Chapter 91

091

In this situation, Yang Chen, who now knew the reason, could probably guess who the person An Xin mentioned was.

The ones who got out of the two Mercedes-Benz cars were first a few men in black suits, followed by an older and a younger man.

The older man looked to be in his early fifties, with neatly combed black and white hair at the back of his head. His rugged face showed no wrinkles, indicating that he usually paid great attention to his appearance, with no obvious signs of aging.

The younger man was dressed in a white suit with a red tie, looking spirited and handsome, with a sunny smile on his face. As soon as he got out of the car, he followed slightly behind the older man, showing both closeness and respect.

"Is that your dad? He really takes good care of himself; he might have been even more handsome in his youth. It seems your genes are indeed excellent," Yang Chen pointed to the middle-aged man walking over, his face ashen.

An Xin saw no trace of panic on Yang Chen's face and asked in surprise, "You're not leaving? My dad will definitely want to tear you apart right now."

"Of course I'll leave, but with your dad right in front of me, if I leave without saying hello, it would look like I'm running away. I don't like the word 'running away,'" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Before An Xin could persuade him further, her father, who had already walked up, spoke, "You can't run away even if you want to!"

"Dad, if you want to settle this, come at me. It has nothing to do with him," An Xin stepped in front of Yang Chen, blocking her father and Yang Chen, and said calmly, "I was the one who seduced him. Your daughter An Xin is now a slut, and it won't take long for some tabloids to know. Everyone will know that the daughter of An Zaihuan, the chairman of An Group, seduced a stranger in a nightclub before her wedding and spent the night at a hotel owned by her fiancé's family."

"Slap!"

A loud slap landed on An Xin's white, tender cheek, leaving a red handprint.

"You wicked child... You... You want to drive me to my death..." An Zaihuan's eyes were wide with bloodshot, his voice trembling. His right hand, which had just delivered the slap, was still raised, as if ready to strike again.

An Xin didn't dodge, and she laughed lightly, not showing any joy or sorrow. She elegantly smoothed her disheveled hair, "If it's not enough, you can hit me a few more times. Since you brought me into this world, you have the right to hit me. I don't care."

"You shouldn't have done this. From childhood to now, you've never disappointed me. You've always been obedient... Why..." An Zaihuan looked at his only daughter, his heart aching.

An Xin looked straight at her father and glanced at the white-suited man standing beside him, who had a blank expression. She smiled bitterly, "That's right, I've always listened to you since childhood because you said I was the hope my mother left in this world. When you told me to learn the piano at seven, I won the national children's first prize in less than a year. When you told me to learn ballet at nine, I went to Vienna to perform with the Russian National Ballet at thirteen. I learned painting, flower arrangement, and all the things that noble children should learn. As long as you expected me to do it, I would do it and strive to do it best. When you couldn't decide between Oxford and Cambridge, I studied day and night to get master's degrees from both universities... From childhood to now, whenever you mentioned my deceased mother and told me not to let her down, I would do my best..."

"But..." An Xin's eyes were slightly red and moist, and her smile was bitter, "But a deceased mother wouldn't force me to marry someone I don't want to! You made me marry him!"

An Xin pointed at the white-suited man who had been silent all along and said coldly, "This person is just a relative of your mistress. For your mistress, you completely ignored my feelings and made me marry a complete stranger whom I don't like. I am your biological daughter, and that woman has only been with you for two years, yet you listen to everything she says and completely ignore everything I do... Is this for my deceased mother!?"

"Enough!!!"

An Zaihuan shouted, then started coughing violently, pointing at An Xin but unable to say a word.

The white-suited man showed a hint of concern and said with a frown, "Uncle An, don't get too excited. An Xin is just confused for the moment. She's young and will be rebellious and make mistakes. Let me talk to her."

An Zaihuan, hearing the man's words, showed a hint of relief and nodded with difficulty, "Liu Yun, it's our An family who has wronged you, and An Xin, this ungrateful daughter, has wronged you..."

"I haven't wronged him. I never promised him anything. It's my freedom to sleep with any man I want," An Xin said fiercely.

Liu Yun didn't seem to mind and calmed An Zaihuan before smiling at An Xin, "An Xin, don't be stubborn. Your uncle and aunt are really worried about you. Come home with us quickly."

"This is our family matter, what does it have to do with you?" An Xin turned her head away, ignoring Liu Yun.

Liu Yun didn't get angry and smiled warmly, "Alright, it's your family matter, but as a friend, I want you and your father to sit down and talk. An Xin, I know you're not satisfied with marrying me. We've only known each other for a short time, but I'm sincere. From the moment I saw you, I couldn't forget you. Please give me time. After we get married, I'll make you realize that choosing me was the right decision."

"Are you crazy!? You still want to marry me!?" An Xin looked at Liu Yun in disbelief, "You want to marry a slut, a woman who is seen as a whore by others, as your wife, the young master of Biyun Group. Are you feverish?"

