Chapter 20: Anger Rises in the Heart

---

Seeing that things might get out of control, before Fang's mother could speak again, Liu's father preemptively said, "Ruyan! Didn't you see your uncle and aunt have misunderstood? Explain yourself quickly!"

"It's normal if you said something against your conscience because you were shy!"

Liu's father's obvious attempt to offer a way out made Liu Ruyan's delicate body tremble.

Instinctively, she wanted to take the opportunity, but seeing Fang Chang's slightly mocking gaze, she pursed her lips.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry, this is my fault!"

Oh no!

Liu's father felt a wave of dizziness and almost collapsed!

Wasn't Liu Ruyan's statement a tacit admission?!

Mr. Fang, enraged, laughed coldly, "Fine, fine, fine! No wonder you're a descendant of Liu Zhengxing! Always hiding things."

Mr. Liu tried to salvage the situation, "Old Fang! Actually..."

"Stop!"

Mr. Fang had no intention of giving Mr. Liu a chance to explain. The facts were clear, and the person involved had admitted it; what more was there to say?

Just now, when Mr. and Mrs. Fang were at home, they even said they would use this marriage to slightly compensate Fang Chang!

Is this compensation?

It's clearly rubbing salt into the wound.

Did his son come here to suffer humiliation?!

And at their own family banquet no less.

“President Liu…”

Just then, Fang Yajun walked over, looked directly at Mr. Liu, and said calmly, “I don’t know what grudge Miss Liu has against my brother that would lead her to publicly insult him in this setting.”

“I’ll only say one thing: I will avenge this insult on my brother.”

“Today is our Fang family’s family reunion banquet. I don’t want my other brother to be unhappy, so I won’t confront you here.”

“Go back.”

This was a direct dismissal, and from a junior at that.

Mr. Liu was somewhat annoyed, but he had no right to retaliate!

After all, they were the ones who had wronged them first. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Fang had already given him face; otherwise, if this matter were made public, wouldn’t the Liu family become a laughingstock?

But while Mr. Liu could tolerate it, Liu Ruyan could not.

It was her fault, no problem, but she couldn’t allow a peer to speak to her father like that.

“Miss Fang…”

Liu Ruyan stared directly at Fang Yajun and said in a deep voice, “Aren’t you going a bit too far? This is my fault, it has nothing to do with my father. If you have a problem, come at me!”

“Come at you?”

Fang Yajun smiled coldly: “Do you think I’ll let you off? Neither you nor your little lover, I won’t let them get away with it!”

“Little lover?!”

Liu Ruyan’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

She finally understood why the two families were so tense.

She had initially thought Fang Chang was just there to annul the engagement, but she hadn’t expected him to bring up Tang Jun’s affair.

Tang Jun stood behind Liu Ruyan, showing no intention of speaking.

Especially after seeing Fang Yajun.

Fang Yajun and Liu Ruyan each possessed their own beauty. For a moment, Tang Jun was almost captivated. He shook his head, his eyes regaining their clarity.

“This… Miss Fang, hello, my name is Tang Jun.”

“I’m just President Liu’s bodyguard, not some lover.”

“Heh…”

Fang Yajun sneered, "Personal bodyguard? You're certainly personal. Since you say you're Liu Ruyan's personal bodyguard, then I'd like to ask you, don't you have any other thoughts about your beautiful CEO Liu?"

"I..."

Tang Jun pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "I do like CEO Liu, but we have no relationship!"

Liu's father's face flushed red with anger.

Now that the other party involved had admitted it, it was impossible to turn the matter into a misunderstanding!

"Tang Jun!"

Liu Ruyan wasn't stupid; she naturally knew the consequences of Tang Jun's words. She had wanted to stop him, but Tang Jun's mouth was too quick, giving her no chance to intervene.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Tang Jun knew he had made a mistake.

However, he didn't regret it. Taking this opportunity to say everything was exactly what he had planned.

Only some details differed.

"Uncle Liu!"

Tang Jun spoke solemnly, "My feelings for President Liu... no, for Ruyan, are genuine. I hope you can grant us your blessing."

As he spoke, Tang Jun reached out, seemingly wanting to grasp the delicate, white hand he so longed for.

But Liu Ruyan dodged him.

She looked at Tang Jun and whispered, "Tang Jun, are you crazy?! Do you know how much this will affect the Liu family?!"

"Fine, fine..."

Even the most mild-mannered member of the Fang family, Mrs. Fang, was amused and exasperated. "So, after all this, you're planning to stage a 'true love' drama at my Fang family's banquet?!"

"My son is going to be the scapegoat, isn't he? Like those villains in movies who break up couples and are hated by everyone?"

"This script is perfect! The Liu family's methods have truly impressed me."

With each word Mrs. Fang uttered, Mr. Liu's face paled further.

"Sister-in-law, this matter is really..."

"What is it?"

Before Mr. Liu could finish speaking, Mrs. Fang interrupted him, "You want to say it's a misunderstanding, right? It's already like this, and you still want to use 'misunderstanding' to excuse yourself."

"Do you think everyone in the Fang family is stupid?!"

Mr. Liu took a step back, his body swaying slightly.

It's all because of this damned Tang Jun.

He turned his head, glaring angrily at Tang Jun: "Tang Jun, are you crazy?! I gave you money to protect my daughter, and you want to be my son-in-law? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! As long as I'm alive, I will absolutely not agree!"

"My daughter and Xiao Chang are already engaged! Get out of here! Leave immediately! From today onwards, you're fired!"

"Engaged?"

Seeing the angry Mr. Liu, Tang Jun seemed to realize something and turned to look at Fang Chang.

"I know! I know everything! No wonder you agreed to annul the engagement so easily. So you were planning to use both families' parents to pressure Ruyan?"

"As expected, you're just a treacherous and cunning little man."

"Are you fucking an idiot?!"

Even though Fang Chang wanted to avoid the chosen one, hearing Tang Jun's words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Treacherous and cunning? I pressured Liu Ruyan? What did I pressure her for?"

"Did I force her to get engaged to me? I told you from the beginning I'd make room for you, and now I've come to break off the engagement, and you're still blaming me?"

"I've already been avoiding your attacks, and you're still pushing me? If you don't use your brain, donate it! Stop barking like a dog!"

"You dare insult me?!"

Tang Jun's expression hardened, and he took a step forward.

Fang Chang was startled to see Tang Jun was really going to attack. Although he had a cheat ability, he hadn't yet unleashed its full power!

What if he got beaten to death?

Just as Fang Chang was looking around for Ku Duo, a figure blocked his way.
