Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Breaking Off the Engagement
Just thinking about the words Jiang Shihan said in the courtyard makes me feel very upset.
She said his woman had no sense of shame and told her to leave the villa. If he hadn’t shown up in time, that silly woman would probably have been bullied by her.
Since when did someone from Beichen Rui have to be criticized by an outsider? Is it because of the engagement that they’re trying to act superior?
He curled his lips into a mocking smile, "Uncle Jiang, you know my temper. You should ask your good daughter what things she said that she shouldn’t have."
His gaze swept coolly over their family, and he spoke slowly, "If Uncle Jiang can’t manage his daughter well, I don’t mind helping you out."
Narrowing his eyes, his cold gaze fell on Jiang Shihan. If not for wanting to completely bring down the Jiang Family, he would have torn this vicious woman into pieces by now.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhengguo’s face changed. After all, it’s difficult for anyone to accept their own daughter being talked about like this and still remain indifferent.
"Arui, aren’t your words a bit too much? After all, Shihan is a girl, and this would really hurt her feelings."
Beichen Rui laughed coldly in his heart and glanced at her coldly, "Uncle Jiang, you know she’s a girl? Are the others not girls?"
Showing no courtesy at all, he darkened his expression and said, "Since everyone is here today, I’ll be clear about this—let’s forget about this engagement!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shihan’s entire family suddenly looked extremely grim, especially Jiang Shihan, who stared at him in disbelief, eyes welling with tears, looking pitiful enough to earn sympathy.
But Beichen Rui didn’t even spare her a glance.
Feeling a tightness in her heart, her eyes rimmed red, "Rui, I know I was wrong. Please don’t say that, okay? I won’t make you angry anymore. This was my fault. I’ll apologize to her, okay?"
Beichen Rui frowned... it would be a pity if she didn’t become an actress. But no matter what, he wouldn’t change his mind.
So, he said, "It’s not necessary."
That little woman probably doesn’t want to see her now. "This engagement was arranged by my parents. Now that they’re not here, and there’s no affection between us, it’s better not to have any ties."
"I will give the Jiang Family a compensation, and let’s not mention the engagement again."
Since things had been said so bluntly, there was no point in staying any longer. He got up to leave.
After today, the relationship between these two families would probably be strained, but that didn’t matter. It would save trouble when it needs to be dealt with in the future.
Seeing him about to leave, Jiang Shihan, emotionally agitated, rushed forward and grabbed his left arm.
Beichen Rui frowned uncomfortably, "Let go!"
Startled, she hurriedly let go of him. Her shoulder was now burning, probably because the wound was slightly split. She turned her head towards Beichen Jue and said, "Grandpa, I’m heading back first."
Seeing his unpleasant expression, the old man spoke with some concern, "Is everything okay? Do you need me to call a doctor over?"
Honestly, watching her grab his left hand just now, he was also a bit frightened, worried that the wound might tear open.
"It’s nothing, I’m leaving now." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Jiang Shihan was about to chase after him when the old man called out to her, "Shihan, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
Turning back, she looked at the elder sitting in his seat, "Grandpa Beichen, is there something you want to say to me?"
