“That wasn’t her intention,” Yan Yu said earnestly to Yan Xing. “She had no choice.”
Yan Xing was so angry at Yan Yu that he laughed. It seemed that his brother's sycophancy had deepened, as he could even come up with such a ridiculous excuse.
"Forced? Did someone hold a knife to her neck and force her to do that? Bro, do you even believe that yourself?"
"No, she might resist if someone held a knife to her throat."
Yan Xing was completely baffled by what Yan Yu said.
"What do you mean, bro?"
“It’s nothing,” Yan Yu shook his head. “I don’t know the specifics either, but you just need to know that Xiao Ling is different now than before. She’s back to the Xiao Ling you liked when you were little.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Xing completely gave up arguing with his brother.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling incredibly foolish. How could he still not see what kind of person his brother was after all these years, and even dare to try to reason with Yan Yu about ideals and make him accept reality?
"Then I'll decide for myself when I see her next time. Brother, it's too late and I'm tired. You should go and rest. I don't want to talk about this anymore."
"Hmm." Yan Yu didn't say anything more, got up and left Yan Xing's room.
He had long been used to the fact that others couldn't understand his feelings for An Ling.
In particular, Yan Xing only had a problem with An Ling because he felt that he was not worth it. It was indeed difficult for Yan Xing to believe these things based on Yan Yu's few words. On the contrary, it would make him feel that his brother was beyond redemption.
However, Yan Yu had a premonition that since An Ling had fully recovered, Yan Xing would eventually notice it, so there was no need for him to argue with Yan Xing today. He should just let things take their course for now.
……
As for the An family...
After Cheng Yaozu was taken away by the ambulance, they all went back to Anjia together.
Anling was puzzled to find that she had received several transfers with the note "compensation for emotional distress".
As for emotional distress, everyone who attended the engagement party tonight suffered, right? There's no need for her family to send her a special message, is there?
She only found out after asking that the An family already knew she had filmed the video. Her aunt said it was to thank An Ling for letting her see through Cheng Yaozu's true colors.
An Ling accepted it without any qualms.
Indeed, because she both filmed and watched the videos, she suffered far more emotional distress than others.
She didn't intend to hide it, after all, she had asked Cheng Wei for help when she released the video, so it was impossible to hide it even if she wanted to.
She originally planned to tell her family that she took the wrong turn when she went to the bathroom and accidentally found Cheng Yaozu and Cheng Ze in the garden. She thought it was strange and took a picture, which led her to discover this shocking secret.
She had come up with all sorts of excuses, but none of her family members came to ask her about it.
My family members are so carefree; not one of them is curious about how I ended up photographing Cheng Yaozu and Cheng Ze meeting in the garden.
But this is good; I don't need to lie to people anymore.
What could the An family members do but listen silently? They could only choose to turn a deaf ear.
However, they were still very unhappy about this incident.
This displeasure is mainly directed at Cheng Yaozu.
Even Cao Ling was traumatized by the series of events that night, and the sight of her son forcibly kissing her lover was a huge shock to her, causing her to have mental problems. Cheng Ze sent her to a mental hospital for compulsory treatment.
Although Cheng Yaozu suffered several fatal blows, he was quickly discharged from the hospital after treatment. Compared to his vicious scheme against his own daughter, this retribution was truly a case of God being blind.
An Ling shared the same thought, so even after that night, she would still check on Cheng Yaozu's situation from time to time.
Cheng Yaozu was quite a tough opponent; those kicks looked painful to watch, yet he was discharged from the hospital in just over a week.
Wow, Cheng Ze actually went to pick up Cheng Yaozu from the hospital?
The An family was also shocked. These two hadn't even parted ways yet?
Or perhaps they've both lost face together, and their shared misfortune has actually strengthened their bond?
Cheng Ze is unbelievable! He still hasn't given up on Cheng Yaozu!
Is he really that persistent? He won't give up until he's had a bite of the duck he's about to get his hands on!
An family: ...
I may not respect or understand him, but I wish him success.
[Sigh, he went on his own initiative, and Cheng Yaozu slapped him and yelled at him, sending him away.]
An family members: Disappointed.
They thought Cheng Ze had given up completely, but they didn't expect him to be so persistent and determined to get Cheng Yaozu.
From An Ling's occasional inquiries about Cheng Yaozu and Cheng Ze, the An family learned that Cheng Yaozu was being avoided by almost everyone because of the information released by the An family.
No one was willing to cooperate with his company anymore, and the video that An Ling filmed that night was also spread, and everyone who saw the video despised his character.
Most of the fans on his original account turned against him and started hurling insults at him, which made Cheng Yaozu very depressed during this period.
It was under these circumstances that Cheng Ze took every opportunity to comfort him, drink with him to relieve his boredom, constantly enlighten him, and show concern for his well-being. He became the only person who would still look Cheng Yaozu in the eye. This timely emotional support made Cheng Yaozu gradually less wary of Cheng Ze.
But he still couldn't accept Cheng Ze's advances just because of that, which made Cheng Ze a little impatient.
Cheng Ze seems impatient; he's determined to get Cheng Yaozu. He believes he's already invested a lot of time and energy in Cheng Yaozu, and now he's determined to succeed at all costs.
However, he did not intend to wait any longer, because Cheng Ze realized that the reason he thought Cheng Yaozu might agree to his request was because Cheng Yaozu needed something from Cheng Ze, so his attitude was somewhat ambiguous, which gave him a false impression.
Now that the An family knows about Cheng Yaozu's previous schemes, Cheng Ze is no longer of any use to Cheng Yaozu. Cheng Yaozu's stance is also very clear: he will not be with Cheng Ze.
So, Cheng Ze is going to use force!!
An family member: Huh??
Using force? Is that what they mean? Cheng Ze is willing to break the law to get Cheng Yaozu?
Holy crap! Cheng Ze is the craziest one ever!
He knew that using force directly would be risky. Although Cheng Yaozu would most likely not dare to make a fuss because of his reputation, if Cheng Yaozu went all out and called the police, Cheng Ze would be finished.
Therefore, he needed to give Cheng Yaozu something to hold against him, so that Cheng Yaozu wouldn't dare to call the police.
Cheng Ze had actually been using illegal drugs with his cronies all along!! He decided to drag Cheng Yaozu down with him!!
