The sound of the door closing clicked and the entire study room instantly fell silent once again. A terrifying, stifling atmosphere quietly assaulted the space.

Deng Wenwen’s pair of sharp and threatening eyes kept staring straight at Xi Xiaye who was sitting still. Her tone was very stern. “This is the only way to resolve Yueying’s issue. Now, Yueying’s funding gap is widening. It’s the heart and blood of the Xi family. Do you really wish to see it destroyed just like that?”

“Can’t you just say things nicely? What’s wrong with you, being so overbearing? Cough, cough...”

On the side, Xi Jiyang could not stand Deng Wenwen’s tone, so he could not help but reprimand her. In his fury, he started coughing intensely.

“I’m just telling the truth. Otherwise, what better way do we have right now? I can’t just let half my life’s work be destroyed in a day. Xi Jiyang, are you able to just sit and watch Yueying be toppled? In this period, I’ve been running all around for Yueying. Can one of you be considerate for me? And you still blame me for being overbearing?”

Deng Wenwen’s fury had just calmed down when it surged again and her tone rose. “Don’t forget that you’ve agreed to this too! Otherwise, Xiaye, you can ask him!”

...

Xi Xiaye had been staring at the documents in front of her. Her eyes were blank for a long time. A while after that, she slowly lifted her head to look at Deng Wenwen across her. As her pale lips parted slightly, she finally asked, “Does Father know about this?”

“Your mother has already told him about it and he accepted it. Xiaye, you’re a smart child. You should know how to choose. Besides, your interest isn’t even in movies and television, so this is beneficial to you.”

Deng Wenwen finally eased her tone at this point.

However, just as she said this, Xi Xiaye’s chest instantly tightened. She seemed to have just heard the sound of her heart smashing to pieces after it had just been pieced together. After quite some time, she took the documents in a daze...

“$5 million in compensation...”

She muttered to herself, then chuckled at herself, “I never knew that this thing in my hand was actually this valuable. If I did, I should’ve just sold it off right away...”

After staying silent for a long while, she slowly turned to look beside her. Then, she realized that Xi Jiyang had already stood up with his figure stooped and his back towards her. He looked out of the window with indifference and loneliness.

Her eyes started to burn, the feeling of pain and sadness suddenly surging in her akin to a drowning flood, instantly submerging her entirely, yet she was helpless...

Finally, she felt how weak and defenseless she was.

Unsure how much time had passed, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed like ashes that burned once more. She reached out to retrieve the pen and her hand trembled as she wrote her name down.

Pop!

She tossed the pen in her hand away...

Deng Wenwen then nodded, feeling satisfied as she picked the documents up. “Okay, everyone, go down to join the banquet. The guests have been waiting for a long time!”

Then, she smiled and walked out with the documents.

Xi Xiaye stood up in a daze too. She knew that perhaps, from today onwards, this family might have nothing to do with her anymore.

She sighed disappointedly. Even though she felt pained, this was to her, perhaps, a good thing.

“I’m leaving now. Take care.”

She left with detachment, about to walk out of the door.

“Child, Grandfather will leave better things for you. Don’t be sad!”

Xi Jiyang’s aged voice was heard and a helpless sigh came with it.

Xi Xiaye was startled. Stopping in her steps, she thought about it, then smiled and said, “No need. I’ve never thought of getting anything from you guys. I never would’ve expected that today...”

In the end, she did not continue. She just pulled the door open with a lack of regard and walked out.

She had just stepped out of the room when she heard the bustling clamor and the soft, melodious dance music. Lighthearted peals of laughter came wave after wave.

This liveliness only belonged to them. All she had at that moment was just dismal sorrow...

Xi Xiaye took in a deep breath, blinked, and then pushed back all of those emotions that were about to leak out. She wanted to turn around and leave immediately, yet upon doing so, she saw Deng Wenwen’s familiar figure walking towards her. Beside her was a tall, gentle-looking man accompanied by two black-clothed bodyguards.

She smiled coldly before just turning around and walking towards a different direction.

From this end, it was straight to the banquet hall below. She had just walked to the end of the staircase when she heard cheers from below. The dance music suddenly changed to a romantic and soothing light ballad.

Her gaze followed the sounds of the crowd’s cheers. This was when she noticed that the crowd that was initially lingering on the dance floor had stopped. At this moment, in the center of the dance floor stood a pair of very dazzling couple — Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi!

Underneath the soft lights, Han Yifeng looked tenderly at Xi Xinyi. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a small, red box. He opened it and bright rainbow rays instantly flickered. He pulled Xi Xinyi’s hand with his and suddenly knelt down on one knee. He said lovingly, “Xinyi, will you marry me?”

The second Han Yifeng said that, the crowd instantly celebrated and they all shouted with jubilance, “Say yes! Say yes!”

Xi Xinyi was surprised. She could not help but lift a hand to cover her face in disbelief. Her beautiful face was brimming with happiness at this moment as she nodded gladly and was so moved that she wept on the spot.

Han Yifeng then smiled and put the ring on Xi Xinyi’s finger. Then, he got up to pull her into his embrace. Immediately, the crowd downstairs erupted into a thunderous applause. Han Yifeng could not help but lower his head to plant a kiss on Xi Xinyi’s lips. Xi Xinyi gladly accepted it as her arms gently held onto his neck.

When Xi Xiaye saw the way their faces brimmed with happiness...

In that instant, she felt too much. She suddenly felt like her eyes had been stabbed with needles. It actually hurt a little and her twinkling eyes immediately dimmed.

However, it was in just that one instance that she took a deep breath and her gaze returned to its usual calmness. She coldly tore her eyes away and abruptly turned around to walk ahead.

“Sis!”

Right at this moment, there was suddenly a surprised cry from below. She already knew whose voice it was without having to hear it.

A cold smile flashed in the corner of Xi Xiaye’s mouth. Neither did she slow down her footsteps, nor did she see the people walking over. She just lowered her head to walk past everyone in huge strides.
