Chapter 71

Xu Rixin nodded: "That's true. Although your An family's assets aren't as much as the Yun family's, you have connections. In today's society, if you don't have connections, you can't move an inch."

"Yun Shuo relies on your family to live without worry, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, arguing with you every three days. Even I, this brother, can't stand it anymore!"

It must be said that Xu Rixin's ability to turn black into white was also at the level of a best actor.

Clearly, it was An Xingyue who was making trouble, and Yun Shuo would let her have her way if anything didn't meet her wishes, but in Xu Rixin's words, it turned into Yun Shuo looking for trouble.

"Rixin brother is still the best to me. I actually don't have any feelings for him at all."

An Xingyue was very satisfied with Xu Rixin's defense: "This time our family won the project. After the procedures are complete, I will go talk to my grandmother and let you invest and participate as well."

Xu Rixin curled his lips slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Xingyue, you are too good to me. Being able to know a woman as understanding as you is my, Xu Rixin's, honor in this life."

However, just as the two were flirting and being intimate, An Xingyue's phone suddenly rang.

"It's my dad's call, it should be to tell me the good news!"

Xu Rixin also raised his eyebrows, showing joy.

He had also invested some in this project of the An family. Now that the An family had won this project, he could also get a share of the pie.

The Yun family was simply making wedding clothes for others, and Yun Shuo was just his defeated opponent!

"Dad, is there good news..." An Xingyue asked excitedly.

"An Xingyue, come home immediately!" An Xingyue's father's tone was serious.

However, An Xingyue was still immersed in her own dream at the moment and didn't hear her father's anger at all.

"Okay, I'm going home now!"

Putting down the phone, An Xingyue kissed Xu Rixin on the face again: "My dad told me to go home, probably wanting to celebrate. You just wait for my good news."

"Okay." The smile on Xu Rixin's face became even thicker.

"Rixin, after a while, I will take you to see my grandmother. I think my grandmother will definitely like you."

To let Xu Rixin also participate in the An family's project, he must pass the An Laotai's test.

But An Xingyue was very confident; Xu Rixin was a hundred times, a thousand times better than Yun Shuo, and Grandma would definitely agree to them being together.

Xu Rixin smiled dotingly upon hearing this: "Okay."

An Xingyue rushed back to the An family impatiently, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked impatiently.

"Dad, Mom, are you planning to hold a celebration party? Did you book a table in the hotel banquet hall, or are you going to Grandma's house?"

She hurriedly changed her shoes at the entrance and ran to the living room. She originally thought she would see her parents with full smiles, but what awaited her was a slap from her father.

"Pa!"

Half of An Xingyue's face instantly burned with pain.

"Dad?" An Xingyue was stunned by the slap, covering her face for a full few seconds before reacting, shouting at her father: "What are you doing?"

Seeing her daughter being hit, An's mother walked over heartbroken and hugged An Xingyue, complaining to her father:

"Is there anything that can't be said properly? She is your own daughter, how can you bear to use such heavy hands?"

"If she weren't my own flesh and blood, I would have beaten her to death by now!"

An's father's anger hadn't subsided, staring at An Xingyue and panting: "Go ask your good daughter what she has done yourself?"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

An Xingyue had been pampered since she was a child and had never suffered such grievances, so naturally, her words had no sense of proportion: "Shouldn't you be celebrating the successful bid now? What are you going crazy at me for?"

She gave up the opportunity for a candlelight dinner with Xu Rixin and rushed home, not to get slapped!

"Xingyue, you should say less."

Hearing about the bidding, An's mother's face also looked a bit ugly: "It's all the Yun family's fault. They originally said they would cooperate with us to win the project together. Who knew they kept using the excuse of problems with the company account and refused to transfer money, and today at the bidding, they actually cooperated with a small company with no fame to snatch the winning qualification from us!"

"What?" An Xingyue was shocked: "The Yun family snatched the winning qualification from us? What was the result?"

"The Yun family has sufficient funds and strong strength." An's mother sighed: "The winning qualification was naturally taken by them in the end."

"How could the Yun family go back on their word?" An Xingyue was burning with anger, roaring crazily: "They dared to snatch our family's project and didn't give us funds; this is simply bullying people too much!"

"If they only wanted this project, we wouldn't be unable to understand." An's mother was worried: "When you and Yun Shuo get married, what difference is there between the Yun family and our family? It's just..."

