When Xie Li entered, wearing a serious expression, the head of the Wen family furrowed his brow.

"Why is Brother Xie here at this time?" 

The head of the Wen family, who was a year younger than Xie Li, addressed him in this manner. After exchanging pleasantries, they all took their seats. Xie Li didn't want to beat around the bush any longer and got straight to the point.

"Actually, today, I was supposed to bring my irresponsible son, Xie Siqi, with me, but since I'm the only one here, I apologize for the intrusion."

Before the head of the Wen family could finish saying, "There's no need to apologize," Xie Li continued, 

"Today, I intend to cancel the engagement between Xie Siqi and your esteemed daughter, Wen Xin."

This statement not only dumbfounded the head of the Wen family but also left Wen Xin unsettled. Clutching her dress tightly, she wrinkled her expensive haute couture gown. Yet Wen Xin didn't care about the creases; her eyes were fixed firmly on Xie Li.

The head of the Wen family's reaction was even more direct. Slapping the armrest of his chair, he leaned forward, eyes wide, and burst out laughing. 

"Brother Xie, are you here to joke with me today?"

Xie Li's response was straightforward. He stood up immediately, and seeing his boss rise, Gao, his assistant, naturally followed suit. Then Xie Li waved his hand, and Gao, understanding his signal, opened his briefcase and handed two documents to the head of the Wen family and Wen Xin.

"I'm serious about this. These are the compensations I'm willing to offer to the Wen family. The details of how to dissolve the engagement will not be publicly disclosed. It's entirely up to you both, and I won't allow any further gossip."

He even bowed. 

"This matter is solely the fault of my son, Xie Siqi. I just don't want to compound the mistake and cause more harm to Wen Xin."

Wen Xin's body trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but when she looked at her father, she found him engrossed in the documents. She opened her own document and skimmed through it, seeing Xie Li's sincerity. Suddenly, she remembered what had happened at the Sun family's banquet over a week ago, and her vision blurred involuntarily.

The head of the Wen family suppressed his anger and set the documents aside. Looking at Xie Li, who was still bowing, he sighed. 

"Brother Xie, there's no need for this."

He signaled to the butler, who immediately approached. While saying, "Please, there's no need," he helped Xie Li back into his seat.

"What's the matter?" 

The head of the Wen family noticed his tearful daughter and sighed again, turning to Xie Li for an explanation.

Xie Li also sighed, looking reluctant to speak. At this moment, Gao played a crucial role. 

"It's awkward for our boss to bring this up, so let me explain. It's just that Young Master Xie is being disobedient..."

In Gao's description, Xie Siqi had become a brave rebel, fighting against his family for true love and willing to endure any hardship for his beloved.

The head of the Wen family listened with a stony expression, his daughter in tears. Xie Li's face, dark with exhaustion (due to recent late nights), showed that he had put in a lot of effort for this matter.

Now that they had come with sincerity, the documents ensured that the Wen family suffered no loss, but it was the Xie family that had truly paid a heavy price.

Seeing his disobedient son like this, Xie Li, who had always been proud, was now bowing and apologizing on his behalf. They were of similar age, and the head of the Wen family couldn't help but feel sorry for Siqi. 

"Brother Xie, there's still hope. Perhaps he's just young and doesn't know better."

But upon hearing this, Xie Li saw no room for compromise. 

"Brother, let me be frank with you. I can't control him anymore. I'd rather find a son-in-law for Siyun to inherit the family fortune. I won't leave it to this unfilial son!"

The head of the Wen family's heart skipped a beat, and he refrained from saying, "Let's not dissolve the engagement for now." 

Instead, Xie Li's words gave him another thought: "Can't Xin'er also..."

But he quickly dismissed this idea, though it had taken root in his heart, waiting to sprout.

In essence, the Wen family were businessmen. With Xie Li's sincerity, this matter didn't cause them any losses. They just needed to find another good match for Wen Xin, which would take some effort.

In the end, they parted ways amicably, without any fallout. They would continue to cooperate in the future, and both sides achieved their goals, ending with smiles all around.

The head of the Wen family wanted to offer Xie Li a meal, but he declined and set a time to sign the contract at Xie Corporation before bidding farewell.

After Xie Li left, the head of the Wen family looked at his tearful daughter and could only comfort her, "Fortunately, the Wen family hasn't lost anything this time. Dad will find you someone better and more loving than Xie Siqi." 

Though Wen Xin admired Xie Siqi now, her infatuation was nowhere near as intense as in the later stages of a novel, and she understood the current situation.

Though her heart ached, she nodded.

The head of the Wen family didn't miss the opportunity to educate his daughter. 

"Learn from Uncle Xie. What he did is something not everyone can do."

Wen Xin looked puzzled and glanced at her father.

The head of the Wen family explained,"He was able to sacrifice a piece of himself directly. This act is something I can hardly do. He's exceptionally clever and understands the concept of letting go. Even though he's torn off a piece of himself, he hasn't harmed his bones and tendons. If Xie Siqi were to pursue other women while keeping you in the dark, even if I risked my life, I would demand justice for you, even if it meant both the Xie and Wen families suffered losses."
