Everybody was caught off guard when they heard Chu Ninger’s reply.
He Yufei was staring at her and shifted his expression. Disbelief and disappointment crossed his face.
“Ah? Just a friend? Won’t you two get married then? Won’t you marry Young Master He, Sis?” Deep down, Chu Wuyou was delighted although she displayed a look of shock. She was not surprised at all.
She expected this response from Chu Ninger. Of course, she would not let her younger sister off the hook that easily.
Chu Ninger cursed silently, yet she maintained her posure and regarded Chu Wuyou with a joyful gaze and an innocent smile. “Sis, don’t joke about me and Young Master He.”
In that instance, she changed the way she referred to He Yufei.
Her message was crystal clear.
He Yufei looked downcast and a sneering smile gradually appeared on his face.
He broke off his engagement with Chu Wuyou for Chu Ninger’s sake five years ago. Today, she said they were just friends and it was all a joke. It was really ironic.
He never declined any of her requests for many years. He always understood that she was delaying matters but he still believed every one of her excuses.
He never expected that it was merely a joke in the end.
“I’ve always thought that you and Young Master He would make a great couple, but it turns out to be a joke after all. Sigh, what a shame.” Chu Wuyou sighed. There was a hint of a chuckle in her tone of regret.
When she saw the slight grin on her elder sister’s face, Chu Ninger began to shudder and a threatening feeling crept within her.
She pursed her lips tightly and dared not utter another word. She had already given up on He Yufei with her prior response. She knew how proud He Yufei was which meant that her relationship with him had most likely gone down the drain.
She did not want to hang around any longer. She desperately wanted to leave and was afraid that Chu Wuyou would say something else.
He Yufei’s sarcastic smile grew wider. Chu Ninger simply gave up five years of feelings without any remorse!
“Do you like Young Master Wu then, Sis? Two days ago, you went out with him. You must like him,” responded Chu Wuyou again before Chu Ninger could walk away.
She raised her voice by a notch this time. The hall was particularly silent right now, so everybody heard Chu Wuyou’s words clearly.
He Yufei’s expression sank and he darted his gaze towards Chu Ninger. It was cold, penetrating and above all, filled with shattered hope.
The crowd was stunned and looked at Wu Qingyuan, who was seated nearby. Not many people with the last name “Wu” were present after all.
Wu Qingyuan stared at Chu Ninger in anticipation of a reply after his name was mentioned.
Chu Ninger froze. She obviously could not e clean before the crowd, and so she muttered, “Sis, don’t joke around.”
“Ah? Am I wrong again? Are both of you just friends too?” Chu Wuyou exclaimed in confusion. She was loud and her remark was suggestive.
Chu Ninger clenched her teeth without saying a word. She knew that whatever she said under such circumstances would be wrong.
However, her silence also meant that she admitted to Chu Wuyou’s accusations.
Young Master Wu twitched his brows and glanced at Chu Ninger wearily without saying anything. However, disdain and disgust spread across his face.
Chu Ninger was fuming with rage right now. Knowing that Wu Qingyuan was not her most favorable choice either, she felt that it was fine to break off the relationship.
What Chu Wuyou said next altered her expression at once.
