Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Resolutely Breaking Off the Engagent
“Chuyi!” Xia Lan cried out in alarm, her face genuinely showing fear.
“What, did you want to help you keep it a secret? Xia Lan, have you thought about how you can stay with your Brother Qing if you don’t tell the folks back ho about this?”
After Xia Chuyi finished speaking, Xia Lan’s eyes imdiately showed hesitation.
She continued to fuel the fire, “Hmph, moreover, other people have seen it too. If you two aren’t together in the future, then today’s behavior will be considered promiscuity or, one-sided hooliganism.”
He Qing’s face changed imdiately.
“Let’s leave it at that, He Qing. Give back the stuff my uncle gave you and what I gave you, and we’ll call off this marriage.”
...
“As for you and Xia Lan, I will testify that you two were mutually in love, not engaging in hooliganism.”
Xia Chuyi’s words were almost a threat.
If you give back the stuff, you two can go and be miserable dogs together forever. If you don’t, watch out, I might just accuse you of promiscuity.
Wang Xiaofang glared at them angrily, clearly siding with Xia Chuyi.
“He Qing!” He Qing gritted his teeth, “You really think I care about your stuff?”
“Call off the marriage, we must call it off!” He Qing shouted, “Xia Chuyi, I don’t see who would want to marry a woman like you!”
Ignoring his infuriated tantrum, Xia Chuyi calmly watched the guilty couple holding hands tightly.
“Rember your words and follow through. Tomorrow, I’m going back ho with Xia Lan. Rember to deliver the stuff to the train station.”
Having said that, Xia Chuyi turned around and left without hesitation.
Wang Xiaofang gave them a final glare and also turned to leave at a quick pace.
When Xia Chuyi hadn’t even entered the guesthouse, she saw Wang Xiaofang running out from inside.
“Chuyi, are you all right? It’s really unlucky to run into such a sister and fiancé!”
Wang Xiaofang hooked her arm around hers.
“I’m telling you, don’t feel sad for such people, it’s not worth it!”
Wang Xiaofang was even more indignant than the principal involved.
“Sister Fang, don’t worry about , I’m fine. Like you said, it’s not worth it to be sad for such people.” Xia Chuyi smiled, patted Wang Xiaofang’s hand, and comforted her, proving she wasn’t upset.
“It’s good that you can see it that way! What are you planning next? Are you really going back ho tomorrow? It’s such a sha. I wanted you to stay and enjoy a few more days! Though we’ve only just t, strangely, I feel a special bond with you!”
Wang Xiaofang felt a kinship with her, probably because she was a chef. Foodies and chefs, isn’t that a perfect match?
Thinking this, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh first.
“Sister Fang, I ca here originally to discuss the marriage with He Qing. Now that there’s a resolution, I certainly need to go back. But don’t worry, we will definitely et again when there’s a chance.”
“Hopefully!” Wang Xiaofang still sounded a bit disappointed.
“We will.”
Provincial City was truly a place brimming with countless business opportunities. So, one day in the future, she would definitely return.
