Her excitement and anger could not shake Ruan Xingchen in the slightest.

There was no expression on her face, and her jet-black hair fell softly behind her, making her look noble and beautiful, making people dare not look directly at her.

"lady."

Huo Yan's heart sank slightly, and he felt a little uneasy.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly. He stood up and looked at her. He opened his mouth to shout, but didn't know what to say.

Ruan Xingchen then raised her eyelids and looked at him with clear eyes.

The black and white are clear, so clear that it seems as if one can see through all his violence and darkness.

Huo Yan clenched his fists and remained silent.

"microphone."

Ruan Xingchen spread out his hands.

Her nails are round and beautiful, her skin is as white as cream, and her hands are like works of art.

It was hard to explain why, but the emcee hiding in the corner of the stage felt a slight movement in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the microphone and hand it to her.

It was as if she was born to be high and mighty and be served attentively.

Before him, a tall figure bent down.

Picking up the microphone, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully before handing it to her. He looked at her with his dark eyes and called out again, "Madam."

The eyes that suppressed deep emotions seemed to reveal a hint of pleading at this moment.

Like a big dog waiting for mercy.

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but curl his lower lip.

"Shaoyang, are you okay? Come on, let's go downstairs."

Lin Rou cried bitterly, hugging Zhong Shaoyang and worrying: "How could he be so cruel... Shaoyang, let's go to the hospital. What if something happens, what will you let your mother do..."

"I do not go!"

Frowning, Zhong Shaoyang pushed her impatiently: "Mom, don't get in the way. It's none of your business!"

"Why are you still caring about that rebellious son? He has completely disgraced our Zhong family!"

Zhong Dingguo was furious, his roar shaking the heavens: "Even if he dies outside, don't bother with him! Let him be stubborn, I don't have a son like that!"

"If you don't have anything urgent to do, why don't you listen to me first?"

Holding the microphone casually, Ruan Xingchen lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Since the engagement party can't go on anyway, why not give me, the person involved, a chance to speak out."

Her voice is sweet and clear, and when it is drawn out, it has the soft accent of the water town Wu dialect.

It's soft, yet very catchy, making people unable to help but focus their attention on her.

The chaotic meeting place fell silent, making Lin Rou's yelling sound particularly harsh: "Bitch! Get out! We don't welcome you in the Zhong family! What qualifications do you have to speak, you vixen! I knew you weren't a good person...ah!"

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Huo Yan, with a stern face, took a step forward and kicked her hard in the heart.

"I never like to hit women."

His gaze was as cold as ice, and his voice was as chill as if it were mixed with ice slag. He said, "Dare to insult my wife? No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you are dead in my eyes."

"I don't mind breaking the rules for Mrs. Zhong."

He said in a deep voice: "It depends on Madam Zhong whether she wants to take her own life or not."

"Boss Huo, you are going too far!"

His wife was kicked to the ground. Zhong Dingguo didn't know whether he was angry or humiliated. His face flushed red and he said angrily, "It's not enough to cause a disturbance at the engagement party of our Zhong and Li families. But you hit me like that. You are so arrogant!"

"Didn't your good son cause this engagement party himself?"

Lifting his thin lips in mockery, Huo Yan sneered, "I advise Mr. Zhong to keep quiet and not disturb my wife. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Huo Yan, have you been bewitched by that bitch Ruan Xingchen?"

Lin Rou gnashed her teeth in hatred and couldn't help but yell, "Are you one of her dogs? You bite wherever I tell you to! You treat this fickle woman like a treasure, and you don't even know how many times she's cheated on you!"

"boom!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yan raised his foot and kicked her hard again.

Lin Rou's throat choked and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

What made her more painful than the physical pain was that Zhong Shaoyang was looking at her with disapproval on his face. He said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Han Xing is not the woman you say she is."

Her son is still protecting that woman!

Lin Rou's vision went dark and she wished she could faint on the spot to avoid facing this embarrassing situation.

"Even if I have to be your wife's dog, I am willing to do it."

Huo Yan looked down at her coldly and sneered, "It's my job to hold you in my arms. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make you fall to the ground and smash you to pieces. Madam Zhong, you'd better be sensible."

Under his intimidation, no one on the field dared to speak for a moment.

As silent as a cicada.

In this silence, Ruan Xingchen was as elegant and calm as ever.

She was so slim and graceful that she looked as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

But on the stormy sea, she stood firm, standing here steadily, without being stained by a speck of dust.

"Now that everyone is free, I'll have a word with Master Zhong."

She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her fair and beautiful profile.

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow. She walked to Zhong Shaoyang and looked at him with her eyes lowered, as if she was puzzled: "You said you love me?"

"Yes."

Zhong Shaoyang gritted his teeth, stared at her longingly, and confessed affectionately: "Han Xing, I have only loved you from the beginning to the end. Please forgive me, and let's make peace."

"As far as I can remember, I've never been with Master Zhong before, so how can we reconcile?"

With a mocking smile, Ruan Xingchen said calmly: "I still remember that I told you more than once that I don't like you."

"I...I know you were just talking in anger."

Zhong Shaoyang's face was pale, and he stammered, trying to redeem himself: "I, I know I did a lot of things wrong... Han Xing, I was just bewildered, I know I was wrong..."

"Shhh—I don't want to hear your insincere apology."

With her slender index finger raised in front of her red lips, Ruan Xingchen interrupted what he was going to say.

Her voice, after being spread by the microphone, was still clear, her pronunciation was distinct, and she spoke with a cold tone: "Zhong Shaoyang, I told you a long time ago that I have never liked you."

"I saved you from those little thugs, and this is how you repay me?"

She smiled lightly and shook her head: "That's really a prime example of repaying kindness with enmity."

"I'm telling you one last time, I've never had feelings for you."

With a hint of pity, she asked doubtfully, "Why are you so ordinary, yet so confident? What exactly makes you so different from Mr. Huo that gives you the confidence to make me give up Mr. Huo and choose to be with you?"

ridiculous.

These two big words were clearly written in her eyes.

Zhong Shaoyang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. At this moment, he felt as if he was wearing only a single layer of clothing and walking on a snowy wasteland.

Chilled to the core.