"Just what?" An Xingyue only felt dizzy; she didn't want to hear any more bad news.

"It's just that after the bidding ended, Yun Shuo's father publicly announced the cancellation of the engagement with our An family, and they won't cooperate with the An family in the future. The projects we were cooperating on before have also had their investments unilaterally withdrawn by them."

"Mom, you're not joking, are you..." An Xingyue's body swayed, almost falling: "How could the Yun family dare to cancel the engagement? If it weren't for us, the Yun family couldn't have developed so fast. Now that the Yun family is rich, they want to kick us away with one foot—no way! This time the Yun family must give us an explanation!"

An's mother hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Xingyue, tell Mom the truth: the Yun family suddenly wants to cancel the engagement—does it have anything to do with you?"

A moment of guilt appeared at the bottom of An Xingyue's eyes.

But the next moment, thinking of how Yun Shuo had licked her for so many years, she shook her head immediately: "How could it have anything to do with me?"

However, hearing An Xingyue's words, her father's anger surged up.

"If you hadn't done something to make Yun Shuo angry, how could the Yun family suddenly cancel the engagement?"

"Useless thing, do you know how much the An family paid for this bidding? Not only did we stop a production line to ensure sufficient liquidity, but we also took out a loan from the bank to invest in early preparations."

"Now the project has been snatched by the Yun family, and they want to make a clean break with us. This is to make the An family go bankrupt!"

"Do you know what Yun Zhenting said to me when I went to question him?"

"He said if I want to know why the engagement was canceled, go back and ask your good daughter!"

"You still dare to say this has nothing to do with you?"

"How did I raise an idiot like you? Didn't I remind you that it was a critical period before the project was won, so you should coax Yun Shuo a bit and not throw your young lady temper?"

An Xingyue's heart sank suddenly upon hearing this.

"I..."

"Xingyue, tell Mom the truth: what on earth happened between you and Yun Shuo recently? Did you argue? Or did you throw a tantrum and unilaterally start a cold war with him again?"

"If it were just an argument, we would still have room to save it, otherwise our An family is really going to go bankrupt this time. How can we explain this to your grandmother!"

An's mother still knew her own daughter's personality quite well.

As if her father had suddenly thought of something, he questioned coldly:

"Last time Grandma called you and instructed you to send some gifts to coax Yun Shuo, did you send them?"

An Xingyue realized something, and her heart was already somewhat flustered.

However, under her parents' questioning, she still tried hard to cover up her guilt.

"Dad, Mom, I have no problems with Yun Shuo!"

"Don't you know my personality? Although I occasionally have a little temper in front of Yun Shuo, which girl doesn't have a little conflict with her partner when dating? I have no problems with Yun Shuo recently, and I have always been very polite in front of Yun Shuo's family. Don't you know this?"

An Xingyue really wasn't wrong. Although she had a bad attitude in front of Yun Shuo, she had always performed as a lady from a famous family in front of Yun Shuo's parents, so much so that Yun Shuo's parents thought she was well-behaved and sensible, treating her like their own daughter and often buying her various gifts.

If it weren't for Xu Tian finding a way to let Yun Shuo's father, Yun Zhenting, see An Xingyue's true colors, the Yun family would probably still think it was Yun Shuo who bullied An Xingyue.

"You have indeed always performed well in front of the Yun family, so why does Yun Zhenting suddenly have such a big opinion of you?"

"Who knows? I admit I haven't done anything to apologize to their family recently. Dad, Mom, I think it's the Yun family that feels the Yun Group is a big company now, looks down on us, and wants to curry favor with other big families in Jiang City! This can't be blamed on me, right? I'm also a victim!"

An's father originally had doubts, but seeing An Xingyue so righteous and confident, he also began to waver.

And An's mother completely believed An Xingyue's words, touching An Xingyue's face that had just been slapped swollen, heartbroken.

"Xingyue, you've suffered grievances this time!"

"Child's father, Xingyue and Yun Shuo were clearly doing fine recently, but were described by Yun Zhenting as if our Xingyue had done something to apologize to their family. I think this time they really deliberately looked for trouble, wanting to kick us away after using us!"

"Yun Zhenting, do you really think our An family is easy to bully?"

An's father slapped the tea table fiercely: "Our An family has always been conscientious in assisting the Yun Group, but now you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge; this is simply bullying people too much!"
