Xu Anran took advantage of the situation and said, “Is it enough to seek clarification from the media? If it wasn’t for Anran remarrying that day, the Qin family wouldn’t have been the one to lose face!”

“Qin Xiaokun only came to me on the second day of the wedding. Don’t tell me you want to see me being stood up for a day at the wedding? When that time comes, forget about me, the entire Xu family will become a laughingstock!”

Xu Zhenwei was rendered speechless for a moment. After taking a deep breath, his face was filled with anger. “Then you can’t remarry at the last minute to refute the face of our two families! Xiao Kun knows what he’s doing!”

Even at this point, Xu Zhenwei still spoke up for Qin Xiaokun. He did not think about his daughter at all.

Xu Anran’s hand that was holding Jiang Rongyan trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and said, “Dad, you have never treated me as your daughter. What right do you have to ask me to pay for your interests?”

“If you have a father like me in your eyes, just listen to me and explain it to Xiao Kun properly. Don’t be so selfish and only think about yourself.”

“I’m selfish? I was left out by the groom on the wedding day. I don’t even know where I lost my face. Why do you want me to explain it to him? I think you’re not old yet, but your eyes are already blurry!”

As she spoke, Xu Anran looked at Jiang Rongyan, who had been silent for a long time. For some reason, when he stood by her side, she felt an inexplicable sense of courage.

“No matter what, Rongyan is much more outstanding than Qin Xiaokun. I’ll put my words here. He is the man I’ve set my heart on for my entire life!”

After she finished speaking, she held Jiang Rongyan’s hand even tighter.

The woman’s firm words lingered in his ears. Jiang Rongyan unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.

“Unfilial daughter!” Xu Zhenwei was so angry that he could not catch his breath. His face was flushed red.

Seeing this, Xu Anning hurriedly wiped away her tears and immediately went forward to support him. She patted Xu Zhenwei’s back to help him catch his breath.

“Dad, don’t be angry. Sister didn’t mean to anger you! Sister already knows that she’s wrong.” Xu Anning tried her best to persuade him, but she secretly looked at Xu Anran with contempt.

Xu Anran looked at her hypocritical look and rolled her eyes. “What did I do wrong? I won’t marry Qin Xiaokun!”

“You…” Xu Zhenwei thought that Xu Anran would compromise, but she still refused to change. He raised his hand and was about to give her a slap.

Xu Anning had already taken a few steps back, but the expected slap didn’t come.

Jiang Rongyan held Xu Zhenwei’s wrist tightly. The respect on his face was gone, and his dark eyes were cold.

“Anran is your daughter!” His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he emphasized in a deep voice.

Xu Zhenwei was a little embarrassed. He shook off Jiang Rongyan’s hand and said, “If she’s my daughter, she should listen to me and think for the family! I raised her up so that she wouldn’t cause trouble for me!”

Hearing this, Xu Anran sneered.

He was only thinking about the betrothal gifts given by the Qin family. What he said sounded so righteous and strict.

Jiang Rongyan had also thought of this. He shielded Xu Anran behind him. “Uncle, I know what you mean. Please return all the betrothal gifts that the Qin family gave you. I will give Anran double the amount.”

In Xu Zhenwei’s eyes, Xu Anran was not his daughter. He only saw benefits. When he heard Jiang Rongyan’s words, he suddenly wavered.

Xu Anning, who was standing behind him, heard Jiang Rongyan’s words.. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and her face was full of astonishment.
