, but after hearing your news, I decided not to stay." Although walking at night seemed a bit dangerous, she felt it was better to leave than to stay at home and be schemed against.

Yun Ling looked at Yun Meng, feeling a bit speechless. "Yun Meng, actually, I think Lin Shaohua is a decent person."

"I know that," Yun Meng said. "Although I haven’t had much contact with Lin Shaohua, we can be considered childhood friends. But even so, that doesn’t mean I can let Dad introduce me to him. Such an introduction lacks comparison, and I wouldn’t agree to it anyway."

"For families like ours, political marriage is inevitable," Yun Ling reminded her.

"So I have no intention of staying in the Yun family forever," Yun Meng said calmly. "Sister, I like my current life and don’t want it to be broken."

Yun Ling looked at Yun Meng. After a long while, she said, "Alright, if that is your wish."

Yun Meng gave an affirmative answer. "That has always been my wish."

Seeing Yun Meng’s determination, Yun Ling said no more. Perhaps she wanted to say something, but ultimately didn’t. She actually understood this sister of hers. Yun Meng had first-rate abilities as a Soul Catcher, yet she was unwilling to become a true Soul Catcher.

Of course, this was a loss for the Yun family, but it was Yun Ling’s luck.

Because Yun Ling understood one thing: if Yun Meng became a Soul Catcher, the Yun family heir would likely be Yun Meng, not her.

One of the reasons Yun Meng preferred to be a flower shop owner was to avoid the struggle for the Yun family inheritance.

Seeing Yun Ling busy, Yun Meng sat for a while and then went to the hall, finding a corner.

Fortunately, today’s banquet was buffet-style, so Yun Meng took some food she wanted to eat and went to the corner, eating while watching the scene.

It had to be said that the bride and groom-to-be were quite good-looking, a match of talent and beauty. However, Yun Meng still clearly saw that there was no marital fate between them.

Yun Meng frowned slightly. She had long known that Yun Ling would face a tribulation, but now she saw signs of blood disaster and a near-death experience on Yun Ling’s face.

Although there was still a chance of survival, it was still very dangerous.

Yun Meng thought to herself that she needed to find an opportunity to warn Yun Ling.

It annoyed her that she hadn’t noticed this earlier in the dressing room.

The fact that Yun Ling’s facial features changed in such a short time meant that the cause of this incident had already appeared. Looking at the situation around Yun Ling, this cause was likely Chu Jiaxiang.

"The parents of both sides have no objections, so the engagement ceremony will begin," the host announced loudly.

"I have an objection." At that moment, a young woman shouted loudly.

Yun Meng recognized her immediately as Feng Xiang’er, from the small Feng family, skilled in talisman arts.

Yun Meng felt uneasy, so she slowly moved closer to Yun Ling.

"Chu Jiaxiang, you said you would marry me. Why are you getting engaged to her today?" Feng Xiang’er asked.

Instantly, the guests looked at each other. What was going on? Marriages between two families were not something to be taken lightly. Once decided, they could not be revoked.

Therefore, the parents of both families had repeatedly confirmed that Chu Jiaxiang and Yun Ling were willing before holding this engagement ceremony.

Chu Jiaxiang looked at Feng Xiang’er, wanting to speak but ultimately staying silent.

Yun Ling turned to look at Chu Jiaxiang. "Chu Jiaxiang, if there are things to say, it’s best to say them clearly now. We are not engaged yet. If you want to regret it, it’s still in time. Once the engagement is successful, no matter how many first loves or true loves you have had in the past, I will demand that you cut them all off."

Yun Ling was the heir to the Yun family. Because she had grown up with Chu Jiaxiang, she still had good feelings for her. This was why she agreed when her father proposed the engagement.

As the heir to the Yun family, she didn’t have ideas about free love. Besides, she didn’t dislike Chu Jiaxiang.

But this didn’t mean she would allow her partner to have affairs outside.

Chu Jiaxiang looked at Yun Ling. Her eyes were too clear, making her feel a bit ashamed. she looked at Feng Xiang’er and said, "Feng Xiang’er, I am voluntarily getting engaged to Yun Ling. Please leave. I will not marry you. I wish you can find a partner suitable for you."

"A partner suitable for me? Chu Jiaxiang, you scum! How can you say such things? If you hadn’t pursued me back then, would I have agreed to date you?" Feng Xiang’er asked angrily.

Seeing that Chu Jiaxiang no longer paid attention to her, Feng Xiang’er turned to look at Yun Ling. "You’re willing to get engaged to such a scum?"

"Since our two families agreed, I won’t object," Yun Ling said. Even if Yun Ling was dissatisfied with Chu Jiaxiang’s past relationship with Feng Xiang’er, she wouldn’t hold it against her now.

There was no way around it. No matter how you looked at it, this was just a pre-marital romantic affair. Yun Ling couldn’t hold Chu Jiaxiang’s past romances against him.

Feng Xiang’er understood this rationally, but she was unwilling to accept it. She looked at Yun Ling and said, "Yun Ling, why don’t you step down?"
