"Brother Shen?" Old Master Ouyang looked at Shen's father with a forced smile.

Every gem merchant who has been to Myanmar knows this mysterious Master Xue.

Even if we've never met, we've definitely heard of each other.

The patriarch of the Ouyang family had gambled on stones in Myanmar for many years, so he naturally knew of this formidable Master Xue. Although he was so angry at this man's tone that he trembled slightly, he was a shrewd old man after all, and he didn't show any displeasure towards Xue Xuan. He only glanced at Shen's father, whose fair face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with suspicion.

He naturally saw Xue Xuan and Shen Wangshu's clasped hands, and a chill ran down his spine. He was worried that Shen's father was offering up his daughter in exchange for Xue Xuan's gemstone.

"Let's break off the engagement." What else could Shen's father say? He sighed and said coldly.

Seeing the suspicious look in Old Master Ouyang's eyes, Shen's father knew he was in deep trouble.

Even if he goes around shouting into a megaphone that he has nothing to do with Master Xue, it would be a miracle if anyone believed him.

In a daze, even Shen's father felt that he himself was starting to doubt his own family's innocence.

"Hehe..." Old Master Ouyang couldn't say anything, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

He tried to wink at the distraught Ouyang Yu, urging him to say something nice, but instead, he saw his usually clever grandson looking at Xue Xuan with a shocked expression.

Ouyang Yu was just a grandson and had not yet taken over the reins of the company, so he did not know much about Xue Xuan. However, even if he did not know much about him, it was still quite remarkable that someone who coveted his fiancée and dared to act arrogantly and tell him to get lost was someone who would attract attention.

Ouyang Yujun's handsome face showed a hint of confusion, and his eyes were filled with melancholy as he looked at Shen Wangshu. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Shuya, even if you're going to take revenge on me, please don't ruin yourself!"

It must be because his affectionate display of affection with Gao Wanning had hurt his fiancée that she was using a stranger to spite him. Ouyang Yu was a kind person; even though he had no feelings for Shen Shuya, he couldn't bear to see her wallow in self-pity, so he earnestly advised her, "You have a bright future ahead of you! I know I've wronged you..."

"Wait a minute." Shen Wangshu's ears hurt from hearing this, so she waved her hand.

Ouyang Yu continued to look at Shen Wangshu with a melancholy gaze.

"This young couple is bickering and arguing, it's gotten a bit too intense, but what young couple doesn't argue? Let's not get involved." Old Master Ouyang was seething with anger, watching Shen's Jewelry slip away like that, he wished he could beat his good-for-nothing grandson to death a thousand times over. However, although he was worried about Master Xue's prestige, this was S City after all, not Myanmar.

He calmed himself down, then stroked his graying beard and smiled at Shen's father, saying, "This old man is just taking advantage of his age to ask Brother Shen for a favor. Let's not get involved in these two children's affairs."

He calmed himself down, a faint coldness appearing on his face, and beckoned to Ouyang Yu, who shrank back slightly.

This handsome young man was no longer a child; he was dressed in a suit and had an elegant demeanor, yet he still seemed somewhat afraid in front of the old man.

He walked hesitantly to his grandfather's side, bent down, and called out, "Grandpa."

Old Master Ouyang smiled, but his expression changed instantly, and he slapped her hard across the face!

In his youth, he did manual labor. When he was making a living in Myanmar, he spent his days with jadeite rough stones. Even though he is old, how often does he not lock himself in the warehouse, moving those huge rough stones around and studying them?

Speaking of which, none of the younger generation in the Ouyang family were stronger than him. His hands were covered in rough calluses, and one slap from him made Ouyang Yu's ears ring and his vision go black. His face tilted and he staggered, barely able to catch his breath as he grabbed onto a tall vase from the Shen family. It was far more deadly than Shen Wangshu's slap. Seeing that his fair face was bleeding from the slap, Old Master Ouyang finally smiled at Shen's father.

This is the explanation given to the Shen family.

However, Shen Wangshu did not feel that was enough.

What is a slap in the face? Can it compare to the humiliation Ouyang Yu brought to the Shen family?

She looked indifferently at Ouyang Yu's shameful expression and said calmly to Old Master Ouyang, "Speaking of which, the term 'dissolving the engagement' is not appropriate."

Seeing the old man's spirits lift, she sneered inwardly, and slowly said, shaking the displeased Xue Xuan's hand, "I have no relationship with Ouyang Yu. If I were to marry a man just because I've had a few meals with him, then I'm afraid my marriage partners would be lined up all the way to Myanmar." She said calmly, "The engagement is just something the elders talk about, an intention, but there's no real engagement. Why make such a fuss?"

She acted as if she had nothing to do with Ouyang Yu, showing extreme coldness.

Old Master Ouyang's face darkened.

"So, Shuya really doesn't like my Xiaoyu anymore?" he asked slowly.

“I like Ah Xuan,” Shen Wangshu said frankly.

Xue Xuan, who was standing to the side with a gloomy face, staring intently at Ouyang Yu, had a slight, fleeting smile at the corner of his thin lips.

"In that case, I wish you all the best from now on."

"Dream on!" Old Master Ouyang cursed the ungrateful Shen Shuya a thousand times in his heart. He also knew that Xue Xuan had absolutely no interest in women; he'd rejected countless socialites and ladies. Right now, he seemed to like Shen Shuya, but what would she do if he abandoned her? Who would she complain to then? Or what if she angered Master Xue and implicated Shen's Jewelry? What good would that do then?
