Chapter 1086
Xia Yanyan bit her lip. She knew that Lawson Perry was the most powerful in the Perry family, and even Harry Perry was like a mouse meeting a cat in front of him.
Harry Perry was afraid her temper would flare up and cause a scene: “With your current reputation, the Perrys can call off the engagement at any time. Even if I want to marry you, if my brother disagrees, you won’t be able to enter the Perry’s door.”
Xia Yanyan clenched her five fingers until they turned pale from the tension.
Harry Perry softened his tone, soothing her: “It’s just an apology, and I’ll make sure to compensate you properly later.”
Xia Yanyan said: “I want to investigate this person. If you help me investigate this person, I will apologize to Ye Xingguang.”
Xia Yanyan handed her phone to Harry Perry. He saw on her phone screen a Weibo page named “Regret Medicine Sold by the Master”.
Harry Perry was curious: “How did this person provoke you?”
Xia Yanyan didn’t tell the truth: “She’s just a scammer; many people have been deceived by her. You can see it from the comments on her Weibo. A friend of mine got scammed by her, and we want to find her to stop her from deceiving others. Help me find her.”noveldrama
Such a small matter, Harry Perry said: “Alright.”
“Tell me before the party ends.”
Harry Perry agreed readily, holding her in his arms: “Okay, I promise you. You’ll have to endure some grievances tonight. How’s your dad doing now? I was out of town on business a few days ago and couldn’t make it. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the hospital to visit your father.”
Xia Yanyan suppressed the anger in her heart but couldn’t show it outwardly. She could only comfort herself inwardly, thinking once she got the regret medicine, everything would reset, and tonight’s apology would no longer exist.
She treated this apology as nothing but a nightmare, and nightmares eventually come to an end.
Harry Perry took Xia Yanyan out to congratulate Mrs. Perry.
Mrs. Perry saw Xia Yanyan and didn’t look pleased. Ever since her son got engaged to Xia Yanyan, the Xia family had been repeatedly embroiled in negative news, making Mrs. Perry feel embarrassed because she thought bringing a national treasure into the family would enhance their status, but instead, it brought disgrace.
Xia Yanyan had no choice but to smile and please, saying: “Mom, I wish you good health.”
Harry Perry held Xia Yanyan and said: “Mom, Yanyan has prepared your birthday gift for many days. Recently, her father-in-law has been seriously ill and hospitalized, so Yanyan has been taking care of him at the hospital day and night, but she still managed to come for your birthday banquet in time…”
“Alright, don’t speak up for her. Do I need others to tell me the affairs of the Xia family? People say to marry a virtuous wife, but I don’t see how your fiancée is virtuous. If she can do something like planting chaos in her own family’s corporation, would I dare to drink the water at home if she joins our Perry family in the future?”
Xia Yanyan’s face turned pale instantly.
Harry Perry said helplessly: “Yanyan already knows she was wrong. She was just momentarily confused.”
Mrs. Perry didn’t agree: “If she knew she was wrong, why hasn’t she made any public statement these days?”
“Father-in-law is ill, so Yanyan couldn’t manage. She just told me that she wanted to use your birthday banquet to address this issue publicly, right, Yanyan?” Harry Perry signaled Xia Yanyan with his eyes.
Xia Yanyan held back her grievances and nodded: “Mom, I was really just momentarily confused. If it weren’t for my father’s sudden illness, I would have made a public statement long ago. Tonight… I just want to use your birthday banquet to apologize to the victims.”
Mrs. Perry didn’t say anything, waiting to see how she would handle this.
Xia Yanyan gritted her teeth and walked towards Ye Xingguang, who was chatting and laughing with others.
