The crying was intermittent, filled with grievance and resentment.

In the hall, Su Chengyue's face was ashen.

He slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise startling Su Muyao.

"Cry! You still have the nerve to cry!"

Su Chengyue roared, "Su Muyao! You have disgraced me and the Su family today!"

He was panting heavily, pointing at her: "Using fake photos? You actually came up with such a despicable tactic!"

"Just to ruin your sister's wedding? What's going on in your head?!"

Su Muyao sobbed, her voice trembling, "I was wrong... Grandpa... I really know I was wrong..."

"I just... I just don't want to see her marry Huaiye-gege..."

"In no mood?"

Su Chengyue was almost laughing in anger. "Do you have a choice? This marriage with the Xie family is so important to us! How much benefit will the Su family gain after the marriage!"

"Then, you can use this connection to marry into a better wealthy family!"

"What's wrong with this? Tell me! What are you even doing?!"

He simply couldn't understand how his granddaughter could be so stupid.

Su Muyao just shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face.

Her grandfather had no idea what was going through her heart.

Seeing her daughter's state, Jiang Lan felt both distressed and anxious, and quickly stepped in to smooth things over:

"Dad, please calm down. Don't get upset and harm your health. Mu Yao is still young and doesn't understand. I'll talk to her properly later..."

Su Chengyue was furious and wouldn't listen to anything.

His cold gaze swept over Su Muyao's still-bruised face.

Her tone became even harsher: "Ignorant? I think she's stupid! Don't you understand what the situation is?"

"Most of the Su family's shares are in Yan Ning's hands! We might have to live at her mercy from now on!"

He took a step forward, his words piercing Su Muyao like knives:

"What you should be doing right now is begging her! Begging her to spare your life! Instead of causing trouble for me here!"
