Hearing An Yexuans retort, Master An felt infuriated. He had thought that locking his son up would make him reflect on his actions, but it seemed as though he didnt feel remorseful at all.

Master An was gravely concerned. He asked, Do you think that your father has abandoned you?

An Yexuan replied indifferently, Isnt that so?

Master An was so livid that his chest huffed up and down in anger. Looking at his son, his head ached. Yexuan, dont you think that youve done something wrong?

If youre talking about what happened to Ding Wener, it has nothing to do with me. Ive been framed.

An Yexuan harbored a lot of hatred towards the An family and his father. He was focused solely on Chu Feier now and didnt care about anything else.

Hmph. Youve been framed? If thats the case, why cant you just settle the issue with that woman? She has led you by the nose! Other young masters dont get into as much trouble as you do. Youre the only one whos so stubborn!

Master An wanted to beat some sense into An Yexuan, but seeing the stubborn and remorseless look on his sons face, he knew that it wouldnt be of any use.

His son used to be his pride. Master Ans only regret was allowing him to study in Ning An City. If he had known at that time that he would become like this, he wouldve made him stay in the capital or sent him overseas.

Master An was sure that Chu Feier was the cause of An Yexuans reckless behavior.

I will not allow you to marry Chu Feier. I wont allow her to enter my An family.

An Yexuan glared at his father in disbelief. Father, you know I love her. You know it. Father, how can you oppose our relationship?

I have to oppose it. Look at you now. Youve become like this because of her. You should be glad that I hadnt killed her!

Hearing his fathers words and seeing the murderous look in his eyes, An Yexuan was startled. He could tell that his father was truly considering murder.

An Yexuan suddenly felt his body sapped of energy. He was completely powerless now. It was indeed difficult for him to protect Chu Feier from getting killed.

Looking at his son, Master An sighed as his heart ached. If youre just playing with her, go ahead. However, if you want to marry her, youll have to make me approve of her.

Father, Ive never made any requests. I truly love her. Ive been looking for so long, and now were officially together.

Master An choked on his words as anger continued to build up inside him. He even almost fainted in fury. Do you really know what love is? Dont treat your stubbornness as love. Dont you feel embarrassed talking about it in front of your father?

Father, no matter what you say, I wont change my mind. Youre just biased against her.

Look at yourself now. Youre completely different from before. If you can show me satisfactory behavior, Ill accept your relationship with her. If you cant, you may take her away and leave the An family. Well no longer regard you as family.

Okay!

In the midst of the chaos in the capital, Yun Bixue and Tian Xiaojuan were discussing the garden party. Based on their traditions, the members organizing the garden party would gather during the new year.

Yun Bixue was going to join this gathering to make some friends and rally some supporters. As for those who she couldnt get close to, shell just forsake them.

This was her chance at joining the social circle of the noble families in the capital. Through this garden party, she could garner more support and power for Xie Limo.

Now, the forces of the capital were divided into three main partiesthose who supported her like Tian Xiaojuan, those who were neutral, and those who were against her.
