"I had no other choice," Tang Rou said with a bitter smile.
"You promised me you wouldn't get involved in this."
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble with the Wu family," Ye Fei reassured her, pulling her back into his arms. By now, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Someone had been deceived—either he had been tricked by the Wu family, or Tang Rou's parents had lied to her.
However, Ye Fei found it unlikely that he had been deceived. From his brief interactions with Wu Guanghua, he could tell that while the man wasn't a saint, he was honest and upright.
Moreover, the Wu family's reputation wouldn't allow them to pull such a stunt.
That left only one possibility: Tang Rou's parents had deceived her.
In truth, someone as clever as Ye Fei should have figured this out sooner. But he hadn't even considered it because, growing up, all his relatives—his mother, aunts, uncles, and even the late Song family patriarch—had shown him nothing but selfless love.
