“Wenbin and Qingling, it’s because our Xuejiao is immature and doesn’t deserve Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing has already done enough for our Xuejiao. It’s only natural that he’s tired and wants to give up now. We don’t blame him.”

Tong Xuejiao heard her mother's voice clearly.

For a moment, Tong Xuejiao felt as if she had been hit hard, and a dull pain shot through her heart.

However, she immediately gave a mocking laugh.

Is this what Yan Heqing meant when he said he would let her see his true feelings?

He was nothing more than a watchdog outside her house for less than three months, and he didn't do anything substantial for her, yet everyone was on his side.

Yan Heqing not only lacks sincerity, but also possesses a wealth of cunning.

It's best to stay away from a scoundrel like that, and ideally never have anything to do with him again.

"Yingjing, in the end, it was Heqing who was irresponsible and let Xuejiao down."

We, the elderly couple, apologize to you on behalf of He Qing, and also to Xue Jiao.

But no matter what happens in the future, Pretty will always be our beloved granddaughter, and everything in the Yan family will have a share in Pretty's possessions.

Yan Wenbin solemnly promised the parents of the child.

After that, Tong's parents exchanged some polite words.

Yan Wenbin and his wife played with the little girl for a while longer before saying goodbye to Tong's parents and leaving.

As soon as they left, Tong's mother called up the stairs, "Come down, your Uncle Yan and Auntie are gone."

Tong Xuejiao then adjusted her expression, putting on an indifferent look as she went downstairs. "Why would they come to our house for no reason?"

Tong's mother glanced at her daughter helplessly, "They are, after all, handsome grandparents. Can't they come and see their granddaughter if they want?"

"Mom, don't lie to me. Every day when you and Dad take Piaoliang out, it's either to their house or they take her out to play together. They see her every day, so what are you thinking!"

Just tell me directly, what brought them here today?

The tone his parents used when speaking to Yan Heqing's parents was far too polite. If nothing had happened, given their decades-long friendship, they wouldn't have spoken so politely.

At this moment, Tong's father sighed and pushed a bright red invitation card from the coffee table in front of Tong Xuejiao. "He Qing is getting engaged. Your Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan are here to deliver the invitation."

When Tong Xuejiao saw the invitation, she felt as if her heart sank.

She overheard her parents' conversation with Yan Heqing's parents and assumed that Yan Heqing had given up on her.

I didn't expect him to get engaged so quickly.

Just a moment later, she suppressed her emotions, forced a smile, and said sarcastically, "Yan Heqing is fast enough!"

He was acting as a doorman at our front gate yesterday, and today he's getting engaged.

"Mom and Dad, I told you before that Yan Heqing was an unreliable man, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me!"

"If he hadn't been two-timing other women while he was staying at our house, how could someone have gotten engaged to him so quickly?"

Tong Xuejiao suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and deliberately spoke to her parents in a somewhat smug tone.

Tong's father frowned and said sternly, "Jiaojiao! We don't blame you for not liking He Qing and refusing to date him."

But if you keep making up stories like this and ruining He Qing's reputation, even if your Uncle and Aunt Yan don't pursue the matter, Dad will still teach you a lesson, do you understand?

Tong Xuejiao pouted, unwilling and resentful, but still obediently replied, "I understand."

As she responded, her peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of the invitation on the coffee table again.

While feeling uncomfortable, I couldn't help but curse Yan Heqing as a hypocrite.

Tong's mother probably didn't want Tong Xuejiao to misunderstand Yan Heqing, so she explained to Tong Xuejiao at this time: "Yan Heqing really didn't flirt with other female comrades when he was pursuing you."

This woman had been pursuing him, and He Qing was also facing some business troubles. This woman had some connections and could help He Qing solve the problems.

You refused to agree to He Qing's request no matter what, and only then did He Qing agree.

"Tsk tsk..." Tong Xuejiao couldn't help but scoff, "Sacrificing his looks for his career, Yan Heqing's sacrifice is really too great."

When Tong's father heard her words, his face turned ashen.

Tong Xuejiao, oblivious to her parents' expressions, picked up her car keys and headed out.

Tong's mother quickly called out to her, "Daughter, where are you going? You mustn't go and cause trouble for He Qing!"

Tong Xuejiao looked at her mother helplessly, "Mom, don't you understand your own daughter? Am I that kind of person?"

"I'm going to the company, I'm off!" Tong Xuejiao turned around and kissed the little girl's tender face. "Little girl, be a good girl and stay at home with your grandparents. When Mommy comes back with lots and lots of big money, I'll buy you lots and lots of pretty dresses!"

After saying that, she casually twirled the keychain in her hand and went out the door.

After she walked out of the gate, Tong's father quickly and furtively followed her for a few steps.

He didn't return until he saw her car drive away.

The mother, holding the little girl, approached and asked, "Are you really gone?"

The father nodded. "He's really gone."

Tong's mother breathed a sigh of relief. "How was my acting? There weren't any flaws, right?"

The father stroked his chin, carefully reviewing the scene. "There shouldn't be any flaws. My acting was fine, right?"

The mother immediately gave the father a thumbs-up, giving him a positive evaluation: "No problem, you're fantastic!"

After saying that, he added with some concern, "I wonder if we're pushing our daughter like this, and she'll really realize how much she feels for Xiaoqing."

We must be careful not to push them further apart.

Speaking of this, the father also had some concerns.

He sighed and sat down on the sofa. "Given our daughter's personality, if she still has feelings for He Qing, our provocation will definitely be effective."

But if she truly doesn't have feelings for He Qing, then she'll only think of him as a scumbag, and she might even celebrate getting rid of him!

"But if she really doesn't have feelings for him, it's better to break it off sooner rather than later, so as not to ruin He Qing's life."

The mother nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

They're both getting on in years, and continuing this entanglement won't be good for either of them.

If there's really no fate between us, it's better to cut ties quickly and end it sooner rather than later!
