"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
As soon as she arrived in the living room, she saw this completely baffling scene.
Xunmi nudged the person hugging her, took Han Ge's hand, and happily introduced him to her parents.
"Mom and Dad, this is Brother Han, the son-in-law your daughter has chosen. Isn't he outstanding?"
His smug little face was impossible to hide, and Mo Wenhan stared at him with burning eyes.
"Excellent." The father replied blankly, feeling utterly devastated.
If he had known, he should have fought back properly when the Le family came to annul the engagement.
My child is so outstanding, he deserves someone even better.
Xunmi smiled happily, and Mo Wenhan was also pleased. She greeted the two elders, saying, "Dad, Mom."
There was no hint of subtlety or awkwardness in his expression; in his eyes, Xunmi was already his wife, and her family was naturally his family as well.
In this ambiguous atmosphere, the two, who were searching for their mother and father, enjoyed a pleasant dinner together.
Then he watched helplessly as Mo Wenhan took his precious child out the door, completely stunned.
The next day, news of Xunmi's engagement to Mo Wenhan flooded S City.
In less than a day, the threshold of the doorway for those searching for their homes was almost trampled down.
The Le family wasn't much better off; they failed to secure the collaboration with Karen Mok and also lost An Ziyi as a jade gambling expert.
The family fell into a slump, and with the news of Mo Wenhan and Xunmi coming out, the Le family was immediately thrust into the spotlight.
It truly proves the saying: "Today you ignore me and look down on me, tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention."
Overnight, Le Zhengtian seemed to have aged more than ten years, his temples turned gray, and his face became sallow and haggard.
Looking at his equally listless son, Le Zhengtian felt sorrowful.
Is the Le family really going to be ruined like this?
No, he couldn't let the Le family's century-old business disappear in his hands. He had to think of a way.
Seeking a home, yes, seeking a home. As long as they beg the Seeking Home to show leniency, the Le family still has a chance.
"Son, go and get yourself ready now, we're going to find our home."
Le Zhengtian quickly walked upstairs; he also needed to make himself look presentable.
The plan was well-thought-out, but unfortunately, Le Chenxi simply wouldn't cooperate.
"I'm not going. It's all because of Xunmi that Ziyi is ignoring me. I don't want to go."
These past few days, no matter how he tried to find Ziyi, she wouldn't see him.
He was heartbroken because the phone wasn't answering and the text messages weren't replying, even though they loved each other so much.
Why would Ziyi abandon me and say such things?
Le Zhengtian paused, then rushed to Le Chenxi with a look of exasperation and slapped her across the face.
"It's all because of that bitch An Ziyi that our Le family has become like this."
"Have you forgotten how she crossed the river and then burned the bridge? Why are you still thinking about such an ungrateful person?"
"Let me tell you, if the Le family doesn't survive this time, you'd better obediently marry Xie Tiantian from the Xie family."
I don't know what's going on, but Xie Tiantian has been spending all her time with her son these past two days.
She even said she wanted to marry him. No matter what kind of conspiracy the Xie family had or what kind of coincidence it was, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Le Chenxi looked at her father in disbelief, a hurt expression on her face.
"Dad, Ziyi and I are truly in love. You promised you wouldn't stop us or break us up. How can you go back on your word?"
He didn't understand how things had turned out this way.
In just a few days, everything went wrong.
Le Zhengtian was completely disappointed in this son; he couldn't see reality and had no cunning whatsoever.
Le Jia really didn't dare to count on his son, and sighed, "What kind of sins have I committed?"
"Please take the young master back to his room. He is not allowed to leave without my permission."
An Ziyi can't stay, but she's now with the Stone Gambling Association. Le Zhengtian feels like he's shot himself in the foot.
"Dad, Dad, you can't do this. I'm free."
Le Chenxi, who was being dragged away by the maid, struggled incessantly, trying to persuade her father to change his mind.
Le Zhengtian showed no mercy and left directly.
Xunmi and An Ziyi were unaware of what had happened to the Le family.
These past two days, An Ziyi has been practicing constantly, hoping to win the Queen's favor at tomorrow's royal gemstone appraisal.
Finally, the moment An Ziyi had been looking forward to arrived, and she went to keep her appointment with full confidence.
Xunmi is also paying attention; in the original storyline, An Ziyi's complete rise to power took place here.
Not only did he gain special favor from the Queen, but he was also hired as the royal appraiser.
It can be said that they were in the limelight and achieved a perfect comeback.
With Xunmi present, would she allow it? Of course not.
She had already secretly instructed her baby to absorb all the jadeite inside the rough stone that was to be appraised.
Of course, in order to trick the female lead, Xunmi still left a tiny bit of the baby so that the female lead could feel the fluctuation.
As for what kind of thing will be delivered when it's finally opened, she couldn't guarantee that.
Lazy on the sofa in Mo Wenhan's office, enjoying a delicious afternoon tea.
This is the best life ever! I have my loved ones by my side, and I can even watch a show. Awesome!
'Warning, warning, main quest failed. The host will be forcibly returned to the space in ten seconds.'
'Warning, warning, main quest failed. The host will be forcibly returned to the space in ten seconds.'
The baby's voice suddenly rang out, sharp and piercing, startling Xunmi.
When she heard what was said, she was completely distraught.
Why did the main quest fail?
He opened his mouth to say goodbye to his lover, but everything went black, and he was taken out of the world.
Back in the space, Xunmi was still a little confused.
'Baby, what's going on?' She just agreed to be with her lover, and the next moment she ran away.
Oh no, I'm worried my lover might turn evil.
The baby whimpered and rushed into Xunmi's arms, crying loudly.
'Master, waaaaah~~~ We failed.'
Searching for the black line: 'How did it fail? Where did it go wrong?'
She definitely didn't do anything earth-shattering, so where did this sudden failure come from?
The female lead received praise from the Empress, but on her way back, she was run over and killed by Xie Tiantian.
'The main quest for the host to stage a comeback has failed, and the side quest to make Le Chenxi regret it has also failed.'
The baby wanted to cry. It was walking perfectly fine, and it was about to get promoted, receive a raise, and reach the pinnacle of its life, but then this happened.
I'm so tired, I just want to go into shock.
Xunmi was even more frustrated: 'What on earth happened to Xie Tiantian? Why would she make a move at this time?'
Didn't we agree with the Xie family that An Ziyi would take revenge herself?
'Because Xie Tiantian has taken a liking to Le Chenxi, and Le Chenxi likes An Ziyi.'
'An Ziyi had wronged Xie Tiantian, so in a fit of anger, Xie Tiantian killed the female lead.'
The baby explained with a mournful face, his voice particularly weak and listless.
