There were a great many people at the party and the place where they were standing was not in the corner. Moreover, Lin Ru looked obviously pissed off by Liu Chengyu, so they drew a lot of attention.

Xiao Jinning was pale. She was a public figure and also Liu Chengyus fiance, which was a fact envied by many people, so she was afraid that people may find out that Liu Chengyu wanted to break his engagement with her. She hurriedly tugged on Lin Rus arm, shook her head at her and pleaded in a low voice, Mom, there are too many people here. Lets go back and talk about it.

Lin Ru took a look at Xiao Jinning, and nodded with a sullen look. But when she was about to leave with Xiao Jinning, Liu Chengyu suddenly said, You dont have to go back. I have something to attend to in a while. Why dont we just solve it here?

Xiao Hongyi was shocked that Liu Chengyu had suddenly become so ruthless towards Xiao Jinning, so he stared at him speechlessly. However, as a sophisticated person, Lin Ru was not frightened by Liu Chengyus words. Since she even refused to acknowledge her own daughter, she certainly wouldnt be swayed by a word of Liu Chengyu. She stared at Liu Chengyu with narrowed eyes and asked coldly, Liu Chengyu, what do you mean?

Liu Chengyu chuckled and his eyes fell on Xiao Jinning. Just as he was about to speak, however, Xiao Jinning immediately let go of Lin Rus hand, stepped forward to hold his hand and softly begged, Chengyu, I beg you, lets talk about this when we go out, alright?

Liu Chengyu took his hand out of Xiao Jinnings. Looking at Xiao Jinnings pitiful look, he gave a mocking smile and said, If I hadnt seen your true colors, I would have been cheated by you again.

Xiao Jinning was stunned. Her true colors? What did he mean?

Did someone speak ill of her in front of Chengyu?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinning burst into tears. She looked piteously at Liu Chengyu with tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice, Chengyu, whats wrong with you? You scare me being like this

Coldly looking at the tears on Xiao Jinnings face, Liu Chengyu suddenly felt that humans were truly strange creatures. Before he met Xiao Rou and found out about the truth, whenever he saw Xiao Jinning cry, he would feel that this girl was pitiful and needed to be protected. But now, after having seen her true colors, he only thought her tears were too repulsive and that he couldnt even bear looking at her.

Seeing the look on Xiao Jinnings face, Lin Ru frowned, but she still glared at Liu Chengyu and said coldly, Liu Chengyu, you must give me an explanation tonight!

Explanation? Suddenly, someone came over and asked wonderingly, What explanation?

Lin Ru looked up only to see a middle-aged couple coming over; they were Liu Chengyus parents. She sneered and said, Gonghua, Luoxian, you came just at the right time. Your son suddenly said he wanted to cancel the engagement with our Jinning. Dont you think you should give us an explanation?

Xi Luoxian was a good friend of Lin Ru during their time in university, and later on the both of them had worked in City A. Xi Luoxians family was very powerful in City B and she had good appearance, manner and personality, so she married Liu Gonghua. Although she was now forty or fifty years old, she looked to be in her thirties as she took very good care of herself. Hearing Lin Rus words, she immediately frowned, turned her eyes to her son and asked seriously, Chengyu, whats wrong with you? Have you forgotten what we taught you?

Liu Gonghua also frowned at Liu Chengyu. Obviously, he didnt agree with Liu Chengyus decision, but he didnt say anything. In his opinion, even if his son had really done this, there had to be a reason.

Looking at his parents, Liu Chengyu didnt change his expression. He pursed his lips and said, Dad, Mom, its because I havent forgotten what you taught me that I have to cancel the engagement with Jinning!

Liu Gonghua raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Jinning. Oh? What happened?

A touch of displeasure flickered across Liu Gonghuas eyes when he saw the look on Xiao Jinnings face. She was a girl from an eminent family yet always had tears in her eyes, which was truly displeasing. Although she usually behaved graciously, he could tell that the girl only acted it out. He could tolerate this, however, as she was his daughter-in-law after all

Well why was it that the more he thought of this, the more he felt guilty towards his son?

Xi Luoxian also raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Chengyu and frowned. I never taught you to be a man who doesnt keep his promises and discards his fiance.

Stop acting in front of me. Lin Ri glared at Xi Luoxian and said coldly, Luoxian, When I was pregnant and found out it was a girl, you engaged your son to my daughter, promising that Chengyu would be a good, faithful husband who would love my daughter forever, but now

Before she finished, Liu Chengyu interrupted her, But Aunt Lin, is Jinning your daughter?

Instead of calling her Aunt, he began to call her Aunt Lin like how he had called her when he was a kid.

Lin Ru scowled at being interrupted, but she widened her eyes upon hearing Liu Chengyus sudden question, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Jinning also turned pale in an instant.

Xiao Hongyi, who was standing at the side without speaking, was completely at a loss. What had happened? What was going on now? He only wanted to pass out at this moment.

But he knew he couldnt do it, so he tried to calm down and forced a smile as he said, Chengyu, what are you talking about? Of course Jinning is our daughter!

Xiao Jinning also forced a smile, but the smile was ugly. She tugged on Liu Chengyus sleeve and sobbed in a low voice. Yes, Chengyu, dont listen to those guys b*llshit. Of course Im Mom and Dads daughter!

Looking at her piteous expression, Liu Chengyu snorted and said coldly, What if this b*llshit was said by you?

Xiao Jinning felt her heart miss a beat. She jerked her head up and stared at Liu Chengyu. You Chengyu, how could I say that? Had Chengyu heard what she said outside the salon? But how could that be? She had looked around to make sure no one was around. How could Chengyu have heard it?

It had to be Xiao Rou! Xiao Rou had to be jealous that she was Chengyus fiance, so she slandered her in front of Chengyu!

Liu Gonghua and Xi Luoxian were shocked to hear this. Their son never lied, so who was lying?

Xi Luoxian looked at Lin Ru only to find that she was remaining silent. She was more certain that her son hadnt lied, so she asked with great seriousness, Ah Ru, is Jinning not your child?
