"Xiaoxue, are you going to help him too?" Xi's father glared angrily at Xi Xingxue.

Xi Xingxue shook her head: "Fighting won't solve anything, Dad, don't worry."

"How could we not be anxious? Shen Yu has torn a huge hole in the Xi family's heavens!"

Mr. Xi was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Thankfully, he didn't have any heart disease, otherwise he would have fainted.

Xi's mother quickly stopped him, shouting sternly, "Enough! Stop blaming Xiao Yu!"

Mr. Xi was shocked and looked at Mrs. Xi in disbelief.

At this moment, Xi's mother's face was extremely stern, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes added a touch of age, making her appear quite imposing.

She ignored the undisguised message in Xi's father's eyes: "You're not even joining in to teach this wretched son a lesson?"

She turned her head and looked at Shen Yu with a complicated and guilty expression.

"Xiao Yu, we're sorry, we owe you an apology!"

As soon as Xi's mother said this, the atmosphere in the room fell silent, and everyone looked up at Shen Yu's reaction.

Shen Yu showed no reaction, appearing indifferent and heartless towards Xi's parents, without being moved in the slightest.

Instead, he smiled slightly at Xi Xingxue's actions in protecting him and preventing Xi's father from making a move.

"I don't need your apologies anymore, I only have one request."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Xi's mother said, "Tell us, we'll agree to anything you ask."

Now that things have come to this, whether out of genuine concern or to save the Xi family's business, Xi's mother regrets it.

She regretted not immediately going to find Xi Xingxue when she vaguely sensed that her biological son was not her biological son and that he had been lost.

I also regret that after finding her, I didn't care about Shen Yu's feelings at all and didn't make amends in time.

Mr. Xi closed his eyes and fell into an eerie silence.

Until Shen Yu said calmly, "I need the Xi family and the Zhu family to dissolve the so-called engagement."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Xi were somewhat taken aback.

Only Xi Zhixu reacted most intensely and quickly.

The veins on his forehead suddenly bulged, and his face was so gloomy it could drip ink. He stared intently at Shen Yu's nonchalant face, his fingers clenched into fists, almost unable to resist punching him.

Biting my tongue, tasting a sting and the metallic flavor of blood, I finally regained some sense of reason.

In front of Xi's father and mother, Xi Zhixu still couldn't help but ask:

What is your purpose?

In truth, he knew what Shen Yu's purpose was.

However, he and Shen Yu shared the same thoughts, it's just that Shen Yu has the upper hand now.

However, he didn't want Shen Yu to succeed so easily; at the very least, he wanted to arouse suspicion from Xi's parents.

However, Xi Zhixu's goal ultimately failed.

Shen Yu didn't care at all that Xi's parents would see through his feelings for Xi Xingxue, and chuckled:

"Such a simple condition, do we really need to ask why? You just need to choose whether to agree or not."

After some thought, Mr. and Mrs. Xi realized that, indeed, this matter was not that difficult.

A marriage between the Xi and Zhu families could promote business exchanges; conversely, if not marrying could save the Xi family, it would also be worthwhile.

Although I don't know why Shen Yu chose this one.

Could it be that he has taken a liking to the Zhu family's daughter?

Thinking this through, Madam Xi quickly said, "Xiao Yu, we promise you. You've taken a liking to the Zhu family's daughter, haven't you? We can change your marriage partner to you; it's no problem."

After saying that, her gaze became fervent.

If this can make Shen Yu forgive them, it's not a bad choice.

Clearly, with the greatest interests at stake, Xi Xingxue's feelings are no longer important.

Shen Yu's expression turned disdainful and contemptuous: "Don't make wild guesses. Since you've agreed, that's enough. I won't touch the Xi family for the time being. You'd better watch yourselves."

After saying that, he stood up from the sofa, his gaze sweeping casually over their pale faces, and said leisurely, "I believe you can handle this matter."

That's right, Shen Yu simply doesn't intend to continue targeting the Xi family, but the Xi family still needs to overcome their current crisis on their own.

Mr. and Mrs. Xi looked very unhappy, but now they had managed to turn the tide slightly. There was nothing they could do; Shen Yu had too much leverage over the Xi family.

Moreover, he didn't treat them as family; in fact, he hated them. So, you can't play the emotional card with them.

After Shen Yu left, Xi's parents quickly grabbed Xi Xingxue's hands and said:

"Xiaoxue, it seems that Xiaoyu likes you the most right now. You must put in a good word for us. We will treat him well in the future."

Regret was mixed in Xi's mother's eyes, while Xi's father was not so willing, but he was a wise man to know when to yield.

Xi Xingxue said, "His heart is made of flesh and blood too, I believe in you."

Xi's mother was taken aback.

This sentence is a reminder...

Soon, the Xi family and the Zhu family went to negotiate the annulment of the engagement.

However, the Zhu family seemed to have anticipated this, and Zhu Yuan refused to agree no matter what, even offering to help the Xi family resolve this crisis.

Mr. Xi agreed to Zhu Yuan's plan, while Ms. Xi continued to insist on dissolving the engagement with the Zhu family...

Xi Zhixu was actually happy for Xi Xingxue to break off her engagement with the Zhu family's daughter, so he sided with Xi's mother.

The Xi family was extremely busy for the next few days.

The classes that needed to be attended still had to be attended, and Xi Xingxue and Shen Yu went to school together as usual.

However, their relationship is no longer the same as before, even though Shen Yu and Xi Xingxue are just innocent classmates on the surface.

But in the mainland, Shen Yu treated Xi Xingxue as his possession, and began to pay attention to and control everything about him...

Today he said that the way that boy looked at him was weird, and told him not to associate with him anymore.

The day after tomorrow, he said that this girl had confessed her feelings to him before and that he wanted to sever their friendship.

She even followed him to the toilet, inseparable from him.

Xi Xingxue was starting to feel overwhelmed.

Taking advantage of the moment when Shen Yu was standing at the toilet door with his back to smoking, he quietly moved and ran away.

Zhu Yuan missed school a couple of days ago because she was helping with the Xi family's affairs, but she came today, so the request to switch classes should have been approved by now.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Just as Xi Xingxue was about to escape, her clothes were suddenly tugged.

"Oh, you really think we can't see a living, breathing person like you?"

The boy's voice was arrogant and unruly, his tone mischievous and smiling.

It seems to be... that Jiang Yao?

How did he end up at this school?

"Let him go." Shen Yu casually threw his cigarette butt into the trash can, stepped over, and looked at Jiang Yao's hand that was grabbing Xi Xingxue's clothes.

Jiang Yao pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, why are you so stingy? I only touched his clothes."

Shen Yu glanced at him sideways: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yao: "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the rooftop and talk."

Xi Xingxue protested: "You two go catch up, don't worry about me."

Shen Yu's desire for control was too strong. He always felt that his life was filled with him 23 out of 24 hours a day.
