Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 260

If everything was relatively calm at the Ji household, the Sheng family was a completely different story.

On his way home, Sheng Muyang called his parents to briefly report his safety. As soon as he stepped into the house, Sheng Yong’an and Tao Hui hurried over. Not seeing Sheng Yue, they immediately panicked. “Why are you back alone? Where’s Yue’er?”

Sheng Muyang’s jaw tightened, his expression indifferent.

Sensing something amiss, Sheng Yong’an couldn’t help but press, “Speak up! What exactly happened?”

Not wanting his parents to be caught off guard by their own biological daughter one day, Sheng Muyang finally told them everything Sheng Yue had done to him on the ship in the alternate dimension. Sheng Yong’an and Tao Hui were instantly stunned.

They cherished their biological daughter, believing Sheng Yue to be gentle, obedient, and sensible. But in comparison, they naturally trusted their straightforward son more, having watched him grow up.

Moreover, since Sheng Muyang was willing to enter that world to protect his sister, he wouldn’t lie or falsely accuse her.

The couple’s faces turned extremely grim, and they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts…

Sheng Yue was driven back to the Sheng residence by Xiao Zheng. Just as she was about to say “thank you” after getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng had already turned the wheel and driven off.

Pressing her lips together, Sheng Yue turned and walked toward the house. When she entered, she saw the three of them sitting in the living room. Instantly realizing something, her face turned even paler. She immediately started crying and walked toward Sheng Muyang, sobbing as she walked over, “Brother, I’m sorry… Brother, I really know I was wrong.”

Sheng Muyang remained indifferent.

Both Sheng Yong’an and Tao Hui had stiff expressions.

Sheng Yue collapsed onto the floor, crying. If it had been in the past, they would have been heartbroken, but recalling what their son had just said, they felt only a deep chill in their hearts.

Sheng Muyang moved his leg away from Sheng Yue’s grasp, his face expressionless. “Get up.”

“I won’t get up. Brother, I won’t get up unless you forgive me.”

Sheng Yue sobbed and choked, “I—I was just so scared and lost my mind. Brother, didn’t you say you were willing to protect me at all costs? You also said that if there was danger, you’d let me leave alone. So why are you blaming me now? Or were you just saying that?”

Sheng Yue had no choice but to argue irrationally.

Sheng Muyang found it utterly unbelievable. “I’m willing to risk my life to protect you, but you attacking me to save yourself are two completely different things. Sheng Yue, are you still trying to twist words even now?”

Sheng Yue bit her lip, crying as she looked at him. “Brother, we’re siblings…”

Sheng Muyang let out a long sigh, “So, I don’t hate you, but I can’t treat you the same as before. Get up.”

Sheng Yue still refused to get up. Sheng Muyang stood up directly and walked around her to go upstairs…

Sheng Yong’an and Tao Hui sighed and left as well, leaving Sheng Yue sitting on the living room carpet, crying.

It wasn’t until dinner that the four of them sat together again, but still, no one spoke to Sheng Yue.

Her eyes were red and swollen as she picked at her food with chopsticks, looking very pitiful.

At that moment, Tao Hui suddenly felt a bit annoyed… Sheng Yue had always been like this, but back then, her heart was full of pity, thinking the child was suffering. But now, seeing it, she only felt that she was too petty.

But Tao Hui held back and didn’t say anything.

Sheng Yong’an suddenly said to Sheng Muyang, “You said Nuan Nuan saved you… How about this, invite her to come home for dinner on Friday. It’s been a long time since our family sat down to eat together.”

Sheng Muyang was slightly taken aback, finding it somewhat unbelievable. “Dad, Nuan Nuan has already severed ties with us. She won’t come.”

Sheng Yong’an frowned. “What are you talking about? She’s a member of our Sheng family!”

Sheng Muyang suddenly felt it was absurd. He paused and said in a low voice, “Dad, have you forgotten? The agreement to sever ties was signed by you personally… The agreement where we forced her down a dead-end road!”

Sheng Yong’an froze for a moment, his expression turning a bit ugly, but then he snorted coldly, “Isn’t she fine? Does she still hold a grudge against the parents who raised her for twenty years?”

Sheng Muyang couldn’t bear it any longer and slammed his chopsticks down. “Dad, how many times have you and Mom mentioned raising her for twenty years? Not to mention that it was you who brought her home back then—what wrong could an infant have done? Even if we consider the twenty years of upbringing, saving my life and Sheng Yue’s is repayment enough. Dad, can you wake up a little?”

Beside him, Sheng Yue bit her lip, gripping her chopsticks tightly.

So now, are they treating her as if she doesn’t exist? Are they regretting how they treated Sheng Nuan before?

Do they want to bring Sheng Nuan back to be their good daughter again?

Sheng Yong’an and Tao Hui looked extremely uncomfortable after Sheng Muyang’s words. After a long while, Sheng Yong’an snorted coldly, “I don’t believe she truly dares to sever ties with us. What kind of family is the Ji family? Without her maiden family, can she still gain a foothold there?”

Tao Hui couldn’t help nodding in agreement.

Sheng Muyang shook his head, got up silently, and left directly…

The atmosphere in the Sheng family dropped to freezing point, but it wasn’t over yet.

The day after returning from that world, Ji Chengzhou called Sheng Yong’an, proposing to break off the engagement. He expressed his willingness to offer compensation, and the terms could be proposed by the Sheng family; he would agree as long as they were reasonable.

Sheng Yong’an’s face turned livid instantly, almost unable to resist cursing over the phone.

Break off the engagement? Just a week after the engagement, they want to break it off—what do they take the Sheng family for…

Sheng Yong’an was so furious he nearly smashed up the study, but deep down, he knew all too well that, in front of the Ji family, the Sheng family was insignificant.

Even if the Sheng family had some assets, they couldn’t compare to a giant like the Ji family.

Ji Chengzhou made it clear over the phone that he was determined to break off the engagement. Knowing he couldn’t change it, Sheng Yong’an could only try to salvage face as much as possible while maximizing their benefits.

This is the inherent mindset of a businessman.

Nuan Nuan is still part of the Ji family; he didn’t believe that the Ji family would cut things off completely!

When Sheng Yue learned that Ji Chengzhou wanted to break off the engagement, she was stunned, her mind going blank. Suddenly snapping back to her senses, she turned around, got into her car, and drove straight to the Ji residence.

With a screech, the car stopped directly at the main entrance. Sheng Yue rushed inside, heading straight for Ji Chengzhou’s study, not even knocking before pushing the door open.

Ji Chengzhou was sitting behind his desk, lost in thought…

He knew that breaking off the engagement was somewhat disadvantageous for him as well. His position within the Ji Corporation was still unstable, and there shouldn’t be any negative news.

Moreover, he was clear in his heart—the person he wanted no longer liked him and had truly become someone else’s wife.

He wasn’t one to be driven by love. Marrying anyone was about the same… However, whenever he thought about becoming intimately connected with Sheng Yue in the future, he felt a surge of disgust.

A woman might not be smart, might not even be beautiful, but she must not be vicious.

He couldn’t accept living a life of pretense with such a woman. It would do him no good.

Just then, the study door was flung open with a bang… Ji Chengzhou looked up to see Sheng Yue standing there with red eyes, staring intently at him…

T/N: Who else predicted that Ji Chengzhou was gonna catch feelings for the MC… (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
