C7 A Good Opening!

"Xiang Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't tell me you think it's not enough to embarrass me?! "

He didn't expect Xiang Wanwan to be so unrelenting. Father Xiang was so angry that his face had turned dark.

Seeing Father Xiang's anger, Xiang Rong'er proudly glanced at Xiang Wanwan who was standing there. A trace of a cold smile flashed at the corner of her mouth before she spoke in a gentle tone.

"Dad, it's your birthday today. Don't be angry, I believe Sister Wanwan didn't mean to anger you."

"You aren't trying to anger me? I think she wants to piss me off! Alright, Rong'er, I know you're kind-hearted, so you don't have to speak up for her anymore. Since this unfilial daughter doesn't want her own face, then let's properly settle the score today! "

Originally, Father Xiang thought that he would settle his family's private matters in private. After all, although Xiang Family could not be considered as a particularly large family, they still held a lot of prestige in the imperial city.

Therefore, Father Xiang cared about his face.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Wanwan insisted on going against him, which made Father Xiang even more angry.

With his eyes wide open, he glared at Xiang Wanwan, who had a stubborn and unrepentant expression, as he spoke harshly.

"Fine, don't you want to lose face? Then I'll let you lose enough face!"

"Now, tell us clearly what you did five years ago in front of everyone. Tell everyone clearly, why did you abandon such a good man like Bai Dong and run away with other wild men!"

Seeing Father Xiang's anger, Xiang Rong'er frowned. She stealthily glanced at her mother, who was standing at the side, and felt her heart beat like a drum.

Originally, the things that happened earlier were all made up just so that Xiang Wanwan's reputation wouldn't be known and she wouldn't be able to return to the Xiang Family.

Xiang Rong'er was delighted with the way things had gone.

However, there was still a bit of worry in her heart. If Xiang Wanwan had exposed the fact that they were working together to harm her, even if Father Xiang didn't believe her, he would definitely have some doubts in his heart.

Noticing Xiang Rong'er's slightly frantic expression, Chen Meihua nodded slightly at her, signaling her not to worry.

Having lived with Xiang Hutu for so many years, Chen Meihua knew his temperament very well.

Five years ago, he had already firmly believed that Xiang Wanwan and the wild man would elope. Now, even if Xiang Wanwan tried to argue again, it would only be a sophistry on her part for Xiang Hutu and it would have no credibility.

Therefore, the things that Xiang Rong'er was worried about didn't exist.

How could Xiang Wanwan not know what Chen Meihua, Xiang Hutu's daughter, knew?

She looked at Father Xiang, who was completely convinced that the crowd had splashed him with dirty water, and the last remaining hope in her heart was shattered.

Pain, it was as if her heart was tightly clenched by a large hand. It was so painful that she couldn't even breathe.

"Didn't you give up long ago?" Xiang Wanwan laughed at herself, her eyes slightly sore.

"You still have the face to smile?!"

Seeing that Xiang Wanwan not only didn't feel ashamed, but also dared to smile, Father Xiang's face darkened.

When the surrounding people saw Xiang Wanwan's reaction, they couldn't help but start whispering to each other.

"What's going on with young miss? Did she turn stupid after leaving for five years?"

"Who knows. Anyway, he looks rather thick-skinned."

"..."

In his ears, besides Father Xiang's scolding, there was also the mocking laughter from the crowd that was filled with contempt.

Xiang Wanwan straightened her back and allowed the crowd to speak, but her facial expression remained unchanged, as if the main character in their words had nothing to do with her.

Time passed bit by bit. Xiang Wanwan lowered her eyes to look at the watch on her wrist. Recalling the news she had received this morning, her eyebrows creased. She couldn't help but turn her gaze toward the door.

Just as she raised her head, a figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the crowd. Even the excited people who had been fighting for Xiang Wanwan were silenced when they saw the figure at the door. They all moved to the sides of the crowd.

Xiang Wanwan's watery eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the man slowly walk into the banquet hall. With her eyebrows raised, a trace of light flashed past her eyes. She immediately took a step forward and went up to greet him.
