The forced smile on Gu Qinghua's face was about to break.

As a result, his voice trembled a little.

Feeling guilty.

Shen Ruyi ignored him and just stared at the old lady of the Gu family. "Even if you are old and can't remember it, I think so many people here can hear it clearly."

"It is clearly written in the marriage certificate that Gu Qinghua and I can only be together for the rest of our lives and remain faithful to each other."

"But Gu Qinghua betrayed me and secretly married Shen Jiaojiao. The rest of your Gu family also chose to indulge him and did not propose marriage at my coming-of-age ceremony last year. Instead, you turned a blind eye and even acquiesced to Gu Qinghua marrying Shen Jiaojiao! A year has passed."

She had waited until today, ready to strike, without giving anyone a chance to breathe. She tore up the marriage certificate on the spot, scattered the pieces on the floor of Gu's house, and stepped on them.

"This is the gift I want to give to Old Lady Gu today! From now on, my engagement with Gu Qinghua is annulled, and I will have no further contact with your Gu family!"

"!"

The room was dead silent.

Then there was an outbreak of extremely surprised discussion.

"She, she's here to break off the engagement?"

"Oh my God, I heard before that Miss Shen's personality had changed drastically, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see her today, she really seems like a completely different person!"

"I don't know how the Gu family will deal with it."

"I'm so embarrassed today!"

"That's right. It's clearly written in the marriage certificate that we will get married after Shen Ruyi reaches the age of 15. But when Shen Ruyi held her 15-year-old ceremony a year ago, the second Miss Shen had already married, and no one mentioned this matter."

"Gu family, this doesn't mean you don't want to marry her."

"Otherwise there's no reason to delay it for a year!"

"Didn't you hear Shen Ruyi say that Gu Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao were secretly in love and that he was planning to marry Shen Jiaojiao? No wonder there were rumors of that before and there was a scene upstairs at Zuixin Building..."

The whole banquet went wild.

Old Madam Gu came back to her senses and was furious. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face. She grabbed the crutch beside her and smashed it on Shen Ruyi's head, screaming, "Bitch! How dare you! How dare you come to my birthday party and cause trouble!"

As he spoke, a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "puff" sound, and he fell down on the bed, and spat out two more mouthfuls of blood into his palm.

She felt like her body couldn't hold on any longer!

She stared at Shen Ruyi on the ground, trembling all over, her eyes bloodshot.

She really didn't expect that Shen Ruyi would slap her in the face like this at her birthday party!

She pointed at Shen Cangyun, her mouth full of blood and said: "Prime Minister! What do you mean today? Why did you indulge this little bitch to do such a humiliating thing to my family? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I will fight you!"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Her throat suddenly choked and Old Lady Gu choked out a large amount of blood.

She was so angry that when she saw that the cane failed to hit Shen Ruyi, she threw the teacup next to her at Shen Ruyi's face!

"Quick, call a doctor!"

The maidservant beside her screamed in fright.

Shen Cangyun hadn't even reacted yet. He was so shocked by the sudden outburst that his pupils trembled and his whole body stiffened.

When he realized what was happening, he was furious and turned around to slap him!

Before he could make a move, he saw a blue and white porcelain teacup flying towards Shen Ruyi and shattered into powder in an instant!

Rong Yan took action!

There was frost in his eyes and his gaze fell on Shen Cangyun's face.

Shen Cangyun had to retract his outstretched hand, and his heart turned cold as he looked at the porcelain powder on the ground.

Shen Ruyi looked at Rong Yan with gratitude.

If he hadn't just made a move, even if she could dodge the teacup, she couldn't avoid Shen Cangyun's slap. Even if she could dodge it, the wound on her shoulder would have been torn open.

Shen Cangyun came back to his senses, suppressed his anger and stared at Shen Ruyi and asked: "Ruyi, why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement? We have clearly agreed at home that we will not care about those things anymore. Marriage is a very important matter, and you can't be willful and make trouble. If you are no longer angry, apologize to Old Lady Gu as soon as possible."

His heart was trembling.

Before, when Shen Ruyi asked him for the marriage certificate, she even acted like a spoiled child.

For a moment, he even missed the scene before Shen Jiaojiao came in, when Shen Ruyi chased him everywhere, calling him "Daddy" all the time, but he didn't expect that it was all an illusion!

She wanted the marriage certificate, not to make Gu Qinghua apologize!

It’s to break off the engagement!

But can the marriage between the Shen family and the Gu family be cancelled just like that?

Shen Cangyun wanted to beat her to death.

But Rong Yan was sitting behind her, his eyes fixed on his face, as if he would destroy him if he dared to make a move.

Shen Cangyun held back a mouthful of black blood, which brewed in his throat, but he could only try to comfort Shen Ruyi.

"It's not my fault, why should I apologize?"

Shen Ruyi's eyes fell on his face. "Before, Shen Jiaojiao framed me and asked me to apologize. Shen Jiaojiao pretended to be pitiful and asked me to apologize. Shen Jiaojiao fell off the rockery and asked me to apologize. Shen Jiaojiao framed my nanny, and you made my nanny die."

"Now, even though Gu Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao betrayed me, you still asked me to apologize. So, in this world, all the mistakes, no matter who made them, were caused by me, right?"

Now that things have come to this, she will not give in any further.

Shen Cangyun was speechless when asked this question. He just wanted to kill someone.

Rong Yan's wheelchair moved another step forward.

Shen Cangyun's face turned the color of liver. He could only rely on his seniority to argue, "Let's put things in perspective. Tsinghua has already apologized to you. You shouldn't pursue it further..."

Before she finished her words, Shen Ruyi raised her hand and slapped Gu Qinghua in the face.

Before Gu Qinghua could react to the sudden change, he was suddenly slapped in the face and his eyes widened in anger.

But before he could say anything, Shen Ruyi said sorry to him.

"Shen Ruyi, you broke the engagement and trampled on my face, and now you dare to hit me?"

Shen Ruyi glanced at Shen Cangyun, with sarcasm in her eyes, "I have already apologized, one thing is one thing. According to the Prime Minister, shouldn't Master Gu be more generous?"

Shen Yuewan was furious, "Shen Ruyi, if an apology is useful, why bother with the law!"

"Oh, there is also the law. I am taught!"

Shen Ruyi smiled sarcastically.

Gu Qinghua finally realized what had happened. He stared at Shen Ruyi and said in a trembling voice, "Ruyi, why did you treat me like this? Even if I did something wrong, it's only been a short time. We have been childhood sweethearts for so many years..."

Shen Ruyi sneered, "The Prime Minister and Master Gu really asked some good questions. Both of you are scholars, one is a high-ranking official, and the other is at least the son of the Minister of Rites. How come you didn't understand a word of what I just said?"

"Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"

She had been patient for so many days, waiting for this moment.

At this moment, he was no longer as docile as usual, and his whole person was sharp. "Everyone has heard about the marriage agreement, but what about Master Gu? He couldn't walk after seeing Shen Jiaojiao. Not only did he postpone the wedding date, but he also secretly promised to spend his life with her, and hugged her in front of me in the mansion."

"The Gu family betrayed the engagement first, but now they're asking me why?"
