Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Outside the Xin family's gate, a black luxury car was parked quietly on the side of the road. The lights inside the car were soft, but it could hardly conceal the depressing atmosphere.

Director Yang sat in the driver's seat, his wife and daughter beside him were silent, as if a storm was brewing.

"Dad, why are we leaving like this?" Yang Yunxi finally couldn't help but break the silence, her voice full of reluctance and eagerness, "I don't want to break off the engagement, I like him, I must marry him!"

Director Yang turned to look at his daughter, with a hint of helplessness and heartache in his eyes. He knew his daughter's feelings for Xin Mujing, but today's situation was beyond his control.

"Yunxi, you've seen the Xin family's attitude." He tried to calm his daughter down. "The Xin family's attitude today is very clear. I'm afraid this engagement has to be cancelled."

"Why?" Yang Yunxi's eyes sparkled with tears. "Why do they want to cancel the engagement? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Director Yang sighed. He understood his daughter's feelings, but the Xin family's decision was not something he could influence. "The Xin family has their own considerations, and we can't interfere."

He paused and continued, "Moreover, if we do not agree to cancel the engagement, our future cooperation with the Xin family will also be affected."

Yang Yunxi became even more dissatisfied when she heard this. She clenched her fists, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.

"Why should I sacrifice my happiness for the sake of cooperation?" Her voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.

At this time, Yang's mother spoke up, her voice soft but firm: "Yunxi, don't get excited. We need to calm down and think about why the Xin family suddenly wants to cancel the engagement."

She turned to Director Yang and said, "Honey, what do you think is the reason?"

Director Yang pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know either."

He turned to his daughter, "Yunxi, have you noticed anything unusual? For example, has Xin Mujing changed recently?"

Yang Yunxi recalled her recent interactions with Xin Mujing, and a scene suddenly flashed through her mind. "Yes!"

She said excitedly, "When I went to Xin's to find Xin Mujing before, I saw a woman in his office!"

"Woman?" Mr. Yang and his mother looked at their daughter in surprise at the same time. "What kind of woman is she?"

"I don't know her." Yang Yunxi recalled, "But that woman doesn't look like a good person at first glance. She has a seductive look on her face."

She paused and continued, "Moreover, Xin Mujing was mean to me for her, and now he wants to break off the engagement with me!"

After hearing this, Father Yang frowned. He subconsciously thought that the woman might be a saboteur, so he said to Yang Yunxi: "Yunxi, don't worry, I will investigate it carefully. If it is true as you said, the Xin family will never allow such a woman to enter the house."

After hearing what her father said, Yang Yunxi's dissatisfaction and anger subsided a little. She knew that her father was a capable man and he would definitely seek justice for her.

Yang's mother also comforted her, "Yunxi, don't worry. After your father investigates the matter, we will decide what to do."

Yang Yunxi nodded, and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart were slightly relieved. She knew that no matter what the result was, her family would support her and accompany her.

So she took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and prepared to face whatever might happen next. Then the family drove back home.

……

The atmosphere in the living room of the Xin family villa was a bit solemn. The Yang family had just left, and Xin's father and mother were about to go upstairs to rest. At this time, footsteps were heard on the stairs, breaking the silence of the night.

Xin Mujing, wearing a dark nightgown, walked slowly down the stairs.

"Mu Jing, why are you still awake so late?" Xin's father called him and motioned him to sit down. Xin Mu Jing sat down on the sofa and looked at his father and mother.

Father Xin sighed softly and began to recount what had just happened: "The people from the Yang family came, and I sent them away. However, their faces were not very good. After all, breaking off an engagement is like that..."

Xin Mujing listened quietly without interrupting his father, and just said "Oh" lightly.

Father Xin looked at his son with mixed feelings. He knew the importance of the Yang family's kindness to the Xin family, and he also knew how much impact this decision to cancel the engagement would have on the family. But looking at his son's indifferent expression, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

"Mu Jing, you have to be careful." Father Xin warned, "Father Yang has been in the business world for many years and has extraordinary means. He may be dissatisfied with the cancellation of the engagement this time and try to trip you up."

Xin Mujing nodded, indicating that he would pay attention. He had been used to being independent since he was a child, and was already accustomed to the disputes between families.

"It's easy for me to say, but your grandfather..." Father Xin frowned, "He has always valued the kindness of the Yang family to the Xin family. I'm afraid he won't easily agree to cancel the engagement."

When Xin's mother heard this, her heart tightened. She knew that the old man was grateful to the Yang family, and she was also worried that he would vent his anger on Mu Jing. She looked at Xin's father with expectation in her eyes.

Father Xin saw his wife's worry, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mu Jing has grown up, he is capable of handling these things. Since he wants to cancel the engagement, let him talk to Grandpa himself."

After hearing what her husband said, Xin's mother's worries were slightly relieved. She knew that Xin's father was right. Mu Jing had been smart since he was a child and knew how to handle interpersonal relationships.

She looked at her son and saw a determined gleam in his eyes.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry." Xin Mujing stood up and said solemnly, "I will explain everything to grandpa. I believe he will understand my decision."

Seeing their son's determination, Xin's father and mother felt relieved. They knew that Xin Mujing had always been a child with his own opinions, and his decision must have been carefully considered.

Afterwards, Father Xin and Mother Xin went upstairs to rest. Xin Mujing stayed alone in the living room. He walked to the French window, looked at the night view outside the window and fell into deep thought. His heart was filled with longing for Ji Yan.

Xin Mujing thought silently: "Yan Yan, wait for me. When I have dealt with all this, I will definitely come to find you. This time, I will never let you leave me again." There was a firm light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already seen the day when he would meet Ji Yan again.
