Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 536: Chapter 529: Breaking Off the Engagement

The Old Man took a sip of cool tea to calm the fury inside him; he, Tian Liu Jin, had really taken a fall this time, nearly causing his granddaughter to pay with her entire future.

Hmph! How dare the Song Family!

"We definitely have to call off the engagement, but we need to discuss how to do it properly. We can’t let the Song Family dirty Lili’s reputation," the Old Man said slowly.

"Would they dare? We have these photos in our hands. If the Song Family doesn’t fear losing face, then let them try," Granny Zhao was not afraid at all.

Sisi frowned, feeling unease in her heart. It wasn’t that the Song Family wouldn’t agree to call off the engagement—they held the power now, and given their obsession with face, they would surely not oppose ending it. What worried her now was Tian Lili.

Tian Lili, this foolish girl, was deeply in love with Song Xiaowei. Sisi feared that Lili might not wish to call off the engagement, angering both the Old Man and Granny Zhao!

"Shouhua, Ah Nan, go bring that wretched girl Lili back to me; this worthless thing has let all this chaos happen right under her nose without seeing a thing, a complete idiot!"

Granny Zhao shared Sisi’s thoughts. Even if Song Xiaowei and Tong Bing were both men, they made it so obvious in their conduct. Wouldn’t anyone with the slightest perception notice? Yet, Tian Lili failed to see it time after time?

Sisi quickly went with Tian Shouhua to fetch her. It was already noon; Tian Lili had mentioned they would be having a picnic on the mountain, so probably the trio hadn’t come down yet.

Tian Shouhua’s mood wasn’t great either, his face dark the entire way. Understandably, the Song Family’s actions were an outright slap in the face to the Tian Family.

As if everyone in the Tian Family was as foolish as Tian Lili!

Indeed, Tian Lili and the other two were still on the mountain, resting at the pavilion on the peak. Song Xiaowei and Tong Bing sat closely together, chatting and laughing, while Tian Lili, like a servant girl, bustled around the stone table arranging the food and drinks without pause.

Sisi watched, fury flashing in her eyes—this girl, who wouldn’t even bother tipping a soy sauce jar at home, now acted as a maid to these two scoundrels? If this isn’t being despicable, what is?

Tian Shouhua was even more enraged. He strode over, pulled Tian Lili up, and bellowed, "Tian Lili, you’ve really thrown away all of the Tian Family’s dignity!"

Tian Lili wanted to retort, but upon seeing Tian Shouhua’s darkened face, she got frightened and didn’t dare make another peep, instead turning to glare fiercely at Sisi.

Sisi, extremely angry yet amused, thought this useless thing only knew how to throw her weight around at home, acting as tame as a chick in the outside world.

This time Sisi didn’t want to let her off easy, releasing a menacing aura and coldly staring at her until Tian Lili quivered with fear and immediately behaved.

Song Xiaowei was initially surprised to see Tian Shouhua and Sisi, but then tried to greet them with a smile that looked utterly fake no matter how one looked at it.

Tian Shouhua didn’t bother to exchange pleasantries, snorting coldly and swinging a punch at Song Xiaowei. Tong Bing, startled, screamed, the echoes reverberating in the mountains.

Annoyed to death by the screaming, Sisi went over and slapped Tong Bing across the face, which made him scream even louder. Sisi felt only disgust for this effeminate man.

Truth be told, Sisi didn’t discriminate against gays—love should be blessed regardless of who it’s between. However, the prerequisite is not to harm others, yet these two crafted such a despicable plan to satisfy their illicit love, using Tian Lili as their shield and cover.

What disgusted her most was this Tong Bing, on one hand introducing a girlfriend to his lover, and on the other forbidding physical intimacy with his future wife; truly a hog taking up space in the latrine and forbidding others to defecate!

The more Sisi thought, the angrier she became, and she didn’t hold back her blows. Tired of using her hands, she began to kick. Despite being a man, Tong Bing had always portrayed himself as delicate. When it came to fighting abilities, he couldn’t hold a candle to Sisi!

