Liu Changying turned his gaze to Liu Ruoxin, and then he suddenly reached out and patted Liu Ruoxin's shoulder.

"Ruoxin, from now on, you are Chu Tian's fiancée." Liu Changying's words were full of command and coercion.

Liu Ruoxin was stunned, and her face instantly turned ugly.

She couldn't accept such coercion; Qin Ze was the only one in her heart, and she didn't want anyone to control her feelings.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tian was overjoyed. He knelt down and said excitedly, "Thank you, Grandpa! I will definitely treat Liu Ruoxin well and live up to your expectations!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Changying's face as he looked at Chu Tian, ​​feeling quite pleased.

Chu Tian stood up, walked to Liu Ruoxin, and reached out to take her hand.

However, just as his hand was about to touch Liu Ruoxin, she suddenly shook off his hand, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust.

"Chu Tian, ​​don't touch me!" Liu Ruoxin's voice was resolute, and her face turned cold and ruthless.

Chu Tian was stunned. He looked at Liu Ruoxin in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that she would treat him like this.

"I am already Qin Ze's woman, we can never be together!" Liu Ruoxin's words revealed unwavering determination and disdain.

Liu Changying was also stunned; he hadn't expected Liu Ruoxin to react this way.

When Liu Changying heard Liu Ruoxin say that she was already Qin Ze's woman, anger surged within him.

His gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Liu Ruoxin's retreating figure, as if he wanted to knock her to the ground.

He felt his plans had been completely disrupted, and his anger was almost uncontrollable.

Chu Tian was also furious. He had originally thought he could become Liu Ruoxin's man, but now he heard her admit that she was already Qin Ze's woman.

His face turned ashen, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

He glared at Liu Ruoxin, his hatred almost overflowing.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense. Liu Changying gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Ruoxin, you have some nerve! You actually dare to defy my wishes!"

Facing Liu Changying's angry glare, Liu Ruoxin said firmly, "Grandpa, I will not let your wishes dictate my life choices. I am already Qin Ze's woman, and I will stick to my decision."

Liu Changying's face darkened further, his anger now impossible to conceal: "Don't forget, you are the heir of the Liu family, your responsibility is to live for the family's honor! If you choose to insist on going down the wrong path, don't blame me for disowning you as my granddaughter!"

Liu Ruoxin's lips curled into a cold smile: "From childhood to adulthood, I have always lived according to your wishes. Now, I only want to pursue my own happiness, not be bound by your will."

Chu Tian stood aside, listening to this conversation, his heart filled with jealousy and hatred.

He wanted nothing more than to tear Qin Ze to pieces. His cold gaze swept over Liu Ruoxin, while inwardly he kept mocking Qin Ze's good fortune.

Seeing that Liu Ruoxin was determined to be with Qin Ze, Liu Changying's anger burned even brighter.

He glared at Liu Ruoxin, gritting his teeth as he said, "Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!"

He turned and walked toward Liu Ruoxin's father, saying sternly, "Lock Liu Ruoxin in the family compound and forbid her from leaving! Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the family compound even for a moment."

Liu Ruoxin's father hesitated, glancing at Liu Ruoxin with a sense of helplessness.

He knew his father's temperament; once he made up his mind, it was hard to change it.

Liu Ruoxin's father tried to plead for her. He walked to Liu Changying's side and said softly, "Father, please have mercy and let her leave."

However, Liu Changying remained unmoved. He glared coldly at Liu Ruoxin's father, signaling him to shut up.

Liu Ruoxin's father could only sigh and helplessly pull Liu Ruoxin back into the family compound.

Liu Ruoxin felt heavy-hearted, knowing that even her father couldn't change Liu Changying's decision.

She decided to fight back, pleading with her father, "Dad, please, let me go. I really want to pursue my own happiness."

Liu Ruoxin's father shook his head and said bitterly, "Ruoxin, you know Grandpa's temper. There's nothing I can do about it."

Liu Ruoxin lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart heavy.

Liu Ruoxin was extremely anxious. She wanted to tell Qin Ze about her situation, but her phone had just been confiscated.

She looked helplessly out the window; it was pitch black, and she couldn't contact the outside world. She knew she had been forced into confinement within her family compound and would likely be unable to escape anytime soon.

On the other side, Liu Changying looked at Chu Tian and sighed.

He knew that Liu Ruoxin's matter had put Chu Tian in an awkward and embarrassing situation. Although he was angry, he also understood that Chu Tian was even angrier at this moment.

He said to Chu Tian, ​​"Chu Tian, ​​I am sorry for what happened to Liu Ruoxin."

Chu Tian nodded silently; he could see Liu Changying's guilt and helplessness.

Although Liu Changying was angry about Liu Ruoxin's choice, he also understood that it was Liu Ruoxin's feelings that he could not force or control.

He thought of Chu Tian, ​​this outstanding young man. He had an agreement with Chu Tian's master that Chu Tian would marry into the Liu family and inherit the Liu family business.

With Chu Tian's support, the Liu family will take another step forward!

Therefore, this is why he repeatedly protected Chu Tian and wanted Liu Ruoxin to be with Chu Tian.

Chu Tian felt extremely frustrated.

When Chu Tian learned that Liu Ruoxin had given herself to Qin Ze, his anger flared instantly.
