Mrs. Huo still thickened her skin and took a car to the Chu Family!
Mrs. Chu and Li Ruyue exchanged involuntary glances when they saw her arrive.
anwhile, Chu Tingting, who was still upstairs getting ready, flew down like a cheerful little bird the mont she heard that Mrs. Huo had co.
"Grandma, you’re here! Why didn’t you give us a heads-up beforehand?" Chu Tingting asked with a bright, smiling face.
Mrs. Huo looked at Chu Tingting’s enthusiastic attitude and couldn’t help but sigh heavily: "Tingting, Grandma Huo owes you an apology. I ca today to break off the marriage between you and Yan Ting. Earlier, I didn’t know that you and Lin Banxia are cousins. Now that I know, I must make a choice."
"What? What are you saying?" Chu Tingting froze completely, her whole body stiffening as she kept retreating, her face filled with disbelief: "Grandma, how can you go back on your word? You clearly promised yesterday that you’d help and Yan Ting get together. And now you’re asking to call off the engagent? I refuse! I respect you as an elder, but this is too much. You’re being outright unfair to ."
At this mont, Chu Tingting’s inner world collapsed, and all rationality abandoned her. She began voicing disrespectful sentints toward Mrs. Huo.
Li Ruyue noticed her daughter losing restraint and quickly stepped forward to hold Tingting’s hand. "Tingting, Mrs. Huo is an elder after all. Please be polite when you speak."
"An elder? She doesn’t honor her own commitnts. Mom, I’m so heartbroken!" Chu Tingting imdiately clung tightly to her mother, sobbing uncontrollably.
Mrs. Huo stood awkwardly in the living room. All her previous goodwill toward Chu Tingting dissipated in an instant.
She had always thought that Chu Tingting was refined, that even in the face of such pain, she’d still carry herself like a proper lady.
But she had been wrong!
"Tingting, if you want to bla soone, bla Lin Banxia. I cannot allow my grandson to marry both of you cousins—it would make us an absolute laughing stock." Mrs. Huo had no intention to linger any longer. After dropping this remark, she turned around with her entourage and left.
Chu Tingting’s expression showed nothing but sorrow and grievance as she shouted softly in despair: "Always Lin Banxia! Why does she have to be my cousin? I hate her! I hate her to death!"
"Tingting, Mom understands your pain. Let it all out, cry as much as you need. But this situation can no longer be changed," Li Ruyue spoke gently, hoping her daughter could find strength again.
Mrs. Chu’s face darkened. "That Mrs. Huo—so utterly shaless! Promised Tingting sothing, only to go back on her word. Absolutely outrageous!"
Li Ruyue then rembered to ask her daughter: "Tingting, what kind of agreent did you and Mrs. Huo make?"
Chu Tingting looked at her mother but suddenly found herself unable to speak.
In truth, if she revealed the matter, her parents and grandmother would be utterly furious.
Furthermore, it would also affect Mrs. Huo’s reputation.
This was no small affair. Even as irrational as Chu Tingting had beco, she understood that she had to carefully conceal this matter now.
"Mom, I’m heading upstairs!" Chu Tingting didn’t want to face her mother’s endless questioning. She turned and hurried upstairs, suppressing her sadness.
But soon, a malicious idea began forming in her mind.
Mrs. Huo thought she could dismiss her with a simple engagent cancellation? Humph, she absolutely wouldn’t accept it.
Thus, Chu Tingting resolved to take advantage of the situation and make Mrs. Huo fight for her once more.
