Yan Jin's fingers gently stroked the yellowed paper. In the photo, two young men stood side by side with bright smiles. One of them was Xiang's father when he was young, and the other one was someone she had never seen before, but she felt strangely familiar with him.

"Who...is this person?" Yan Jin's voice trembled slightly.

Xiang Yu stared at the photo, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes, "He is... my father's best friend, and your mother's brother."

"What?" Yan Jin covered his mouth in shock, as if something exploded in his mind.

"Back then, the two families were old friends. They started a business together and were as close as brothers." Xiang Yu's tone was heavy, "But later, because of a misunderstanding, the two turned against each other, which eventually led to decades of feud between the two families."

Yan Jin's breathing became rapid. She couldn't wait to know what kind of misunderstanding could cause two people who were once as close as brothers to become enemies.

Xiang Yu handed her the information he had investigated, "Back then, your mother's brother was framed, which led to the bankruptcy of the company, and your father was mistakenly believed to be the mastermind behind it."

The truth was like a flash of lightning, illuminating Yan Jin's heart. She finally understood why the elders of the family had always been opposed to this marriage and why the relationship between the two families was so tense.

"This is all a misunderstanding." Yan Jin muttered to himself, feeling mixed emotions.

Xiang Yu held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and whispered comfortingly: "Now the misunderstanding has been resolved, everything is over."

After learning the truth, Xiang's father and Yan's mother were also filled with grief. A misunderstanding at that time caused them to lose their best friend and also plunged the two families into a decades-long feud.

"Jin'er, child, it's Daddy who is sorry for you." Mother Yan held Yan Jin's hand tightly with tears in her eyes, "Dad shouldn't have been blinded by hatred and wrongly blamed the Xiang family."

"Aunt, please don't say that." Xiang Yu supported Yan's mother and said sincerely, "Let the past be the past. We should cherish the people around us."

Mother Yan nodded and looked at Father Xiang, "Old Xiang, what do you think?"

Father Xiang sighed, reached out his hand, held Mother Yan's hand, his eyes slightly reddened, "A Ling, I'm sorry, I have wronged you for so many years."

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the living room, adding a touch of warmth to this originally cold room. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu smiled at each other, knowing that this marriage finally received the blessing of both parents.

"Dad, Mom, we..."

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu looked at each other, with determination and love in each other's eyes. They decided not to hide it anymore and fight for their own happiness. On a sunny afternoon, the two families got together and enjoyed a rare time together. Yan Jin took a deep breath and held Xiang Yu's hand.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, we have something to say."

The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere was slightly stagnant because of this sentence. Xiang Yu felt the warmth of Yan Jin's palm, gave her an encouraging look, and then spoke,

"We decided to be together not because of family, but because of love."

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. The expressions of the two families became subtle, with some surprised, some confused, and some vaguely worried.

"We know that there were many grievances between the two families in the past, but those are things of the previous generation," Yan Jin's voice was gentle but firm, "We hope to let go of the past and bravely pursue our own happiness."

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu spoke to each other, telling the elders how they got to know each other, how they were attracted to each other, and how they overcame various obstacles to be together. Their sincerity and determination, as well as the affection in their eyes, touched everyone.

Father Xiang was the first to react. He looked at the couple in front of him and sighed with relief, "Children, as long as you truly love each other, let the past be the past."

Mother Yan also held her daughter's hand with tears in her eyes, "Jin'er, Mom only wants you to be happy."

In the end, the two families put aside their past grudges and sincerely accepted each other. Seeing the relieved smiles on their parents' faces, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu finally put down the huge stone in their hearts, smiled at each other, and their eyes were full of happiness.

However, just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, a mysterious email broke the hard-earned peace. There was no signature in the email, only a cold warning:

"Do you think this is the end? The game has just begun. I will make you pay for your past mistakes!"

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's faces suddenly became solemn. They had a premonition that a bigger storm was approaching... The email was like a thorn, deeply piercing Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's hearts. The originally joyful atmosphere was dispersed, replaced by solemnity and uneasiness.

