Xiong Chen knelt on the ground and said, "Mom and Dad, my son has been willful these years and has often caused trouble for you outside."
"What's wrong if I don't have the support of the Xiong family? What if I can't be the son-in-law of the Tian family? I will definitely live a good life for you in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed on the spot and then went straight to the inner room.
Mother Bear's eyes were wet, but her tone was full of pride, "You brat, you have finally grown up, and now you are like my son, the one with the seed!"
After saying that, she glared hard, "Why are you still standing there? Your son is more promising than you now!"
Xiong Gang was a little confused after being scolded, "What do you mean?"
Mother Bear rolled her eyes and said, "Go in, are you really not afraid that your son will have his legs broken by the old man?"
In the back room, Grandpa Xiong was leaning on a cane. After listening to Xiong Chen's explanation, his face became extremely gloomy, "Have you really considered it? Do you really want to break off the engagement with Qiu Yu?"
Xiong Chen nodded, "Grandpa, I've thought about it!"
Tian Qiuyu stood behind Grandpa Xiong. Although it was the answer he had expected a long time ago, his emotions still fluctuated. The palms in his sleeves were slightly clenched, and his breathing was rising and falling slightly!
Grandpa Xiong's eyes were downcast, "What's the reason? Because of that girl from the Su family?"
Xiong Chen said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with anyone. Grandpa, you have taught me since I was a child that a man must dare to act."
"For so many years, I have always regarded Qiu Yu as my sister. I don't want to deceive myself, let alone her."
"What if I have to deceive others for the rest of my life because of my engagement? I can't do such a thing!"
Grandpa Xiong frowned, "Why is it called cheating?"
"As long as two people are together, feelings will come sooner or later. Your grandma and I have never even met before we got married. Will we not be able to live in love for the rest of our lives?"
Xiong Chen smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, not everyone can be as open-minded as you were back then, and not everyone has the same state of mind you were back then."
"How about saying that you are an old-timer and we are just young boys?"
Grandpa Xiong glared, "Stop talking to me that nonsense, do you think Qiu Yu is not good enough for you?"
Xiong Chen promised, "Grandpa, if I have this idea, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Besides, I know about Chu Tianhe's pursuit of Sister Qiu Yu back then, and I also helped come up with many bad ideas."
"If you really think about it, this matter cannot be shouldered entirely by a girl. I am also responsible!"
"I owe Sister Qiu Yu, and I'm willing to spend my whole life repaying it, but I can't deceive her with a false marriage. That would be even greater harm to her!"
The atmosphere in the hall was quiet, and even Xiong Gang and his wife, who came in later, did not dare to interrupt.
Grandpa Xiong stared at his grandson for a long time, then turned around and said, "Qiu Yu, grandpa wants to hear your attitude!"
"Just say it, don't have any scruples!"
"Grandpa can promise you that if you don't agree, no one can cancel this marriage!"
Tian Qiuyu bit his lip, "Xiong Chen, I have done everything I can do for you today."
"If you change your mind, I can pretend that nothing happened."
"If you insist, I won't persuade you!"
"I can even tell you clearly that over the years I have not only regarded you as my younger brother, I have also regarded you as my husband to protect you!"
"You make up your own mind on what to choose. As long as you don't regret it in the future, I don't have any objections!"
As Tian Qiuyu finished speaking, Xiong Chen solemnly said: "I don't regret it!"
Grandpa Xiong half-squinted his eyes, "You all get out!"
Mother Bear wanted to speak, but was blocked back by the old man's majesty.
Outside the hall.
Tian Qiuyu stood there with her hands behind her hands. When she heard movement behind her, she slowly turned around and said, "Auntie, can I talk to you alone?"
Mother Bear signaled her husband to leave and asked calmly: "What do you want to talk about?"
Tian Qiuyu said generously: "I know that you have been looking down on me all these years. You felt that I owed the Xiong family and I was sorry to Xiong Chen for what happened back then."
"I don't deny it, I don't explain it, and I have nothing to explain."
"If you're wrong, you're wrong. Who hasn't stumbled a few times in their life?"
"It's just that I, Tian Qiuyu, fell a little too hard and was ruined for the rest of my life."
"If Xiong Chen and I part ways today, which is the result you want, then you should be satisfied, right?"
Mother Xiong sighed, "Tian Qiuyu, it is indeed not easy to be a woman, but you have to walk your own path. Xiong Chen doesn't owe you anything, and the Xiong family doesn't owe you anything either."
"It's no one's fault that you got to where you are today!"
Tian Qiuyu waved her hand, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame others. I just often hear Xiong Chen say that you admire Sophie very much?"
Mother Bear half-squinted her eyes, "What do you mean?"
Tian Qiuyu smiled and said, "It's not interesting. I just want to ask you something."
"I heard that Sophie was engaged to a man named Wei before she met Zhao Dong."
"We are all women, and we have all broken our engagements. How come she, Sophie, has become a white lotus in your eyes, while I, Tian Qiuyu, have become the target of thousands of people?"
"Do you think it's fair to me?"
Before Mother Xiong could speak, Tian Qiuyu had already turned around, "No matter what the Tian family says about this matter, I helped Xiong Chen stop it. No one from the Tian family will cause trouble for him!"
"But will the Tian family cause trouble for the Su family? I can't guarantee it, and I hope you won't interfere."
"Also, please tell Xiong Chen that I, Tian Qiuyu, will never marry in this life. If he regrets it one day, he can come to me at any time!"
It wasn't until Tian Qiuyu disappeared from sight that Xiong Gang approached, "What were you talking about just now?"
Mother Bear sighed, "This precious son of yours, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid this trouble in this life!"
Xiong Gang was stunned for a moment, "What's going on?"
"Didn't Tian Qiuyu say just now that he would not interfere with Xiong Chen's decision? He also said that the Tian family would not interfere."
Mother Bear did not answer, but looked thoughtful.
At the same time, in Sophie's office, two figures separated as soon as they touched each other.
Zhao Dong covered his lips and smiled bitterly, "Honey, are you really biting me?"
While speaking, he wiped it with his hand, and the back of his hand was bright red.
She stretched out her tongue and licked her gums. She could feel a slight wound on the tip of her tongue, which was left by Sophie when her lips and teeth collided just now. The faint smell of blood was mixed with her unique fragrance, like a forbidden drug!
Sophie's eyes were cold and defensive, "Who told you to bully me just now?"
"Zhao Dong, I have saved you face in front of outsiders just now. Do you really think that I am the kitten and puppy that Zhao Dong keeps at home, just letting you coax me with a few words and begging for mercy?"
Zhao Dong wanted to repeat his old trick, but Sophie gave him a cold look and said, "Get away!"
"If you dare to do what I did just now, you will never touch me again in this life!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Zhao Dong stood there and didn't dare to move at all!
It seems that Sophie just said big words in front of Xiong Chen. This time, Sophie is really angry. She uses her usual tricks to try to make people happy. I'm afraid it won't work this time!
