The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 553 - 568: Didn’t you say you would swear? Why don’t you dare to respond?

The old lady looked at Han Xi dotingly, "Whatever you need, just say it, Grandma will definitely satisfy you."

"Yichen cannot marry Jian Ru. This Jian Ru is not as gentle and well-behaved as she appears; she only wants the Wen family’s wealth." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s expression turned serious, "Girl, come to Grandma’s room."

Han Xi nodded and followed the old lady directly upstairs. Jian Ru started to feel a bit panicked, unsure whether the old lady would believe what Han Xi said.

Li Manman went to the living room and sat next to Wen Yichen, raising her eyebrow at him: "You don’t have to go through with the wedding tomorrow; Xiao Xi will take care of it."

Wen Yichen looked at Li Manman half-convinced, "How is my sis going to manage that?"

"You’ll find out soon enough. Just wait and watch the show."

In about ten minutes, Han Xi and the old lady came downstairs, and the old lady sat on the sofa with a heavy expression: "I announce that Yichen’s wedding tomorrow is canceled."

Wen Anbang and Zhang Linmiao looked at the old lady in shock: "Mom, how can such an important event be canceled just like that? Relatives and friends have already been informed. What on earth happened?"

Lu Jinghan and Song Yan remained silent, quietly waiting to hear what the old lady would say next.

However, Jian Ru couldn’t hold her peace, looking aggrieved at the stern old lady: "Grandma, did I do something wrong? My family already knows about my wedding plans, and now it’s off, how am I supposed to explain this to them?"

"You should know your own intentions, right? I’ve been protecting you all this time, even choosing to believe you over my own grandson, but you’ve greatly disappointed me."

Infuriated, the old lady slammed the table, never expecting someone in her position to be completely fooled by a young girl in her twenties.

Wiping her tears in grievance, Jian Ru choked up: "Grandma, did my sister speak ill of me? I might have upset her just now at the hotel."

Lu Jinghan stood up from the sofa and strode over to Han Xi, holding her hand. The next second, his gaze turned sharp as he looked at Jian Ru: "You’d better think carefully before you speak. If you dare to falsely accuse my wife, I won’t let you off."

"Grandma, what I said is true, I’m not slandering my sister, she’s simply retaliating against me."

Han Xi wasn’t angry; she watched how this drama queen would continue her act. The more Jian Ru spoke now, the more the old lady would dislike her.

Li Manman knew it wasn’t her place to meddle in the Wen family’s affairs, but she couldn’t help standing up for justice: "Who was it that said once pregnant with Yichen’s child, all of the Wen family’s assets would be yours? You little girl sure know how to pretend, no wonder Yichen feels annoyed whenever he sees you."

"I didn’t say that, you are my sister’s friend, so of course, you’d side with her. Grandma, I swear I never said such outrageous things."

Wen Yichen looked at Jian Ru without expression: "Then why don’t you make a solemn vow to prove your innocence, like if you utter even half a lie, your whole family would perish."

Jian Ru wouldn’t dare make such a vow, as not a single word she said was true: "Grandma, I’ve been by your side for so long; you know me the best. I’m not the kind of person my sister claims."

"Wasn’t there a talk about making a vow? Why won’t you respond now? Feeling guilty, are you?"
