“You’re really a drama queen…” Wei Liao sneered.
“Brother…”
“Ying, if you want a ring, our family can afford it… If you take it, you’ll lose your brother forever.”
Afraid his sister would accept Shen Mingxi’s proposal, Wei Liao issued this threat.
“I say, Old Wei…” Su Yu felt Wei Liao shouldn’t be so blunt and embarrass Shen Mingxi like this in front of everyone. After all, Shen Mingxi was a top figure in the city.
But Wei Liao looked determined.
“Young Master Su, stay out of it. It’s a family issue.”
Hearing his words, Su Yu couldn’t say more about it; resigned, he turned and sat back down.
“Second Brother, I was wrong. You can hit me or rail at me, but please give me another chance because I truly don’t want to live my life without Ying. In the past, we were young and immature, and I made many mistakes. As time goes on, we finally see each other’s true hearts.”
“Brother… Mingxi is truly sorry about his mistakes. I think…”
“Shut up.” Wei Liao was enraged when he saw Wei Ying had been swayed by Shen Mingxi.
“Have you forgotten all the pain you went through?”
“No. Brother, I just think… I made mistakes, too. My behavior at that time could drive any man crazy…”
Wei Ying had done some reflection on her past behavior.
Shen Mingxi was wrong to cheat on her with Huo Yanyan, but Wei Ying knew her behavior wasn’t impeccable, either.
If she had been reasonable, Shen Mingxi wouldn’t have fallen for Huo Yanyan’s tricks.
The most important thing right now was that they still cared for each other.
The Shen and Wei Family had been on good terms. Wei Ying had loved Shen Mingxi secretly since she was 15 years old. After so many years passed, she still loved him. It was quite rare.
“Don’t find excuses for the scumbag. You’re my sister, the little princess of our Wei Family… We have power and money, and you have an excellent educational background and good looks. You can have any man you want. Why can’t you forget him?”
“Big Brother, in fact, I…”
“Ying, let’s go.”
Before his sister could finish, Wei Liao took her hand to leave the room.
“Big Brother, I’m not finished talking yet. I…” Before she could continue, Wei Liao dragged her out of the room.
Shen Mingxi was still kneeling on the ground on one knee holding up the ring. It looked weird.
“Ahem… Brother Shen, you can stand up now…” Su Yu spoke.
As Wei Ying didn’t return, Shen Mingxi looked disappointed. He stood up slowly and put away the ring and then returned to his seat, looking lost.
“You were too impulsive. Why didn’t you talk to me about it?” Su Yu asked him in a low voice.
“I just wanted to give Ying a surprise and end the suspense between us.”
“Then you should have invited only Wei Ying. Why did you ask Old Wei to come here?” Su Yu thought Shen Mingxi would have succeeded if not for Wei Liao.
“I hoped Second Brother could forgive me,” Shen Mingxi said with his head lowered.
“F*ck… Don’t you know how much he hates you? Even if he could, he wouldn’t forgive you so soon… You popped this on him so suddenly; how could he forgive you? This was a bad plan. But don’t get discouraged. I see Wei Ying still loves you. If you want to get her back, you must take it slow.”
“Okay.”
Drinking some wine together in low spirits with Su Yu, Shen Mingxi returned to his house alone.
Sitting in the living room, he picked up the phone and dialed an international number.
“Get Tiantian to the phone,” he said to the housemaid on the phone.
