120: Chapter 120 Taking advantage of the situation, she angrily broke off the engagement on the spot!

The Shen Family was currently filled with guilt.

Tang Luochuan could guess this much.

Therefore, if he were to lose his temper while they were feeling guilty... the other party would surely understand and tolerate it, without thinking he was being unreasonable.

It just depended on whether the opportunity arose.

Sure enough, the opportunity came.

Li Xiaowei, that loudmouth, had followed his sister out. Li Wenjing didn't say much and just watched coldly from the sidelines.

But the kid said with complete indifference: "So what if you have money? What are you acting all high and mighty for?"

"What the F*** did you say?" When these words reached Tang Luochuan's ears, he realized that, given the Shen Family's guilty state of mind, this was the perfect moment to explode.

His voice was loud and carried immense explosive power.

It shocked everyone present.

Tang Luochuan did not hesitate. He strode over, walked directly up to Li Xiaowei, and loomed over him with an intimidating aura, with only a dozen centimeters between them: "F*** you, you little prick, say one more word and see what happens!"

Li Xiaowei cowered. He was terrified, his body stiffening as he dared not move. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

Tang Luochuan, however, would not let it go: "Say it again! If you've got the guts, say it again. Shen Muqing might spoil you, the Shen Family might spoil you, and your parents might spoil you, but I certainly won't! Let me tell you! I could spend 20 million right now to find a few people to finish you off, you believe that?"

He then looked at Li Wenjing and roared: "Keep your brother in check, what a piece of trash. Sooner or later, I'll find an opportunity to deal with him."

After saying this, he turned and got into his car without looking back.

At this moment, winning the psychological battle was enough; whether he actually dealt with him didn't matter. He had definitely left a lifelong shadow in the other party's mind.

The car started and quickly left the residential complex.

Watching Tang Luochuan leave, Shen Qiang panted heavily. He wasn't angry at him; instead, he felt ashamed of himself.

His son's brother-in-law had directly asked for money and was clearly trying to scam him.

Scamming his own son and his own family was one thing, but to scam his future son-in-law?

How embarrassing!

Liu Aiyuan felt even worse. She looked at her son, then at the departing car: "Shen Muyan, give Luochuan a call and ask him to come back first."

Shen Muyan was looking at her phone; it was a message from Tang Luochuan.

"See you in Shanghai, I won't abandon you! Leave the mess for your parents and brother to clean up."

Seeing this message, Shen Muyan felt much more relaxed. At this moment, she didn't care about these things anymore.

She wasn't going to be living with Li Wenjing anyway, just living a good life with Tang Luochuan was enough.

"No need, Luochuan didn't say he didn't want me! It's just that from now on, I won't be coming home for the holidays. Mom and Dad, if you have time, come to Shanghai and stay at my place. Spend the New Year with me!" Shen Muyan's attitude softened.

Only then did she realize the benefits of Tang Luochuan making such a scene: at the very least, they had completely broken ties with her sister-in-law.

If they had really established a relative relationship, could they even handle it?

She mentioned her parents but didn't mention her brother, which made Shen Muqing feel very uncomfortable.

Li Wenjing revealed her mean-spirited face at this moment: "Shen Muyan, you should really discipline your boyfriend."

Shen Muyan seemed to have learned from Tang Luochuan's methods and said: "From now on, we won't be having any contact! Is that any of your business?"

Li Wenjing: "I am your sister-in-law."

Shen Muyan glanced at her brother, then sneered at Li Wenjing: "You're acting like my stepmother, meddling too much. You have such a wealthy brother-in-law and don't know how to butter him up! Instead, you offend him, impressive!"

Since the gloves were off, Tang Luochuan's original intention was for the Shen Family to resolve this internally, and he, as an outsider, wouldn't get involved.

So Shen Muyan didn't hold back either: "If I had such a wealthy brother-in-law, I'd be buttering him up every day. I'd even have him help me pick a wife, and whatever he said would go. Hmph!"

This hit the nail on the head.

Li Wenjing's expression changed, and she wanted to say something more.

Liu Aiyuan, that 'old fox,' suddenly said: "Shen Muyan, don't talk nonsense. How much money could Tang Luochuan possibly have..."

It was hard to tell if this was a question or out of disdain.

"My Luochuan bought a house in Shanghai for 58 million in full! And... a porsche, a BMW, a Lamborghini, a rolls-royce cullinan, the only thing he's missing is a Rolls-Royce. Hmph!"

