Chapter 289 - 290 Date (11)
When Qin Mobai arrived at the Qin Family, the press conference had already ended. He stood in the chairman’s office, which was Qin Sheng’s office, with a cold expression.
He was the only one standing, while Qin Sheng, Old Madam Qin, and Shen Ruozhuo sat.
After entering, Qin Mobai first glanced at Old Madam Qin, thinking that during the time she lived at home previously, she had changed her opinion of Lou Xi and could accept her.
Yet today, it was also Old Madam Qin who brought Shen Ruozhuo to the press conference and acknowledged her as the Qin family’s granddaughter-in-law.
However, all of this was done behind Qin Mobai’s back. By the time he found out and went to the Qin Family, everything was already over.
Qin Mobai was very angry, looking at his grandfather and grandmother, but he had always been a filial child, and even if he knew the elders were wrong, he wouldn’t talk back to them.
He always believed that if he couldn’t afford to confront these two elders, then he should just keep his distance.
But now, the matter of principle had touched Qin Mobai’s bottom line, which he could not tolerate.
"Grandfather, grandmother, I previously told you that my engagement with Miss Shen was about to be canceled, and now you publicly announce my marriage to her at a high-profile event without anyone knowing. How can this engagement be canceled?" Qin Mobai’s face was very displeased.
However, after Qin Mobai spoke these words, Qin Sheng’s face turned even more sour.
Qin Sheng glanced at Shen Ruozhuo, who had been sitting there silent, and felt sorry for the girl.
He turned back, looking at Qin Mobai with the authority of an elder.
"The Shen Family girl helped you clear the air, and not only do you not thank her, you still want to break off the engagement. Have you gone mad?" Qin Sheng also did not show Qin Mobai a friendly face at this time. "You better apologize and thank the Shen Family girl! Were it not for her, you would be in a scandalous mess, how would you explain going to the hotel with that woman?"
"Grandfather, there is nothing to explain. Do I need everyone’s approval to go to a hotel with my fiancée?" Qin Mobai had always considered Lou Xi as his only fiancée.
After he said this, Shen Ruozhuo sitting on the sofa forced a smile of embarrassment.
"Sorry, I seem to have... caused trouble." Shen Ruozhuo said apologetically, "I thought this would help you solve the immediate trouble, I didn’t realize... Sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll go clarify with the reporters now."
Hearing Shen Ruozhuo say this, Qin Sheng felt even more embarrassed, because the girl was thinking for Qin Mobai, yet Qin Mobai kept protecting that woman!
If she kept protecting that woman, maybe the entire group would be gone!
"Ruozhuo, you don’t need to apologize. The one who should apologize is Qin Mobai!" Qin Sheng defended Shen Ruozhuo, not letting her leave, nor allowing her to continue apologizing to Qin Mobai.
Shen Ruozhuo also looked at Qin Mobai with an awkward expression, more so, an apology for acting on her own.
Qin Mobai was only thinking about how Lou Xi would feel seeing this news, the only person he worried about was Lou Xi.
He felt he couldn’t continue speaking with his grandfather and grandmother, he frowned and said, "Do as you please. But the person I’m marrying is only Lou Xi. This matter, you can’t decide."
After saying this, Qin Mobai was about to walk outside.
