The old woman's eyes, gray and wide with disbelief, flickered as she looked at Shao Cheng, seeking confirmation.
Under immense pressure, Shao Cheng lowered his head. "Yes... girlfriend."
How could this be?!
Yu Ming was someone she had watched grow up since childhood. How could he possibly like this type of girl!
"When!?" The old lady's voice trembled.
Lou Yu Ming answered calmly, "Two months ago."
If she calculated correctly, this was before the engagement was even broken off!
The old woman's pupils contracted again. "Yu... Yu Ming, do you have some unspeakable difficulty?"
She refused to believe this child would cheat! There had to be a problem here!
"I know Nana has a stubborn personality and must have done things in the past that displeased you, so I won't interfere with the matter of you two breaking off your engagement. It's normal for young couples to have minor disagreements; they'll make up by nightfall."
"But you can't just find someone to deceive Grandma! Who... who is this Miss Song! How could you do such a thing! I don't believe it!"
Lou Yu Ming's expression darkened, then, in front of everyone, he kissed Song Xi.
Song Xi: "!!!"
Was he crazy!
The old woman had no choice but to believe it now. "You... you!"
Just then, Anna, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.
Her gaze was menacing and terrifying, somewhat frightening. Her hands were clenched so tight that her fingertips turned white.
She tried her best to suppress the surging anger within her, striving for the most peaceful expression, but the more she tried, the less she could control her features, resulting in a slightly ferocious look as she finally spoke.
"Song Xi," she paused deliberately, staring intently, "isn't she Shao Cheng's girlfriend?"
Her words plunged the entire room into a deathly silence.
Shao Cheng was the first to react, grabbing Anna's arm. "What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up!"
Anna, however, had lost all restraint. She said coldly, "Isn't she? Grandma Zhang herself acknowledged her as her granddaughter-in-law! In terms of่พๅ, she's Yu Ming's nephew's wife!"
Shao Cheng roared, "Get out here with me!"
Anna, fueled by some unknown strength, shoved him away. "Yu Ming, you're involved with your nephew's wife. How can you do this to Grandma Zhang! How can you do this to me!"
"Anna!!" Shao Cheng almost screamed.
The atmosphere became tense and explosive.
The old lady's face turned exceptionally grim.
Shao Cheng's heart clenched. Fortunately, Lou Yu Ming had sent him a text message that morning, reassuring his grandmother, otherwise, something truly disastrous would have happened.
Anna was clearly driven to desperation. She actually said such things!
To prevent the situation from escalating beyond repair, Shao Cheng forcefully pulled Anna, intending to leave.
"Why do I owe you anything?"
Suddenly, Lou Yu Ming, seated, spoke softly.
He was enveloped in an aura of gloom, his dark eyes looking over with an unnerving calm and depth, utterly indifferent. "From beginning to end, this engagement was a sham. I acted the part with you for so long, and that should be considered more than enough. From now on, my affairs are none of your business!"
He pulled Song Xi up. "Grandma Shao, I'll take my leave now. I'll visit again next time."
Song Xi also bowed politely.
She saw the old lady's pale face, looking as if she might faint at any moment, so she squeezed Lou Yu Ming's hand.
Lou Yu Ming did not look back, his heart as cold as stone. "Shao Cheng will handle it himself."
Right, he was a doctor after all.
Behind them, Grandma Shao clutched her chest. "Anna... is this true?"
Anna's eyes were red, whether from Lou Yu Ming's words or from the old lady's reaction, she didn't know.
She stammered, "Grand... Grandma..."
"Get out!" Shao Cheng immediately rushed to check on the old lady and roared at Anna, "Before I lose my temper, get out!"
Anna burst into tears.
Why was everyone treating her like this? Clearly, she was the one who had been abandoned!
Song Xi, I'm going to kill you!!
