Chapter 162: Please Let Them Be “Haha! She isn’t water. She’s the beloved daughter of the Shen family…”

“Yes yes certainly! Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of this treasure!”

“Dad, Auntie, both of you… That’s enough…”

Shen Qianrou blushed at their teasing before she dived into Su Heng’s arms.

“Alright, alright! You’re noisy everywhere you go. Sit down first!”

Even though Jiang Rongrong sounded stern, her tone was full of affection.

Shen Fanxing sat there silently, as the laughter and chatter surrounded her in the room. She felt as though she was an outsider.

There were too many times where she had the urge to stand up and leave.

But she also knew that that would be too rude.

And it would only show how much she cared about them…

What she could do was to sit there quietly and watch how the happy family interacted…

As they reached the dining table, their faces changed drastically.

“Sister, you’re here too!” Shen Qianrou exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and awkwardness.

Su Heng’s smile froze instantly.

“Fanxing, you’re… here…”

Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and remained mum.

It was only then when everyone in the room seemed to notice Shen Fanxing’s presence. The atmosphere became tense visibly.

Shen Shanghua took a look at Shen Fanxing and sighed silently. He quipped, “Have a seat everyone!”

After they sat down, the atmosphere remained tense.

“Serve the dishes,” ordered Shen Shanghua in a low voice.

“Let’s wait.”

Shen Fanxing finally drawled, her face devoid of emotions.

Everyone looked at her.

“Let’s talk first. For example… Why are there outsiders attending our family dinner?”

She had long suspected that when Jiang Rongrong had appeared personally, nothing good could happen?

But this hadn’t occurred to her at all…

How disgusting!

Cai Jingyi and Su Bingyou exchanged awkward glances.

Jiang Rongrong’s face darkened and she took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, ”

“The main purpose of this dinner is to discuss Qianrou and Su Heng’s marriage. We will also decide on the date.”

“What has this got to do with me?” replied Shen Fanxing sarcastically.

“You were engaged to Su Heng previously. So we’ve gathered today to officially call off the engagement. Also, during the company’s anniversary, you can go on stage and explain the situation clearly. You can say that there are some problems in the relationship. And you have initiated to break off the engagement…”

Shen Fanxing sneered coldly, “Then in order to make up with the Su family, the Shen family will betroth Shen Qianrou to Su Heng as compensation. In this way, Shen Qianrou will not be criticized as the third party who has driven a wedge in someone else’s relationship. Then the two of them can get together without any public criticism?”

The moment Shen Fanxing finished speaking, the room fell dead silent.

After a long while, Jiang Rongrong spoke again with a grim expression.

“I know you’ve never liked Qianrou, but don’t you know Su Heng’s character? Su Heng and Qianrou can’t be separated anymore. If not, he wouldn’t have made this decision!”

Cai Jingyi nodded apologetically, looking as though she was on the verge of tears.

“Fanxing, I’m telling the truth. Before you left the country, I could already tell that Ah Heng likes Qianrou. But he has always felt conflicted. He told me that he couldn’t let you down. All these years, he has been living in agony. If not for… if not for the fact that his feelings could no longer be concealed, he would have continued struggling… Fanxing, if you still have feelings for him, can you let him go? Let him be happy! Ah? Take it as I’m begging you. Can you let Ah Heng go? Let him and Qianrou be together!”
