Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

"Aunt Wang, I'm alright—"

With immense willpower, Si Yuan overcame her psychological barriers and spoke.

Outsiders all thought Si Yuan was a delicate and fragile little flower who couldn't withstand any storms.

Little did she know that Si Qingwan's years of training and education had long since turned her into someone she considered invincible.

Especially when faced with such disgusting things, she would never allow herself to fall down and become a weakling trampled on by everyone.

Those six simple words changed the expression of everyone present.

Xiang Mingche's face was full of disbelief, as if he was determined to break off his engagement with Si Yuan.

But because Si Yuan spoke, the sense of defeat that the plan was about to fail, and an undeniable sense of complexity arose.

Si Yingying was furious, but she never expected that even this wouldn't be enough to destroy Si Yuan.

Wang Congrong's expression was complicated. Yesterday, Xiang Mingche told her about breaking off the engagement with Si Yuan. At first, she was reluctant to part with Si Yuan, after all, she had watched Si Yuan grow up.

Although Si Yingying is the true daughter of the Si family, she is no match for Si Yuan in terms of personality, speech and manners.

She didn't want to hurt Si Yuan and had planned to use her emotions to manipulate Si Yuan. However, she had just told Si Yuan how much her son loved her when she saw the plaster cast being smashed.

With no hope in his love life, this was the only path he could take, but unfortunately, he still failed.

Si Aofu closed her eyes, perhaps because she didn't want to see Si Yuan in such pain.

I still don't want to see this end with Si Yuan's victory.

Si Yuan looked at Xiang Mingche with red eyes and slowly pushed him away.

That push made Xiang Mingche realize clearly that A Yuan didn't want him anymore.

This realization terrified him. "Ah Yuan..."

He tried to reach out and grab something, but he grabbed nothing.

Si Yuan didn't look at him again, but stood up and slowly said to everyone, "Thank you for your concern. I would like to say three things about what just happened."

"First, my reaction just now was a physiological stress response caused by the sudden exposure to darkness, and it has nothing to do with genetics or psychological disorders."

"Secondly, I have a physical examination every six months, and my health condition is documented with professional medical reports. Anyone who doesn't believe me can go to the hospital for a checkup."

"third……"

Si Yuan walked up to Old Liu and said, "I'm so sorry, Old Liu. Because of me, your great-grandson's first birthday party turned out like this. I will definitely come to apologize in person in a while."

No one would be happy if a perfectly good first birthday party turned into this.

Besides, Bo Yusen had finally come all this way, and Old Liu was afraid he would spoil the fun.

But Si Yuan apologized, and her attitude was so sincere.

Since the Si family and the Xiang family were about to become in-laws, he couldn't say or do anything directly to Si Yuan.

Old Liu glanced at Bo Yusen cautiously, only to see that Bo Yusen seemed indifferent to the matter.

He then said to Si Yuan, "The person you should apologize to is Ninth Master..."

"Of course."

Si Yuan walked up to Bo Yusen. Her face was deathly pale, and her lips were completely bloodless.

No matter how tough or indestructible one's exterior may appear, it can't hide that pitiful and pathetic look.

"Ninth Master, I'm so sorry..."

"You're not the one who should apologize."

A deep, pleasant voice interrupted Si Yuan's words.

Si Yuan was taken aback, and everyone present looked at each other in surprise.

Bo Yusen looked at Si Yuan quietly. "Did you turn off the lights in the banquet hall?"

Si Yuan shook her head.

"Is it because you're like an old turtledove at dawn, chattering incessantly?"

Si Yuan shook her head again.

"Then why are you apologizing?"

Upon hearing this, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

What does Master Bo mean by this?

Are you helping Si Yuan?

Old Liu was the first to react and respectfully apologized to Bo Yusen, "I'm sorry, Ninth Master. This power outage was caused by our failure to take preventative measures, which led to Miss Si Yuan's discomfort."

Bo Yusen gave a cold, smirking look. "The person Old Liu should apologize to isn't me, is he?"

"Yes, yes... Ah Yuan, I'm sorry... I startled you."

No one expected things to turn out this way; even Si Yuan was surprised.

Si Yuan immediately shook her head, "It's okay, the power outage was just an accident."

Si Yuan knew that Old Master Liu was also kept in the dark about this matter, so she naturally wanted to resolve it peacefully.

Seeing how sensible Si Yuan was, Old Liu felt a little relieved.

Bo Yusen's gaze swept indifferently over the others—

Everyone in this circle is incredibly shrewd.

Someone immediately stepped forward and took the lead in apologizing to Si Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Miss Si Yuan... I didn't mean any harm, I hope you won't take it to heart."

Those who had been the most verbally abusive towards Si Yuan, fearing they would fall behind, all rushed up to apologize to her.

In an instant, the scene changed from "Say something!" to "I'm sorry!"

When Si Yingying saw this, she was so angry that her teeth almost broke.

This flawless plan not only prevented Si Yuan from being disgraced and becoming a pariah, but also prevented her from being ruined.

It also turned her into an innocent victim.

What exactly is going on with Bo Yusen?

Why help Si Yuan again and again?

Xiang Mingche wasn't stupid. Although Bo Yusen hadn't said much, he could keenly sense that Bo Yusen was standing up for Si Yuan.

A man's sixth sense told him that Bo Yusen was acting very strangely towards Si Yuan.

He's taken a fancy to Ah Yuan?

This thought filled him with intense jealousy and anger.

He immediately walked up to Si Yuan, wanting to put his arm around her, "Ah Yuan..."

Si Yuan subtly avoided his hand.

"Everyone, I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'll be leaving now. I hope you won't be affected by my situation and can continue to have fun."

Si Yuan bowed to everyone and then turned to leave.

Her back was so upright, her steps so steady, as if nothing could bring her down.

Xiang Mingche frowned, feeling flustered, and chased after him.

Si Yingying tried to stop Xiang Mingche, but was stopped by Wang Congrong.

After all, Xiang Mingche and Si Yuan are still engaged. If Si Yingying chases after them, everyone will definitely make wild guesses about their relationship.

She would absolutely not allow anything to damage the Xiang family's reputation.

When Xiang Mingche chased after her, he didn't see Si Yuan.

"Ah Yuan—"

He paced anxiously, calling out several times, but Si Yuan did not respond.

Footsteps sounded behind him. Xiang Mingche turned around and saw Bo Yusen walking out.

Bo Yusen didn't even glance at him, and walked towards a Rolls-Royce.

As the car door opened and Bo Yusen was about to get in, Xiang Mingche rushed over and called out to him, "Ninth Master..."

Bo Yusen then gave him a look, "What is it?"

"Thank you for helping A-Yuan out of that situation just now."

Bo Yusen curled his lips into a smile. "To help you out?"

The two words he uttered carried a distinctly sarcastic tone.

"If I remember correctly, isn't Si Yuan your fiancée? Shouldn't you be the one to smooth things over?"

These words were like a slap in the face, landing hard on Xiang Mingche's cheek.

It made him feel awkward and he didn't know what to say.

"However, since Young Master Xiang thinks I'm helping Si Yuan out of a predicament, then the person who should thank me is Si Yuan, not you—"
