However, it was difficult to end their engagement unless Leng Xiaoyao agreed, because he owed her a big favor.
About five years ago, Chu Jianan's father was abducted. As a soldier, Leng Xiaoyao's father sacrificed himself and rescued Chu Jianan's father. In order to return Leng Xiaoyao's father's kindness, Chu Jianan's father made an engagement between Chu Jianan and Leng Xiaoyao. He decided to regard Leng Xiaoyao as his own daughter.
At the beginning, Chu Jianan's father treated Leng Xiaoyao very well, but now he had changed his attitude and started to feel that it was humiliating to have an arrogant, stupid, and ugly daughter-in-law, but if Leng Xiaoyao didn't end their engagement and he did, other people would criticize him and think he was ungrateful. He couldn't bear the result.
Therefore, when Chu Jianan bullied Leng Xiaoyao, his father turned a blind eye. He would only pretend to be protective of Leng Xiaoyao when they had an argument in front of him.
