This girl... She finally came to her senses...

Xu YaLe returned to her office. She would definitely do what she had just promised Zhang Heng in the lounge.

As such, she immediately called the Zhang and Xu families. She invited them for a meal, and at the same time, she could explain her situation.

Naturally, as one of the parties involved, Zhang Heng also had to attend.

At the dinner, their families were warmly asking about each other's well beings.

After they ordered and the dishes were served, Xu YaLe stood up and said—

"I have something to tell everyone—"

Xu YaLe's mother anxiously tugged Xu YaLe to sit down, because as a dignified lady, she should not stand up and talk to the elders during meal time.

Xu YaLe ignored her mother's protests. She just blurted out— "I want to break off the engagement with Zhang Heng."

Zhang Heng lowered his head and silently ate the meat in his bowl. It seemed like he was not bothered about the undisguised and burning looks that were shot from his surroundings— That was too hasty!

Moreover, this made it seem like he let down someone else's daughter, which caused the girl to initiate the breakup. However, Zhang Heng thought that since this would allow him to get rid of this perplexing nominal title, it would be easier for him to confess about his relationship with Gu Zhun in the future.

"Why?" It was not the guy's parents who spoke. Instead, it was Xu YaLe's mother who spoke.

Although they were not thinking clearly when they agreed to their daughter's engagement, the other party was the Zhang family after all. They were very wealthy. Even if there was no true love, it still couldn't be considered a loss, right?

After all, this world practiced monogamy... Moreover, Zhang Heng was also considered quite an honest kid.

(No no no no... In front of Gu Zhun, he was very sly—)

Xu YaLe replied: "That's because I don't love Zhang Heng. I only treated him as my brother. These few days, I finally understood my own feelings."

"Child, do you like another man?" Zhang Heng's mother was more thoughtful. She could guess the girl's thoughts in just a short while.

Xu YaLe embarrassedly nodded and said yes.


Afterwards, Xu YaLe's mother was stiff in her seat. On the other hand, it was rare for Zhang Heng's mother to talk so much at once. She hurriedly asked what sort of person the other man was. At that moment, it was as though Zhang Heng and Xu YaLe's mothers had switched personalities.

Xu YaLe immediately found a way to get out of this situation— "If everyone supports me, then next time, I will bring him to see you! After all, Zhang Heng's mom and dad watched me grow up too!"

"That's right!" Zhang Heng's mother had a look of approval on her face. Afterwards, she turned her head and told Xu YaLe's mother, "It's already the 21st century. We don't have to act out that sort of scene from a television drama right? We must support the freedom to choose one's spouse!"

"Of course... hahaha..." Xu YaLe's mother gave an awkward and humourless grin. She was really unable to refute anything.

Since their wives, who were concerned about the matters, approved of it, then the dads had nothing to say about it.

Zhang Heng's father boldly drank with Xu YaLe's father.

After that, Zhang Heng spent the whole night eating meat while Gu Zhun was at home, still working late into the night...
