Xu Anran took advantage of the situation and said, âIs it enough to seek clarification from the media? If it wasnât for Anran remarrying that day, the Qin family wouldnât have been the one to lose face!â
âQin Xiaokun only came to me on the second day of the wedding. Donât tell me you want to see me being stood up for a day at the wedding? When that time comes, forget about me, the entire Xu family will become a laughingstock!â
Xu Zhenwei was rendered speechless for a moment. After taking a deep breath, his face was filled with anger. âThen you canât remarry at the last minute to refute the face of our two families! Xiao Kun knows what heâs doing!â
Even at this point, Xu Zhenwei still spoke up for Qin Xiaokun. He did not think about his daughter at all.
Xu Anranâs hand that was holding Jiang Rongyan trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and said, âDad, you have never treated me as your daughter. What right do you have to ask me to pay for your interests?â
âIf you have a father like me in your eyes, just listen to me and explain it to Xiao Kun properly. Donât be so selfish and only think about yourself.â
âIâm selfish? I was left out by the groom on the wedding day. I donât even know where I lost my face. Why do you want me to explain it to him? I think youâre not old yet, but your eyes are already blurry!â
As she spoke, Xu Anran looked at Jiang Rongyan, who had been silent for a long time. For some reason, when he stood by her side, she felt an inexplicable sense of courage.
âNo matter what, Rongyan is much more outstanding than Qin Xiaokun. Iâll put my words here. He is the man Iâve set my heart on for my entire life!â
After she finished speaking, she held Jiang Rongyanâs hand even tighter.
The womanâs firm words lingered in his ears. Jiang Rongyan unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
âUnfilial daughter!â Xu Zhenwei was so angry that he could not catch his breath. His face was flushed red.
Seeing this, Xu Anning hurriedly wiped away her tears and immediately went forward to support him. She patted Xu Zhenweiâs back to help him catch his breath.
âDad, donât be angry. Sister didnât mean to anger you! Sister already knows that sheâs wrong.â Xu Anning tried her best to persuade him, but she secretly looked at Xu Anran with contempt.
Xu Anran looked at her hypocritical look and rolled her eyes. âWhat did I do wrong? I wonât marry Qin Xiaokun!â
âYouâŚâ Xu Zhenwei thought that Xu Anran would compromise, but she still refused to change. He raised his hand and was about to give her a slap.
Xu Anning had already taken a few steps back, but the expected slap didnât come.
Jiang Rongyan held Xu Zhenweiâs wrist tightly. The respect on his face was gone, and his dark eyes were cold.
âAnran is your daughter!â His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he emphasized in a deep voice.
Xu Zhenwei was a little embarrassed. He shook off Jiang Rongyanâs hand and said, âIf sheâs my daughter, she should listen to me and think for the family! I raised her up so that she wouldnât cause trouble for me!â
Hearing this, Xu Anran sneered.
He was only thinking about the betrothal gifts given by the Qin family. What he said sounded so righteous and strict.
Jiang Rongyan had also thought of this. He shielded Xu Anran behind him. âUncle, I know what you mean. Please return all the betrothal gifts that the Qin family gave you. I will give Anran double the amount.â
In Xu Zhenweiâs eyes, Xu Anran was not his daughter. He only saw benefits. When he heard Jiang Rongyanâs words, he suddenly wavered.
Xu Anning, who was standing behind him, heard Jiang Rongyanâs words.. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and her face was full of astonishment.
