His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Yang Sitong's face flushed in shades of white and green as her lips quivered nonstop, uttering, "I-Impossible… impossible!"

In fact, she could not even remember when the two of them had left Lu Yanchen's place. Suddenly, as though something struck her, she shouted out, "Cabinets! I haven't ransacked the cabinets yet! That cheap sl*t must be hidden by Lu Yanchen in the cabinets!"

Mrs. Yang took in a deep breath of air. "That's enough!"

Yang Sitong's eyes were brimming with tears as her chest heaved up and down heavily, hissing out in fury, "Mummy, let's go search once more! We'll definitely be able to find that cheap sl*t! I must see for myself just what sort of lowly thing she is…!"

Mrs. Yang, who had been holding everything in, suddenly raised her hand and threw out a tight slap at Yang Sitong. "I don't have the mood to carry on with your self-ridiculing acts!"

Caught by surprise, Yang Sitong staggered with that tight slap as she yelped out, "AHHH!!!"

Steadying herself, she caressed her cheeks instinctively. It was only when she had really felt the stinging pain along with the burning sensation on her palm that the reality of her being slapped registered in her mind.

She was filled with complete disbelief as tears brimmed before flowing out of her eyes. "Mummy… you've hit me?"

"If I don't hit you, you're not going to remember this," Mrs. Yang's tone was chillingly cold, paired with an equally icy gaze to boot. "How many times have I reminded you usually? How did I teach you normally? I told you not to be brash, and that you must always remember your status before doing anything. But look at you! You were clearly behaving like a lunatic earlier on! You clearly had a good position in this game of chess, and yet you destroyed that singlehandedly! And, you even had the cheek to drag me here with you? If you hadn't kept the matter of you flinging yourself into his arms from me, things wouldn't have gotten to this point! And now, are you finally pleased that you've agreed to back out of the marriage?"

Filled with equal parts alarm and fear, Yang Sitong's eyes widened. Her mummy had always doted on and loved her! This was the first time she was flying in such a rage and had even struck at her!

However, that single slap did serve well to sober her up.

From the day she was engaged to Lu Yanchen in marriage, the Yangs had been grooming her meticulously. They wanted her to be a true classy socialite. In order to make her prettier, she went for adjustment on her nose bridges, double eyelids operations, and took Botox regularly.

To the outside world, she was always known as a sophisticated, classy Missy of the Yang Family. However, everything that had happened today had completely destroyed the manmade image built for her.

However, did it matter whether the manmade image was shattered?

So what if she had an impeccable reputation outside or how beautiful she was?

Lu Yanchen…

He…

Did…

Not…

Like…

Her!

Lowering her head, she stammered, "I-I'm sorry… I was wrong… mummy…"

Mrs. Yang straightened her hair. "What's the use of knowing that you were wrong now? Where did that impulsiveness from earlier on disappear?"

"Even if I agree to annul the marriage, so what? As long as you guys don't agree to it, that will do!" The marriage would not fall as long as the elders didn't agree to it—this was the card that Yang Sitong had wanted to play from the first place.

"You're only thinking about yourself as always. Do you even know what's the situation with our family right now? If that video from earlier on were to be leaked out, do you know how great the losses would be for us?" As Mrs. Yang said that, she poked her on the head harshly.

Finally feeling a little frightened, Yang Sitong uttered again, "But, I've saved his life in the past no matter what. He can't be that heartless!"

Mrs. Yang snorted out sarcastically, "You know clearer than anyone else what happened with your lifesaving act back then. That's why I keep telling you to stop harping about that incident. If he were to know about what happened back then, you would be nothing more than a clown forced to jump into the seas! The Lus will definitely not let you off, and the entire Yang Family will follow you down into the depths of Hell!"
