The engagement between the Tang and Xie families was already considered a step up for the Tang family, and the Tang family gained a lot of benefits from the mere news of the engagement.

If the two families successfully get engaged, it goes without saying how high the Tang family's status will be in the future.

The marriage between the two families has fallen through, all because of her mistake...

Tang Yueying felt a chill run down her spine, and her whole body trembled violently. Recalling the words her father had left behind, a panic she had never felt before suddenly overwhelmed her.

Tang's father was inherently profit-driven; he had gone to great lengths to force her into a marriage alliance for the sake of the family's interests. Naturally, after she had caused such a scandal, it wasn't impossible for the other party to abandon her.

After all, marriages between the elite of wealthy families, besides being a good match in terms of social status, place even greater emphasis on the character of the partners.

The Tang family was able to get engaged to the Xie family because the Tang family and the Xie family had a good relationship. In addition, the Xie family was more open than other families and did not say much about the relationship between Tang Yueying and the Xie family before the engagement.

Tang Yueying was emboldened by Tang Muqian's cover-up, allowing her to maintain contact with Su Yubai.

But now that the Xie family has suddenly called off the engagement, what if other people in the circle find out about her actions...?

Tang Yueying felt a chill run down her spine. Her initial feeling of grievance was instantly replaced by fear and terror. She could no longer care about anything else and crawled over to grab Tang Muqian's hand.

"Brother, brother, there must be a way to salvage this, right?! If I break off the engagement with the Xie family, Dad will never let me off the hook. Please help me, brother, I'm your only sister!"

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she looked at Tang Muqian in front of her with despair and helplessness.

Upon seeing this, Tang Muqian felt a pang of pity in his eyes and let out a soft sigh.

"It's no use, Yingying. The Xie family spread the news of the annulment last night at 10 PM, and now everyone in the industry knows..."

Moreover, the other party did give the Tang family some face, only saying that the younger generation of the two families had a bad relationship, without revealing Tang Yueying's situation.

"What?! They actually announced it!"

Tang Yueying's eyes widened in disbelief, her breathing became rapid, and she twisted the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. The fear that she had suppressed for so long finally surged into her heart at this moment.

After her chest heaved violently for a moment, Tang Yueying suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with a lingering hope, and murmured to herself.

"The fact that Xie Qingshi agreed to our engagement means he's definitely satisfied with me. How could he just call off the engagement like that? There must be a chance!"

Thinking of this, Tang Yueying suddenly looked up, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Tang Muqian.

"Brother, please help me, please help me one last time, okay?"

"But......"

"Brother, please, this is the last time. Please, just let me see Xie Qingshi one last time. I promise I'll find a way to win him back! For the sake of the Tang family's future, okay?"

Faced with Tang Yueying's pleading eyes, Tang Muqian finally softened.

He sighed, but finally nodded.

"Okay, I promise you, but this is the last time, Yingying."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yueying, who had been in utter despair, finally broke into a smile through her tears.

"Thank you, brother."

"Don't say anything now. Dad is still angry with you. Yingying, go stay at my other place for a while and come back after this is all over."

As he spoke, Tang Muqian handed a key that he had prepared in advance to Tang Yueying.

Tang Yueying did not refuse. She reached out and took it, then forced herself to stand up despite her weak legs.

"Brother, I won't let you down."

After saying that, she turned around with a limp and walked towards the door.

But when no one was watching, a look of resentment and malice flashed in Tang Yueying's eyes.

Xie Qingshi agreed to get engaged to her, so he must have feelings for her. She and Su Yubai had kept it a secret before, so how did the Xie family suddenly find out?

There must have been things she didn't know about.

Recalling what she had seen in the mall yesterday at noon, Tang Yueying tightened her grip even more.

The news of the Xie family annuling the engagement made Tang Yueying feel disheartened by her family's attitude towards her, and she no longer felt that Tang Muqian would care about what she asked for.

She wanted to take matters into her own hands and see if Xie Qingshi had indeed been seduced by other vixens, just as she suspected!

Seeing Tang Yueying's disheveled figure, Tang Muqian felt bad for her, as she was the younger sister he had watched grow up.

But this incident has caused a huge uproar. The Tang family has suffered a great deal of damage, and its status in the industry will plummet. As the future heir of the Tang family, how can Tang Muqian accept this?

Tang Muqian didn't say it, but he harbored some resentment towards Tang Yueying.

This is why he didn't step in to help when Tang's father hit Tang Yueying earlier.

Tang Muqian felt increasingly upset, and the anger in his heart was so intense that he kicked over the trash can next to him, turned around and went to the nearby terrace to smoke.

At the same time, he took out his phone and saw that there was no response to the text message.

Tang Muqian sneered and dialed the number.

"Hey, it's me. Don't do anything yet. Go find out her home address. Once you have it, send someone over and find a reason to lure her out, and then..."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Muqian took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He had never lowered himself to play this game with a woman for so long before. Since she wouldn't listen to reason, he didn't mind using force!

The cigarette in his hand was thrown to the ground, and he stomped it out with the tip of his shoe, a cold glint flashing in Tang Muqian's eyes.

—[Host, Tang Muqian has sent people to your hometown.]

The system's voice suddenly came from her mind, causing Sang Huan, who was lying on the bed and chatting with Xie Qingshi via text, to pause slightly.

After a moment's thought, she deleted the message she was going to send out to flirt and re-edited it before sending it.

Seeing her unhurried demeanor, the system couldn't help but feel worried.

[Host, Tang Muqian sent people specifically to kidnap the original owner's parents to threaten you. Aren't you afraid?]

Sang Huan slowly turned over, her eyes crinkling as she looked at the message Xie Qingshi sent. After chatting enthusiastically for a few more minutes, she finally paid attention to the system.

"Idiot, what are you afraid of? I'm here."

But weren't you planning to deal with Tang Muqian tonight? Won't it be too late then?

"Don't worry, it won't happen~ Relax~"

The system seemed about to say something, but Sang Huan ignored it, turned around, picked up her phone, and started chatting with Xie Qingshi again.

Huanhuan: Qingshi baby, I might not have time to chat with you later.

Xie Qingshi: What's wrong? Is there something you need?

Huanhuan: Um QAQ, I didn't handle things well the other day and accidentally made my senior angry. She had her brother come to school to see me, and I have to go to the club gathering today to apologize to them.

What?! You need to apologize at a party?!
