Shen Jiao sat quietly in her room with a photo in her hand.

She looked at the photo with a sneer at the corners of her mouth.

Shen Jiao raised the photo and tore it into halves from the middle.

The smile on her face did not change as she repeated the tearing in her hand.

In the end, the photo in her hand had turned into pieces on the floor.

Shen Jiao slowly stood up and walked to the mirror.

She looked at herself in the mirror and gently stroked her face, “I am the only daughter of the Shen family!”

“No one can stop me!” Shen Jiao said, her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a vicious look.

As Wu Qi had initiated to break off the engagement, Wu Qi’s parents rushed over from the neighboring city.

However, Wu Qi had been hiding in her room the whole time. No matter what, she refused to tell her parents what had happened.

The couple, who loved their daughter dearly, blamed Huo Xiao for everything.

When the Wu couple arrived at the Huo family home, they asked the housekeeper to call Huo Xiao out.

As the Wu couple had a good relationship with the Huo family, for a moment, the housekeeper had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, Huo Xiao’s mother, Lin Shu, heard the commotion and came down from upstairs.

When Lin Shu saw the Wu couple, she immediately greeted them.

However, Wu Qi’s father yelled at Lin Shu angrily, “Does your family look down on our Wu Qi?”

“What do you mean?” Lin Shu immediately put on a helpless expression. “I’m afraid that Wu Qi dislikes our Huo Xiao.”

Wu Qi’s mother hurriedly tugged at Wu Qi’s father’s sleeve to calm him down.

Wu Qi’s father waved his hand and snorted in dissatisfaction. He stopped venting his anger.

Wu Qi’s mother frowned. “We heard that Wu Qi and Huo Xiao broke off the engagement.”

Lin Shu gestured to the housekeeper, who quickly went back to prepare tea and snacks.

Lin Shu led the Wu couple to the sofa and sat down.

“It was very late last night. Wu Qi suddenly came and said that she wanted to break off the engagement with Huo Xiao.” Lin Shu recalled the scene.

“We did ask what had happened.”Lin Shu sighed helplessly. “But she refused to tell us no matter what.”

“We have wanted to find some time to talk to you guys and see if there was something on the child’s mind.” Lin Shu looked at the Wu couple.

Wu Qi’s mother’s expression was a little ugly. “We did not hear her say anything!”

Wu Qi’s father was even angrier. “She’s afraid that we’ll worry about her, so she definitely won’t tell us that she is feeling wronged!”

“You mean that we’ve made Wu Qi feel wronged?” Lin Shu’s expression also became a little ugly.

Wu Qi’s mother sighed and said, “That’s not what he meant.”

“It’s just that Wu Qi has liked Huo Xiao since she was young,” Wu Qi’s mother said helplessly. “She won’t give up her engagement with Huo Xiao so easily.”

“Why don’t you go back and ask Wu Qi what’s going on first?” Lin Shu suggested.

“If she’s willing to tell us, do we still need to come here and ask you!” Wu Qi’s father said fiercely.

Lin Shu suddenly didn’t know what to say.

The situation now was that it was impossible to communicate with the Wu couple at all.

At this moment, Huo Xiao walked out of his room.

He saw the Wu couple and went up to greet them. “Uncle Wu, Auntie Wu!”

Wu Qi’s mother saw Huo Xiao and immediately went up. “Huo Xiao, Auntie has never begged you…”

“I want to ask you to go and see Wu Qi and ask her what’s going on!” Wu Qi’s mother had a pleading expression on her face.

Wu Qi’s father immediately agreed. “That’s right! If you go and ask her, definitely she will tell you!”

Huo Xiao rejected without hesitation. “I won’t ask her! She made her own choice!”

Hearing what Huo Xiao said, the Wu couple became even angrier. “If it weren’t for you…”

Huo Xiao looked at the two of them indifferently and said, “She’s not a child anymore. She has her reasons for making her own choice.”

Huo Xiao said to Lin Shu, “Mom, I’m a little tired today. I’ll go back and rest.”

After saying that, Huo Xiao turned around and left.

Lin Shu wanted to stop Huo Xiao, but Wu Qi’s mother had already rushed over.

“Pa!” A slap landed on Huo Xiao’s face.

Lin Shu watched in shock as Wu Qi’s mother gave Huo Xiao a hard slap.

Huo Xiao stood where he was, his gaze fixed on Wu Qi’s mother’s face.

Wu Qi’s mother also realized her impulsive behavior, but it was too late.
