C6 Why Don't You Choose Her?

"Yao, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nianxin was initially taken aback, then her eyes quickly filled with tears.

Standing in front of Xinghao, Nianxin's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes. To Geyao, this display was almost nauseating, but she had to admit, to an outsider, Nianxin appeared genuinely pitiful.

"Yao, at the dinner, I heard you left with a group of men. I was worried sick and wanted to bring you back, but I searched all night and couldn't find you," Nianxin said, biting her lip and wringing her hands, looking genuinely concerned.

"Those guys are notorious around here for being troublemakers, and their reputation with women is even worse. Going with them... I'm afraid you might have..." Nianxin's voice trailed off, her concern evident.

"I've warned you so many times, but you insisted on doing things your way. Now that something's happened, you're blaming me. I..." Nianxin turned her face away, discreetly wiping a tear from her eye.

Geyao couldn't help but applaud the performance. The perfectly timed act filled the room with a palpable tension. However, she chose not to argue. The contrast between the graceful, composed sister and her own disheveled appearance was stark. Anything she said would be dismissed as nonsense.

One sister was poised and elegant, while the other was wild and shameless. Any man would know which to choose! Yet, Liang Xinghao sat quietly on the couch, as calm as a monk in meditation, showing no interest in making a choice. He simply watched the sisters with a detached gaze.

In truth, this was Liang Xinghao's first encounter with his fiancée. Old Master Liang had sent him to the Shen family to meet this woman he had never seen before. Unexpectedly, tonight's hotel banquet took a surprising turn.

His fiancée not only failed to meet him but also went out with a group of rowdy friends. He sat in the living room the entire evening, and it wasn't until midnight that she returned, seemingly having had a good time.

Initially, these were just rumors spread by Shen Nianxin, and there was still some skepticism. But now, seeing Shen Geyao's appearance, there was little room for doubt.

The faint red marks on her neck were unmistakable, and she wore a shirt as a dress. More intriguingly, it seemed there was nothing underneath that shirt!

Shen Geyao gave a self-deprecating smile. She had always been against this arranged marriage, especially to a man she had never met. Now, with the evidence clear, was there even a need for an explanation?

Yes, there was! Shen Nianxin wanted to take her place as the future lady of the Liang family. Geyao didn't care about that, but tonight, her reputation was nearly ruined by those hooligans. Shen Nianxin's dirty tactics to climb the social ladder were something Geyao couldn't accept!

"I'm not interested in hanging out with those guys. Ms. Nianxin just tossed them a few bucks, hoping they'd help ruin me!"

"Shut up! Geyao, have you no shame? How dare you frame your own sister like this!"

Nianxin's mother stormed over, her perfectly made-up face twisted with anger.

"You're so young, yet your heart is so malicious! Nianxin has always been proper in her actions! But you, you make mistakes and try to blame others?"

"Mom, Geyao is still young and doesn't understand. Aren't all kids like this nowadays? They make mistakes and try to shift the blame. Please don't be too hard on her."

Geyao sneered throughout.

She was clearly wronged, yet Nianxin stood up to plead for her, showing what a good sister she was. Her words seemed like a plea, but they subtly accused Geyao of wrongdoing.

Such a gentle, generous, and kind Nianxin!

The old man’s eyes flashed with disappointment as he turned to Xinghao, full of apology.

"It's unfortunate to have such a rebellious granddaughter. If you wish to call off the engagement, the Shen family will agree. As for the alliance between our families..."

The old man thought for a moment, finally turning his gaze to Nianxin. "Nianxin is also my granddaughter. How about you choose her instead?"
