After being slapped in the face, Liu Baitao was stunned.

Although she is only the adopted daughter of the Situ family, and although she has always had a bad relationship with Situ Minglu, her adoptive parents love her very much. She entered the Situ family at the age of seven. From the age of seven to now, she has never been touched a single finger.

And just now, Situ Minglu actually slapped her in the face!

She covered her face and looked at Situ Minglu in disbelief and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"

"Why am I? I'm the one I hit!" Situ Minglu said without saying a word, then slapped her in the face, gritting her teeth and questioned: "Why did you elope with Sha Hongfei? You don't want to marry Song Zhengchu, just say it, why did you elope without hiding it from your family? Do you know how much losses your family has suffered because you elope with Sha Hongfei?"

"How do you know I haven't said it?" Liu Baitao covered her face and her eyes were red. "I said it, but my parents said that the marriage between Song Zhengchu and I had already been decided. I can't go back on my word. I won't run away from my marriage. Do you want me to marry a half-paralyzed person? Moreover, the person I love is Hongfei, not Song Zhengchu. You insist on marrying Song Zhengchu. Who have you considered my feelings?"

"You are really good at quibbling!" Situ Minglu sneered, "At the time when our family was considering marrying the Situ family, our parents asked you personally, asking if you like Song Zhengchu. You said in person that it was all up to parents. When you saw Song Zhengchu in a car accident and was paralyzed in bed, you went back on your word and elope with others, losing all the face of our Situ family!"

"Otherwise?" Liu Baihong asked her with her eyes: "I won't leave with Hongfei. Should I stay at home and wait to marry Song Zhengchu? If it were you, would you marry?"

"If I were you, I would marry!" Situ Minglu said firmly: "You are just our adopted daughter. Your mother passed away in an accident. My mother saw that you had adopted you pitifully. Our Situ family has raised you for more than ten years. You agreed to Song Zhengchu's marriage. If something happened to Song Zhengchu, you regretted the marriage, which led to the breakdown of the cooperation between the Situ family and the Song family. Our family suffered heavy losses. If I were you, I would never do such a treacherous thing!"

"You are just standing and talking without a pain in your back," Liu Baitao's eyes flashed with tears, "You are right. I am just the adopted daughter of the Situ family. Will I be happy in the second half of my life? Who cares? If I don't plan for myself, who will plan for me? You are the biological daughter of your parents. If you are engaged to Song Zhengchu, you don't have to speak, and your parents will naturally help you break the engagement!"

If there is another choice, she doesn't want to elope with Sha Hongfei.

But she had no other choice.

Song Zhengchu was seriously injured in a car accident and was paralyzed in bed. After learning the news, she almost collapsed.

She must not marry a man paralyzed in bed!

She was waiting for her parents to speak and help her get rid of her marriage with Song Zhengchu, but after waiting, no one in the Situ family mentioned breaking the engagement.

Her and Song Zhengchu's wedding date is getting closer. If she doesn't find a way, she will marry a paralyzed person. She has no choice but to speak up.

She told her parents that she would not marry Song Zhengchu, but her parents said that Song Zhengchu's paralysis was only temporary, and Song family hired famous doctors, so he would definitely be cured.

As soon as Song Zhengchu had an accident, she was anxious to break off the engagement and spread it, which would have a very bad impact on her and the Situ family.

She couldn't accept this explanation.

She knew that she was abandoned by her parents.

What they care about is the marriage between the Situ family and the Song family, and the interests of the Situ family. As for her happiness, no one cares about it.

They want to sacrifice the happiness of her second half of her life in exchange for the interests of the Situ family and the Song family.

No one planned for her, she could only plan for herself.

Sha Hongfei has liked her for a long time, but Song Zhengchu is better than Sha Hongfei, and the Song family is more powerful than Sha family, so she decided to marry Song Zhengchu.

But she also had a good impression of Sha Hongfei, so she did not explicitly reject Sha Hongfei's pursuit. She only said that marriage with the Situ family was decided by her parents. She was the adopted daughter of the Situ family. She had the responsibility to repay the Situ family's raising grace and could only obey her parents' arrangements.
