Chapter 8: The Show Begins!

The next day, when Shan Jianshe woke up, his head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode, and he couldn't remember anything that had happened the day before.

"Dad, you're awake? Quickly drink some hangover soup. There's breakfast I bought on the table; it'll make you feel better." Cen Yan came over with the hangover soup when she saw Shan Jianshe move.

"Why are you still here! Shouldn't you have gone back to the countryside with Zhiwei! Cen Yan! When are you going to grow up and stop making me worry so much!"

The first thing Shan Jianshe thought of was that Cen Yan had broken off the engagement, and he questioned her sternly.

Upon hearing this, Cen Yan nearly lost her balance and fell to the ground, her eyes red as she looked at Shan Jianshe.

"It's not that I don't want to go to the Hu family, it's that I can't find Hu Zhiwei. It seems he ran away from his wedding. Dad, I've never suffered such an injustice in my life. You must stand up for me!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Jianshe vehemently denied it: "Impossible! Zhiwei would never run away from his wedding, he is—"

Her words trailed off, and Cen Yan looked at him with teary eyes: "But what?"

"It's nothing!" He couldn't let Cen Yan know what he had instructed Hu Zhiwei to do.

But what is that brat Hu Zhiwei up to? It's already 3 pm, why hasn't he taken Cen Yan away yet?

Cen Yan gave an "oh" and asked listlessly, "Dad, will Aunt Hu know where Hu Zhiwei is? We must find Hu Zhiwei! If he's been jilted, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone. I might as well jump into the river and drown myself."

"Yes! Wait a moment, I'll go find your Aunt Hu!" Shan Jianshe stood up, but then noticed something was wrong. Why was the house empty? Had Hu Li'er acted ahead of time?

Thinking of the things he had left in the bedroom, Shan Jianshe, disregarding the furniture, hurriedly walked towards the bedroom. After a few steps to the door, he saw that the lock on the bedroom door was open.

"Did you do this?" Shan Jianshe looked at Cen Yan behind him and questioned her.

Cen Yan hurriedly waved her hands in a panic, "It wasn't me, Dad. You told me that I could go wherever I wanted in the whole house, except for your bedroom and study. I've always been very obedient."

“If it’s not you, then it can only be Li’er. She’s at home.” Shan Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief and pressed down on the doorknob.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, strange noises came from inside the bedroom.

Cen Yan looked completely bewildered: "Dad, what is Aunt Hu doing in the room? Why is she making such indecent noises?"

Dan Jianshe seemed not to hear Cen Yan's question. He was a man, and of course he knew what the sounds coming from the bedroom meant.

They also recognized the voice as belonging to Hulier.

But the important question is, whose voice is that of a man?

Dan Jianshe's face turned a deep, liver-like ashen.

He pushed open the door without a second thought and saw two figures crawling under the covers!

Boom—!

His reason vanished instantly, and Shan Jianshe rushed over, grabbed the woman on the bed, and began to attack her with both hands!

"You shameless woman! How dare you cheat on me!"

"Ah!!" Hulier cried out in pain, regaining her senses and quickly realizing what she was facing.

But before she could explain, Cen Yan rushed over and pulled back the covers, revealing another figure on the bed.

When she saw the man's familiar face, Cen Yan was filled with disbelief and gasped in surprise, covering her mouth.

"How could it be you! Hu Zhiwei! How could you do this to me?!"

Her words brought the other three people in the bedroom back to their senses, and they looked at each other in fear.

"You slut! You're disgusting! Are you that desperate for men? You even went after Hu Zhiwei!" Shan Jianshe's face was as ugly as could be, as if he had eaten shit.

Hu Lier shook her head in protest, "No, nothing happened between Zhiwei and me. I was just drunk last night, so... Oh! The alcohol! Cen Yan, there's something wrong with the alcohol you prepared!"

"Smack!"

Cen Yan finally had the chance to vent her pent-up resentment after years of suffering. She rushed up and slapped Hu Lier hard across the face!

“I drank last night too, and so did my dad! How come only you and Hu Zhiwei are involved? I'm getting my marriage certificate with Hu Zhiwei today, but you…”

"If you like Hu Zhiwei so much, then you can keep him. I, Cen Yan, have no trouble getting married!"

As the slap landed, Cen Yan curled her lips into a smile, but a desolate and sorrowful expression quickly masked her true emotions and thoughts.

Of course she knew that nothing had happened between Hu Lier and Hu Zhiwei. Even if he had the intention, Hu Zhiwei didn't have the ability to do so!

But who cares? As long as Shan Jianshe believes Hu Lier's infidelity and impurity, she has won!

Hu Zhiwei got angry, "You want to call off the wedding? On what grounds! My aunt and I didn't do anything!"

"Slap!" Cen Yan seemed to have gone mad, slapping Hu Zhiwei across the face. Still not satisfied, she picked up a stool next to her and smashed it against him.

Cen Yan shouted angrily: "Caught in the act, and you still dare to say you're innocent? What, Hu Zhiwei, are you a eunuch and don't have the tools to commit the crime?"
