The engagement party had gone off in a chaotic manner. Pei Wenbin was in charge of cleaning up the mess, while Chen Yizhi and Lu Zhenghao were busy greeting the departing guests. Du Man sat with Lu Yunxi, waiting for the Pei family to give them an explanation after they left.

Lu Yunxi's attack was very heavy-handed, and Pei Chengyi and Shan Ying were still unconscious until the engagement party was over.

Seeing Lu Yunxi still sitting there, Shen Yizhi was furious. Pei Chengyi had finally gotten some attention from the old man, but after today's trouble, all his previous efforts were probably in vain.

Lu Yunxi denied it, but Shen Yizi was an experienced person and saw through this despicable trick at a glance.

Lu Yunxi shot herself in the foot!

She sighed deeply: "So many things have happened, everyone is tired. Cheng Yi is still not awake, everything will be discussed after he wakes up tomorrow, you should go back first!"

"Still not awake? How could that be? I'll go check it out." Lu Yunxi still wanted to see Pei Chengyi and hear him explain what was going on. As soon as she stood up, she was forced back down by Shen Yizhi.

"How long are you going to make such a fuss? Don't you think today's humiliation isn't enough? Didn't you see how ugly the old man's face was when he left? You're really a nobody, so petty that you're stupid enough to set up a scheme at your own engagement party. If you lose, you have to bear the grievance no matter how great it is. Lu Yunxi, this is all your own fault."

Shen Yizi had never thought highly of Lu Yunxi. Although she was her biological daughter, she had no skills at all and could not do anything. She could not help her son in any way and would only cause trouble.

Du Man didn't like what she said: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about! Yun Xi is also a victim. No one wants this to happen. How can you still say that to her?"

"Your Lu family didn't teach your daughter well, and I can't say that? If she wants to enter our house, she must abide by my rules. When she comes to the Pei family in the future, I will not tolerate her bad habits."

Chen Yizi snorted coldly, stopped looking at the annoying mother and daughter, and looked up at the building, with other thoughts in her mind.

After today, I wonder what Shan Ying's attitude will be. She was the one chosen by the old man for Tang Jingyuan. The Shan family is much stronger than the Lu family.

Du Man didn't know what Shen Yizi was thinking, and looked at Lu Yunxi with a worried look on his face.

She had heard before that Shen Yizi was sarcastic and mean, and seeing her scolding her daughter just now, Du Man was even more worried. If Yun Xi really married him, she was afraid that life would not be easy.

In the end, the Lu family returned home early. Lu Yunxi remained silent along the way.

As soon as she entered the door, she was about to go upstairs when Lu Zhenghao stopped her.

"Dad, I'm tired. I want to rest." Lu Yunxi was impatient. Right now, she didn't want to deal with anyone. She just wanted to go to bed early and see Pei Chengyi when she woke up. Tonight's matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.

"No matter how tired you are, just listen to me. Sit down!"

Lu Zhenghao had a cold face. No matter what the truth was, things had already happened. What they should consider now was what to do in the future.

"What happened between Shan Ying and Pei Chengyi is already a fact, and we must prepare for it. Tomorrow we may face two possibilities. First, the Shan family does not hold Pei Chengyi responsible. Then, Yun Xi and Pei Chengyi's engagement will not be a big problem. It all depends on what you think."

Du Man pulled Lu Yunxi aside and advised, "It's normal for a man to have other women outside. As long as he finally marries you and treats you well after marriage, that's enough. Just think of it as a casual affair that Pei Chengyi had. It's nothing!"

Lu Yunxi sneered and spoke lightly, but the only one who was really annoyed was herself.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Zhenghao told her the worst possible scenario.

"The worst-case scenario is that after Shan Ying wakes up, she'll ask Pei Chengyi to take responsibility for her. The Shan family is a jewelry family, and Shan Ying is a jewelry designer. If she asks, and after what happened tonight, Pei Chengyi won't be able to refuse. It's very likely that the engagement between you and Pei Chengyi will be annulled."

"No." Lu Yunxi stood up suddenly as if she had touched a reverse scale: "I must marry Pei Chengyi."

Lu Zhenghao sighed: "If you hadn't caused trouble tonight, everything would have gone smoothly. Who can you blame? There are so many men in the Pei family, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? If it really doesn't work, don't we still have Pei Yongsheng?"

Lu Yunxi's face turned pale: "Pei Yongsheng is a playboy and a loser. How can he be compared with Pei Chengyi!"

"Do you have the choice? You're lucky to be able to marry into the Pei family. If you despise me, even a loser like me won't want you. If the engagement with the Pei family is cancelled, who in Jiangcheng would dare to marry you?"

In Jiangcheng, there is no better choice than the Pei family.

Lu Zhenghao reminded Lu Yunxi sternly: "Take advantage of this moment. Since the Pei family has wronged the Lu family first, you still have room for choice. Pei Yongsheng is the eldest grandson after all. His status is there, no less than Pei Chengyi, the illegitimate child. We must be prepared for everything, do you understand?"

Lu Yunxi lost her temper after being told that by Lu Zhenghao, and murmured, "Shan Ying has her eyes on Tang Jingyuan, she won't marry Pei Chengyi."

She would never let Shan Ying marry Pei Chengyi!

That night, Lu Yunxi tossed and turned, but Lu Anning leaned on Tang Jingyuan's broad chest and slept well.

The next day, Lu Anning was awakened by a phone call from the Pei family's old house. The old man asked them to go back.

Lu An Ning guessed that it was probably about what happened at the engagement party. When they arrived at the old house, the old man specifically asked Lu An Ning to go to the study with him.

Tang Jingyuan stopped him: "If you have anything to say, say it here."

His attitude was not very good, and there was a hint of anger on the old man's face, but he finally suppressed it.

He said coldly: "Can I still eat her?"

As he spoke, he was looking at Lu Anning. Lu Anning understood what the old man meant, patted the back of Tang Jingyuan's hand twice, signaling him to be at ease, and followed the old man up the stairs.

The long corridor was filled with dull footsteps, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground matched the rhythm, making people feel suffocated.

The study door opened, and the old man walked in first. A cold voice came: "Come in!"
