Inside the living room of the Su family residence.

After a brief silence, the elderly voice of Su Xueqin rang out, “Now that we’re amongst family, I have a few words to say about this engagement matter with the younger generation.”

“Uncle Su, please speak.” Xing Guozhi held great respect for Su Xueqin. Although the old man had long since retired, he was still his mentor and highly respected in the industry.

“The engagement of Xing Yuyun and Wanwan was fixed two years ago, and his betrayal of my granddaughter is an undeniable fact now. Even though Wanwan has shown great magnanimity and claimed she doesn’t care, the Xing family must give her an explanation.”

“Uncle, you’re absolutely right,” Xing Guozhi sighed heavily, “This issue does indeed originate from Yuyun’s wrongdoing. It’s a failure of my parenting.”

Huo Qinyu also added, “After the incident, Yuyun’s handling of the matter was utterly inappropriate. Guozhi and I have already disciplined him. Today, since both families are here, I, as his mother, would like to apologize on his behalf. Wanwan, I’m sorry for the trouble you’ve had to endure.”

Su Wanwan did not respond.

Seemingly unsatisfied, Su Xueqin gave a cold hum and glanced at Xing Yuyun.

Huo Qinyu hastily urged her son, “Yuyun, say something.”

Xing Yuyun remained unresponsive.

“What, not willing?” Su Xueqin sneered, “Listen, boy, had Wanwan not claimed that she simply doesn’t like you, nor cares about your infidelity, I wouldn’t have allowed you to set foot in our house today! I gave you a chance for her sake, yet you dare to act arrogant here?”

Xing Yuyun still had no reaction.

How could Su Xueqin save face in this situation?

His sharp eyes filled with cold, icy anger. The veins on the back of his hand twitching, indicative of his rising fury.

Yuyun’s parents hurriedly began to persuade him:

“Yuyun, please say something.”

“Didn’t you hear what Grandpa Su said?”

“Yuyun…”

“Let it be, Grandpa.” A languid, soft female voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan curved her lips in an ambiguous smile, saying, “Does it matter whether he apologizes or not? After all, he’s already cheated. Can we have him take back his leg now?”

Su Xueqin turned to her, “Wanwan…”

“Although Xing Yuyun and I can’t become husband and wife, isn’t my sister still here? Since she likes her brother-in-law so much and is willing to take him on, why not go along and fulfill their wishes? Besides, only the two families know about our engagement. It’s not like we held a press conference or anything. So why not just pretend it never happened? Making apologies back and forth just creates awkwardness. How am I supposed to get along with my brother-in-law in the future? If there’s concern about idle chatter, let’s handle it like this.”

Su Wanwan tilted her head, gazing at Xing Yuyun from the corners of her eyes and speaking slowly, word by word, “Xing Yuyun, why don’t you say that I’m a clean freak and that I found you dirty? So, isn’t it better to say that I was the one who dumped you first?”

At first, Huo Qinyu’s expression remained fairly composed. However, as she listened further, she realized something was off. When she heard those final words, her expression could no longer hide her distress.

Xing Yuyun was her son. Yes, he had made a mistake that many men made. But to be publicly ridiculed and scorned by a young girl, to be depicted as a man whom she had discarded out of disgust…

This was an outright slap in her face!

Su Yanyan couldn’t stand it either, “Su Wanwan, you are going too far…”

Before she could finish, she was forcefully silenced by Jiang Yi.

Su Wanwan turned a cold eye toward her, bearing a triumphant grin that almost caused Yanyan to bite through her lip.

“It was my fault.” Finally, amidst the tense atmosphere, Xing Yuyun began to speak.

He stood up, deeply bowing to everyone present, “This entire situation is my fault. I’m sorry.”

Perhaps moved by his seemingly sincere attitude, Su Xueqin exhaled a long-held sigh, “The reason I chose you as my grandson-in-law was because of your father and your character. But it seems I was mistaken. My old eyes have failed me.”

Huo Qinyu hurridly tried to smooth things over, “Now that you understand your mistake, that’s good, Yuyun. The 20th is your engagement party with Yanyan. Remember to be good to her…”

“There is no engagement party.”

At Xing Yuyun’s response, the atmosphere in the living room, which had just calmed down, suddenly solidified once again..
