He knew that if this matter were to become public, it would bring him immense shame.

How could this happen! He clearly discussed it with his daughter beforehand, so why is this happening now?

His mind raced for a moment, and then he hurriedly sent someone to fetch his daughter.

He felt that this was definitely a setup, that Hua Qi was deliberately setting a trap to harm his daughter in order to break off the engagement, it must be!

Not long after, Shen Xiaoxiao was summoned to the main hall. She was completely unaware of the situation before her, but when she saw Hua Qi, she did not show any unusual expression on her face.

However, she sensed that since entering the main hall, the gazes of those around her had become very strange, which made her frown and feel puzzled.

"Father, what happened?"

She bowed to Shen Changqing and asked softly, she really didn't understand why she had been called over, and why the people who came to call her all looked flustered.

"Xiaoxiao, Hua Qi wants to break off your engagement."

Shen Changqing sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face. He knew in his heart that his daughter was indeed in the wrong, but he really didn't want to say it directly in front of so many people.

So he said that Hua Qi wanted to break off the engagement, hoping that the situation wouldn't be too awkward.

"Father? Why do you want to break off the engagement?"

Shen Xiaoxiao's heart sank, but she remained calm on the surface. She looked at Hua Qi, who was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see his expression.

She and Hua Qi had no conflict, so why would he suddenly propose to break off the engagement?

Shen Changqing was silent for a moment, then used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Shen Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, did you do something with a man outside? Did you not clean up the mess and Hua Qi saw it and even showed me the recording stone, leaving you with no way to defend yourself? Tell me, is this true or not?"

Upon hearing her father's words, Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked, and her face turned pale instantly. She never expected that her secret had been discovered by Hua Qi.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret towards Hua Qi, but when she looked at Hua Qi, the guilt in her heart vanished without a trace.

Because of that masked face, it's impossible to imagine what he really looks like.

Rumor has it that Hua Qi's face is very strange, and he must wear this mask to move freely among people.

That's why she did what she did. She didn't actually want to marry him, but she never expected that he would see all of this.

“Dad, I…” Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to explain, but didn’t know how to begin.

Seeing his daughter's troubled expression, Shen Changqing sighed inwardly. He knew that Xiaoxiao also wanted to break off the engagement. She had been unwilling since the engagement was first made, but it would be too embarrassing for others to know.

After the engagement was broken off, he could only hope that his daughter would learn from her mistake and not repeat it.

"Let's break off the engagement! I understand you don't have any feelings for him, and this will solve the problem."

Shen Changqing said with a serious expression. Seeing the change in Shen Xiaoxiao's expression, he already understood the reason.

After all, as a father, he understands his daughter's personality quite well.

At the same time, considering that Hua Qi is a new generation of outstanding talent, continuing to pursue the matter might lead to a breakdown in their relationship, so it was decided not to pursue the matter any further.

"Alright, Father, Hua Qi, it was indeed my fault this time. I am willing to break off the engagement and offer some spirit stones as compensation. Please forgive me."

Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head and admitted her mistake sincerely. Although she was unwilling, she didn't expect to be discovered, but she knew she couldn't make a scene any longer.
