But at this moment, no matter how big the news is, even if these people want to watch, do they dare to watch the news about the Xiao Family?

So they could only listen to Old Master Xiao talk about the matters below, but they still hadn’t let go of these concerns in their hearts.

Xu Ke indeed breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this matter hasn’t been announced yet. In the future, he must find Old Master Xiao for a good talk. Even without any tokens, this matter must be clarified, or else there won’t be any chances later.

Thinking this through, Xu Ke made all his decisions at once.

At this moment, Yang Tianzhen, beside Xu Ke, was worriedly looking at him. She originally thought that today’s marriage could be settled, but unexpectedly, it was canceled halfway through.

It’s really a pity. If that young lady really settles the marriage, although Xu Ke might be a bit sad, this sadness would certainly heal over time. And since she is by Xu Ke’s side, she would definitely comfort him well.

But now, there’s no chance for that. She doesn’t know whether Xu Ke is still worried about that young lady or not.

Thinking about this, Yang Tianzhen feels her heart sour.

However, she can only suppress all her emotions because Xu Ke doesn’t want to see her like this.

Meanwhile, Yang Tian was looking for his daughter all over the banquet hall, and not finding her in possible places made him quite frustrated. His daughter just went out; how come she can’t be found? Besides, with his daughter’s character, she doesn’t know many friends in the city. What’s going on?

When Yang Tianzhen stood up, Yang Tian suddenly felt like his daughter had gone crazy.

Standing next to Xu Ke without saying anything and even helping Xu Ke fend off the public opinion. This is his daughter; how can he let people gossip?

So after the commotion calmed down, Yang Tian immediately walked to his daughter’s side.

"Tianzhen, I waited for you for a long time there. Why didn’t you come over? Do you know how worried Dad is? And Dad wanted to introduce you to your uncle; what are you doing here? Hurry and come with Dad; it’s easy for others to discuss you here. You’re still a young lady who hasn’t married; if people gossip, what will you do in the future?"

Hearing her father’s words, Yang Tianzhen only felt particularly aggrieved, and now is when Xu Ke needs comfort the most. She can’t leave.

"Dad, listen to me. I still have things to handle now. You go entertain Uncle first. I’ll personally apologize to him another day. Hurry up, don’t keep pestering me."

After hearing his daughter’s words, Yang Tian was a bit incredulous. What potion did that young man give his daughter?

"Haven’t you seen it clearly? The man next to you and that young lady on the stage have been unclear with each other. How long do you two want to be entangled? Do you still care about your face? Even if you don’t, think about your dad. Your dad still wants face; if people laugh at us, how can I conduct business in the future? Just come with me now, stop clinging here; what’s a big girl like you supposed to act like?"

After Yang Tian finished speaking, he was particularly impatient, while Yang Tianzhen seemed to have heard a great joke, her eyes wide open.

She originally thought that her father’s words meant he would absolutely not interfere in whom she associated with. But unexpectedly, he could say such things now.

What did she do to be insulted like this by her father?

Yang Tianzhen’s eyes were filled with tears: "Dad, perhaps others can say that to me, but you can’t. What did I do wrong? I’m just sitting here; I’m his friend. If I don’t comfort him, who will? And he’s got no one to rely on in this city. You can’t expect me to be ungrateful, can you?"

After hearing Yang Tianzhen’s words, Yang Tian didn’t know what to say, lowering his head with a sigh.

Looking at Xu Ke again, he further disliked this young man who had taken his daughter away.

So he showed no good face towards Xu Ke, nor did he speak kindly.

"We have no cooperation left, and I hope you make it clear not to keep entangling with my daughter. Continuing like this won’t benefit your own reputation any."

After Yang Tian finished speaking, he pulled his daughter up hard. But unexpectedly, Yang Tianzhen freed herself at once. Her always graceful and noble image ensured she would never bow down, and what Yang Tianzhen decided, even ten oxen couldn’t pull her away.

So she stubbornly looked at her father: "Dad, if you think everything I’ve done is wrong, then stop stopping me. You have your thoughts; I have mine. You’ve said no matter what I do, you wouldn’t support it, right? Isn’t that the case today?"

After Yang Tianzhen finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Yang Tian. But Yang Tian was speechless. His daughter was always obedient and sensible, which had put him at ease. But now, he absolutely couldn’t agree.

"I granted you freedom because you listened and understood. But no one expected you’d fancy such a person, causing Dad to lose face terribly. If you still refuse to behave, Dad won’t care about anything else. You better think it through."

Now Xu Ke had seen clearly that Yang Tian, after all, was a businessman, placing interests first in everything.

"Since you mentioned my reputation, I will certainly leave your daughter. But you should know it was your daughter who voluntarily came to me, not me who insisted on keeping her here."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he looked at Yang Tianzhen: "Aren’t we not very familiar? If there’s nothing else, you can leave without further trouble. If you keep disturbing me, who knows how people will misunderstand."

"I have no reputation to speak of, but you’re a young girl different from me. If your reputation is damaged, I can’t be held accountable, and I don’t want to be."

Xu Ke finished speaking and left gracefully, while Yang Tianzhen’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, looking at Xu Ke’s back, feeling sad.

She could only blame everything on her father: "Dad, you see, it’s all because of you. He clearly had no malice, but why do you have such a big opinion of him? What did he do wrong? Obviously, those people did wrong; why don’t you question them? Why question him instead?"
