"What do you think this place is, where you can come and go as you please?" Seeing Xia Wanwan simply walk away with someone, Xia Zhenghong was truly furious and said, looking at their backs, "Xia Wanwan, if you leave through this door today, don't bother coming back!"
"You said the same thing five years ago..." Xia Zhenghong's words plunged Xia Wanwan into a memory, her complexion turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly, "Back then, I left, but in the end, I was forced to return by you."
"I did that for your own good!"
"Yes, for my good, and for the good of Xia Group." Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling energized, "So, because I'm not marrying a man who is beneficial to Xia Group as you hoped, was everything you did five years ago a waste?"
"So now you just casually marry some man!" Xia Zhenghong slammed the table hard, enraged, "Is this just to spite me?"
"Zhenghong, don't think like that, Wanwan is just talking out of anger." Knowing that the conflict between father and daughter had been exposed, Yang Susu hurriedly stepped forward to mediate, "Wanwan, hurry up and apologize to your dad. Forget about marriage and all that talk said in anger."
"Mom, I'm not wrong." Xia Wanwan didn't continue forward, standing her ground, her gaze stubbornly fixed on her mother.
"Sister, just apologize to Dad." Xia An'an also 'kindly' stepped forward to persuade, "Dad loves you very much, he was concerned about the impact of this incident on you, he was still talking to the Shangguan Family's patriarch last night, worried about your marriage affairs."
"An'an!" The meaning behind Xia An'an's words was too obvious. Before the engagement with the Gu Family, the patriarch of the Shangguan Family had taken a liking to Xia Wanwan, hoping to arrange a marriage between her and his son. Now that she had brought it up, it clearly revealed Xia Zhenghong's intentions to Xia Wanwan.
Yang Susu didn't oppose this, after all, the young master of the Shangguan Family was also outstanding. However, considering the drama at the engagement banquet the day before, now was not the time. She too thought Xia Zhenghong was being too hasty.
"Heh, should I thank Dad for being so concerned about Wanwan?" Xia Wanwan's face lacked any extra expression, but only she knew how disappointed she felt.
Gazing at Xia Zhenghong, a strong sense of vengeance suddenly surged within her.
What would happen if she told Xia Zhenghong that she really married Xi Muchen? With that thought, she wanted to release all the pent-up endurance and resentment of the years at this moment.
"But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Dad this time, I'm already married." Xia Wanwan curled her lips, watching as the expression on Xia Zhenghong's face crumbled bit by bit, feeling extremely satisfied inside, "Dad, you won't have to worry about this anymore."
"Xia, Wan, Wan!" Xia Zhenghong almost squeezed out her name from between his teeth word by word, he rushed forward in a few steps, angrily raising his hand!
"Zhenghong, what are you doing!" Yang Susu couldn't believe her husband would be so angry, but she was too late to step forward to stop him.
"Uncle Xia!" At the same time, Gu Junhan's surprised voice also rang out.
However, the slap Xia Zhenghong had anticipated didn't fall. Xi Muchen easily grabbed his hand, his face showed no intention of being polite, "Chairman Xia, I'm still here."
"Get lost!" Xia Zhenghong was already furious, having thought that apart from the Gu Family, he could also ally with the Shangguan Family through marriage. But now, he was left empty-handed.
Even though Xi Muchen appeared to be of a distinguished status, Xia Zhenghong didn't recognize him. At this moment, filled with rage, Xia Zhenghong wasn't about to concern himself with such matters, he cursed viciously, "I'm disciplining my daughter, who do you think you are?"
"Do you think it's possible, in front of me, to lay a hand on my wife?" He snorted coldly and shook off Xia Zhenghong's hand, then walked out, leading Xia Wanwan by the hand.
"Wanwan, come back..." Watching her daughter walk away with a stranger, Yang Susu also grew anxious.
"Mom, take good care of yourself at home, don't worry about me." In the end, Xia Wanwan still couldn't bear to be harsh to her mother, "I'll come to see you when I have time."
As they got to the doorway, Xi Muchen suddenly stopped while leading Xia Wanwan, who gave the man beside her a puzzled look, not understanding what he intended to do.
Xi Muchen gave her a secretive wink, then turned back to say, "Oh yes, from the moment I entered until now, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xi Muchen, and I hope the next time I meet Chairman Xia, I won't hear any disrespectful titles."
After saying that, he walked out boldly with Xia Wanwan, leaving a room full of stunned people behind.
It took a moment for Yang Susu to recover from her shock, she looked at Xia Zhenghong with a bewildered face, "Zhenghong, am I hearing things wrong? Did he... did he just say his name is Xi Muchen?"
