Chapter 775: Even You Are Shouting at Me

Meanwhile, at the Qi residence, Qi Shufang, her face streaked with tears, looked at the Qi elder: "How could you agree to him?"

The Qi elder, unable to vent his anger, was thoroughly disappointed in this granddaughter: "You created this mess yourself; why do you ask me why I agreed to him?"

Qi's mother felt heartache for her daughter, but at this critical moment, she dared not defy the elder, so she stepped forward and embraced her daughter: "If we don't do as he says, he will not only drag the Qi family down but also ruin your reputation. Your grandfather had no choice but to do this; you must understand."

Qi Shufang collapsed, crying out: "He's already in there; if you still can't find a way to deal with her, why do you have to agree to him? Do you want to ruin me?"

The elder's face was beyond description as ugly; seeing this, Qi's father roared at Qi Shufang: "Shut up!"

Qi Shufang looked utterly incredulous: "Dad, even you are shouting at me."

Her tears fell like beads on a broken string: "Fine, since you all despise me so much, then don't bother with me anymore. I would rather die than marry him."

Saying this, she scrambled to her feet and tried to run outside.

Only then did Elder Xiao angrily shout: "Stop her!"

Thinking his daughter was about to do something foolish, Qi's father rushed out immediately: "Shufang, you shouldn't treat your grandfather like this..."

Before he could say more, Qi Shufang angrily interrupted him: "He's already in there; why do you still have to agree to him? Ah, why?"

Qi's father could no longer hold back; gritting his teeth, he said: "Because he has your nude photos in his hands. Do you understand why?"

Qi Shufang froze instantly, her tantrum ceasing: "What did you say? How is that possible?"

Desperate to prove she had misheard, she turned to look at Qi's mother: "Mom, Dad isn't telling the truth, is he?"

Qi's mother embraced her daughter: "Shufang, your father will find a way to get those photos and the negatives. Announcing your engagement to the outside world is merely to appease him. Pack your things; tomorrow, your eldest brother will take you to stay with your maternal aunt for a while. Once things are settled, you can return."

At this moment, Qi Shufang was like someone suffering from soul-loss, allowing herself to be led about.

The Qi elder had been extremely angry, but seeing his granddaughter in this state, he truly felt bad in his heart.

In his life, he had only two sons; the second son's family had only Qi Xiuyan as their sole heir. As the only girl among the grandchildren, Qi Shufang had naturally been spoiled since childhood.

Yet he never expected her to be so foolish.

At this point, there was no choice but to proceed gradually.

Given the current situation, no matter what choice was made, the outcome would not be ideal; they could only face the storm together.

Qi Shufang now saw reality clearly; if it weren't for the fact that sacrificing herself would cause even greater shock to the Qi family, she would have been kicked out of the Qi family long ago.

Qi's mother helped her back to her room to pack: "Shufang, once you go to your maternal aunt's, you must not throw tantrums again. After some time passes, Mom will have your eldest brother come to fetch you back."

"Mom, then what about the child in my belly?"

"Shufang, sending you to your maternal aunt's is precisely so you can give birth to this child. Although her home is in the town, the house is on the very edge of town; few people go there in daily life, so no one will discover it."

"Mom, why not just not have this child? Once I'm at my aunt's, I'll find a way to abort the baby; no one will know."

"Shufang, if we could do that, we wouldn't be sending you away."

"But why exactly?"

"I'll tell you directly: Yao Qidong said that if he comes out and doesn't see the child, he won't let any of our family off."
