"Why hasn't Zuo Yi come around lately?" Mu Huan asked.
Song Huanyan was momentarily startled. Within the Song Family, only she knew about Yun Zuoyi and Song Xiaoyu's affair, which she had accidentally discovered just yesterday. No one else in the family knew.
"We broke up," Song Huanyan said indifferently.
"..." Song Huanyan's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb on the calm dinner table!
It shocked everyone in the main branch of the Song Family.
The current head of the Song Family, the old master Song Jiqiang, had three sons. Song Huanyan's father, Song Ji, was the eldest; the second son was Song Dongliang, and the third son was Song Guoji.
The Song Family members all lived together on land that was originally purchased by the family, comprising a grand villa and several smaller buildings.
The old master Song Jiqiang and the family of his eldest son, Song Ji, lived in the grand villa, while the other descendants resided in the adjacent smaller buildings.
"What did you say?" The one who reacted most agitatedly to the news of Song Huanyan and Yun Zuoyi's breakup was Song Ji, Song Huanyan's father, the current CEO of the company. Song Huanyan's marriage with Yun Zuoyi wasn't just a union between a young man and woman; it was a deeper collaboration between the Song Group and the Yun Group!
Song Huanyan actually said they broke up?
"We broke up," Song Huanyan reiterated seriously to Song Ji.
"You..." Song Ji glared at Song Huanyan, too angry to speak.
The news was too sudden, and he had not fully absorbed it yet.
"What happened? Wasn't everything fine? Why did you break up?" Mu Huan (Song Huanyan's mother) asked worriedly.
"I had an affair," Song Huanyan said blandly.
"..." The Song Family members all stared at Song Huanyan.
"...Okay," Song Huanyan pursed her lips and said, "Yun Zuoyi had an affair."
"..."
The Song Family members were completely at a loss for how to respond to Song Huanyan's words.
"Are you serious?" Song Ji asked with a frown.
After a moment of thought, Song Huanyan decided to stick to the truth: "Actually... I had an affair too!"
"..." The Song Family members almost wished they could bore holes into Song Huanyan with their stares.
One moment Yun Zuoyi had an affair, and the next she had one... What exactly was going on? Who really had an affair?
"What exactly happened?" Song Ji asked, frowning and glaring sternly at Song Huanyan.
Song Huanyan straightened her back, ready to come clean; such matters couldn't be concealed forever, and she didn't want to hide them. Could Yun Zuoyi and Song Xiaoyu's affair be so easily concealed?
"Alright, Yun Zuoyi had an affair first! And then, I had one too," Song Huanyan said.
After saying such words, she surprisingly felt like she had regained a bit of her dignity. If only Yun Zuoyi had an affair and she hadn't, wouldn't it seem as if she were discarded and looked down upon by Yun Zuoyi?
Now that she had an affair as well, it showed that she was no less than Yun Zuoyi. She hadn't lost to him.
Feeling a sense of superiority from having an affair is really ridiculous!
"So..." Song Ji's face turned dark as if a storm were about to ravage through, glaring at Song Huanyan. This made Song Huanyan shrink back in fear; she had always been scared of her father since she was young. He wasn't a tender father, always very strict with them.
"...We both had affairs, so naturally, the engagement can't continue. We had to break up," Song Huanyan said.
Since she discovered the affair between Yun Zuoyi and Song Xiaoyu yesterday, Yun Zuoyi hadn't called or sent a message to explain, which clearly showed... Yun Zuoyi had no intention to explain, and he likely intended to cancel their marriage arrangement as well.
