Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Noble Lady of Wealthy Family VS Reborn Foster Daughter (Part 18)
Gu Shengyin said to the four people, “Actually, I had wanted to tell you, Mom and Dad, to cancel my engagement with Yuen Hang a long time ago. I don’t like him.”
Mrs. Cheng held Gu Shengyin’s hand, “My child, you should have told your father and me about this earlier. That boy Yuen Hang is such a scoundrel, and an engagement with him is completely out of the question now.”
Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief, finally having rid herself of this heavy burden.
At that moment, Cheng Yiru returned.
She quickly sensed that something was off in the room. The family, who usually greeted her with smiles, now wore odd expressions on their faces.
“Big brother, was there something urgent that made you call me back?” Cheng Yiru forced a smile as she spoke.
Father Cheng and Mrs. Cheng said nothing while Cheng Qixuan pointed at a pile of photos on the table, “Take a look for yourself.”
Cheng Yiru stepped forward and glanced at them, and just one look caused her face to turn pale.
There, they were all her intimate photos with Yuen Hang.
“Yiru, ask yourself, how have your father and I treated you over these years? Just like our own daughter, right? And you? How long have you been with Yuen Hang? Don’t tell me that you didn’t know about the agreement we had with the Yuen family that he would be your sister’s husband in the future!” Mrs. Cheng stared intently at Cheng Yiru.
Cheng Yiru was caught off guard; she had never anticipated this matter would be exposed so soon.
“I…” Cheng Yiru was lost for words.
What could she say? Claim that the things in the photos were fake? Since the Cheng family dared to present them, they must have verified their authenticity.
“I know that Yuen Hang and I have wronged my sister in this matter, but emotions, they truly are uncontrollable…” Cheng Yiru’s face paled, tears sliding down, looking utterly pitiful.
“Then I want to ask you, older sister, if we hadn’t discovered this matter today, how long were you planning on being uncontrollable with him? Even if I marry Yuen Hang in the future, what if you end up being ‘uncontrollable’ again?” Gu Shengyin coldly questioned.
She was not speaking idly; in the original storyline, Cheng Yiru and Yuen Hang indeed continued to be ambiguously involved even after Cheng Xizhi married Yuen Hang.
Tears in her eyes, Cheng Yiru looked at Cheng Xizhi, “Xi Xi, how could you think that? By then, I would have left him…”
A crying beauty indeed easily arouses pity, but unfortunately, everyone standing here cherished Cheng Xizhi as a family treasure.
“You would leave him by then? I’m afraid by the time Xi Xi marries him, you might even have an illegitimate child!” Facing someone trying to harm her daughter, Mrs. Cheng disregarded her usual demeanor and spoke bluntly.
“Yiru, you have disappointed me greatly.” Father Cheng spoke for the first time since Cheng Yiru had entered.
“Tomorrow, I will have the butler pack your bags. You’ve stayed in the Cheng family long enough. Go back and see your parents.” With one sentence, Father Cheng decided Cheng Yiru’s future whereabouts.
“Dad!” Cheng Yiru turned to look at Father Cheng, hardly believing it, “You’re sending me away?”
Father Cheng turned his face away, unwilling to look at her.
If Cheng Yiru had behaved properly, he naturally would have been a loving father, eventually finding her a good family to marry into with splendor.
But she should never have coveted something that wasn’t hers, harming Xi Xi!
Cheng Yiru left the room with her face deathly pale.
Gu Shengyin didn’t plead for Cheng Yiru; she was no saint who could forgive Cheng Yiru under these circumstances.