"Don't worry, we'll face it together." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand tightly, his tone firm. Yan Jin held his hand back, with the same firmness in her eyes. They had been through so many ups and downs, and this relationship was already indestructible.

Xiang Yu mobilized all resources to investigate the source of the email. At the same time, Yan Jin also used his connections in the business community to secretly collect clues. They knew that passive defense would only make the other party more unscrupulous, and only by taking the initiative could they completely crush this conspiracy.

As the investigation deepened, a name gradually surfaced-Xiang Tianhua. He was a distant relative of the Xiang family. He was expelled from the family business because of poor management in his early years. Over the years, he has been holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"It turned out to be him!" A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. He did not expect that Xiang Tianhua would be so cruel and would not hesitate to hurt innocent people for revenge.

"Why did he do this?" Yan Jin asked, frowning.

"Jealous! He has always been jealous of my status and achievements in the family and wants to replace me." There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiang Yu's tone. He had never thought of competing with others for anything, but some people just wanted to seek their own death.

A war without gunpowder has begun. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin joined forces, using their respective advantages to fight a battle of wits and courage with Xiang Tianhua. They took every step carefully, dismantled Xiang Tianhua's conspiracy one by one, and finally forced him into a desperate situation.

In a carefully planned operation, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin invited Xiang Tianhua to an abandoned factory. Faced with the overwhelming evidence, Xiang Tianhua finally collapsed, crying bitterly and confessing his crimes.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong! I was just too jealous of Xiang Yu, and I didn't want to see him live better than me!" Xiang Tianhua fell to his knees, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Do you think this can make up for the mistakes you made?" Xiang Yu looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"I..." Xiang Tianhua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"Everything you have done has caused indelible harm to us. We will use the law to punish you!" Yan Jin's voice was cold and firm, revealing an irresistible force.

Xiang Tianhua was eventually taken away by the police, and what awaits him is severe punishment by law. However, just when Xiang Yu and Yan Jin thought everything was settled, Yan's mother suddenly found them, hesitant to speak...

The sudden appearance of Yan's mother cast a shadow over Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's hearts. Yan's mother hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed deeply and said, "Children, there are some things that are time to tell you."

Yan's mother told the truth about the marriage contract made by the two parents and how Xiang Tianhua used it to sow discord. It turned out that Xiang Tianhua not only forged the email, but also deliberately spread rumors to make Yan Jin mistakenly believe that Xiang Yu married her for the benefit of the family.

"Why did he do this?" Xiang Yu couldn't believe it. Xiang Tianhua's malice was far beyond his imagination.

"Tianhua... has always been jealous of your father. Back then, your grandfather chose your father to inherit the family business, and he held a grudge and tried every means to seek revenge..." Mother Yan's tone was full of helplessness and grief.

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were unable to calm down after learning the truth. The love they once believed in turned out to be a carefully planned conspiracy. This made them doubt and waver in their feelings for each other.

In the dead of night, Yan Jin stood in front of the French window, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Xiang Yu walked behind her, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered: "Jin'er, no matter what happens, my heart for you will not change."

Yan Jin turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "But... the beginning of our relationship was a mistake..."

"No, this is not a mistake. I believe that even without this engagement, we would still meet and fall in love." Xiang Yu held her face and kissed away her tears affectionately.

"But, what about your father..." Yan Jin was still worried. Xiang's father had always been against their marriage. Now that he knew the truth, it would be even more difficult for him to accept it.

"I will convince him, believe me." Xiang Yu said firmly. He knew that if he wanted to protect this hard-earned love, he would have to face more tests.

Yan Jin leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down. They promised each other that no matter what difficulties they encountered in the future, they would go through them together. After going through many tests, their love became more indestructible.

However, the peaceful life only lasted for a few days. Yan Jin suddenly felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor's words stunned both of them...
