Reborn As Super Heiress

A farcical engagement banquet came to an abrupt end, leaving the Liang Family members stranded in the banquet hall. As Zhang Shuang followed Master Zhang out of the hall, she glanced towards the corner where Huo Sining and the others were, giving Song Hui a look full of helplessness, as if saying, ”After all this, are you satisfied now?”

Of course, Song Hui was satisfied. Liang Jinghong was never a good person, daring to covet his own fiancée. Not rushing in to beat up this kid was already good enough. He hoped that after today’s incident, the Liang Family would act wisely and not attempt any more tricks, or else he wouldn’t mind stepping in to take care of these people!

The entire Zhang Family stormed back to the old mansion from the hotel. Master Zhang, still fuming with anger, pounded the floor with his cane as soon as he got home, pointing at his eldest son and daughter-in-law with a face full of indignation and fury:

”Explain, you tell me, didn’t you say that this Liang family boy is gentle, steady, and a good match? Is this what you call a good match? Such a person deserves to be called a good match?! You are parents yourselves, ask yourselves honestly, if Zhang You grows up, are you going to find her such a ’good match’ as well, huh?!”

Master Zhang’s words of reproach made Uncle Zhang’s face flush crimson.

Zhang You is his youngest daughter, just eighteen years old. When Master Zhang questioned him, Uncle Zhang couldn’t help but relate today’s events with Zhang You. Just from a slight role reversal, Uncle Zhang didn’t dare think further.

If Zhang You’s future fiancé were someone like Liang Jinghong, gallivanting outside and causing a scene at the engagement with a pregnant woman, he would definitely break that man’s leg!

But Auntie Zhang, on the other hand, was indifferent: ”Dad, it’s a different era now. Aren’t all the rich young masters flirtatious, stirring trouble with pretty girls outside? Do you really think that the girl who caused a scene today is any good? Such a disgraceful person can’t threaten Zhang Shuang’s position. Once she’s engaged to the Liang Family, who can take her place away? What’s wrong with marrying into the Liang Family? Liang Jinghong is their only heir; wouldn’t the Liang Family’s assets belong to Shuang and her children in the future? We are counting on Shuang to support our old Zhang Family in the future!”

Master Zhang was even more enraged hearing Auntie Zhang’s words: ”What do you know?! Support our family, you mean to support your son! You think I don’t know your intentions; you want to sell Shuang to benefit your son, calculating meticulously! If your son is truly capable, let him not rely on the family siblings. Such wealth, at a lifelong cost, have you asked Shuang’s opinion? If it’s as wonderful as you say, why don’t you let your own daughter marry into such alliances?!”

Auntie Zhang’s face turned alternately green and white, stammering: ”I am really doing it for the big family’s good. If I had a twenty-something-year-old daughter, I would definitely let her go. But Zhang You is still young.”

”Humph, eighteen isn’t that young. If you’re really willing, I’ll go talk to the Liang Family; let that Liang boy wait another two years, and arrange the engagement first, then marry when Zhang You reaches the legal age. It’s not unusual for prominent clans’ young ladies to be engaged at seventeen or eighteen!”

Master Zhang sarcastically looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, directly pinpointing this flimsy excuse.

Auntie Zhang’s face immediately turned pale, not daring to speak recklessly anymore.

As Master Zhang was speaking, unexpectedly, downstairs Zhang You suddenly ran up excitedly, shouting to everyone in the study: ”Grandpa, Dad, someone has come to propose to Sister Shuang!”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang was so angry his beard bristled, and his cane thudded against the floor, making a thunderous sound:

”Does the Liang Family have no shame? Such a fiasco today, embarrassing our Zhang Family, and they dare come back? Zhang You, tell Uncle Feng not to hold back; throw them out directly!”

Hearing the old man’s words, Zhang You knew he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained: ”No, Grandpa, you’re mistaken; it’s not the Liang Family, it’s the Song Family!”

”The Song Family, which Song Family?” Master Zhang was stunned, even Uncle Zhang and Auntie Zhang exchanged bewildered looks.

With a tone of absolute certainty, Zhang You said, ”The Song Family from the Imperial Capital, which other Song Family could it be!”

Auntie Zhang laughed upon hearing this: ”Zhang You, stop joking. What kind of family is the Song Family, how could they notice your cousin? Did someone trick you?”

Seeing her mother not believing, Zhang You became anxious: ”Mom, I’m really not joking, I’ve brought them to the living room. It’s really someone from the Song Family. I haven’t seen that person before, but Grandpa definitely knows them. They are waiting downstairs!”

After hearing this, Master Zhang, skeptical, walked out of the study and looked downstairs from the corridor. Sure enough, he saw a young man sitting on the couch in the living room. Hearing the commotion, the person downstairs looked up, and upon seeing his face, Master Zhang burst into a smile.

Hey, it really is a kid from the Song Family!

Thinking that Zhang You said this kid came to propose to his eldest granddaughter, Master Zhang felt strange, wondering how Zhang Shuang, who had not been back from abroad for long and had been busy at the police station, ended up connected to a Song Family member.

However, with the arrival of the Song Family’s kid, Master Zhang’s emotions, previously irked by the Liang Family, instantly eased, rejuvenating his spirits.

He always said his granddaughter was top-notch and would surely find a good family. Look, just a few hours after breaking off the engagement, someone came knocking, and the Song Family had several social levels above the Liang Family. Compared to Liang Jinghong, Master Zhang now saw everyone as more suitable.

However, being experienced, Master Zhang knew the girl’s family must show the right attitude and not be too eager in such matters, or they’d be looked down upon. So, he didn’t rush to go down and intentionally delayed for a few minutes before leisurely coming downstairs.

”Ahem.” With a couple of light coughs, Master Zhang settled into his Taishi Chair, his gaze openly scrutinizing Song Hui for a good two minutes until Song Hui felt a bit uneasy. Only then did Master Zhang speak, ”I heard you’ve come to propose?”
