Chapter 62 Cancellation of the Engagement
"Aunt Lin, I'm sorry." Momo's soft voice rang out in the room.
"I was driving."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at her. Ms. Lin saw that her head was also wrapped in thick gauze and couldn't bear to blame her anymore, but she still asked her the reason with a cold face.
"Momo, your driving skills are not bad, you're not a novice. How could you drive onto such a remote side road on such a flat main road?"
"I'm so sorry," Momo said to her again.
"Mom, stop talking. The whole thing happened because of me, it has nothing to do with Momo," Bian Xi said.
He calmed himself down, then said, "Also... we've decided to call off the engagement."
"..." The adults in the room were stunned when they heard this.
"What?" Mr. Bian exclaimed first, utterly incredulous. "Didn't you two go to get your marriage certificate today? What do you mean by saying this now?"
"What do you mean by canceling the engagement?" Hearing him say this, Bian's father couldn't help but feel angry.
Bian Xi glanced at Momo, wanting her to continue, but seeing her hesitant expression, he decided not to press her and said directly, "Because I... I made a mistake."
"What?" Ms. Lin exclaimed in shock, staring at him and asking, "What mistake did you make?"
Su He stared at Momo in surprise, while Momo pursed her lips tightly.
"Cheating." Momo managed to say those two words with difficulty. She caught Bian Xi's gaze; she couldn't let her carefully laid plans fall apart.
“I discovered his secret, and he confessed to it.” She said this almost as if her whole body was trembling.
"What?" The adults were stunned. Ms. Lin looked incredulous. "How is this possible?"
"Bian Xi, you two have such a good relationship, how could you..." Ms. Lin's arrogance was immediately dampened by Momo's words.
Su He also asked, "Bian Xi, is what Momo said true?"
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, Aunt Su, I'm sorry for letting you down, and I'm especially sorry to Momo." Bian Xi's face was filled with pain.
"Fortunately, we didn't get a marriage certificate..." Bian Xi lowered her head and didn't look at them, "Otherwise, I would really be a sinner, making Momo suffer from the moment she entered into marriage with me."
Seeing his appearance, Momo felt even more distressed.
At this moment, how she longed to tell the whole truth.
But she saw Bian Xi's determined gaze fixed on her.
"Who is that woman?" Ms. Lin asked angrily.
Bian Xi shook his head. "It's not important anymore."
"What doesn't matter? Are you still trying to hide something? Or are you trying to speak up for that woman?" Ms. Lin was extremely conflicted at this moment. She reached out and poked his head. "Bian Xi, you're really confused."
Bian Xi remained silent, letting their needle-like gazes fall on his scarred body.
Momo cried.
Su He immediately reached out and hugged her daughter, thinking that she was crying because of her difficult love, and couldn't help but feel heartache for her.
I left home this morning full of anticipation and happiness. Why did everything change so drastically in just a few hours?
"Bian Xi, you really disappoint me," Su He said coldly.
"I'm sorry." Bian Xi could only apologize repeatedly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than his father slapped his son across the face.
Suddenly, the room fell silent.
Momo immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out, blocking Bian's father's way. "Uncle... don't do this."
Su He also came over. Seeing that her daughter was still defending Bian Xi, she felt helpless but couldn't help but persuade her, "Brother Bian, don't get agitated. After all, Bian Xi is injured and can't be hurt anymore. Let's talk about it after he's better."
"Momo, Uncle feels so sorry for you." Bian's father felt completely ashamed at this moment. His son was so useless, and he didn't know how he would face Huang Sanlin and Su He in the future.
With such a long-standing friendship between the two families, it was thought that they would become even closer through marriage, but who could have imagined that things would develop to this point?
"Uncle, there's nothing to apologize for. I don't blame him anymore." Momo's face was still wet with tears, and her voice was soft.
When Ms. Lin saw that Momo was still protecting her son, she felt that there might still be some room for negotiation.
"Momo, Auntie also feels sorry for you. It's really something that no one wanted things to develop like this. I'm truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart for being able to forgive Bian Xi."
Momo was about to speak when Bian Xi interrupted her, "Mom, don't morally blackmail Momo like this. This engagement must be canceled. I will take responsibility for my own actions."
"Bian Xi..." Ms. Lin said helplessly, telling him to stop talking, but Bian Xi simply turned his head away and ignored her.
She glanced at Momo again, hoping to find an opportunity through her.
"Momo, don't be so impulsive as to cancel the engagement. Let's wait until you're both discharged from the hospital... and then sit down together and discuss it properly once you're both better."
"No..." Momo hardened her heart and said the refusal. She knew that if she didn't speak ruthlessly at this moment, the engagement wouldn't be canceled so smoothly. "Aunt Lin, I can't accept it."
"So... let's go back to our original relationship. We'll still be good friends."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Lin felt as if her heart had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and she stood there speechless.
She had no chance or reason to say another word.
"Don't say anything more, let's just leave it at that," Bian Xi said again.
Momo went back to her bed and lay down with her face to the wall. She didn't want to face their sad and angry faces anymore, afraid that she would break down emotionally.
The room became quieter.
No one said another word.
When Huang Sanlin arrived, Su He was processing Momo's discharge procedures.
Momo told her she didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore and wanted to go home.
Su He initially disagreed, but she understood her daughter's distress and lack of relief, and that she probably didn't want to stay in the same place as Bian Xi any longer.
However, she was also injured and needs to receive proper treatment in the hospital.
However, the doctor later said that Momo's injury was not serious and that she could go home to rest. A quiet environment would be more conducive to the recovery of her injury.
So Suhe listened to the doctor and went to process Momo's discharge from the hospital.
"How is Momo?" Huang Sanlin asked Su He, panting.
"It's nothing, don't be nervous." Su He reassured him first, telling him to relax. As for other messy things, they could talk about them later when they got back.
Huang Sanlin was relieved to hear this. "That's good. I was so worried the whole way here that I couldn't even drive. Xiaolin brought me here."
"It's alright now." Su He smiled at him. "Let's go home."