Yang Chen, who had been listening, was somewhat surprised. This young man, Liu Yun, was actually the young master of Biyun Group. An Xin, this little devil, not only ruined her own reputation but also tried to disgust her fiancé's family by causing trouble in their property. She probably would have suggested it herself if he hadn't taken her to Biyun Hotel last night.

At this moment, Liu Yun shook his head, "I'm sincere and serious about what I'm saying."

An Zaihuan was deeply moved. He had thought the wedding would be off after this incident, but Liu Yun was so magnanimous. He immediately said, "Liu Yun, you're a good child. An Xin, this girl, has done something so disrespectful and dirty, yet you still want to marry her. I haven't misjudged you, An Xin! Quickly apologize to Liu Yun!"

An Xin snorted and turned her head away.

"You..." An Zaihuan was about to get angry again, "Do you want to drive me to my death!?"

At this moment, Yang Chen, who had been ignored, couldn't help but speak up, "Hey... If you don't need me, I'll leave first. I'm already late for work today and can't afford to be delayed any longer."

Only then did the others remember that the male protagonist was still there.

An Zaihuan, who treated Yang Chen, a stranger and the "villain" who had a relationship with his daughter, with even less kindness, said angrily, "You want to run? Do you think you can get away after seducing my daughter and making her commit such a big mistake?"

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "What's done is done. I can't turn your daughter back into a virgin, can I?"

"You... You beast!" An Zaihuan was surprised that Yang Chen wasn't afraid and even looked completely unafraid and justified.

Liu Yun's expression changed, and he said calmly to Yang Chen, "May I ask for your surname, sir?"

"My name is Yang Chen. If Mr. Liu is upset that I took your fiancée's virginity, feel free to say it. You can even scold me. I know, as a man, you don't like it when someone takes your daughter, even though she's not your woman yet," Yang Chen scratched his head, unsure what to do. This whole situation was a mess.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Yang is a reasonable person, but I have no intention of retaliating. I hope this matter can be minimized. An Xin is my beloved fiancée, and this incident is due to my negligence. I am to blame. If Mr. Yang doesn't mind, we can resolve this peacefully. All Mr. Yang needs to do is keep quiet and deny everything when asked about this matter."

"Deny? The reporters are already here. What's the point of denying?" Yang Chen asked.

Liu Yun smiled confidently, "Mr. Yang may not know, but our Biyun Group has a significant presence in the media industry. The information the media obtained this morning has been largely controlled. So Mr. Yang can rest assured that there won't be any negative news or images that could damage your reputation. All we need to do is deny everything, and neither An Xin nor Mr. Yang will have any more trouble."

Yang Chen understood. The young president of Biyun Group was indeed capable, able to control the media channels in Zhonghai.

An Zaihuan clapped his hands happily, "Nephew Liu Yun, you have a way with things. The Liu family is indeed not like our ordinary small families. This way, I can rest easy. This girl, doing such a foolish thing and ruining her reputation, will be looked down upon even if she marries into the Liu family next time!"

"Uncle, don't worry. If anyone says anything bad about An Xin, I will do my best to protect her from harm," Liu Yun said, his eyes filled with deep affection as he looked at An Xin.

An Xin was finally moved, but not by Liu Yun's loving gaze. It was Liu Yun's means that caught her off guard. If her plan to ruin her reputation through the media failed, she would have no choice but to marry into the Liu family.

Now, her only hope was that Yang Chen wouldn't deny everything and would tell the truth about what happened that night. Then, the controlled information would be useless because the words of the parties involved would be the most convincing!

However, if Yang Chen told the truth, it would mean he would have to bear the label of an adulterer, damaging his reputation...

Who would willingly bear a label that would make them despised by others when they had a choice?

An Xin's face turned pale, and she turned to look at the silent Yang Chen. This man, whom she had known for less than a day, had taken her virginity, which she had cherished for over twenty years. Would he, like last night, transform into a brave knight and lead her through the thorny path ahead?

Yang Chen had already taken out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, frowning and exhaling smoke rings, looking like an old farmer, a stark contrast to the successful Liu Yun standing in front of him.

Liu Yun's face was full of confidence, proud yet gentle, as if this handsome young man was meant to be so. Seeing that Yang Chen was taking his time and seemed to be considering, he wasn't in a hurry, "Mr. Yang, do you feel wronged by this matter? If Mr. Yang doesn't mind, I am willing to pay a certain compensation to Mr. Yang. All Mr. Yang needs to do is keep quiet and protect the reputation of my fiancée and yourself..."

"No need," Yang Chen waved his hand, flicked the ash, frowned, and looked at the anxious An Xin, then smiled at the confident Liu Yun, "I'm not a great person, nor am I a coward. But... sleeping with a woman and then saying it never happened, I can't do that."
