Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the living room of the Su family mansion.
After a short silence, Su Xueqin said, “Since there are no other outsiders here, I have a few words that I want to say about the engagement between these two youngsters.”
“Uncle, please go ahead.” Xing Guozhi was filled with respect for Su Xueqin. Although the old master had already retired a long time ago, he was still a master in his profession and very well-known in the industry.
“Xing Yuyun and Wanwan’s marriage had already been set two years ago, but he betrayed my granddaughter and let her down. Although Wanwan is very magnanimous and does not mind, I believe that the Xing family still owes Wanwan an explanation.”
“Uncle, you are right.” Xing Guozhi sighed heavily then said, “At the end of the day, Yuyun is indeed in the wrong when it comes to this matter. As his father, it seems I have failed to educate and discipline him properly.”
Huo Qinyu also spoke up: “Yuyun’s handling of this matter after the incident was very inappropriate, and Guozhi and I have taught him a lesson for it. Since both sides of the family are here today, then as his mother, I would also like to apologize. Wanwan, I am really sorry that you were wronged and suffered an injustice.”
Su Wanwan did not say anything.
Su Xueqin did not seem to be satisfied either and he simply snorted as he looked at Xing Yuyun.
Huo Qinyu hurriedly nudged her son and urged, “Yuyun, why don’t you say something?”
Xing Yuyun did not speak or move at all.
“What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied?” Su Xueqin sneered, “Young brat, let me tell you something. If it weren’t for Wanwan saying that she did not like you and did not care about whether you cheated on her, I would not have allowed you to step through the door of the Su family mansion at all! The only reason I allowed you to enter our house today is because of Wanwan, and yet you still dare to behave so arrogantly?!”
There was still no response from Xing Yuyun.
Su Xueqin’s glare was icy, and the veins on the back of his hands stood out as he clenched his fists. It was obvious that he was furious.
Xing Yuyun’s parents quickly tried to persuade their son: “Yuyun! Hurry up and say something!”
“Didn’t you hear what Grandpa Su had just said?”
“Yuyun…”
“Forget it, Grandpa.” A demure voice suddenly sounded. Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smile as she said softly, “It does not matter whether he wants to apologize or not, since he has already cheated on me. How can he possibly take that back and undo everything that he has done?”
Su Xueqin looked at her unhappily. “Wanwan…”
“Although Xing Yuyun and I will not end up becoming husband and wife, isn’t my younger sister still in the picture? Since she likes this brother-in-law of hers so much that she is willing to take someone else’s second-hand goods, then why shouldn’t we help their romance have a happy ending? Besides, our engagement was only known to our own family members. We did not hold a press conference or anything to make it public, so we can just pretend that it never happened. It is so embarrassing to keep apologizing. How can I possibly get along with my future brother-in-law then? However, if you are really afraid that someone might spread rumors, then why don’t we do this instead?”
Su Wanwan tilted her head as she gazed coldly at Xing Yuyun, stating clearly, “Xing Yuyun, you could just say that I have a cleanliness disorder, and I felt you were dirty so I decided to dump you. How about that?”
Huo Qinyu initially had an amicable expression on her face, but the more she heard Su Wanwan’s words, the more she felt as though something was wrong. She could no longer control her expression at Su Wanwan’s suggestion.
Xing Yuyun was her son. Although he made a mistake that any man could commit, getting ridiculed in public by a young girl who rejected him would be a slap on her face!
Su Yanyan could not help but say, “Su Wanwan, don’t go too far-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Yi grabbed her arm.
Su Wanwan simply stared at Su Yanyan, the smugness on her face making Su Yanyan bite her lip hard.
“It is my fault.” Xing Yuyun suddenly spoke.
He stood up and bowed deeply in front of everyone as he said, “All of this is because of me. It’s all my fault, and I am sorry.”
Xing Yuyun seemed sincere, so Su Xueqin could only sigh as he said, “Back then, the reason why I chose you as my future grandson-in-law was not only because of your father, but because of your character. However, it now seems as though I read your character wrongly.”
Huo Qinyu quickly tried to smooth things over. “It is good enough that you know you were in the wrong. Yuyun, your engagement banquet with Yanyan will be held on the 20th. Remember to treat her well in the future-”
“There will be no engagement banquet.”
As soon as Xing Yuyun said those words, the atmosphere in the living became tense.
