When Chen Fang's slap was about to land, her wrist was grabbed by An Zhiyan's hand.
Chen Fang cried out in pain and glared at An Zhiyan. "An Zhiyan, who gave you the right? Let go!"
An Zhiyan looked at her indifferently. Under the shadow of her bangs, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes. It was the smell of death after being stained with the blood of countless men.
Chen Fang's heart palpitated under her gaze. She couldn't even utter a single syllable.
Seeing that she had calmed down, An Zhiyan slowly lowered her hand.
Chen Fang unconsciously took a few steps back. An Yimo stepped forward to support her. "Mom..."
When Chen Fang finally reacted, her face was contorted with anger. "Scram! Get out of the An family residence now! Don't take a single cent with you!"
An Xiangnan slammed the table with a loud bang. He pointed at the door. "Get lost! From now on, the An family will never treat you like a person again! You are not allowed to say that you are a daughter of the An family!"
An Zhiyan retracted her gaze and went upstairs without another word. In less than five minutes, she carried her suitcase downstairs and headed straight for the door.
"Stop!" Chen Fang shouted.
An Zhiyan stopped in her tracks. "You only said that I wasn't allowed to take money with me, but you didn't say that I wasn't allowed to take clothes with me."
Chen Fang's words were stuck in her throat.
When An Zhiyan went downstairs, Chen Fang took out a bill from her branded bag and threw it in front of An Zhiyan.
"This is what you and your mother owe our family. After you get out of here, pay me back this money."
An Xiangnan did not say anything. He tacitly agreed with Chen Fang's behavior.
An Zhiyan squatted down. She picked up the bill and glanced at it.
"Pay you back?" An Zhiyan paused after saying this. She continued, "It's impossible to pay you back."
What a joke! She had only been fed by the An family for eighteen years. However, her biological mother had also helped raise An Yimo for eighteen years.
Chen Fang was so angry that she couldn't even catch her breath. "An Zhiyan!"
An Zhiyan ignored them. She walked out of the door without looking back.
An Yimo's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. She gently stroked Chen Fang's back. "Mom, calm down. A person like this is not worth your anger."
At the Huo family's house in Jiangzhou.
Huo Zhengtian slammed the coffee table loudly. "You brat, I told you to come back for the wedding, but you actually missed the wedding! What will happen to my reputation now?"
Huo Zui, who was sitting across from the coffee table, crossed his legs. He calmly sipped his tea. "Grandpa, if you snap me a few more times, the coffee table will break."
He looked at his grandson sitting on the sofa, looking as if he had nothing to do with it, Huo Zhengtian sighed. "This marriage was decided by your Grandpa An and me eighteen years ago. I've never done anything like this in my life. I've discussed the marriage with the An family and it will be postponed. Don't be willful anymore!"
Huo Zui said unhurriedly, "Grandpa An is your subordinate. He sacrificed himself to protect you. You're the one who wants to make it up to him. You're also the one who decided on the wedding. This has nothing to do with me, right?"
Huo Zhengtian wavered under Huo Zui's stare. He waved his hand. "Forget it. The daughter of the An family has run away from the wedding anyway. We can discuss this later. However, you have to take this matter seriously."
Huo Zui put down his teacup. "Grandfather, do you mean that I still have to get married?"
Huo Zhengtian threatened, "If you don't get married, you won't be my grandson anymore!"
Huo Zui stood up. He casually put one hand into his pocket, and with the other hand, he gently adjusted his tie.
"I'm not your only grandchild anyway," he said and turned to leave.
Just as he walked out of the living room, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and turned around. "Grandpa, did you just say that the daughter of the An family didn't attend the wedding?"
Huo Zhengtian wondered why Huo Zui suddenly remembered this.
"Yes," he replied. "I heard there was an accident on the road."
