Chapter 3

In the video, Zhou Ting and Chu Yan were in bed together, both of them disheveled.

Zhou Ting was holding Chu Yan, who was dressed in revealing clothes. Both looked lazy, and it was obvious that they had just experienced something.

“Do we really have to wait until the 10th to cancel the engagement? Isn’t the 10th your and Chu Ning’s birthday banquet?”

“If we both cancel the engagement with her, she won’t be able to find a new marriage partner. She won’t be able to participate in the gene matching organized by the brain, and the brain won’t assign a partner,” Zhou Ting said.

“What, are you feeling sorry for her?” Chu Yan glared at Zhou Ting coquettishly.

Her seductive look contrasted sharply with the innocent image she had just put on.

“Stop talking nonsense. How could I feel sorry for that useless person? I’m just worried that she won’t let go. If anyone should feel sorry, it would be for you…” Zhou Ting said, his hands beginning to act inappropriately.

The guests started gossiping again.

“Wow… the young people these days really know how to play.”

“Zhou’s family just said there was nothing between him and Chu Yan. Is this what they meant by nothing?”

“Fake! Chu Ning, how dare you create a fake video to slander me and Chu Yan?” Zhou Ting said angrily, rushing towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning quickly tapped her holographic device, sending the video to the media and dodging to the side.

“I’ve already sent the video to the media. Whether it’s real or fake, it will be verified.”

Avoiding Zhou Ting, Chu Ning smiled brightly.

“Don’t worry, I have no interest in someone like you.”

“You wanted to cancel our engagement, right? Simple.”

Chu Ning opened a page on her device, clicked a few times, and with a soft tap, Zhou Ting’s engagement was canceled.

Zhou Ting heard the prompt sound from his device and opened it, finding that Chu Ning had indeed agreed to the cancellation of their engagement.

While his mood was complicated, Chu Ning had already turned her attention to Chen Chen and Bai Yu.

“What about you two? Are you still going to insist that you came to cancel the engagement with me and that it has nothing to do with Chu Yan?” Chu Ning asked playfully.

As she spoke, she raised her wrist with her holographic device, as if ready to continue broadcasting the video.

She had her “Heaven’s Mirror” with her, and she had plenty of videos, not minding letting everyone continue to gossip.

Chen Chen and Bai Yu both looked terrified. They raised their hands to stop her and didn’t dare respond.

They weren’t sure if Chu Ning actually had their videos, but they didn’t dare take the chance.

The example of Zhou Ting was right in front of them. If Chu Ning really released a video, they would be done for.

Seeing this scene, the guests immediately guessed the truth.

In this world, the standards for beastmen were far stricter than for females.

No matter the reason, these three beastmen had ruined their reputations by committing adultery with the younger sister of their fiancées while still engaged to their fiancées.

Chu Ning gave them a “You made the right choice” expression.

She tapped on her device a few times and agreed to the cancellation request from the other party.

“Alright! As you wish, I have no more connections with you.” After doing everything, Chu Ning looked at them with ease.

“Chu Ning!” Suddenly, a harsh voice rang out.

The guests made way.

Chu Ning looked down the path and saw the late-arriving head of the Chu family, her own mother, Chu Xin.

Upon seeing Chu Xin, Bai Yu’s body trembled.

Then, Chu Yan seemed to be triggered, and ran toward Chu Xin.

“Mom! Wuwu…”

“Mom, I don’t know what I did wrong to offend Sister, but she made a fake video slandering me and Dad!”

“Mom, you have to stand up for me and Dad!” Chu Yan cried, her tears falling like beans.

Chu Xin’s expression softened slightly as she glanced at Chu Yan, then walked toward Chu Ning.

“Apologize to your father and sister,” she said sternly to Chu Ning.

At these words, the guests began to discuss again.

Chu Xin was really defending Bai Yu and Chu Yan. Could the videos from earlier really have been faked by Chu Ning?

Chu Ning, who had been somewhat hopeful, now felt completely disheartened.

When she sent the video of Zhou Ting and Chu Yan to the media, she had also sent a copy to Chu Xin.

Additionally, she sent the video of Bai Yu secretly meeting with Chu Lan to Chu Xin.

She didn’t believe Chu Xin would be able to tell the fake videos from the real ones.

But Chu Xin still chose to favor Bai Yu and Chu Yan.

If that’s the case, then she no longer needed this mother.

“Heh, apologize?” Chu Ning sneered.

“Why should I?”

Chu Xin’s face instantly darkened.

“Sis, it’s one thing for you to slander Dad, but now you’re going against Mom. You—” At this moment, Chu Yan unexpectedly rushed forward again.

“Shut up!” Chu Ning suddenly glared at Chu Yan, interrupting her.

Chu Yan trembled, and for some reason, actually shut her mouth.

“Unfilial daughter!” Just then, Chu Xin suddenly lost her temper and slapped Chu Ning.

Chu Ning’s face darkened, and she firmly grabbed Chu Xin’s wrist.

Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, she forcefully threw Chu Xin aside, almost toppling her over.

“I take back calling you ‘Mom’ just now.”

“Chu Xin, you—don’t deserve to be my mother!” Chu Ning said coldly.

At these words, the whole hall erupted in an uproar.

After being supported by Bai Yu and Chu Yan, Chu Xin glared at Chu Ning, furious.

“How dare you! Chu Ning, you’ve gone too far!” Bai Yu pointed angrily at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning’s gaze was icy.

“So what if I’ve gone too far? Chu Xin doesn’t deserve to be my mother, and Bai Yu, you don’t deserve to be my father!”

“To be born but not cared for is a waste. From the moment I was born, neither of you have cared for me. Now you want to use your names to show off? You’re showing off in the wrong place.”

“I, Chu Ning, now officially announce that I am cutting ties with both of you!”

“From now on, you can be turtles or green turtles, or raise your mistresses’ illegitimate children as you please. It has nothing to do with me.”

With that, Chu Ning tapped on her device, opened a document, and sent it to Chu Xin and Bai Yu.

“Sign this document, and from now on, we will have no ties.”

Chu Xin’s face darkened as she glanced at Chu Ning before opening the document on her device.

Seeing the document’s contents, she stumbled, almost losing her balance.

Bai Yu also opened the document and immediately signed it.

“You brought this on yourself! After leaving the Chu family, let’s see how you continue to act!” As he signed, Bai Yu said angrily.

Chu Xin glared at Bai Yu.

Only then did Bai Yu realize something and quickly avoided Chu Xin’s gaze.

“Chu Ning, do you not regret this?” Chu Xin asked in a serious tone, looking at Chu Ning.

This was her only daughter, the one she had worked so hard to find, yet she was a waste.

She admitted that she had neglected her, but in terms of food, clothing, and shelter, what had she lacked?

Staying in the Chu family, at least she would have a worry-free life and could marry a few well-off beastmen.

But outside the Chu family, would she have to live a hard life?

“That’s something I should be asking you, Chu Xin,” Chu Ning replied coldly.

Chu Xin’s heart skipped a beat.

After a moment of staring at each other, Chu Xin gritted her teeth.

“Fine! I’ll wait for the day you come back and beg me!” she said, signing the document.

As soon as Chu Xin signed, Chu Ning quickly received the document.

“Don’t worry, that day will never come.” Chu Ning put away her device and said coldly.

With that, she turned and walked out.

Chu family, goodbye.
