When Ding Yan heard this, he looked at Mo Wenjie with a slight shake of his head. Does he really have the qualities you described? All in all, you've portrayed him as a universal public husband. I still don't think he's that extraordinary!
Xiao Yawen, upon hearing this, smiled at Ding Yan and said, "Ding Yan, if you really don't like him, then don't force yourself. Such things are based on willingness. If you're not willing, Mo Wenjie won't force you either. We few have no objections. As long as you withdraw now, we guarantee that you won't be at a loss. The shares that are due to you will still be given to you. How do you think about it?"
Jiang Yu Ruan, upon hearing this, shook her head. "True blindness misses the gold embedded in jade. Such people are the most stupid, always feeling that they are extremely excellent. The family's superiority makes them not recognize themselves. I've never seen such a foolish person. She really doesn't want to endure it anymore. Ding Yan, do you feel very aggrieved being with your husband? If that's the case, I suggest you choose to withdraw. I can make a decision on this matter. It's settled. I'll let my husband give you your freedom. Do you think that my husband was willingly accepting us at first? If not for relatives' mediation, do you really think you could have married my husband?"
Tuobawo Yingying glanced at Mo Wenjie and then at Ding Yan, "We are best friends, and I came later. Now you're choosing to withdraw, which is truly unexpected to me. I don't know what's going through your mind, but I can't just watch you make a fool of yourself. If you decide to withdraw, I expect that the Ding family will definitely expel you and leave you to wander the streets. The reason is very simple: it's because you have affected the development of the entire Ding family. What good is a rebellious daughter like you? It's better for you to leave the family early. If you really don't regret it, there's nothing I can do for you either. Make your own decisions about your own matters!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the four people discussing this matter and shook his head helplessly. "Ding Girl, I have a question for you. If you tell the truth about this, I can let you choose to annul the marriage. After all, I don't want to go on like this, nor do I want to force others. I will talk to your sister about this matter. Do you have someone you like in your heart? Your sister doesn't know about it, and then your family forced you, isn't that what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yan nodded at Mo Wenjie and said, "That's exactly what you said. Although I can't make my own decisions, I'm not truly in love with you either. So I hope you can help me explain things clearly to my family. We two are not suitable for each other! Family members can't use me as a bargaining chip for their own benefits! I am really helpless and powerless! Please help me. I will never forget your kindness!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan after hearing her words and smiled, "This matter is something I'll handle. I'll take you home later and make everything clear. Just let you be free is all that's needed, I think the people in your Ding family won't subject you to hardship!"
Jiang Yu Ruan, Xiao Yawen, and Tuo Baoyingng looked at Ding Yan in disbelief, as if they were watching a fool. "She is really pitiful," they thought. "What kind of man could be more outstanding than her husband, yet she chooses to withdraw? That is truly unexpected. It seems not everyone is smart; there are still fools among us. Such fools are indeed rare. I think this matter will cause family hatred!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan and nodded. "Since you've already decided to break up with me, I will definitely fulfill your wish. As long as we go back together to clarify things, this matter will be resolved perfectly! You don't have to worry anymore. We'll resolve this matter quickly. Will the three of you go back by yourselves or come with me to Ding's family to settle Ding Yan's affairs? Then I'll send you back!"
Jiang Yu Ruan, Xiao Yawen, and Tuo Baoying, upon hearing this, looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled, nodding their heads. Then they turned back to look at Ding Yan, still shaking their heads. Ah! They really didn't know what to say anymore!
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them and said, "Since none of you have any objections, let's go to Ding's family now!"
All four nodded in agreement.
Mo Wenjie brought the four of them to Ding Yan's house!
Ding Li heard that Mo Wenjie came to the house, and he was overjoyed. He rushed out to welcome him personally. "Gentleman Mo, you're not busy today. Come and visit us with Ding Yan, which makes me feel very satisfied. And you even brought the three of them to see me, which really touches my heart." Since everyone has come, let's have lunch here before leaving! I will ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious food. You all can have lunch here before leaving!
Mo Wenjie saw that Ding Li was about to inform the kitchen to prepare more delicious dishes. He quickly stopped him, "Uncle Ding, I came today to talk about something with you. Once I've said what I need to, I'll be on my way back. You don't need to prepare any food. I really have something important that needs my immediate attention. Please let me finish speaking before I take the three of them home. After dropping them off at their homes, I have an important task to complete!"
Ding Li looked at Mo Wenjie and chuckled, "Since you have something urgent to do, I won't insist. Just say what you need, and as long as I can help, I'll definitely not hesitate. I'll promise immediately!"
