Chapter 571: Should It Be Returned to the Original Owner?

~7 min read 1,361 words

His reaction made the guests present look at him with high regard.

If they were the ones wronged today, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to be as calm and rational as Xu Tian.

And now that the truth was clear, Xu Tian didn't fall into the trap, such a bearing was really admirable.

"Xu Tian, you are just too good-tempered!" Yan Qingxue was still immersed in the role and couldn't extricate herself. "Second Aunt stole your things and turned around to frame you, wanting to send you to the police station. Is she not afraid of retribution?"

"Bitch! You will be the one to suffer retribution!" Yan Ershen was almost angered to faint in the face of the disdainful and mocking gazes of the crowd. "It's you sisters and brothers who colluded to frame me! This watch must be problematic! You hurry up and tell the truth!"

While she was talking, she rushed toward Yan Qingxue, and at the same time raised her arm, wanting to give her a slap.

However, before her slap could be swung, she was stopped by the Yan Family Patriarch's stern shout: "Stop! Jinbai, can't you manage your wife? Like a shrew in front of so many people, what kind of system is this?"

Yan Jinbai couldn't hold his face, so he could only hold Yan Ershen tightly and not let her do it, but he was also a bit unconvinced, still trying to turn the spearhead to Xu Tian: "Dad, Mom, don't be deceived by this kid, he must have played some means..."

"Shut up! Yan Jinbai, look at what you look like now, do you still have the style of a successor?"

The Yan Family Patriarch was very disappointed. The second son he chose as his successor was arguing endlessly like a shrew in full view, and even wanted to frame his own younger generation. If this reached the ears of his few old rivals, his face would really be lost.

After Xu Tian pointed out that there were the initials of his name on the back of the watch, the Yan Family Patriarch already believed that the second family's daughter-in-law had deliberately framed him.

It was probably because he made the decision to write Xu Tian into the genealogy some time ago that they had crooked thoughts.

He originally felt that the second family's daughter-in-law, although ambitious, was still filial, at least she wouldn't do such a thing that violated her conscience, but he didn't expect that the second family's daughter-in-law would frame Xu Tian for stealing in public, and even shout to catch the thief.

It seems that he has delegated power to Yan Jinbai during this period, allowing their family to get more power, so that their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and they can't tolerate a little change.

In fact, his decision to write Xu Tian's name into the genealogy was not really wanting Xu Tian to inherit the family business, but because he really liked this wise and open-minded younger generation, and if Yan Qingxue performed well, she could return to the company under the Yan Corporation in the future, and there could be someone to help her.

Now most of the senior management of the company chose to support Yan Jinbai and Yan Hongyu. If this continues, I am afraid that the Yan Corporation will really become the one-word hall of the second family.

The Yan Family Patriarch realized that he could no longer indulge Yan Jinbai's family, especially through today's incident, he keenly sensed that Yan Jinbai not only wanted to monopolize power, but also wanted to sweep away all the obstacles that affected them, which had touched his bottom line.

Yan Jinbai's face was extremely ugly. Although he cursed Xu Tian and others thousands of times in his heart, seeing that the Yan Family Patriarch was really angry, he didn't dare to argue hard.

Originally, the guests present were still mocking Xu Tian and Yan Jinsong's family, but now that they knew the truth, the eyes looking at Yan Ershen and the others were full of disdain.

The Xu family's people all had ugly expressions, especially Xu Siye.

He originally felt that Yan Hongyu was not worthy of his daughter. If it weren't for feeling sorry for his daughter and wanting to compensate her as much as possible, he might have forcibly broken them up and chosen another marriage for Xu Miaoyin.

Originally, he felt that the Yan family should be the second house in charge, but seeing the attitude of the Yan Family Patriarch and the Old Madam Yan toward Xu Tian and Yan Qingxue today, the successor of the Yan family's family business in the future might not necessarily be Yan Hongyu.

Xu Siye was even a bit glad that it was just an engagement banquet today, and there was still room for turning around.

Originally, he promised his daughter to complete the marriage within one year of engagement, but now it seems that he should be more cautious about his precious daughter's marriage.

Facing the pointing of the crowd, Yan Hongyu's face was blue, and he could no longer maintain his consistent good image in front of outsiders.

With the speed of news spreading now, without waiting for the engagement ceremony to end, there will definitely be many rumors about him in the upper-class circle.

Of course, the most important thing is that his image in front of Grandpa and Grandma was destroyed.

Yan Hongyu regretted very much. How did he agree to let his mother frame Xu Tian.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to make Xu Tian lose his reputation and be completely disgusted by Grandpa and Grandma, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and hit his own foot.

Damn, it should have been foolproof, what's going on with that watch?

"Dad, I will give you a reasonable explanation after this matter." Yan Jinbai saw that things had reached this point and didn't want to continue to lose face, so he could only hold Yan Ershen who was on the verge of collapse and still wanted to continue to splash.

Yan Qingxue sneered, her tone mocking: "Second Aunt, I know this diamond watch is indeed priceless and everyone wants it, but it is Xu Tian's thing after all. You should return it to the original owner now, right?"

Hearing Yan Qingxue's words, everyone discovered that Yan Ershen was still holding Xu Tian's diamond watch tightly.

The Yan Family Patriarch shouted: "Second family, hurry up and return the watch to Xu Tian!"

Yan Ershen was angry and aggrieved, and was about to attack, but was stopped by Yan Hongyu.

Yan Hongyu took the watch from his hand, then walked to Xu Tian and returned the watch to him: "Xu Tian, sorry, we heard that my watch was missing, so we thought someone took it, and it was not intentional to target you. We are all one family, anything can be sat down and talked about well. Can I explain to you after the ceremony?"

Yan Hongyu said these words through gritted teeth. It was clearly his watch, how could it become Xu Tian's?

Just now when he took the watch over, he secretly glanced at the back of the dial and found that there were really the initials of Xu Tian's name on it, and the number was different from his, so where did his watch go?

"Really sorry, the younger generation doesn't understand things and let everyone laugh. The ceremony is about to start, please take your seats."

No matter what, the engagement ceremony still had to be held. The Yan Family Patriarch had to suppress the anger in his heart for the time being and arrange for the guests present to take their seats.

Of course, after the ceremony, it is inevitable to spend a lot of energy on public relations, and also to give the Xu family an explanation.

It should have been a grand engagement ceremony, but because of such a scandal, the guests were busy gossiping, and naturally no one cared about the protagonist at the ceremony. ===== CHAPTER 572 =====
