Even if you're very assertive, it's not right to steal someone else's fiancée, is it?
Mr. Shen was very uneasy. When he saw Mrs. Shen bring in the tea again, he quickly gave her a meaningful look.
Mother Shen was preoccupied with the fact that Ouyang Yu, that beast, was already with Shen Wangshu but was still flirting with other women. She was so distracted that she didn't notice Father Shen's expression. She sat down next to Father Shen, her mind heavy with worry.
If it weren't for the arrival of distinguished guests, she would have already started swearing.
"Marriage?" The handsome young man's face immediately darkened.
"We broke up." Shen Wangshu chuckled when she saw his face turn black with jealousy, looking like he wanted to punch Ouyang Yu.
Her calm demeanor and complete disregard for her marriage prospect immediately pleased the menacing "Master Xue".
A faint satisfaction appeared in the young man's eyes. Seeing Shen Wangshu sitting opposite him, secretly stroking his face, he felt a sudden itch in his heart. He sat in the particularly lonely leather chair, staring blankly at Shen Wangshu for a while. Then, with a straight face but with ripples of laughter in his eyes, he walked over and sat down next to Shen Wangshu, casually reaching out to take her hand and holding it tightly.
He felt at ease only after holding her hand.
"Break up?!" Mr. Shen, who had been listening intently, exclaimed in surprise and jumped up from the sofa.
He had already prepared the engagement invitations, and was just waiting to send them out in a couple of days to give his beloved daughter a grand engagement ceremony. But how did they break up in the blink of an eye?
Doesn't your daughter love that Ouyang Yu very much?
"Did he bully you?!" Ignoring the fact that Master Xue was still present, Father Shen asked aggressively.
His eyes were red with anger, as if he could rush to the Ouyang family and make Ouyang Yu suffer if Shen Wangshu nodded.
It was like this in my past life too.
When Ouyang Yu and Gao Wanning made Shen Shuya cry, causing her to lose tens of millions of yuan and lose face, and making her go home crying, Shen's father went to Ouyang's house to personally argue with him, determined to get justice for Shen Shuya.
This was certainly a loving father's way of showing his love for his daughter, not wanting her to suffer any grievances, and wanting his son-in-law to cherish his daughter's feelings. However, he didn't understand that when Ouyang Yu was forced to apologize to Shen Shuya and promise to cherish her in the future, not to get entangled with other women, and not to make her unhappy again, the man's heart had already changed.
Even if Ouyang Yu is gentle by nature, he is still a man. How could he not be angry when he was forced to bow his head to his fiancée in front of everyone?
Moreover, he has Gao Wanning outside who is more vibrant and compatible with him, which makes him never fall for Shen Shuya again.
Shen Wangshu's deep hatred for Ouyang Yu stemmed from this.
He could dislike Shen Shuya and like other women. After all, this wasn't the dogmatic and etiquette-bound ancient times, where women could live without men.
If Shen Shuya leaves him, perhaps another man will come to love her and she will have her own happy marriage.
Is it so hard for him to just tell her that he has no feelings for her and doesn't want to marry her?
But Ouyang Yu did not. He claimed to be sacrificing his marriage and happiness for Ouyang Jewelry, portraying himself as a tragic figure making a great sacrifice. Even though he had already changed his mind, he insisted on giving Shen Shuya hope, making her believe that he still liked her.
He used his gentleness to trap her, all for the sake of Shen's Jewelry. He even went so far as to destroy the entire Shen family for another woman. Shen Wangshu couldn't understand how Ouyang Yu could have the face to live happily with Gao Wanning after bearing the weight of the Shen family's deaths, but now that she was here, he could forget about ever being happy again.
"That bastard cheated on her, and Shushu broke up with him." Mother Shen sighed, unwilling to let her daughter keep bringing up painful memories.
Her daughter is talented and beautiful, how could she have met such a bastard!
You can know a person's face but not their heart.
"Cheating?!" Mr. Shen was so angry he couldn't speak.
He was so angry that he didn't even bother to stop Master Xue from holding Shen Wangshu's hand.
The Shen family and the Ouyang family were considered a good match. Shen Wangshu did not try to marry above her station with Ouyang Yu, yet that kid was still not satisfied.
He gave his beloved daughter the entire Shen family jewelry as a dowry, yet the Ouyang family still bullies them like this.
“Even if he didn’t cheat on me, I would still break up with him.” Shen Wangshu looked tenderly at her parents in this life, poured them some fragrant black tea, picked up a small piece of gingerbread and bit into it, saying indistinctly, “I have someone I like, who is a hundred or a thousand times better than that useless second-generation rich kid.”
She thought the gingerbread her mother baked was delicious—fragrant with milk, crispy, and melt-in-your-mouth. A subtle sweetness spread through her mouth, making her feel sweet inside as well. Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed another piece, handing it to Ah Xuan.
In this life, he should be called Xue Xuan.
Xue Xuan looked at her quietly, then lowered his head and looked at the gingerbread with a dignified and cold gaze. He didn't take it, but instead peeked out and ate it from Shen Wangshu's fingers.
He bit into a gingerbread, stuck out his red tongue, and even licked Shen Wangshu's fingertips.
He even rolled the little bit of powdered sugar on his fingertips into his mouth.
Suddenly, Shen's father stopped cursing Ouyang Yu and stared at Xue Xuan in disbelief.
But Shen's mother's eyes lit up.
She didn't care about her father's worries; what she cared about was the brilliance in her daughter's eyes when she looked at Xue Xuan—a brilliance she had never seen before.
Even when facing Ouyang Yu from the front, there was no such brilliance.
Xue Xuan is a whole galaxy better than Ouyang Yu. If Shen Wangshu likes Xue Xuan, Shen's mother will be more at ease.
She had long heard the rumors that Xue Xuan was indifferent to women. If he truly loved his daughter, he would cherish her and wouldn't cause her the same heartbreak as Ouyang Yu. This young man was too arrogant; he was aloof and superior, and he wouldn't even stoop to such despicable acts.
