Tao Yuxuan only wishes she were an ostrich, able to bury her head in the sand.
Shi Xu continued, "Not only did she vomit on me, but Miss Tao also got her own clothes dirty."
Mr. Tao was furious. "Keep making things up! My daughter is so beautiful, can you honestly say you didn't have any ulterior motives? I never imagined you'd make a move on your sister's best friend! If you were to pursue her properly... cough cough!"
Shi Xu calmly said, "You can go and check Miss Tao's bathroom; my soiled clothes are still there."
Everyone: ...
I don't really want to watch it.
That's true. No matter how much one might want to do something wrong, under those circumstances, one would not act improperly.
Tao Yuxuan: He lowered his head even further.
A moment later, the maid came in and said, "Mr. Shi's clothes are indeed all dirty."
Tao Yuxuan: Just let me die!!
Tao's father coughed and said to Shi Xu, "Well, my Tao Tao is already taken. No matter how much you care, you can't overstep the line like this, right?"
Timeline: "I apologize, it was my oversight today that caused damage to Ms. Tao's reputation."
With a forced smile, Mr. Tao said to Mrs. Jun, "Aunt Jun, look, everything's cleared up now. Shall we go cut the cake and announce the wedding?"
For Tao's father, the most important thing right now is to form a marriage alliance with the Jun family to avoid the fate of his company going bankrupt.
Old Mrs. Jun snorted coldly, "You've made a fool of this old woman! My Jun family sincerely wants to propose marriage. If you're so perfunctory, then the marriage is off!"
After saying that, Old Madam Jun got up and walked out.
Tao's father quickly followed, showering him with kind words.
However, it was completely useless.
Grandma Jun simply couldn't listen to it.
She wants a granddaughter-in-law.
But she loves her grandson even more.
Who would find a cuckold for their grandson?
After the two left, Tao Yuxuan kept her head down and didn't dare to look up. "Um, I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty. I'll pay you back."
Chronology: "No need, it was my fault for ruining your wedding. I should be the one apologizing."
"I never wanted to get married in the first place." Tao Yuxuan's feelings were complicated, and she didn't know how to describe them.
Shi Xi asked worriedly, "But what will happen to your family if this happens?"
Tao Yuxuan leaned back on the sofa, her eyes still fixed on the floor, and said, "At worst, I'll go bankrupt and go back to my hometown to farm. I have hands and feet, I won't starve."
Shi Xi comforted Tao Yuxuan, then glanced at the silent Shi Xu and said, "Brother, what do you want to say? You ruined someone's perfectly good marriage, don't you feel any remorse?"
Oh no.
Don't you feel any remorse for ruining someone's engagement?
Shi Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I think this happened too coincidentally."
He escorted Tao Yuxuan back to her room. Her clothes were dirty, so she took them off. Then, Old Madam Jun and Tao's father came in, and the engagement was considered impolite.
Shi Xu asked Shi Xi, "Why did you bring Old Madam Jun and Uncle Tao in with you?"
Shi Xi recalled her experience and recounted it to Shi Xu.
"Lu Wancheng?" Shi Xu thought of the name, confirmed that he had never met her, and then asked, "What friends does she have?"
"I don't know." Shi Xi was completely uninterested in Lu Wancheng's gossip.
Shi Xu looked at Tao Yuxuan and asked, "You invited her?"
"I don't even know that woman!" Tao Yuxuan quickly waved her hand and lowered her head.
It was still a bit awkward.
Shi Xi said, "She came with Xie Er."
"Xie Er?" Shi Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who is that?" Tao Yuxuan asked.
