Shi Guang scoffed coldly. “Indeed, a daughter’s genes come from her mother. I’m slandering you guys? Then what was your daughter apologizing to me previously for? If she hadn’t done anything wrong, why would she have to apologize hypocritically then?”

“That’s because…!”

Xu Yafeng wanted to continue lashing out, but Su Ya had already eyed Old Master Su and the 2nd Uncle of the Su Family—Su Qiudao—nearby.

Her face darkened as she held her hand out to restrain Xu Yafeng. “Mummy, don’t say anymore.”

Xu Yafeng realized that there was a crowd of people who had begun to gather. Even though most of the guests had already left, there were still quite a number of people, and their gazes were locked onto her dubiously.

It was only then that she realized she had gotten overly agitated at the wrong situation.

Looking at Old Master Su, she felt her heart dip down, and wanted to take back everything she had said.

Even if there was nothing particularly wrong about it, she was still extremely flustered, and tried adding on to prove her innocence. “… Stop bringing up nonsense! Let me warn you, you had better not accuse my daughter of falsehoods!”

“That wasn’t what you said in the past. And now, you’re pushing everything cleanly and accusing me of slandering her with falsehoods? Amazing! You must be thinking that because I have no evidence and my sister is missing right now, I’ve got no way of proving your crimes, right? But don’t worry, the Heavens are always watching! Bad people will always get their retribution, one way or another!”

Shi Guang left that and walked away with Xiao Bai.

“What is that person talking about? Ridiculous!” Xu Yafeng hollered out before looking at Old Master Su. She wanted to try explaining things to Old Master Su, but he asked nothing and did not seem interested in why they were arguing at all.

At the Su Residences’ Study room, Old Master Su looked at Qian Xun sternly. “Just what is going on with you and Shi Ze’s engagement? Shi Guang said that it was just a cooperation?”

Qian Xun looked at Old Master Su in shock and fell silent. After a long silence, she finally chuckled. “This is just an engagement. I felt that he’s quite an okay person and wanted to see if things could develop further between us. If not, it’ll be a marriage of connection without feelings.”

“You…!” Old Master Su felt his head spinning.

Marriage of convenience? It was exactly as Shi Guang had said!

“Have you gone foolish, child?” Old Master Su felt a sense of exasperation and a belly full of anger. He was extremely clear that it was his constant urging that had his daughter make such a foolish decision.

“Daddy, I’m sorry! I’m in the wrong!” Qian Xun lowered her head, her eyes reddening. “I merely thought that because I wasn’t getting any younger, it was about time I found someone to get married with. But, I really felt that Shi Ze was quite a decent person. And, because you also seemed to fancy him quite a bit, I decided to try and progress with it. After all, it’s just an engagement. If it doesn’t work out, we can back out of it.”

“Had I known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have asked you guys to get engaged.” Old Master Su’s face was dark. However, it did not seem as though he was mad at Qian Xun.

Fathers were always more indulgent toward their daughters.

He said in a resigned manner, “That child, Xiao Bai… Since he’s your biological son, find a day and ask that Lu Yanzhi out. Let’s sit down and see if we can work this out.”

Qian Xun’s body froze up immediately. “Daddy, I don’t think there’s a need for that! I don’t intend to get together with Lu Yanzhi!”