"The rolls-royce cullinan is a Rolls-Royce..." Shen Muqing sighed, but as if awakened by his sister, he looked at his mother with a hint of anticipation.

This guy was just blindly filial, looking to his mother for everything.

And his mother was someone easily manipulated by a 'prospective daughter-in-law.' However, now that they had a wealthy son-in-law, it was hard to say who would be doing the manipulating.

Li Wenjing's expression grew increasingly ugly. She had taken the dowry, but they hadn't registered the marriage yet.

To be honest, the Shen Family's situation was actually quite good.

Li Xiaowei, that idiot, got riled up: "What do you mean? You don't want my sister anymore? Let's go! We don't care to stay in your house anyway."

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out, bye!" Shen Muyan had already made up her mind.

What she needed to do next was draw a clear line; this was no longer a matter of saving face.

Even her own brother wouldn't do; this was a lifelong matter, and she had no obligation to sacrifice her own happiness to satisfy others.

Li Xiaowei grabbed Li Wenjing and started to walk out, throwing threats as they went: "Fine, don't get married then! Is our family afraid of not being able to find a match?"

Li Wenjing was both angry and panicked. She didn't actually not care about the Shen Family; she had just bet on Shen Muqing's cowardice and the Shen Family's desire to save face, which was why she dared to manipulate them the whole time.

But now that Tang Luochuan had appeared, he had smashed her plans to pieces—he was rich, powerful, and protective, and he simply didn't fall for her moral blackmail.

According to the original logic, Liu Aiyuan and Shen Qiang should have stopped them by now.

But now, there was only hypocritical 'anxiety' on their faces, yet they didn't speak up to stop them.

'Get the dowry back,' this thought sprouted in both their minds.

Li Wenjing wanted to provoke them one last time. Her face turned pale and then flushed; finally, she glared fiercely at Shen Muqing: "Fine, Shen Muqing, you better think carefully. If you let me leave today, it won't be so easy to beg me to come back later!"

Shen Muqing lowered his head and remained silent for a full ten seconds.

In these ten seconds, he thought of his parents losing sleep over the dowry, thought of the grievances his sister had suffered, and thought of his own life over the past half-year, being squeezed until he couldn't breathe.

"I've thought it through. Luochuan sent me a message saying he's taking his parents, as well as our mom and dad, to Sanya for a vacation at the end of the year! It has nothing to do with Mr. Shen and Miss Li..."

The more Shen Muyan spoke, the more smug she became; this feeling of having someone to rely on was truly amazing.

Shen Muqing suddenly raised his head, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely shattered.

He looked at Li Wenjing, his voice calm yet resolute:

"No need to come back."

Li Wenjing froze in place, unable to believe her ears: "You, what did you say?"

"I said, the wedding is off."

Shen Muqing took a step forward, straightening his back in front of her for the first time. "My family gave you every single cent of the dowry. The banquet, the three pieces of gold, the house, the car—my family met all your demands. My parents' half-lifetime of savings have been almost emptied, and I myself have been squeezed to the point of suffocation by you and your brother."

He looked at Li Xiaowei, his eyes chillingly cold: "Tang Luochuan was right today. I used to be spineless and obsessed with saving face, but I'm not stupid. Your family didn't come here to get married; you came to suck our blood."

Liu Aiyuan and Shen Qiang exchanged glances, and both saw a sense of relief in the other's eyes.

Some things often cause the greatest psychological restraint when one hesitates about whether to speak the truth or not.

Once it is said, it becomes much easier.

Shen Muyan stepped back with a hint of secret glee, as if to say, 'This has nothing to do with me.'

"Muqing! You better think this through."

"I've thought it very clearly. I don't have much ability! Your demands are too high, and you're not even as good as I am. Your brother is even more of a loser; he can't do anything! Letting him drive a go-kart would be giving him too much credit."

"Shen Muqing, how have I offended you?" Li Xiaowei's temper flared up too.

"You asked me for my car!! You're dirt poor, and I didn't want to lend it to you. When I was dating your sister, it was fifty today, a hundred tomorrow! Later, you were asking for three or four hundred—did you ever pay it back? Do I owe you anything? That's it! The engagement is off, return the 200,000 dowry to me. I won't ask for the banquet money back!!"

Shen Muqing finally let out a long sigh of relief, especially since his parents didn't interrupt, allowing him to say whatever he wanted.
