Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Yu Yao wasn't stupid; she connected the dots between the sudden change in the expressions of the Shen couple and Xu Yan's change of face on stage.

So Xu Yan was forced into an engagement?

Realizing this, Yu Yao subconsciously glanced at Shen Yunshan.

He was looking at her too.

Not to mention Shen Yunshan, everyone in the room is watching her now.

Yu Yao snapped out of her daze, immediately put on a polite smile, shook Xu Yan's hand, and nodded to the audience.

Besides the Shen family, who were aware of the situation, there was also the Gu family, the marriage partner. Among those present, there were quite a few intelligent people who noticed something was amiss.

But everyone still offered their congratulations.

Shen's parents were both respectable people who cared about their image, so they readily accepted the offer.

Quickly announce the start of the banquet.

The event didn't end peacefully. As the guests dispersed, Yu Yao quickly pulled Xu Yan to a corner when no one was looking.

He said sternly, "Xu Yan!"

This was the first time Yu Yao had ever gotten angry and lost her temper in front of Xu Yan.

Xu Yan lowered his eyes, his expression dark.

Yu Yao had no idea what Xu Yan was thinking, and she was very angry.

"Tell me honestly, did they bully you?"

"Were you unaware of this engagement? How could they do this? Are they even your biological parents?"

Xu Yan stared at her indignant expression in silence for a long time. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed someone approaching and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Yu Yao also discovered it was Lu Qinian.

He walked over and glanced at Xu Yan, then shifted his gaze to Yu Yao, his expression serious.

"Yaoyao, what happened?"

Yu Yao sighed in exasperation, just as the maid arrived.

"Young Master, Mr. Shen requests that you and Miss Yu go to the study."

Yu Yao knew this was a reckoning, and coincidentally, she also had grievances to settle.

He glanced at Lu Qinian, feeling helpless, knowing that his senior was also worried about him, and comforted him:

"This matter is complicated, I'll explain it to you later, I'll go first."

After saying that, he left with the servant.

Not only members of the Shen family, but also members of the Gu family were in the study.

This matter has escalated to this point, and there needs to be an explanation.

Yu Yao and Xu Yan were given a rude awakening as soon as they entered.

Mr. Shen was furious.

"Bastard!"

A teacup flew from the table, and Xu Yan instinctively covered Yu Yao completely, letting the cup hit his forehead.

Blood flowed down his cheek.

Yu Yao was anxious and wanted to check immediately, but Xu Yan pulled her down with his hand to comfort her.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

No one paid any attention to Xu Yan and Yu Yao, these two insignificant people.

Mr. Shen politely concluded the matter with the head of the Gu family.

"The child has grown up and is no longer under his parents' control. He has a girlfriend but doesn't even tell his family. This is our fault. Although the engagement is off, it won't affect our cooperation. Shen's will give us another five percent..."

Yu Yao watched quietly the whole time, observing how much profit they were calculating amidst their laughter and conversation, and how they used Xu Yan as a pawn at the table.

Perhaps it's not even a bargaining chip, just a pawn.

This long and agonizing ordeal is finally over.

After the Gu family left, the real questioning and retribution began.

Shen's mother handed Yu Yao a stack of documents.

“Miss Yu, I understand that young people can be head over heels in love, but you are also a top student at A University. You should know what would be the best choice for our Shen Yan, right?”

Yu Yao held down Xu Yan, who was about to stand up for her, and flipped through the documents in her hand.

Shen's mother continued to press her advantage, raising the stakes even higher.

"Besides, Miss Yu is very clear about Shen Yan's past, isn't she? Speaking of which, he is your father's killer?"

These words were truly a stab to the heart; that past was a shared pain for both Yu Yao and Xu Yan.

One of them suffered domestic violence and lost his father at a young age, while the other's life was ruined as a result.

Xu Yan panicked this time and subconsciously looked at Yu Yao, only to see that she was still calm, her eyes lowered and silent.

After a long while, Yu Yao finally finished reading it.

He looked up and scanned the surroundings.

"I think you've misunderstood. Shen Yan and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

"As for why Shen Yan said that in public today, I'm sure you know better than I do. As you said, our past is indeed unbearable."

At this point, Yu Yao sensed that Xu Yan was trying to interrupt her, so she gave him a reassuring look.

“But I know Shen Yan better than you do. You can’t see his kindness and integrity, and you use that as a pretext to attack and slander him. But you’re mistaken if you try to use such divisive words on me.”

Of course, Shen Yan also made mistakes. His biggest mistake was that he shouldn't have been born into the Shen family, but he wasn't raised in the Shen family. I know you are all-powerful and can find out about his past, but have you ever cared about what kind of life he lived in the Xu family for more than ten years?

I don't think so. I suppose you're very disappointed that the child you found doesn't meet your expectations?

To be honest, I feel sorry for Xu Yan having parents like you.

Yu Yao was not unaware of what was happening today. This superior couple looked down on Xu Yan and were eager to steer him onto the path they desired.

Seeing that the Shen couple's faces were getting darker and darker, Yu Yao changed the subject.

"I've read the information. Miss Gu is indeed very outstanding. If you want a sincere compliment from me, then you've achieved your goal. But if you're looking to discourage me, then you've come to the wrong person."

Neither now nor in the future will I have anything to do with Shen Yan.

However, if you still have any affection for Shen Yan, please respect his wishes. He has already suffered enough; please don't hurt him anymore.

Of course, if something like this happens again, I wouldn't mind making a scene as the official girlfriend. After all, I'm just an unknown nobody, and it wouldn't be a loss for me to become the subject of gossip with the Shen family.

"I need to take Shen Yan to get his wound treated now, do you all have any objections?"

This was probably the toughest Yu Yao had ever been. She was always kind to others, but today, in order to stand up for Xu Yan, she had completely offended the Shen family.

After Yu Yao finished speaking, she ignored everyone else, grabbed Xu Yan, and left the study.

Yu Yao met Shen Yunshan at the door and nodded to him.

The crisp sound of a teacup shattering echoed from the study behind me.

Shen Yunshan glanced at her and went into the study.

Yu Yao pulled Xu Yan to his room, found the first-aid kit and began to treat the wound. Although the injury was not serious, it was still cut and bleeding, and Yu Yao looked distressed.

"Bear with it."

Xu Yan silently gazed at her face, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. The distance was too close; he could feel her faint breath…

Yu Yao was oblivious to his burning gaze and was still carefully giving him instructions.

"I need to disinfect it. I'll be as gentle as possible. Tell me if it hurts."
