There were a lot of people at the party and the place they were standing was not in the corner. Moreover, Lin Ru was clearly upset with Liu Chengyu, so they attracted a lot of attention.

Xiao Jinning was pale. She was a public figure as well as Liu Chengyu's fiancee, which was a fact that envy many people, so she was afraid that people would find out that Liu Chengyu wanted to break off his engagement to her. He hurriedly pulled Lin Ru's arm, shook his head at her and pleaded in a low voice, "Mom, there are too many people here. Let's go back and talk about it."

Lin Ru looked at Xiao Jinning, and suddenly nodded and looked with a frown. But he was about to leave with Xiao Jinning, Liu Chengyu suddenly said, "You don't have to go back. I'll take care of it for a minute. Why don't we just finish it here?"

Xiao Hongyi was surprised that Liu Chengyu had suddenly become so ruthless towards Xiao Jinning, so he looked at her speechlessly. However, as a sophisticated person, Lin Ru was not afraid of Liu Chengyu's words. Since he had even refused to acknowledge his own daughter, he would definitely not be affected by a word from Liu Chengyu. He looked at Liu Chengyu with narrowed eyes and asked coldly, "Liu Chengyu, what do you mean?"

Liu Chengyu gave a small laugh and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinning. Just as he was about to speak, however, Xiao Jinning immediately let go of Lin Ru's hand, stepped forward to hold her hand and gently pleaded, "Chengyu, I beg you, please, let's talk about this when we get out, okay?”

Liu Chengyu released his hand from Xiao Jinning's hand. Seeing Xiao Jinning's pitiful gaze, he smiled mockingly and said, "If I don't see your true color, I'll be tricked by you again."

Xiao Jinning was stunned. Original color? Whatdoes thatmean?

Did someone speak ill of him in front of Chengyu?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinning cried. He looked at Liu Chengyu dejectedly with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Chengyu, what's wrong with you? You scared me like this ..."

Looking coldly at the tears on Xiao Jinning's face, Liu Chengyu suddenly felt that humans were truly strange creatures. Before he met Xiao Rou and knew the truth, whenever he saw Xiao Jinning cry, he would feel that this girl was pitiful and needed. But now, after seeing her true color, she just thought her tears were too disgusting and she couldn't even bear to see it.

Seeing the look on Xiao Jinning's face, Lin Ru frowned, but she still looked at Liu Chengyu and said coldly, "Liu Chengyu, you should give me an explanation tonight!"

“Exposure?” Suddenly, someone came and asked in surprise, “What explanation?”

Lin Ru looked up only to see a middle-aged couple coming; they were Liu Chengyu's parents. He sneered and said, "Gonghua, Luoxian, you came at the right time. Your son suddenly said he wanted to call off our engagement with Jinning. Don't you think you should give us an explanation?"

Xi Luoxian was a good friend of Lin Ru during their time at university, and then the two of them worked in City A. Xi Luoxian's family was very strong in City B and she had a good appearance, behavior, and personality, so she married Liu Gongghua. Although she was now forty or fifty years old, she looked to be in her thirties as she took very good care of herself. Hearing Lin Ru's words, she immediately frowned, turned her gaze to her son and asked seriously, "Chengyu, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what we taught you?"

Liu Gongghua also frowned at Liu Chengyu. Clearly, he did not agree with Liu Chengyu's decision, but he did not say anything. In his opinion, even if his son really did this, there must have been a reason.

Looking at his parents, Liu Chengyu did not change his expression, he pursed his lips and said, "Dad, Mom, Mom, that's because I didn't forget what you taught me that I should cancel the engagement with Jinning!"

Liu Gonghua raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Jinning, "Oh? What's going on?"

Why was the more he thought about this, the more he felt guilty towards his son?

Xi Luoxian also raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Chengyu and frowned, "I never taught you to be a man who does not keep his promises and discards his fiance."

“Stop acting in front of me.” Lin Ri glared at Xi Luoxian and said coldly, “Luoxian, When I got pregnant and found out that it was a girl, you were engaged to your son with my daughter, promise that Chengyu will be a good, loyal husband who will love my daughter forever, but now.”.

Before she finished, Liu Chengyu cut her off, "But Aunt Lin, is Jinning your daughter?"

Instead of calling her Auntie, she started calling her Aunt Lin like how she called her when she was a child.

Lin Ru pouted in interruptions, but she widened her eyes after hearing Liu Chengyu's sudden question, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Jinning also turned pale in an instant.

Xiao Hongyi, who was standing at the side without speaking, was completely confused. What the hell's going on? What's going on now? He just wanted to faint at this moment.

But he knew he couldn't do it, so he tried to calm down and force a smile as he said, "Chengyu, what are you talking about? Of course Jinning is our daughter!"

Xiao Jinning also forced a smile, but her smile was ugly. He pulled Liu Chengyu's sleeves and sobbed in a low voice. "Yes, Chengyu, don't listen to those people's bullshit. Of course I'm Mom's daughter and dad's!"

Seeing his pitiful expression, Liu Chengyu snorted and said coldly, "What if this nonsense is said by you?"

Xiao Jinning felt her heart beating fast. He jerked his head and looked at Liu Chengyu. "You ... Chengyu, how can I say that?" Did Chengyu hear what he said outside the salon? But how is it possible? look around to make sure no one is around. How could Chengyu hear that?

It must be Xiao Rou! Xiao Rou must have been jealous because she was Chengyu's fiance, so she slandered him in front of Chengyu!

Liu Gonghua and Xi Luoxian were shocked to hear that. Their son never lies, so who lies?

Xi Luoxian looked at Lin Ru only to find that she remained silent. He was more convinced that his son was not lying, so he asked very seriously, "Ah Ru, is Jinning not your son?"
