Chapter 674: 184: Shangguan Furong Apologizes At The Doorway_6
In other words, she had enough confidence in herself.
She didn’t believe Zhao Shen would dare betray her!
“Okay. I’ll go now.” Zhao Shen rushed into the room, hoping to have coffee ready by the time Shangguan Furong sat on the sofa.
Seeing Shangguan Furong’s return, Grandma Zhao tactfully left the living room.
…
Although Ni Cuihua wasn’t planning to get married to Shangguan Dehui for now, they couldn’t keep dragging things on, so Grandma Shangguan spoke with Ni Chenggui to set up an engagement and make it public.
...
Ni Cuihua had no objections to this.
In China in the 1980s, getting engaged was also known as setting the commitment.
Setting the commitment wasn’t as formal as it would be in later years, all it required was a matchmaker and inviting family from both sides for a shared meal.
However, during the engagement, the wedding date needed to be agreed upon.
When Shangguan Furong heard about Shangguan Dehui’s engagement to Ni Cuihua, she was livid!
They had even set the date for the engagement without notifying her!
Did they even consider her anymore?
Shangguan Furong, angry, went to find Grandma Shangguan.
Grandma Shangguan said, “How can you expect others to respect you, if you don’t respect yourself?”
“Mother! Am I still your daughter?” Shangguan Furong confronted Grandma Shangguan.
Grandma Shangguan responded, “I should be the one asking you that. Do you even see me as your mother? You’re making a scene for no reason!”
Continuing, Grandma Shangguan said, “Also, you owe Yangyang an apology for what happened last time.”
“What?” Shangguan Furong couldn’t help but exclaim sharply, “You want me to apologize to her? Why should I apologize to her?”
Ni Yang was nothing more than an individual trader!
And she was the younger generation.
Shangguan Furong almost thought she was hallucinating.
Apologizing!
Grandma Shangguan was actually asking her to apologize!
“You messed things up so badly! Asking you to apologize is the least of it!” Grandma Shangguan continued, “I’m telling you today, if you continue to insist on your views, with no remorse, then I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter anymore. Leaves that to your own discretion!”
This time, Grandma Shangguan wouldn’t indulge Shangguan Furong any longer.
“Mother, do you realize what you’re saying?”
“Rest assured, even when I’m asleep, I’m more clear-headed than you.” Grandma Shangguan continued, “By the way, until you agree to apologize, please don’t call me mother! I don’t have a daughter like you.”
Grandma Shangguan kept a stern face, showing no signs of joking.
Shangguan Furong never thought that Grandma Shangguan would sever ties with her own daughter for a bunch of outsiders!
The room fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Shangguan Furong looked up at Grandma Shangguan and said, word by word, “Fine, I am willing to apologize!”
“You’re certain?” Grandma Shangguan raised her eyebrows to look at her.
“Yes!”
Shangguan Furong was no fool, she knew she could not lose the support of the Shangguan family.
If Grandma Shangguan were to truly not acknowledge her as a daughter, it would bring her no benefits.
