Tan Nana continued to provoke Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin, causing trouble for them. During a family banquet for Ye family's grandmother's eightieth birthday, Tan Nana felt conflicted about revealing Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin's past relationship. Meanwhile, Ye Yanting, drunk and jealous, confronted Gu Wanqin and led her to his room, where they confessed their lingering feelings and shared a kiss.

Tan Nana calculated the time. When she felt it was about right, she went upstairs. Ye Qiu, after finally finishing the social engagement, frowned when he noticed the absence of Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin. As he lifted his eyes to look at Tan Nana going upstairs, his heart skipped a beat, but it was too late to stop her.

"Ah!" Tan Nana opened Ye Yanting’s room door and let out a gasp. Her face went pale, as if she had been greatly shocked.

The guests in the villa looked over upon hearing the noise, and the crowd gradually moved in that direction. Ye Qiu sighed heavily and quickly went upstairs; however, the Tan Family parents, concerned for their daughter, had already gone up. Also going upstairs was Ren Zhen, Ye Qiu’s mother, because the opened room door belonged to her younger son, so upon seeing Tan Nana’s expression, she panicked, thinking something had happened to Ye Yanting.

The Tan Family parents stood beside their daughter, and upon seeing the scene inside, their faces turned dark, almost losing their temper right there. Ren Zhen also turned white with anger and then was filled with rage.

Seeing Ye Qiu coming up, she awkwardly said, "Nothing happened, you should go back down and take care of the guests."

However, Ye Qiu didn’t listen. It’s already like this, and they still wanted to cover it up? Even though he initially wanted to help these two, the fact that they couldn’t control themselves at his grandmother’s birthday banquet would anger even the most good-natured person.

He looked solemnly at the two inside the room, tightly wrapped in the quilt. Both had bare shoulders, and the room had an overbearing scent—any adult would know what had just happened.

As soon as Gu Wanqin saw Ye Qiu’s deep gaze, she began to cry, her face completely bloodless, as if severely hit, and then she buried her head deeply into the quilt.

"You!" Gu Wanqin’s parents also arrived, and they looked incredulously at the scene in front of them. Their proud daughter had done such a shameless thing in this setting!

"Qiu’er, disperse the guests, and apologize to everyone." Ye Zhiliang said coldly, glaring sharply at Ye Yanting.

The guests didn’t know what had happened, but since the host family was disbanding the party, they couldn’t stay. They left, whispering among themselves; it’s imaginable that by tomorrow, gossip about the Ye Family would spread throughout the entire city of A.

Moments later, even if Ye Qiu wanted to hide it, he couldn’t keep it from the Old Lady. Fortunately, her health was robust enough not to fall ill from rage, but she did severely reprimand her son and daughter-in-law: "This is the well-bred son you’ve spoiled, he doesn’t even spare his future sister-in-law."

"Wanqin and I are truly in love," Ye Yanting stood in front of Gu Wanqin and said, "I hope you all can fulfill us."

"True love, huh," Tan Nana mocked, "How many days have it been since you asked me to be your girlfriend? You must’ve been in love with her already, no wonder you’ve always ridiculed me, no wonder you never had a kind expression for me. Turns out you liked someone else. If that’s the case, why did you intentionally deceive and use my affections?"

"I’m sorry." Ye Yanting was willing to take the blame.

"Slap!" Tan Nana gave him a hard slap, "Does sorry have any use?"

Perhaps he didn’t expect that the usually obedient person would dare to hit him, Ye Yanting looked back with piercing eyes.

Tan Nana, unafraid: "You still have the nerve to glare at me, shouldn’t I have hit you? Ye Yanting, I used to like you, but I’m not cheap. Let’s end it today, and from now on we’re strangers. Remember, I’m the one breaking up with you."

Tan Family’s father also looked questioningly at Ye Zhiliang: "The Ye Family is truly well-mannered, do you think it’s reasonable to deceive my daughter? Is my daughter easy to bully?"

Ye Zhiliang now wished he didn’t have such a son as Ye Yanting. The Tan Family might be arrogant, but he had no choice but to apologize. Who could blame him when his son had done such a disgraceful thing?

"Brother Tan, this is due to my lack of strict parenting. I apologize to you and your daughter, I will personally visit another day to seek your forgiveness. Nana is a good child; it’s our Yanting who doesn’t deserve her." Ye Zhiliang’s apology was sincere, preventing the Tan Family from continuing their aggression. After all, it’s a matter between their children, and their daughter was always the one chasing; they had nothing to say about the betrayal.

"Let’s go home, and you are not allowed to see this Ye Yanting again." Mrs. Tan said angrily. Every child is raised as a precious treasure; the hard lesson has been learned, the Tan Family’s daughter will never be allowed to chase someone so shamelessly again.

After the Tan Family left, the remaining Ye Family and Gu Family members were left with awkwardness and anger. Ye Qiu sat aside with his head down, while his grandmother continually comforted him.

"There are so many women in the world, let’s find carefully; there must be someone excellent, beautiful, and truly loving you. This engagement is canceled, Grandma will support you."

Ye Qiu opened his mouth: "Grandma, I’m fine, you should rest early, it’s late already."

"No, I can sleep anytime, but I’m uneasy seeing you like this."

On hearing this, everyone looked over. If we talk about the biggest victim of this incident, it was undoubtedly Ye Qiu. Having his little brother put a green hat on him, was something no one could accept.

"Big Brother, I know I’ve wronged you, but Wanqin and I are truly in love. I hope you can fulfill us," Ye Yanting said with guilt on his face. He could glare at Tan Nana because he didn’t care about her, but he couldn’t do this to Ye Qiu, his biological brother who had always treated him well.

"Fulfill you? Do you expect my grandson to marry this broken woman?" Grandma was a protective elder. Although Ye Yanting was also her grandson, he couldn’t compare to Ye Qiu, the child she personally raised.

Hearing her call her daughter a broken woman, the Gu Family parents’ faces darkened. Mrs. Gu, unable to bear it, slapped her daughter who had been crying all along, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Their two sons, one betrothed to the elder, had an affair with the younger. If the elder was a scoundrel and the younger outstanding, it would have been something, but it was the opposite. She abandoned a good heir who loved her for a scoundrel. How could the Gu Family face people from now on?

"The engagement between Ye Qiu and Gu Wanqin is hereby canceled. You four adults have no objections, do you?" The Old Lady said with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

"None," Ye Zhiliang loosened his tie, "Moreover, tomorrow I will transfer half of the company shares to Ye Qiu. After I die, the other half will still be his. From now on, Ye Yanting will only receive a fixed allowance from the family."

"Husband!" Ren Zhen exclaimed, seemingly unwilling.

Ye Zhiliang glared at her: "He did such a thing to his elder brother, shouldn’t he pay some price? What’s your opinion?"

"As long as you let me and Wanqin be together, I don’t care," Ye Yanting nodded.

"We don’t agree." It was Gu Wanqin’s father who spoke, as everyone turned to look at him.
