At The Beginning Of The Novel, The Heroine Begged The Retired Villain - Ch 5

After half an hour.

As Tang Ruoyu hung up the video call, her eyes became lifeless, completely different from earlier.

Just now, her mother had explained the situation, and she now understood how huge a mistake she had made.

Before today, she had never put Ye Tian in her eyes.

She had always viewed Ye Tian as an annoying suitor, or, more bluntly, as her obedient licking dog.

Every day Ye Tian had been persuading her to go on a date and would find ways to send various gifts to please her. Her friends and family members were also impressed by Ye Tian.

But the more this happened, the more rebellious she became, and the more she hated Ye Tian.

Even though Ye Tian was absolutely handsome and had a powerful background, so what? She was still a fairy! Why does she have to marry him?

In the first place, she never acknowledged the engagement. Even if the moment comes later, she won’t marry Ye Tian!

Although the Ye family was very powerful in Yun City, she considered the Tang family equally powerful.

But today, or just now, she realized how wrong she was.

In the beginning, she thought it was all a set-up by Ye Tian to get her to change her mind and agree to marry him.

But after talking to her mother, she realised that she had misunderstood Ye Tian.

From beginning to end, she asked Ye Tian to break off their engagement, sign the agreement and take a video statement.

If the status of the Tang and the Ye families were equal, this issue shouldn’t be too serious. At most, she would be scolded by her family.

In reality, however, the Tang family’s status and background were far weaker than the Ye family.

As a result of her relationship with Ye Tian over the past year, the Tang family gained several business contracts from the Ye family.

As long as she and Ye Tian managed to marry smoothly, or if she didn’t break off the engagement, the Tang family’s assets could double in half a year and become one of Yun City’s most prominent families!

Yet, since she insisted Ye Tian sign the termination agreement and send the video statement himself, it was a direct blow to the Ye family. This caused the Ye family to become a laughing stock.

As soon as the Ye family became aware of this, they terminated all contracts and began suppressing the Tang family’s industries.

Within just three days, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Tang Family to end up bankrupt with ten billion dollars in debt if this continues.

Her parents would also be sentenced to jail for at least ten years because of the debt.

Moreover, this was just the tip of the Ye family’s power, which was just the beginning.

According to her mother’s words, if the Ye family didn’t stop, they might not even be able to save their lives!

…

Tang Ruoyu gradually recovered from her breakdown, or rather, she had awoken to reality.

At this point, she couldn’t just sit back and watch her parents sentenced to jail or even lose their lives!

Furthermore, she was responsible for this incident…

“Hello, I’m looking for Ye Tian for something. Can you help me talk to him?” Tang Ruoyu asked weakly.

This time, there was no trace of the usual indifferent tone in her words.

Previously, she would ignore Liu Yue and immediately rush in.

But, due to her ignorance, she rashly dissolved the engagement, causing Ye Tian and the Ye family to become a laughing stock and ultimately, bringing disaster upon her family.

Tang Ruoyu only hoped that Ye Tian could be as considerate of her as he was in the past and help her.

As for engagement…

Tang Ruoyu naturally didn’t want it to continue, but in this situation, she could only choose to compromise.
