C10 The Cause of the Conspiracy

"There's no time to waste; let's do it tonight. You go ahead and set things up."

Ann Beiqi's mother and aunt, who were also her mother-in-law and future aunt, were actually discussing something like this here! Sending their daughter-in-law to someone else's bed just to curry favor? It's insane!

She instinctively stepped back, then turned and quickly walked away.

"Moo Yuhan?"

Just her luck. Of all times, Yan Yu had to show up now? His voice was still a bit distant, so Moo Yuhan quickened her pace, desperate to escape this mess. It was as if walking faster could shake off these twisted situations.

"Moo Yuhan!"

She moved so quickly that she bumped into a waiter, knocking over the champagne he was holding, which spilled all over her. Finally, Yan Yu caught up and grabbed her.

"Let go!"

Moo Yuhan was trembling, on the verge of breaking down.

Yan Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. To him, Moo Yuhan was just a good actress.

"Last night... it was you, wasn't it?"

As he spoke, a strange thought crossed his mind. If last night's incident was planned, the Ann family should have confronted him by now. Could it be that this woman really didn't know? Or maybe the Ann family hadn't planned anything at all? Was it just a coincidence?

He frowned, hesitating.

Suddenly, Ann Beiqi appeared from the corner, his face dark with anger, but he still managed a polite nod toward Yan Yu. "Uncle."

Yan Yu acknowledged with a nod.

Ann Beiqi suddenly grabbed Moo Yuhan's hair, sneering, "I never knew you could be such a vicious woman, doing something so cruel to your own sister... Moo Yuhan, you have a heart of stone!"

Yan Yu watched coldly, unable to determine if they were putting on a show to trap him or if this was a genuine conflict.

"Me?" Moo Yuhan winced in pain, disbelief clear in her eyes.

"Are you still pretending? You wouldn't even spare your own sister!"

*Smack!*

A sharp slap landed on Yuhan's face, quickly leaving a swelling mark. The crisp sound echoed, revealing the force behind it. The blow made Yuhan stagger, barely keeping her balance in her high heels, twisting her ankle painfully. It would likely swell soon.

Yuhan's hair fell over her face, hiding her expression. She wasn't planning to endure this any longer. Steadying herself, she swung back, landing a slap on Ann Beiqi's face!

*Smack!*

This slap was even sharper than the first! Ann Beiqi stared at Yuhan, stunned, unable to believe she had done this. Yuhan dared to hit him?

"Listen, Ann Beiqi, no one owes you anything, and I've never been afraid of you. You cheated with Jiaojiao, and I'm only upset because it feels like my own dog was lured away by someone else's treat, not because I can't let you go."

"As for your accusations about harming Jiaojiao, sorry, I don't have the time or interest to deal with that. From today on, I'll be calling off our engagement. I don't want to see you for another minute or second. Go live your happy life with Jiaojiao. A jerk and a cheat deserve each other, and I wish you both a long life together!"

Yuhan's sudden outburst shocked everyone present. She had always been seen as mature, elegant, poised, and noble.