Before long, Sisi had beaten Ah Nan to the ground, and she couldn’t even cry for help, leaving Song Xiaowei heartbroken. He wanted to save his love but was already half-beaten to death by Tian Shouhua. How could he lift a finger to help?

Tian Lili’s heart ached as she watched her husband being beaten, incessantly pleading with Tian Shouhua to stop. Heated by her pleas, Tian Shouhua swung a slap across her face, instantly swelling her cheek enormously, which caused her to burst into unstoppable tears.

"Ah Nan, let’s go!"

Seeing that the beating was enough, Tian Shouhua called out to Sisi and dragged the still crying Tian Lili down the mountain.

As Sisi passed by Song Xiaowei and Tong Bing, she coldly spat out ’adulterer and whore.’ The pair shuddered, knowing that their affair had been uncovered!

Once back home, Tian Lili immediately tattled to Granny Zhao, saying that not only did Tian Shouhua and Sisi beat Song Xiaowei, but she was also hit.

Granny Zhao looked at her granddaughter’s foolishness and could not contain her anger, slapping her face and bitterly saying, "You fool, had I known how stupid you were, I’d have drowned you in the toilet the moment you were born."

Sisi dragged Tian Lili to the living room and threw the photos at her. Tian Lili couldn’t bear to look at more than a few before clamping her lips with her teeth, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

"These two disgustingly did such filthy things right under your nose. Are you not only stupid in the head but also blind?" Granny Zhao lamented.

At this moment, Tian Lili’s mind went blank. She didn’t know what to say and just stood there dumbly, looking pitiable. But since everyone was furious, no one felt sympathy for her.

"Call off the engagement. I will call the Song Family right now and put an end to this wedding," Granny Zhao declared decisively.

"No, don’t call off the engagement, Granny!"

Just as Sisi had expected, Tian Lili, the foolish girl, truly did not want to call off the engagement. Hearing Granny Zhao’s words, she immediately revived and started yelling loudly.

The Old Man, who had been silent up to this point, trembled with anger. He stood up, walked over to Tian Lili, and said coldly, "Repeat what you just said."

Tian Lili was shivering with fear but still mustered the courage to say, "I don’t want to break off the engagement with Xiao Wei."

"Slap"

The Old Man landed a slap on her, truly enraged, using his full strength. Tian Lili spun several circles on the spot before falling to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, completely stunned!

"Shouhua, take her to her room and lock her up. If she cannot see reason, then she can stay locked up for life."

The Old Man was harsh and uncompromising, with no regard for human rights, but for someone as confused as Tian Lili, talking sense did nothing, and it was more straightforward to just lock her up.

Granny Zhao was not idle either. As soon as Tian Lili was dragged into the room by Tian Shouhua and locked up, Granny Zhao immediately called the Song Family, not wanting to delay even a minute. As long as they were tied to the Song Family, she would feel nauseated!

Today was the weekend, and the Song’s parents were both at home. Granny Zhao didn’t give any details on the phone, just asking the Song’s parents to meet at the usual place that evening for an important matter.

Tian Lili, locked up in the room, felt as cold as ice. She had sensed something fishy between Song Xiaowei and Tong Bing but couldn’t bear to part with Song Xiaowei. He had a good family background, good looks, and a good job; everything about him was good—except his affair with Tong Bing. But wouldn’t marrying him solve the problem?

Mama had said that a married man develops a sense of responsibility and changes in many ways. Xiao Wei would surely change, and she was determined not to lose to Tian Sisi. If she broke off the engagement with Song Xiaowei, where would she ever find a man that surpassed him?

It can only be said that Tian Lili’s mind was off-kilter. She wouldn’t turn back until she hit a dead end. Her self-destructive behavior was one thing, but she was also dragging her family down with her, making people want to slap her face in frustration!
