"You're still going out? Where to? To find that vixen?"
Madam Zhan was furious with her unfilial son, clutching her chest in distress.
"Zhan Bei Jue, if you dare to step out of this house today, I'll disown you! If you dare to break off the engagement with Bei Bei, I'll die for you to see!"
"You've disgraced the Zhan family enough! Our family is plagued with misfortune! You're so smart, how could you have fallen for that vixen's tricks!"
"She's not suitable for the Zhan family, nor for you! Being with her will only bring more harm than good, how many times do I have to say it!"
Madam Zhan had high blood pressure. The doctor had warned her not to get angry, or she could suffer a stroke at any moment.
Zhan Bei Jue wasn't afraid of being disowned, but he couldn't bear to upset her, so he sat obediently.
"Fine. Then I won't go out tonight. If scolding me makes you feel better, scold me all you want. But I will not go through with the engagement."
"You!"
"Waa... Aunt Zhou..."
Madam Zhan rolled her eyes, staggering back two steps from anger, feigning difficulty breathing, while Gong Bei Bei sobbed uncontrollably.
It was the first time the household had been in such a chaotic state since her father's death.
Naturally, there was no appetite for dinner.
When the two children returned from school, only Zhan Bei Jue was in the living room.
After not seeing his handsome daddy for two days, Jing Tian bounced over and sat on his lap.
"Daddy, you're back! I missed you so much, did you miss me?"
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to follow Jiang Nan Fang? Why are you back?"
"Where did these clothes and schoolbags come from? Did something happen to Jiang Nan Fang that she kicked you out?"
Seeing the children in school uniforms with schoolbags, Zhan Bei Jue was confused.
The two children understood what was happening when they heard him.
Jiang Nan Fang had returned to Nan City again, and she was now with another set of twins.
This was bad, their act was about to be exposed. They wondered if it was okay to tell Daddy the truth now, and they needed to quickly message Mommy.
Jing Yu was the first to react: "Um, I haven't finished my homework yet, I'll go upstairs to do it. Daddy, you sit here first."
"I'm going up too, I haven't finished my homework either. Goodbye, Daddy."
Jing Tian didn't dare to explain and could only run with her brother.
Watching the backs of the two children escaping, Zhan Bei Jue felt increasingly strange.
Damn Jiang Nan Fang, when she didn't have his children, she tried every way to snatch them, to deceive them.
Now that he had given them to her, she... He just felt something was wrong.
He then followed them upstairs. In the room, the two children were holding their tablets.
Zhan Bei Jue deliberately tried to trick them.
"Do you miss Mommy? I'll take you to see her. We'll have dinner out together tonight, you can order whatever you want."
The two children were overjoyed, they hadn't seen their mommy for a long time, and they could finally see her.
But they pretended to be calm.
"But I haven't finished my homework yet."
"Isn't this homework a piece of cake for you? What, you don't want to go?"
"We want to! We want to!" They immediately jumped up. "Do we need to change clothes before we go out?"
"No need. It's just Mommy, she's seen you in all sorts of states. Just like this, let's go."
"Yay, that's great! We're going to have dinner with Mommy!"
Upstairs, Madam Zhan and Gong Bei Bei were heartbroken over the broken engagement.
And now he was going to take the children to find Jiang Nan Fang?
What was all this!
Aunt Zhang, who was secretly listening to Zhan Bei Jue's movements outside, hurried to report to Madam Zhan.
"He really dares to leave? It seems he truly doesn't take my words to heart."
"Bei Bei, Auntie can't control him anymore. It's up to you now."
The two children skipped ahead, with Zhan Bei Jue following behind.
As the father and his two children were going downstairs, Aunt Zhang stumbled down from upstairs.
"Young Master, Young Master! It's bad, Young Master!"
Zhan Bei Jue stopped and looked at her with a frown: "What is it? Why are you in such a panic?"
"It's bad, something's happened, you should go upstairs quickly and see! Miss Gong, she..."
It seemed something serious had happened, judging by Aunt Zhang's flustered appearance.
"You two, don't go yet, wait for me here."
Zhan Bei Jue turned and ran upstairs.
As soon as he reached the corner of the third-floor staircase, he heard his mother's anxious voice from Gong Bei Bei's room.
"Bei Bei, wake up, Bei Bei! Don't scare Auntie, why are you so foolish, so young, how could you do something so reckless?"
"Don't scare Auntie, wake up, Bei Bei!"
Zhan Bei Jue rushed in and saw.
On the floor, Gong Bei Bei lay unconscious in her mother's arms.
Her wrist lay on the ground, a patch of bright red beneath it.
Because he wanted to break off the engagement with her, she had cut her wrist?
Seeing him enter, Madam Zhan opened her mouth and cursed.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drive, take her to the hospital!"
"You scoundrel, you know Bei Bei is an only child! If anything happens today, how will we explain to the Gong family? Hurry!"
They sped to the hospital. As Gong Bei Bei was being rushed into the emergency room, Uncle Gong arrived after hearing the news.
"What happened? My colleague said Bei Bei was admitted to the hospital?"
Actually, Gong Bei Bei had informed her father in advance.
Madam Zhan looked embarrassed. Zhan Bei Jue, however, remained expressionless and greeted him.
"Uncle Gong, long time no see."
Uncle Gong was very serious.
"What's going on, Bei Jue? Bei Bei has been staying at your house since she returned from abroad. You two have been in frequent contact recently, and even planning to get engaged?"
"How could something happen to her at this time? Has she encountered any difficulties?"
Since the truth couldn't be hidden anyway, it was better to tell the truth sooner rather than later.
Zhan Bei Jue stated directly: "Indeed, we've encountered some difficulties. I'm sorry, Uncle Gong, I cannot get engaged to Bei Bei."
Uncle Gong was as angry as his mother.
He stared at him for a dozen seconds, then gritted his teeth and cursed.
"As expected, he's Zhan Qing Yan's son, with the same temperament! A playboy!"
"If you don't like Bei Bei, why didn't you say so earlier? The news has already been released, announced to the world, and now you're saying this. Our innocent girl, where can she put her face?"
"And me!" He slapped his own face, "I'm old, my colleagues are all waiting to drink wedding wine, where do you expect me to put my face?"
"Don't think that just because the Gong family is in decline, we won't dare to fight you! Zhan Bei Jue, this is simply going too far!"
Zhan Bei Jue knew he was in the wrong and let them curse as they pleased, lowering his head and remaining silent.
Madam Zhan, seeing him being scolded so harshly, felt sorry for her son and tried to mediate.
"Brother Gong, please don't be angry first. Things haven't reached the point of no return, don't be so quick to scold him."
"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between the two of them, and he said this on impulse. I'll go back and persuade him..."
"No need, Mom. Bei Bei and I don't have any misunderstandings, and I didn't say this on impulse."
Who knew Zhan Bei Jue would be so ungrateful.
"You don't need to persuade me. If you want to scold me, then scold me. I will absolutely not go through with this engagement."
