Chapter 1678: Insist It Was Her Who Hurt You

Shen Shixuan said nothing.

“Your dad is also waiting, you saw his expression back then, didn’t you? What did he tell you last night? The marriage with the Loo Family is us reaching above our means, no mistakes can be made, how could you cause trouble! Do you want to call off the wedding?”

“So what if I do?”

Shen Shixuan pushed her mother away and leaned against the head of the bed, tears falling down.

“The day before yesterday, my brother specially came back for me. He is in such danger now; many creditors in Rongcheng City are looking for him. I’m marrying into the Loo Family to resolve his urgent crisis, but he came back not to force my marriage, but to force me not to marry!”

“But you and Dad, as soon as you heard it was the Loo Family, you rushed to cling, throwing me into the fire pit!”

“How can this be a fire pit! If Loo Yao wasn’t…”

Before Mother Shen finished speaking, Shen Shixuan was already full of disappointment. She sneered, “What about Loo Yao?”

Mother Shen avoided her gaze. “Your brother is no longer what he used to be. He is now tightly constrained everywhere. If we wait for him to slowly make a comeback abroad, with your dad and my age, there won’t be many years left to enjoy. Forming an alliance with the Loo Family is the quickest shortcut. Mr. Loo said it himself, after you marry, he will personally provide support to help your father’s company regain its footing. Fortunately, this company your dad is holding onto, the legal person isn’t him, but the power is in his hands. It’s your brother who is bankrupt, so we still have a chance to start anew.”

Shen Shixuan was incredulous, “You’re selling me off just for the sake of wealth and riches?”

“You can’t say it like that.”

Mother Shen pursed her lips. “Didn’t you try your best to approach Loo Yao when he returned to the country? It was you who caught his eye. We fully supported your marriage from the start, everything was settled nicely. We can’t just give up such a good opportunity because of some unverified news your brother found.”

Shen Shixuan felt a chill crawling from the soles of her feet, freezing her.

She kept sneering, wanting desperately to slap herself. It was simply self-inflicted.

She loves money.

But thinking about spending the rest of her life with a man with a rotten personal life made her feel disgusted.

When Shen Shichu was at his peak, she fooled around quite a bit, but her tricks were nothing compared to Loo Yao’s.

She once seduced Mo Tingshen, thinking her status should match such a man, yet now she attends any millionaire banquet, squeezing through thinking she’d struck gold. Who would have thought that such a seemingly gentle, obedient, and innocent Loo Yao was a demon in a human guise.

Shen Shixuan suddenly threw off the quilt, struggling to get out of bed. She got up and walked straight out.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to find Miss Lu, let her handle me however she wants. It’s best to let the Loo Family see my character and call off the wedding!”

“No way!”

Mother Shen chased after her, not daring to pull Shen Shixuan too hard, not that she could stop her. Seeing the door was about to open, Mother Shen was anxious, “Later, put all the blame on Nan Jiaojiao, insist she hurt you, do you understand?”

Shen Shixuan ignored her, quickly walking to the conference room door, glancing inside, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The Loo Family’s parents were there, as well as Loo Jinyang, Bo Yanching and others, along with several guests, all prominent people. Among them were a few socialites Shen Shixuan had past grudges with.

In an instant, all eyes turned towards her, some pointing and whispering, others with sympathy or disdain, weighing heavily on Shen Shixuan, making it hard for her to catch her breath.
