Chapter 13

Yin Xiaoxiao's face was pale. She stood there without saying a word.

She could not understand them. They had forced her to marry, and now she had gotten married. How could she have become a "slatternly daughter"? What was more, in her father's heart, her friends and classmates were all her "benefactors"? If such words were heard by others, they would laugh their heads off!

She was his daughter. How could he treat her like this! And how could she bear it!

"Dad, am I so slatternly in your eyes?" Yin Xiaoxiao asked Yin Baifan directly and looked him straight in the eye. However, none of them noticed that Yin Ruoyun, who had gone to open the door, hadn't come back for a long time. "You asked me to get married, and then I got married. And now, less than two hours after I got married, you force me to divorce! Are the interests of the Yin family always more important than the happiness of your children for you? Is it not enough to wake you up by the fact that my elder brother has been forced to travel to distant parts?"

It seemed that after slapping Yin Xiaoxiao for the first time, Yin Baifan didn't mind slapping her again. When Yin Baifan raised his palm, Yin Xiaoxiao just closed her eyes and prepared to receive it. She was always a forthright person and talked bluntly, though she knew her words would offend Yin Baifan.

The expected slap didn't fall, and Yin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes slowly.

"Hello, Mr.Yin. I am Yin Xiaoxiao's husband, Jing Liyuan."

Jing Liyuan held his right hand to catch Yin Baifan's wrist. Such a simple but firm action suddenly made Yin Xiaoxiao want to cry. She was not a girl who had tended to cry since childhood, nor was she a person who was willing to be gentle and soft. However, she was so eager to rely on this man...

The whole house was quiet. No one spoke.

Jing Liyuan used his left hand to pull Yin Xiaoxiao over behind him so as to protect her. Then he released Yin Baifan's wrist and nodded his head as an apology for his impolite behavior with a touch of humility that made the others blush with shame.

Li Meng looked at the man in front of her, as dazed as her daughter Yin Ruoyun, then she went to ask doubtfully, '"What did you say? You are Yin Xiaoxiao's husband?"

Yin Ruoyun looked at Jing Liyuan, her face turning pale. Needless to say, everyone could tell at first glance who was the more excellent and charming one between Xiang Chen and Jing Liyuan. Why? Why did Yin Xiaoxiao always have such good luck! After Xiang Chen dumped her, she immediately found Jing Liyuan!

Fingernails dug into her palms as Yin Ruoyun looked at Yin Xiaoxiao with envy.

Jing Liyuan raised his eyes and looked at the people in the room casually, then he took Yin Xiaoxiao's hand in his, and the warm feeling ran through his blood vessels, to the extremities of his bones, and finally to his heart.

"Sorry I was late. There was an emergency case just now and I had to rush back to the hospital." Jing Liyuan showed his good manners. His good family education had made him behave well even in situations that he disliked. He continued, "I come here today to discuss our marriage with Xiaoxiao's parents."

Yin Baifan was still angry, but the appearance of Jing Liyuan truly let him forget his anger temporarily. He asked, "When did you two get married? Why should I agree to your marriage? Don't you know that Xiaoxiao is already engaged to Manager Zhang?"

Yin Xiaoxiao looked at her father incredulously. For the sake of the Yin family, he would resort to extreme measures. He had even begun to slander her in front of her husband. Did he really think that his children were supposed to sacrifice themselves for the Yin family?

Jing Liyuan didn't say anything and just took a look at the so-called Manager Zhang. Then he said softly, "Sorry, as far as I know, Xiaoxiao has not married Manager Zhang yet. As long as she is unmarried, she has the right to choose."

It was the first time that Jing Liyuan had spoken Yin Xiaoxiao's name so intimately. This elegant and outstanding man stood beside her, sheltered her, and protected her behind him. For the first time, Yin Xiaoxiao actually felt that she knew how a man should be!
