37: My marriage is my own decision

Haha, still a child? What a joke!

Regarding what Qian's father and mother said, Lan Zijun sneered inwardly, feeling even more displeased with Qian Tingyi's words.

However, she had expected this.

She had always known the character of the Qian family; she could see a thing or two from Qian Boda.

Like father, like son.

This old saying is indeed completely correct.

Although she knew this family had poor character, the previous Lan Zijun had truly never thought that Qian Boda would be so vicious and ruthless.

If it weren't for the mysterious person providing information this time, she might have really been succeeded by Qian Boda.

At that time, would the Qian family feel the slightest bit of guilt?

They would probably only think about cleaning up the mess for their son immediately.

Thinking of this, the disgust and coldness in Lan Zijun's eyes were completely undisguised as she spoke directly to Qian's father and mother.

"Alright, no need to say anymore."

Lan Zijun's interruption abruptly cut off Qian Tingyi's words.

The latter also noticed the disgust and cold emotion in Lan Zijun's eyes, and his heart sank slightly, knowing that this matter would be even more difficult to handle.

And as he expected, Lan Zijun spoke in a cold tone.

"I came today just to inform you."

Her gaze swept from left to right, glancing over Qian's father and mother, taking in their expressions before Lan Zijun said chillingly.

"I will not let this matter rest; I will investigate it thoroughly."

Qian's mother immediately wanted to say something upon hearing this, but Lan Zijun spoke first, interrupting her.

"And!"

Facing Qian's father and mother, who were so astonished their fists were clenched, Lan Zijun raised her voice and said with bone-chilling coldness.

"I announce that the marriage between me and your son, Qian Boda, is officially canceled!"

After speaking, Lan Zijun took out a small red brocade box from her handbag and pushed it from her side towards Qian's father and mother.

This was the token of betrothal when the two families set the marriage contract. Lan Zijun's meaning in returning it was already very clear.

"You—!"

Qian's father gritted his teeth, glaring at Lan Zijun, his eyes bloodshot, clearly angered.

He had been in the business world for so many years, and he never expected to be publicly shamed by a young girl today.

Coming directly to break off the engagement was simply slapping the Qian family's face directly!

The angry Qian's father suddenly thought of something. His gaze shifted from the token back to Lan Zijun and he asked.

"Did your parents know you came to break off the engagement?"

"Heh…"

Lan Zijun snorted lightly, her expression contemptuous, and said indifferently.

"I make my own decisions about my marriage."

Upon hearing this, Qian's father and mother's faces immediately turned pale.

They could hear the seriousness in Lan Zijun's tone. The two looked at each other again but were speechless towards Lan Zijun.

However, having navigated the business world for many years and weathered many storms.

Qian's father and mother were still able to remain calm, but their gazes also gradually turned cold, and their last bit of patience was worn away.

"Lan Zijun."

Heh, so he's not calling her 'Little Lan' anymore?

Hearing Qian Tingyi call her by her full name, Lan Zijun knew that the other party clearly intended to reveal his true intentions.

"Do you think marriage is like selling cabbage, where you can do it if you want and not if you don't?"

Facing Qian Tingyi's threatening words, Lan Zijun scoffed with disdain.

"Your son is already at Police Station, he can't disagree."

Police Station? She's already made her move?!

Qian's father and mother were startled. After exchanging glances, they both saw the panic in each other's expressions.

However, the two did not believe Lan Zijun's words alone, doubting whether she truly had the guts?

This was a commercial marriage between two families, with significant implications.

It could even affect the business plans of both families. Could it be broken so easily?

Didn't she fear the subsequent repercussions?

Immediately, Qian Tingyi took out his phone from his pocket and called his son.

Beep beep beep—

The busy signal didn't stop; Qian Boda just didn't answer.

Qian Tingyi felt a little panicked and started to believe what Lan Zijun had said earlier.

After all, since he was a child, his son Qian Boda was very afraid of him and never dared not answer his calls.

He called again, but Qian Boda still didn't answer.

At this point, Qian's mother, Xu Lan, also panicked. The couple took turns calling.

No connection, still no connection.

"………Tsk."

Looking at the actions of Qian's father and mother before her, Lan Zijun, who didn't want to waste precious time, clicked her tongue lightly.

She took out her phone from her bag, unlocked it, and found the photo Liang Yuzhu had sent her of Qian Boda being interrogated in the detention center.

Clatter—

Lan Zijun didn't say a word, just placed her phone on the table and pushed it towards the Qian couple.

"Boda!!"

The two confirmed that the person in the phone photo was indeed their son, and the environment was clearly an interrogation room at Police Station!

Qian Tingyi and Xu Lan exchanged glances, completely panicked.

A moment later, they recovered, suddenly raised their heads, glared at Lan Zijun, their chests heaving violently.

They never dreamed that Lan Zijun would be so heartless and so reckless, sending Qian Boda into Police Station without a word!

Did she really not consider the bigger picture at all, and not intend to negotiate?!

Sending Qian Boda, the only possible bargaining chip, into Police Station meant she intended to completely fall out from the start!

Qian's father was now completely certain that Lan Zijun was clearly intending to fall out, meeting move for move, leaving no retreat for either side!

For a moment, the couple wished they could rush up and tear Lan Zijun apart!

But the rationality in their minds warned them not to make such a choice.

After all, the initiative was currently firmly held by Lan Zijun.

"Calm down."

Qian Tingyi held his wife's hand, quietly warning her not to do anything unnecessary.

In his opinion, things had reached this point.

Even cursing and insulting would be useless.

The most crucial thing now was to persuade Lan Zijun to drop several charges against Qian Boda and reduce his sentence.

Then he would pull some strings so that his son, Qian Boda, could get out earlier.

The tablet Lan Zijun showed them earlier recorded his son's crimes.

Some of the charges could be decided by Lan Zijun, as the President of Yuantu Investment Company, whether to prosecute them publicly.

If Lan Zijun could refrain from pressing charges, Qian Boda could avoid multiple penalties.

Qian Tingyi, who had been in business for many years and was skilled at calculating, thought very quickly.

After making a quick decision, Qian Tingyi reached out again and tapped his wife Xu Lan's arm.

He signaled her not to speak and simultaneously raised his eyebrows. Xu Lan understood and immediately took out her phone, secretly contacting someone behind Lan Zijun's back.

None of these actions escaped Lan Zijun's eyes.

Watching Xu Lan's secretive little movements, Lan Zijun, with her arms crossed, didn't pay them any mind. Instead, she focused her gaze on Qian Tingyi.

"According to the script, now is the time to play the emotional card, right?"

"Uh…"

Lan Zijun's words caused Qian Tingyi, who was about to speak, to stumble.

However, in order to buy time, the latter still braved Lan Zijun's scornful gaze and spoke stiffly.

"Little Lan..."

At the same time, Qian Tingyi reverted to his fake smile.

"We are a family. We can discuss things properly, there's no need to involve Police. By the way, where did you get this information? Your uncle can buy it!"
