His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Mrs. Yang’s tone was all sunken and cold as she looked at Yang Sitong deeply. Without saying anything more, she opened the door of the car and entered.

With her lips quivering, Yang Sitong found herself incapable of saying anything more as her eyes were widened.

It was only after boarding the car that she asked cautiously, “Then, what should we do now, mummy…? Must our marriage arrangement be destroyed just like that? I only wish to marry Lu Yanchen!” Her gaze was clearly helpless. “Mummy, please help me! Furthermore, our Yang Family can’t really back out of the marriage agreement with the Lus, right? This way, it will be bad for our Yang Group as well.”

Mrs. Yang sighed out deeply once more. She naturally knew of those facts, and thus had been thinking of ways to resolve this situation the entire time.

After going silent for a moment, she made a call.

It didn’t take long for the call to connect.

Even though Mrs. Yang’s tone was harsh and cold earlier on, it was really tender right now. “Chief Lu…”

Yang Sitong felt that heart of hers skipping a beat right away—she knew that her mummy was on the phone with Lu Yanchen’s father.

The status of Father Lu was far from that of an ordinary man. Even a single phone call with him could cause the entire situation to seem particularly… asphyxiating.

Even though she could not hear what Father Lu was saying on the other end, she could hear her mother giving the entire side of their tale with a shortened summary.

“And because the little couple had an argument, in any case, they spoke of annulling the marriage agreement in a fit of anger. Sitong was just throwing a tantrum at that point.”

“No matter what, it’s really just Sitong’s fault. She should not have mistrusted Yanchen and doubted that he had some other woman. After cooling down, she regretted it right away…”

“And was just crying to me the entire time…”

“That’s right. I made the trip over to pick Sitong home…”

“Y-Yes, yes! Thank you for the trouble, Chief!”

“Yes, she only has eyes for Yanchen everyday…”

“We’ve received the invitation for Mrs. Lu’s birthday.”

“Sure, we’ll meet then!”

The call went on for a while. Mrs. Yang’s tone was totally friendly the entire time, as though she was speaking about something that didn’t matter much—she was merely the concerned elder, and everything that had happened at Lu Yanchen’s apartment had nothing to do with her at all.

It was only after hanging on the call that she heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, Yang Sitong inquired nervously, “How did it go, mummy?”

“You should really be thankful for the fact that Lu Yanchen’s father is poised for a promotion within this year, and cannot afford to have any negative rumors spreading about his Lu Family. After all, this marriage was decided by the past Old Master Lu before his death. I said that you guys were just arguing, and that’s that—the marriage agreement still stands. However, for the time being, you better not go around telling everyone that you’re Lu Yanchen’s fiancée anymore. Other than to not have him publish the video, it is also for you to go along with his wishes. After all, all men love obedient women.”

“Mummy…” Yang Sitong sniffed, be it because she could not obtain Lu Yanchen’s affection or her guilt toward her mother. “Thank you!”

Mrs. Yang’s smile was tender. “One grows from experience… From now on, remember to bring your brains with you when you’re handling any matter, and not be so brash anymore.”

“Got it, mummy!”

…

Shi Guang stood at her own window and watched the mother and daughter from the Yang Family leave. She was thinking about how Lu Yanchen had her return after washing the dishes. Only, the strange thing was that not only did he forbid her from wearing her shoes, he had even wanted her to walk by the stairs.

‘What was he up to?’

But thankfully, she was just staying on the 11th floor. Otherwise, she would have gotten herself into a world of trouble…

It was already twice now that she was nearly suspected by Yang Sitong for something. She must really be careful not to have any connections with Lu Yanchen other than for their lessons from now on.

Her phone rang, and Shi Guang picked it up to check.

It was Shen Lingshuang – Lu Yanchen’s mother!
