This voice was very familiar.

The moment Huang Lijun heard it, her eyes instantly lit up.

Shen Yiyao also recognized the voice and immediately ran out happily.

“Brother Ye!

You’re finally here!

My sister is going crazy.

But listen to me first; I’m really anxious here!

Could you please go teach Lu Mian a lesson?

That woman Lu Mian is just too awful!”

Shen Yiyao, far from considering herself an outsider, remained the selfish and spoiled princess, pulling at Ye Jinwen to vent her frustration for her.

But…

In front of Lu Mian, Ye Jinwen was nothing but a little brother, and asking him to teach Lu Mian a lesson would take more courage than he could muster, even if he had a hundred times the guts.

The baby-faced man had a stern expression and ignored Shen Yiyao, walking straight into the living room.

Shen Yiyao followed behind him, chirping non-stop like a sparrow.

Seeing Ye Jinwen walk in, Huang Lijun immediately treated him like an honored guest, personally preparing tea for him.

Shen Yixin just sat quietly on the side, as calm and collected as ever.

As for Shao Yunxuan, she sat stiffly next to Shen Yixin, not sure what to say and cautiously greeted Ye Jinwen.

Out of politeness, Ye Jinwen nodded, and Shao Yunxuan immediately became elated.

Huang Lijun sat opposite Ye Jinwen, courteously offering him the tea, “Jinwen, don’t take to heart what Yixin said before.

You know she’s been frustrated in her mindset for the past two years and sometimes throws a little tantrum.

Just pretend you didn’t hear what she said.”

Ye Jinwen didn’t take the cup of tea and glanced at Shen Yixin, feeling endlessly guilty.

Ultimately, it was she who had the courage to be upfront with her family.

He hadn’t even had time to reply to her before she hastily announced the matter, which showed that Shen Yixin really didn’t want to marry him, Ye Jinwen.

He admitted, he really was terrible, causing her left hand to end up like this, yet he didn’t have the courage that she did.

Ye Jinwen felt a deep sense of indebtedness to Shen Yixin, but his enthusiasm for the Shen family was not as keen.

He looked across the room and smiled, “Aunt Shen, I came today indeed to discuss this matter.

Is Uncle Shen here?”

“Your uncle went to his company.

They called from the company at noon, and he left before he even finished his meal; there must be some important business negotiation going on, and I’m afraid he can’t come back just yet,” Huang Lijun explained.

Ye Jinwen narrowed his eyes slightly, kindly holding back any comment.

What business negotiation.

It must be the handy work of Brother Qimo.

Brother Qimo said that he wanted to teach the Shen family a lesson, and his words were not to be taken lightly.

“Aunt Shen, it doesn’t matter if Uncle Shen isn’t here, you can just relay the message to him.

As Yixin has already told you, our Ye family is also prepared to call off this engagement,” he continued.

“What?!” Huang Lijun, clutching her cup, suddenly trembled, spilling the hot tea all over the table.

“Brother Ye, what’s wrong with you?

What on earth is going on between you two?” Shen Yiyao was still very confused, and after looking at Shen Yixin, she glared accusingly at her sister, “Look what you’ve done!

Now Brother Ye doesn’t want you anymore, what on earth did you say to him?!”

She glared at Shen Yixin, both domineering and disappointed, as though she had lost something precious.

Shen Yixin, however, looked at Ye Jinwen and, far from being saddened, she managed a rare smile.

She had been worried that Ye Jinwen wouldn’t let go, but surprisingly, he had agreed.

That worked out perfectly.

She could finally stand proudly in front of Xi Xi’s gravesite and tell her joyfully, “Xi Xi, I’ve given him back to you.”

Ye Jinwen couldn’t possibly ignore Shen Yiyao’s accusations.

“`

He looked at the unruly girl with a hint of coldness, “It has nothing to do with your sister!

The Shen family doesn’t need to shift all the blame onto Yixin.

This matter, half the responsibility lies with me.

The other half lies with Shen Yiyao!”

“Brother Ye, what are you talking about!

Our not wanting to get married has nothing to do with me!

You’re really good at passing the buck, aren’t you!” Shen Yiyao, angered, came over to Huang Lijun’s side and shook her arm, urging her to say something.

Huang Lijun was somewhat stunned by now and had no time to pay her any attention.

After regaining her composure for a good while, she asked, “Jinwen, what exactly did you mean just now?

Just tell us the truth; whether it’s Yixin’s fault or Yiyao’s fault, our Shen family will definitely not cover for them.

I will make them apologize to you properly!”

Ye Jinwen shook his head.

“Yixin took the initiative to discuss with me the cancellation of our engagement.

I hadn’t made a decision at that point.

After all, the matter started with me, and that responsibility, I can never escape.” After saying this, he looked towards Shen Yiyao, “But the person who truly made me make this decision was Shen Yiyao.”

Shen Yiyao: ?

Huang Lijun: ?

“The fact that Shen Yiyao made things difficult for Lu Mian at the Painting Academy today was discovered by Brother Qimo, and you all know the relationship I have with Brother Qimo.

You should be clear about which side I would stand on,” Ye Jinwen said indifferently.

Shen Yiyao didn’t understand, “Brother Ye, I don’t get it, how does it relate to me?

So what if I made life difficult for Lu Mian?

Could it be that Brother Qimo would pursue my responsibility for her sake?”

Ye Jinwen inwardly rolled his eyes.

The spoiled daughter probably thought that the whole world revolved around her, that everyone had to indulge her, pamper her.

Unfortunately for her, she had messed with Lu Mian.

If she had offended Brother Qimo directly, perhaps nothing would have happened, but she had crossed the person Brother Qimo held dear to his heart and deserved to be retaliated against.

Probably by tonight, the Shen family would find out what had happened at the company.

Regarding this, he could only express his helplessness.

Offend anyone but had to provoke Lu Mian the top dog.

“Yes, Brother Qimo will indeed pursue the responsibility of you and the Shen family for Lu Mian’s sake.

He made me choose, so I have decided to call off this engagement,” he confirmed.

After saying this, Ye Jinwen turned his gaze to Shen Yixin.

“Yixin, I’m sorry.

I will find other ways to compensate you later, and I will have someone take care of the follow-up matters.

I hope you can be happy,” he said as he began to smile.

As he spoke, Shen Yixin also smiled.

Only at this moment did the two of them seem to truly let go, to be truly sincere with each other.

Meanwhile, Huang Lijun and Shen Yiyao were completely overwhelmed and unable to comprehend.

Relying on the support of the Ye Family, they flaunted their power and dreamt of the future, only to have someone turn up at their doorstep and bluntly say “the engagement is off,” which was like a slap to the face on the spot.

And all of this was not because of Shen Yixin but because they had offended Lu Mian…

.Co

The mother and daughter couldn’t wrap their heads around it.

But Ye Jinwen had already left, and he didn’t say anything more.

As for returning to the Ye family, he was well aware of what awaited him.

But now he had the support of Seventh Brother!

Even if his family was really to do anything to him, Seventh Brother would definitely come to his aid!

Ye Jinwen had just taken light steps out of the Shen family’s grand entrance when Shen Yixin followed a step slower after him.

“Brother Ye!” calling him now, Shen Yixin sounded much more relaxed as she handed over a beautifully crafted card, “My teacher has a small concert on the fifth day, remember to come!”

“This…” Ye Jinwen took the ticket and nodded, “Okay, I’ll definitely be there!”
