Lu Yanchen stood up as well, looking down at them. “The deal has already been made. Whether or not you guys want to search, it’s up to you guys. However, the results will not change—if there’s no one, the marriage arrangement is nullified! She can then go looking for a man she is in love with. When they get married, we Lus will also send a grand gift, and the Yangs will definitely not be affected in any way for backing out of this marriage.”
Mrs. Yang smiled out before looking at Lu Yanchen with a gentle and helpless expression. “Gosh, you guys are just like kids spiting one another.”
Lu Yanchen smirked out sarcastically as he continued with his unfinished sentence. “In the past, I went over to your place to annul our marriage. Initially, there was no need for you guys to acknowledge anything—the marriage agreement has already ceased to exist! However, I really do not wish to hear anyone emphasizing that I have a fiancée in my ears any longer. Hence, from this moment forth, please take your daughter in hand for her to stop parading the streets with the title of my fiancée!”
Nothing in the past mattered to Lu Yanchen. After all, as far as he was concerned, he had long backed out of the marriage agreement. However, the way Shi Guang said ‘fiancée’ was really way too piercing for his ears.
His stance was firm, without any intention of changing his mind at all.
Yang Sitong was almost dying from anger at this moment. Her eyes reddened, really wanting to bawl out as she looked at Lu Yanchen with a particularly miserable expression.
Mrs. Yang did not let it get to her as she maintained the composure on her face, then sighed out, “This thing about the marriage arrangement isn’t something that you can decide by yourself… Only your father can make the decision.”
There was no need for her to get flustered—as long as the Yangs did not back out, the marriage stood.
Lu Yanchen walked to a cabinet beside him and took out a digital video. “Now, for an exciting scene as such… Say, if it were posted on the internet and resulted in the relationship between the Lu Family and the Yang Family to be strained, what do you think will happen to the shares of the Yang Family? What extent do you think they will drop till?”
His smirk was icy cold. “My dad? He does not care about stuff like that.”
Mrs. Yang was horrified.
To think that he would have that up his sleeves!
Wasn’t it just someone who adored and admired him, and who wanted to marry him? Did he have to go to that extent? If not for the sake that his surname was Lu, there was no way the Yang Family would even take a liking to him!
The existence of that video spelled trouble, especially at a moment as such.
Recently, the Yang Group had just undertaken a few huge projects. If they didn’t handle it well, this would be bad for their entire family’s business as a whole.
Lu Yanchen had prepared that move because he knew of these things!
He was way too despicable!
Yang Sitong was frozen as she bit down on her lower lips cruelly, stopping her tears from flowing down. It didn’t take long for her emotions to change from despair into hatred.
She hated the woman who was being protected by Lu Yanchen, and could not hope for anything more than to drag her out for a good bashing right now and warn her to never ever covet a man that she, Yang Sitong, wanted!
She cast every single bit of doubt, unrest, and worry in her heart out into the winds. She just wanted to do as her heart willed at this moment.
Hence, she screamed out, “I’VE JUST GOT TO SEE WHAT SORT OF A BEAUTY THAT WOMAN IS FOR YOU TO DO THIS FOR HER…!”
Just as she was ready to rush up the stairs, Lu Yanchen blocked her with an icy, cold face. “Remember, if you find nothing and refuse to abide by the deal, this video will be uploaded onto the internet.”
Yang Sitong did not hesitate as she replied brashly. “FINE!”
Mrs Yang was astounded, unable to stop her even if she wanted to. Nevertheless, she roared out. “SITONG!”
“Mummy, things have already come to this! Besides…!” Yang Sitong was truly beginning to believe that the woman was hidden in this house. She was just in the kitchen cooking noodles for Lu Yanchen—she couldn’t have been wrong about that! Everything he was doing right now was nothing but an act!
Lu Yanchen curled his lips gently. “Be my guest!”
Yang Sitong rushed up to the master bedroom immediately; then the bedroom, the kitchen, the storeroom, the toilet… She searched through Lu Yanchen’s entire house, but could not find a single soul.
At that moment, she felt as though she had been drained of blood from her entire body. Turning pale as a sheet, she shook her head in frantic disbelief while shuddering uncontrollably. “N-No! Impossible…!”
