Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Yanyan finally found Xing Yuyun by the stairwell.
The smell of the smoke from the cigarettes was overwhelming, and there were tons of cigarette butts at his feet. Xing Yuyun glanced at Su Yanyan indifferently before he continued puffing his cigarette.
“Brother Yun.” Su Yanyan suppressed her anger as she asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did something happen at the company?”
“Let’s cancel our engagement.”
Su Yanyan’s expresssion changed instantly. “What did you say?”
Xing Yuyun stared at her intently and repeated, “I said that we should cancel our engagement.”
“… But why?”
Xing Yuyun did not reply.
Su Yanyan grabbed his arm and began to apologize profusely: “Brother Yun, I am so sorry. I admit that I was wrong and the photos were my mistake. I swear that I will never do something like that again in the future, so please forgive me. Our engagement banquet is only twenty days away. Our invitation cards have already been sent out and we have already booked the hotel. I have also selected all of our outfits-”
“I can handle all of those things,” Xing Yuyun replied coldly.
Su Yanyan looked at the handsome man in front of her and suddenly realized that he was serious.
At that moment, Su Wanwan’s face flashed in Su Yanyan’s mind.
She felt a pang of jealousy and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Is it because of Su Wanwan? Are you regretting it because she is back now? Did you have a private meeting with her just now? Did the both of you kiss-”
“This has nothing to do with her,” Xing Yuyun interrupted her impatiently.
“I knew it!” Su Yanyan screamed, “You have been cold to me ever since she returned to China! If she was not here at the hospital to help my grandfather get discharged, you would not have come all the way here either, right? Su Wanwan is really amazing! She stole your heart as soon as she came back, but do you know what she said about you? She said that you are just like a dog that is always pestering her and clinging to her!”
“Shut up!” Xing Yuyun ordered sharply.
The image of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan together seemed to be imprinted in his mind. He could not help but think of the embarrassment, humiliation, and massive blow to his self-esteem just now.
As a man, he could not accept it!
“She is nothing more than an illegitimate child! She is just like her mother! She started fighting when she was just a junior in high school and she was even locked up before! She fooled around with men in bars with Mo Weiyi when they were just teenagers, so her reputation has already been tarnished a long time ago!”
“Su Yanyan!”
Su Yanyan gasped when he grabbed her wrist.
“Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Su Wanwan is?” Xing Yuyun gripped her wrist as he glared at her furiously. “When I was engaged to her, we had not even held hands before. But what about you? You secretly drugged me and seduced me so that I would be sexually intimate with you. Tell me then, don’t you think that you are the despicable and trashy one instead of her?”
Su Yanyan trembled uncontrollably, her face ashen.
He knew?
“Did you drug that glass of red wine that night too?” Xing Yuyun sneered when he saw the guilty look on her face.
If it weren’t for the fact that everything that day seemed too coincidental, he would not have gone to the hospital for a checkup that night.
“I want to cancel the engagement immediately,” Xing Yuyun said again.
Cancel?
Upset and angry, Su Yanyan cried out, “Why did you agree to get engaged to me before this then? You even did it with me-”
“I hate being set up, especially by a shameless woman like you! If it weren’t for your father constantly pressuring my grandfather, do you think that I would simply agree to get engaged to someone like you?” After he was done speaking, Xing Yuyun turned around and left.

In the ward.
Jiang Yi frowned as she glanced at the time.
That Yanyan…
How long had she been away for? Why wasn’t she back yet? Yuyun was not around either.
“Grandpa, it is getting late. I will take you downstairs first,” Su Wanwan said gently.
Su Xueqin was sitting on his wheelchair, looking stern and angry.
“Dad, Yanyan and Yuyun should be back soon.” As soon as Jiang Yu said that, the door opened and Su Yanyan walked in, a look of despair on her face.
Jiang Yu hurriedly got up and asked, “Yanyan, where is Yuyun?”
Su Yanyan froze for a moment before saying quickly, “He said that he had something to do at the company,”
“Hmph!” Su Xueqin snorted.
When she saw the unhappy look on the old man’s face, Jiang Yi rushed to explain, “Perhaps something unexpected came up at the company. After all, Yuyun has just become its general manager. No wonder he left in such a hurry just now! Aunty Yang, come and help Wanwan with the wheelchair.”
“Okay, Madam.”
After the group of people left, Jiang Yi finally looked at her daughter.
“Yanyan, what is the matter with Yuyun? The old master’s mood finally improved a little, so why did he leave so suddenly without even saying anything at all?”
Jiang Yi had specifically asked her daughter to invite Xing Yuyun to the hospital because Su Xueqin was getting discharged today. She wanted him to say a few nice words in front of the old man so that they could atone for their mistakes and try to please him instead. In the end, he had left just like that.
Su Yanyan suddenly burst into tears. “Brother Yun… Brother Yun, he…”
