Mu Yinjing completely lost her composure; she didn't know what was so good about Ye Xinning.

Over the years, she remained devoted to Huo Yanzhi. Before Ye Xinning married Shen Lin, she saw that Huo Yanzhi's heart and eyes were filled with nothing but Ye Xinning and he could not accept anyone else.

Later, Ye Xinning returned to Nancheng and insisted on marrying Shen Lin. Huo Yanzhi left Nancheng heartbroken, and she followed in his footsteps, ignoring her parents' objections and leaving Nancheng with him.

Later, he finally agreed to marry her.

She thought she had finally gotten over her suffering, but she didn't expect that he still cared so much about Ye Xinning, even showing concern for her in such a situation. Did he consider her feelings when he did this?

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to her.

Huo Yanzhi did not answer her question, but only said, "Go back."

Mu Yinjing suddenly roared, "I'm not going back, Huo Yanzhi! How much more do you want me to put up with? She's been married for so long, and what happened between you is long over. Why are you still so hung up on her? I just want to know, what's so great about Ye Xinning?"

Mu Yinjing kept asking questions, and Huo Yanzhi's gaze became frighteningly deep.

"I'm telling you to go back."

The Mu family members were also angry at Huo Yanzhi's attitude. "Yanzhi, how can you talk to Yinjing about such a small matter? You are a married couple. Don't let outsiders hurt your relationship."

Huo Yanzhi didn't say anything. He removed Mu Yinjing's arm and turned to walk upstairs.

Mu Yinjing stood there, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

He got so angry over such a trivial matter concerning Ye Xinning.

She, who was about to become his wife, probably didn't hold any place in his heart at all.

"Huo Yanzhi, if you dare to go upstairs like this, then let me tell you, it's completely over between us." She cried as she spoke to Huo Yanzhi's retreating figure.

Huo Yanzhi, who was going upstairs, stopped in his tracks when he heard this.

He turned his head and looked at Mu Yinjing.

"I have no objection to your decision to cancel the wedding. In that case, let's cancel it."

After he finished speaking, he took a step and his figure disappeared from sight.

Mu Yinjing, who was standing still, was struck dumb upon hearing these words.

She never expected that Huo Yanzhi would so casually retort to her words, and she was even more surprised that he would say he wanted to end their relationship with just one sentence.

Even though she only said those words in the heat of the moment, Mu Yinjing was on the verge of a breakdown.

Mu's parents angrily asked Huo Qijun, "What does Yanzhi mean? What does 'cancel' mean?"

Faced with this chaotic situation, Huo Qijun remained as calm as ever. He explained to the Mu family that they had spoken recklessly in anger.

"Don't worry, you two. I will talk to him properly. You should take Yin Jing back first and let them calm down before we talk."

Mu's parents were unhappy and didn't linger, leaving with Mu Yinjing.

After they left, Huo Qijun's gaze became complicated. He turned to look upstairs, lost in thought.

Ye Xinning and Shen Lin went to her bedroom.

In the bedroom, Shen Lin applied medicine to her hands. There were also burn marks near her wrists. Shen Lin's gaze fell on the bracelet. "Take the bracelet off. It's not good to apply medicine to it."

Ye Xinning exclaimed "Ah!" and lowered her head, but said, "It's not serious, you don't have to go."

Shen Lin stared into her eyes. She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the bracelet with that same complex expression.

Despite the burning rage in her heart, Shen Lin still refused to take off the bracelet.

"Do you really cherish this bracelet that much?"

"Hmm." This represents the real marks of her past, and it was the only comfort she could find during some of the most difficult times.

In Shen Lin's eyes, she seemed to like even a low-quality item so much. Did she like the low-quality bracelet itself, or the person who gave it to her?

Chen Lin was extremely agitated and threw the ointment he was holding onto the bed.

He got up and was about to walk outside when Shen Lin spoke up. Ye Xinning was about to ask him a question.

"It's about time; we should head back to the Shen family."

Ye Xinning was already used to his sudden mood swings.

Hasn't he always had this fickle personality?

She got up, ready to walk with him, but just as she reached the door, she ran into Ye Rouxin.

Ye Rouxin looked at her hand, "How is it? Have you applied any medicine?"

"Um."

Hearing that she was alright, Ye Rouxin lowered her voice and said, "That's good. Go back now, you must be tired after a long day."

Where is Mu Yinjing?

"They're gone."

"She just left like that? She really doesn't need to pay any price for her actions."

"The fact that the wedding was called off today is already a punishment for her."

Although Ye Rouxin was angry at Mu Yinjing's actions, she had to consider the Mu family's reputation and did not want Ye Xinning to make things too big.

"That's about enough. I know you're upset, but when it comes to business dealings with the Mu family, we should consider the bigger picture."

Ye Xinning knew this would be the outcome. She glanced at Shen Lin, as if to say, "Is this the explanation you predicted?"

Without saying a word, she walked past Ye Rouxin and was about to leave.

She knew she couldn't place any hope in Ye Rouxin; she would take revenge for herself.

Ye Rouxin grabbed her hand, but she shook it off. "I told you not to let me come. See, everyone is uncomfortable."

After saying that, Ye Xinning went downstairs.

Ye Rouxin stared at her departing figure and said to Shen Lin with a hint of helplessness, "She has a bad temper. Go back and try to persuade her more."

Shen Lin neither said yes nor no, but lazily said, "I don't understand how Mom handled this matter. Of course, you have your reasons, but I don't."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lin bowed slightly, turned around, and left.

Huo Yanzhi, who was standing in the corner, heard everything that happened.

His gaze was deep, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

He turned and went to the study. A moment later, the study door was opened from the outside.

He looked up and saw that Huo Qijun looked unwell and walked straight up to him.

"So, you've gotten what you wanted after all this commotion?"

Huo Yanzhi asked absentmindedly, "What did I do wrong?"

"Do you think I don't know what you're planning tonight?"

Huo Yanzhi chuckled softly, appearing remarkably calm compared to Huo Qijun's fury.

"Really? Then tell me, brother, what am I planning?"

“You deliberately served food to Ye Xinning in front of so many people. You know that Mu Yinjing cares a lot about your attitude towards Ye Xinning. You did this just to make her angry. Mu Yinjing is irrational. As long as she makes things difficult for Ye Xinning at the dinner table, Ye Xinning’s mother will not stand idly by. Then you will have an excuse to cancel the wedding.”
