Upon seeing Shen Ting'an, Lu Li smiled and specially came forward to greet him, "Oh, Director Shen is here. I thought you were too busy to come."

Shen Ting'an replied with a forced smile, "The Director Lu has a joyous occasion today, so of course I have to come and join in the fun."

Lu Li: "It is indeed a joyous occasion. If it weren't for Director Shen's help, I wouldn't be where I am today. In fact, I have to thank Director Shen."

The two exchanged barbs, but as guests continued to arrive, Lu Li had no time to say anything more and had no choice but to let them in.

"Luoluo, over here!"

Qin Shiyue and Chen Jiashu were already in the banquet hall. Knowing that Shen Luoluo would come, they had been watching the entrance and waiting. Finally, they saw her.

Their tables happened to be right next to each other.

Shen Luoluo stepped forward. "Why are there only two of you? Where is Qi Yang?"

"He's at home; he doesn't like joining in these kinds of crowds." Chen Jiashu pouted. "Actually, I didn't want to come either; my parents forced me to." After all, the woman was Chen Family, so it wouldn't be right for him not to come.

"Luoluo," Qin Shiyue suddenly leaned over and pulled Shen Luoluo aside.

Shen Luoluo was confused. "What's wrong?"

Qin Shiyue showed Shen Luoluo the message on her phone, "Did you see the message? Shen Anya is selling secondhand handbags."

The news of Shen Anya being kicked out of the Shen Family has been circulating widely these past two days, and there have been posts on forums, with Shen Jiayan also responding to them. Now everyone knows about the heinous things Shen Anya and her parents did.

Qin Shiyue felt indignant for Shen Luoluo, "That Shen Anya did such a thing, how could your parents still give her those things? Those things were originally bought with your Shen Family's money. If it were me, she wouldn't be allowed to take a single penny from me!"

Shen Luoluo didn't care. Shen Ting'a Zhao Huizhen had already explained this to her. They didn't want to see anything related to Shen Anya in the house. Throwing it away would be a waste, so they gave it all to Shen Anya as a way of putting an end to their more than ten years of raising her.

"Alright." Qin Shiyue shrugged. If the person in question didn't mind, then she couldn't say anything more.

The two were still talking when a commotion broke out on the stage.

"What's going on on stage? Isn't that Lu Yanxing, the eldest son of the Lu Family? The banquet hasn't even started yet, why is he up there without even changing his clothes?"

"The girl next to him isn't the second daughter of the Chen Family either, and they're holding hands; their relationship seems more than just casual."

"What's going on? Isn't today Lu Yanxing and Chen Yiyi's engagement party? Who's that girl on stage? Is she going to call off the engagement?"

Hearing the murmurs, Shen Luoluo looked up at the stage. Standing on the stage were indeed Lu Yanxing and a girl in a white dress with a pure and innocent appearance, who looked to be in her early twenties.

The next second, Lu Yanxing snatched the microphone from the emcee on stage and faced the crowd.

"I'm sorry to inform everyone that today's engagement party is now over. The person I truly love is the girl next to me, not Chen Yiyi, and I will not be engaged to Chen Yiyi. I'm sorry to have made you all come all this way for nothing."

Everyone was shocked; it really was a broken engagement!

Shen Luoluo was also surprised; this was quite different from what she had imagined. How did an extra girl suddenly appear? She quickly opened the Intelligence System and only then did she realize—

[This girl was Lu Yanshi's Private Tutor. She met Lu Yanxing while tutoring him at his home, and the two fell in love.]

Shen Ting'an and Zhao Huizhen, sitting next to each other, both widened their eyes. They liked each other, but what about their stepmother?

At this moment, Lu Li rushed onto the stage and loudly questioned, "Lu Yanxing, what are you doing? Do you know what kind of occasion this is? Let her go right now!"

Lu Yanxing led the girl behind him. "I told you a long time ago that I don't like Chen Yiyi and I won't Marriage Alliance into the Chen Family. You insisted on holding this engagement banquet. If you like Marriage Alliance so much, then go ahead and arrange your own."

Zhao Huizhen coldly observed everything on the stage. This Lu Li really treated her son as a tool for the Marriage Alliance and making money. For the sake of status and position, she completely disregarded her child's opinions. She deserved to end up like this.

On stage, Lu Li continued to threaten Lu Yanxing: "If you dare to take her out of here today, don't come back, and you can forget about being the president of Lu Corporation."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yanxing was not afraid at all. He didn't even glance at Lu Li, took the hand of the Girl in the White Dress, and was about to leave. Everyone could see his determination.

A figure flashed past.

Shen Luoluo was almost excitedly shouting, "[She's here! My stepmother is here!]"

[I knew my stepmother liked Lu Yanxing so much, she definitely wouldn't let him leave so easily.]

The people around them then realized what had happened. Why was there suddenly a voice in their minds? And what did that voice mean by mentioning a stepmother and an eldest son?

Before he could figure it out, the woman in the purple evening gown rushed forward and blocked Lu Yanxing: "Lu Yanxing, you can't do this! You can't leave me here alone!"

The entire room fell silent for a few seconds.

Most people here know that the woman in the purple evening gown is Lu Li's newlywed concubine. Is this concubine really having an affair with his eldest son? And what about his eldest son and his stepmother...?

Everyone looked at Lu Li, as if they could see a green light emanating from his head.

On stage, Lu Li's face was as black as could be. He seemed unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. "Song Wei, what do you mean by this?"

At this point, Song Wei couldn't care less about anything else. All she knew was that she absolutely couldn't let Lu Yanxing leave. If Lu Yanxing really left, there would be no point in her living.

"What do you mean? Just like you see, I've fallen in love with your son, I love Lu Yanxing! Lu Yanxing and I are already together."

"Shut up!" Lu Yanxing shook off the woman's hand. "Who's with you? I've never been with you at all."

The woman stared blankly at Lu Yanxing, as if she couldn't believe Lu Yanxing would say such a thing. Suddenly, she broke down in tears, "What do you mean you've never been together? Lu Yanxing, you've slept with me so many times, and now you're saying you've never been together with me? What about all the time we spent together?!"
