PERFECT LOVE - Season 25 Episode 28

Following Yi Lingjun’s words, the room turned quiet.

Everyone knew Yi Lingjun intended to revise this rule. If they opposed, wouldn’t that be the same as singing a different tune from him…

Moreover, even if they put aside the matter of offending the President and Director Si, this rule alone contained many unreasonable flaws.

“Heh, President Yi, as you said, this is a law passed down from ancient times. Ancient times are ancient times, and modern times are modern times. What era are we in now? I think that we should revise such an inhumane law—no, we should abolish it,” a director responded with a light chuckle.

“Yes, Director Zhou is right. People in ancient times would say that a person’s marriage is dictated by their parents, but what era are we in now? Who doesn’t know that people are free to marry and love whoever they want? Isn’t it strange to use such an antiquated rule to restrict young people’s romantic lives? I think that this law should be abolished or else we’ll eventually have a big problem on our hands!”

Amongst the 12 directors present, including Si Yehan, 11 directors agreed to abolish this rule, leaving Yin Yuerong the only one who hadn’t spoken yet.

However, if they wanted to abolish a law, it had to be passed unanimously without a single objection.

“So what does Director Yin think?” Yi Lingjun asked as he turned to Yin Yuerong some time later.

Everyone’s gazes landed on Yin Yuerong.

Who didn’t know the relationship between Si Yehan and his mother was akin to fire and water? Si Yehan fully supported the abolishment of this law, and the debate was initiated by Si Yehan. How could Yin Yuerong pass this rule? It was absolutely impossible.

Ye Wanwan’s heart also raised to her throat. She hoped a miracle would happen.

“Apologies, but I don’t agree,” Yin Yuerong expressionlessly said, looking at Yi Lingjun.

Si Yehan deeply furrowed his eyes. “Director Yin…”

“Director Si, I hope you won’t interrupt when I’m speaking,” Yin Yuerong coldly rebuked.

Then, Yin Yuerong turned back to Yi Lingjun and continued: “If it exists, then there’s a reason for it. I won’t doubt our ancestors’ wisdom, so I don’t agree.”

Disappointment filled Ye Wanwan. However, even if it didn’t pass this year, there was still next year… If they put more work into it, perhaps they could change Yin Yuerong’s mind.

She merely hoped Elder Brother wouldn’t be so impulsive again. His relationship with Ling Miao would definitely have a good ending.

“Alright, let’s vote to decide then, everyone,” Yi Lingjun finally said.

Everyone was at a loss for words. Yin Yuerong’s attitude was crystal clear, so continuing to vote was superfluous.

However, they still had to follow the process. 11 directors voted in favor.

“Where’s your vote, Director Yin?” Yi Lingjun inquired when he saw that Yin Yuerong didn’t move.

“I won’t vote this year,” Yin Yuerong replied.

“Won’t vote…? What do you mean?” Yi Lingjun was bewildered.

“I’m abstaining,” Yin Yuerong said expressionlessly.

Everyone, including Si Yehan and Ye Wanwan, was startled. She was abstaining?!

“Don’t you object to this?” Yi Lingjun was astonished.

“Is there a definite connection between me objecting and abstaining?” Yin Yuerong retorted.

“No, no! There aren’t any connections!” Yi Lingjun smiled. “Alright, since Director Yin is abstaining, this means we’ve passed unanimously. After the hearing adjourns, please abolish this law prohibiting marriage with an outsider, Director Zhou.”

“Understood,” Director Zhou answered.
