“Cancel the engagement?” Shen Mu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Only inferior goods will be returned. Between the two of us, I am superior and he is inferior. What qualifications does he have to cancel the engagement?”
Shen Mu turned around and looked at the old man, straightening his back and speaking confidently, “Grandfather, since you are here, please make a decision. I have no objection to canceling the engagement!”
“But it’s not the Lu family canceling the engagement, it’s our Shen family canceling the engagement. Today, I, Shen Mu, declare that I am canceling the engagement with Lu Xize!”
“What did you say?” Lu Xize hadn’t reacted from Shen Qingyue’s trap yet, and heard Shen Mu say that he wanted to cancel the engagement!
He widened his eyes and asked, “You want to cancel the engagement? Who do you think you are?”
Shen Mu didn’t even look at Lu Xize, but looked at the old man and said, “Lu Xize judged people by their appearance first, didn’t keep his promise later, and now publicly humiliated me!”
“And I, Shen Mu, have not made any mistakes within the engagement from beginning to end. What qualifications does such a man have to marry me? Even if I am ugly, I am still someone that Lu Xize cannot afford to marry!”
“Therefore, if we are to cancel the engagement, it will be me who cancels it! Otherwise, how will outsiders view our Shen family? Will our Shen family’s daughter be played with at will?”
The old man was stunned by Shen Mu’s words.
In his memory, Shen Mu had become increasingly silent and unable to lift her head since her mother passed away.
Was this confident and eloquent girl really his granddaughter?
Shen Mu looked at Lu Xize and said, “If I remember correctly, when my mother and the Lu family arranged a marriage for me, they used a jade pendant as a token. If we are to cancel the engagement, did you bring the token?”
Lu Xize subconsciously looked at his father, and Shen Mu also looked at him and asked, “Mr. Liu, did you bring the token?”
Liu’s father nodded awkwardly, “Yes, I did.”
Shen Mu reached out his hand, “Please give the token back to me.”
Liu’s father looked at Xu Ruyun, obviously, this specially carved jade pendant had already been handed over to Xu Ruyun!
Xu Ruyun looked at Shen Lishan, wanting him to say something, but Shen Lishan looked at the old man and didn’t dare to make a decision easily.
If this jade pendant was handed over, it would be obvious that the Shen family was breaking off the engagement!
But it would also offend the Liu family openly!The old man of the Shen family had already seen through it.
With things having come to this point, the engagement was already off.
He sighed and said, “Give it to her!” Xu Ruyun could only put the jade pendant in Shen Mu’s hand.
Shen Mu smiled, raised his hand, and slammed it hard on the floor!
The jade pendant instantly shattered into pieces, scaring Shen Qingxue into screaming, “Sister! What are you doing!”
Shen Mu shrugged with a faint smile, “Breaking off the engagement! With this jade pendant as proof, Lu Xize and I are no longer related!”
“Liu Young Master, I haven’t told you all along, if it weren’t for keeping the marriage contract left by my mother, a man like you, I would find it dirty to even look at you!” Find the original chapter at novelping . com.
“You!”
“I heard that you and Qingxue are going to get engaged soon. Congratulations. I hope my sister’s face will remain youthful forever, otherwise how can she cater to Liu Young Master’s values? I have seen today that the Liu family believes in serving people with sex, and I am no match for them!”
“Shen Mu!” Lu Xize was scolded as useless, his face turning red.
Shen Mu turned to look at the old man, bent down and made a 90-degree bow.
She stood up and said, “Grandfather, before you came, my father publicly announced that he would drive me out of the house…””Nonsense!” The old man immediately shouted, “That’s impossible!
You are the bloodline of my Shen family, how could you be driven out of the house!”
Shen Lishan was confused, but the old man was not!
Shen Mu’s current demeanor is no less than her deceased mother.
Perhaps Shen Mu will be the most outstanding child of the Shen family.
How could she be driven out of the house so hastily?
Shen Mu smiled and said, “Grandfather, you make the decision.”
“Xiao Mu, come over here and go home with grandfather. Let them, the couple, clean up this mess!” The old man said unkindly.
Shen Mu did not refuse.
She walked towards the old man.
As she passed by Shen Qingxue, she smiled slightly and asked, “Didn’t you want to declare war? This birthday is just the beginning! Are you satisfied with how it turned out?”
Shen Qingxue couldn’t control her trembling.
Her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
Tonight was supposed to be the time when Shen Mu was discredited, but now, everyone was pointing and talking about Shen Qingxue.
She lost, and she lost miserably!
Lu Xize watched Shen Mu’s back, with long hair reaching her waist, graceful and charming, but she exuded a heroic and confident aura.Since when did Shen Mu stop being the obedient and lonely girl?
She was now proud and powerful, sharp and beautiful.
“Beautiful?” Lu Xize was scared by his own thoughts.
What does a scarred face like Shen Mu have to do with beauty?
As the guests left one after another, Shen Mu helped the old man out of the banquet hall and saw Ou Jin standing on the steps.
The old man got into the car first, and Shen Mu walked up to Ou Jin and nodded slightly. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Thank you for your help today, Mr. Ou. If it weren’t for you calling the security in time, I’m afraid I would have been disfigured again.”
Ou Jin smiled slightly.
“Yun Xiao is on a business trip out of town. I’m just doing someone a favor. Miss Shen should thank someone else.”
Shen Mu was taken aback and hadn’t spoken yet when Ou Jin continued, “Yun Xiao is not good at expressing himself. Sometimes, not all questions are asked for answers, but for attitude. Miss Shen is a smart person and should understand.”
Ou Jin turned and left, and Shen Mu was also taken to the car by the driver.
Back at the Shen family, the old man pulled Shen Mu aside in the living room to talk.
Soon, Shen Lishan’s family returned.
Shen Qingxue followed behind Xu Ruyun, her eyes swollen and red from crying, looking pitiful.
Shen Lishan walked in and called out, “Dad.”
“Grandpa… Grandpa…” Shen Qingxue whispered.
“Kneel down!” The old man roared, scaring Shen Qingxue to “thump” down on her knees and cry even more.
Every time she cried, the old man sighed deeply.
After all, she was his own granddaughter who had grown up before his eyes, and now she was crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath.
Shen Mu asked lightly, “You were the one who framed me and slandered me in public. Now, who has the right to cry and who has the right to be right in this family?”
“No… no… Sister… I didn’t… mean to…” Shen Qingxue cried and spoke incoherently.
She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Xu Ruyun also shed tears beside her.
“Little Mu, Qingxue is young and doesn’t understand. She knows she was wrong. Please forgive her for the sake of Auntie…”
Shen Mu pulled the corners of his mouth and said, “If my mother were still alive, I wonder how heartbroken she would be to see the photos and videos on the screen today. Why doesn’t anyone spare me for her sake?”
Xu Ruyun pinched the hem of her skirt and gritted her teeth as she looked at Shen Mu.
This girl wasn’t like this before!
But she suddenly changed from some point in time!
She’s so smart now, so smart that she can control people’s hearts tightly.
If Shen Mu had been so strong and overbearing all along, Grandpa wouldn’t have been too heartbroken.
But just as Shen Mu was being strong, she played the emotional card and reminded everyone present that she was bullied to this extent because she had no mother!
