Qin Youyou’s expression changed slightly and she tugged at Lu Shiyan’s sleeve, as if she was explaining to him, “Shiyan, I didn’t mean anything by what I said just now. I’m just worried about my sister, who has been having conflicts with the family…”

“Enough!” Mr. Lu shouted in a domineering manner, and everyone instantly fell silent.

Madam Lu’s expression darkened. “Shiyan, what are you doing? Today is our family banquet for welcoming Miaomiao back. Why did you bring an outsider here?”

“Perhaps you guys have some misunderstandings about me? I got together with Shiyan five years ago, but haven’t visited you yet. It’s my fault for not being considerate enough.” Qin Youyou hid behind Lu Shiyan like a frightened deer.

Madam Lu said sternly, “Together? Shiyan has been engaged to Miaomiao since he was young. Our family only has one daughter-in-law, Miaomiao. Who do you think you are?!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly. Madam Lu’s words shocked her and Qin Youyou’s face turned even paler. Qin Youyou reached out and tugged at Lu Shiyan’s sleeve, as if asking for help. “Shiyan, I…”

“Miaomiao is here today, so I don’t want others to disturb my good mood. Tell her to stay away. Lu Shiyan, come here! You’re 27 years old, so you should understand how important Miaomiao is to our family,” Madam Lu said.

Lu Shiyan narrowed his eyes. His original intention was to cancel the engagement, but Qin Youyou was too anxious. From the moment she appeared, Lu Shiyan was already unhappy.

“Qin Youyou, leave first and wait.” After saying that, Lu Shiyan shook off Qin Youyou’s hand. When his gaze swept past Qin Miaomiao, he froze for a moment. From the moment he entered until now, Qin Miaomiao had never looked him in the eye. Her cold attitude… actually gave him a familiar feeling. He even saw a trace of the girl from that night five years ago.

After Qin Youyou left, Qin Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and took out the agreement to cancel the engagement from her bag. “After signing it, my engagement with Lu Shiyan will be annulled. Mr. Lu already has someone else in his heart. I don’t like to get between other people.”

Madam Lu panicked and held Qin Miaomiao’s hand. “Miaomiao, can you not break off the engagement? Shiyan won’t marry Qin Youyou. Our family won’t accept a daughter-in-law other than you.”

Qin Miaomiao wanted to break free from Madam Lu’s grip, but Madam Lu’s grip was too tight and she couldn’t hurt her, so she could only let her hold her hand. At the same time, she explained, “I already have a child. Lu Shiyan and I aren’t compatible.”

“Of course you two are suitable! This baby is so cute. I started to like him the moment I saw him. When he called me grandpa just now, my heart melted. Miaomiao, don’t worry. Our family will definitely dote on the baby as our own.” Mr. Lu even took the initiative to pick Qin Xiaoshu up.

Seeing that Lu Shiyan was silent, Mr. Lu’s expression turned stern and he kicked Lu Shiyan. “Say something. Why are you standing here? If you don’t say a word, Miaomiao will suffer when she’s with you in the future.”

Lu Shiyan’s face turned pale. “Dad, Mom, we can be grateful to the Qin family, but why do we have to force Qin Miaomiao to do something she doesn’t like? If she’s unwilling, let’s forget about this marriage.”

“That’s because you’re useless!” Mr. Lu roared angrily. After shouting, he realized that he was still holding Qin Xiaoshu in his arms, so he immediately coaxed him. “Baby, I’m sorry. I was too loud. Did I scare you?”

Qin Xiaoshu shook his head. “Grandpa, I’m fine.”

Madam Lu looked at Qin Xiaoshu. She could tell that Qin Xiaoshu was very important to Qin Miaomiao, so she said, “Hubby, did you notice that the baby looks a little similar to Shiyan? Lu Shiyan is already 27 years old, but the marriage hasn’t been settled. Now that we have a baby, we don’t have to care about him anymore. In the future, you will be our eldest grandson, okay?”

Madam Lu’s eyes were fixed on Qin Miaomiao as she said, “Miaomiao, look, these are all gifts from us. I’ve also brought our Lu family’s heirlooms. We really want to treat you well. Can you give us a chance?”

Madam Lu and Mr. Lu’s words stunned Qin Miaomiao. After calming down for a moment, she took a deep breath and said, “Sorry, I want to go to the washroom.” After saying that, Qin Miaomiao ran to the washroom, as if she was escaping.

Old Mr. Lu and Madam Lu looked at each other. Had they frightened Miaomiao?