Mo Wenjie, upon hearing Ding Li's words, felt his worries easing. Uncle Ding, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can grant my request!"
Ding Li looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "What's on your mind, kid? Just speak up. We're family; there's no need to be so formal. What's the matter?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Li and then at Ding Yan, "Uncle Ding, I want to annul the marriage!"
Ding Li, upon hearing this, looked at Mo Wenjie and had no idea what to do. "Kid, did you drink? How can you say such things out of the blue? Is Ding Yan the one who upset you? Are you just saying things in anger? Please don't do this. If she's done something wrong, you can tell me. I'll educate her and help you vent your anger. Is that not right? How can you say such things about annulment?"
Mo Wenjie hurried to explain, "Uncle Ding, you misunderstood. When I said I wanted to annul the marriage with Ding Yan, it wasn't because she did something wrong; she's done wonderfully and has no faults at all! I haven't argued with Ding Yan or had any disputes. I came here to talk about the annulment with you because Ding Yan has someone else she likes. She doesn't have any feelings for me. So we discussed it and decided to come here to tell you about it. I think you're a reasonable person as well, and you wouldn't do anything that doesn't consider your daughter's happiness for the rest of her life. So we came together to discuss this with you and see how we can resolve this matter most appropriately!"
Ding Li looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled, nodding his head. "Uncle Ding said, Little Mo, our Ding family doesn't agree with this matter. We don't care about who she had feelings for in the past, or who she will have feelings for in the future. But the Ding family recognizes you, Mr. Mo Wenjie, as our son-in-law. If she refuses to listen to our family's arrangements, there's really not much else to say. We'll just kick her out of the Ding family and make sure she's dealt with accordingly! Even if she dies, we will treat her according to the customs for unmarried women!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Li in disbelief. "Uncle Ding, there's no need to be so severe? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. It's not wrong for Ding Yan to chase her own happiness. Why do you treat her like this? This is very unfair to her. I hope you will give it serious consideration!"
Ding Li shook his head and looked at Mo Wenjie. "Wenjie, it's not a matter of me considering it or not. It's her decision to defy the family's wishes. There's nothing I can do about it. She must face the consequences. It's her own path, and she must decide how to walk on it herself."
Jiang Yu Ruan heard this and looked at Mo Wenjie. "I've also heard that those who died in adultery cannot be buried in the ancestral cemetery. Our Jiang family's ancestral code also says this, but I've never understood what it means."
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them and said, "This was a custom from the past. People used to believe that unmarried women who died in adultery or had accidents before marriage could affect the ancestral cemetery's Fengshui. In the past, unmarried young women who died before the age of eighteen were considered 'Fewer Passing', or those who died in unfortunate circumstances before marriage, which was treated similarly to 'Fewer Passing'. They were not allowed to be buried in the ancestral cemetery because doing so would disrupt the ancestral cemetery's Dragon Energy and affect future generations, potentially resulting in more 'Fewer Passing' individuals. Therefore, they could only be buried near the ancestral cemetery!"
Xiao Yawen, Jiang Yu Ruan, and Tuo Baoying, upon hearing this, looked at Ding Yan and shook their heads involuntarily. "This is too severe," they thought. "Is it really necessary to treat someone like this? Even though they think Ding Yan is a bit naive, she certainly does not deserve such punishment. It's too hard to accept. The ancestral code really is incredible!"
Ding Li looked at Ding Yan and said, "If you choose to annul your marriage with Mo Wenjie, then you can leave the Ding family now. There's no need for further discussion. This is the ancestral code, and no one can change it or alter it!"
Ding Yan looked at her father, then at Mo Wenjie, and shook her head again. Tears had already welled up in her eyes. "This is not what I wanted to see, nor was it what I expected," she said. "Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being so as well. I will leave the Ding family today and never contact any of you again!" After saying this, she turned and walked out of the Ding family without looking back!
Mo Wenjie looked at the scene and didn't know what to do. After all, this matter was somewhat related to him, and he couldn't just stand by. Since it was because of his proposed annulment that things had come to this, he couldn't let her be left out on the streets. He could only bow and salute Ding Li, "Uncle Ding, I truly didn't want to see things come to this. Let's let this matter rest. I will take my leave now."
Mo Wenjie led Jiang Yu Ruan, Xiao Yawen, and Tuo Baoying to leave the Ding family!
Mo Wenjie looked at the three of them and said, "It seems I can't drive you home now. Since this situation was caused by me, I should take some responsibility. You three split up and search for Ding Yan. Once you find her, bring her to the Mo Mansion. Don't let her be left on the streets!"
