‘Stripping herself?’

Lu Yanchen was direct about it, and Mrs. Yang immediately understood what was going on. She could barely feel her face any longer.

‘How could Sitong not tell me about doing something so stupid!’

How many times had she told Sitong! Yes, she must hook onto the man, but even then, she needed skills for that, and mustn’t come off as being too cheap!

Mrs. Yang did not turn to look at Sitong, choosing to sigh instead. “At times, one gets lost when they’re overly concerned. Because of her passionate love, her brain might have gotten a little heated up, causing her to do something out of sorts. But, at the end of the day, it’s all because she loves you too much… Regarding all this, it’s not easy for me to comment as well. But, because this is the first time she’s crying to me in all these years, hence the reason why I decided to come forth and look for you for a chat.”

After she said that, she lowered her head as though she was feeling guilty. It was as though she was taking the blame as the mother for Sitong’s mistakes.

Immediately, Yang Sitong knew how to complement her act by crying out in sobs, “I’m sorry, Yanchen! It’s really because I love you too much! I know of my mistakes now! The reason why I’m here again is to apologize to you! Will you forgive me just this one time, please?”

“Apologize?” Lu Yanchen’s face was expressionless as he leaned back against the sofa in a totally nonchalant attitude, exuding the feeling of irony he was feeling right now completely. “Are you sure the reason why you’re back isn’t to give my entire house a good search?”

Yang Sitong froze up.

Mrs. Yang’s expression turned solemn as she spoke up, “Yanchen, don’t say that! The reason why Sitong was so emotional right now was also that you guys have a marriage agreement. Even if you had said that you wanted to back out of the marriage in the past, that was only on your side… Sitong has no other intentions—she merely wishes for you to give her a chance. Well, could you perhaps ask that girl to come out and have a fair competition with Sitong instead? If you still choose to go for that girl at the end of the day, I won’t insist otherwise.”

Lu Yanchen repeated her words really slowly, “And, if I choose to go for that girl still, you wouldn’t insist otherwise?”

Mrs. Yang nodded while smiling… although, those were only words for show. How could she not insist otherwise? Since the Yangs had gotten involved with the Lus, there was definitely no way she would allow the Lus to dump them away.

The moment she heard that she might end up not having anything to do with Lu Yanchen anymore, Yang Sitong got flustered. “No! Mummy! No!”

Lu Yanchen wasn’t even bothered about her at all right now! He’d definitely go for that woman! There was no way she could agree to such an arrangement!

Mrs. Yang truly wanted to give her daughter a harsh scolding right now. Even after teaching her for so many years, she still could not shake off that impulsive character of hers! These were words that SHE had said, but Yang Sitong was the one who was going to marry Lu Yanchen! If Sitong denied these words at that time, wouldn’t that do?

Lu Yanchen rubbed his temple and gave off a really fatigued expression. “Now that things have come to this, I’m sure you guys won’t let up till I let you guys search around my house. Since that’s the case, go ahead then…”

Yang Sitong’s heart skipped with joy. Her first thought was to barge right into Lu Yanchen’s room. If she hadn’t guessed wrong, that woman must be hiding in there!

However, Mrs. Yang could tell that there was something wrong.

In his circle, Lu Yanchen was famous for being sophisticated, shrewd, cold, and aloof. He wasn’t someone easy to get along with.

How could he be so easy-going at such a moment?

And indeed, Lu Yanchen’s voice drifted out once more, “But, my house isn’t a place that’s so easily searched by others for any tom, dick, and harry to do as they will. If you wish to search, you will have to pay the price for it.”

Mrs. Yang’s heart sank. “Price?”

Lu Yanchen continued coldly, “If you can find the woman as your daughter has mentioned in my place, then the matter of me heading to your house to annul our marriage back then will not count. But if not, I want the Yangs to carry out the annulment.”
