Chapter 12: Impulse
When the words came out of Tang Zizheng's mouth, they became cold and unfeeling words.
"I will not change my mind. My marriage engagement to Duan Yixin is over. She spent the night outside, and no one knew whether she was still innocent or not. The thought of marrying a dirty woman like her makes me feel disgusted."
Just when he finished saying this and closed his eyes in despair and frustration, the door of the ancestral hall suddenly opened with a bang. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Liang Jiaying standing there with tears in her eyes. Before Tang Zizheng could react, she was already running toward him while sobbing.
Liang Jiaying knelt beside him, held his hand, and said softly, "Elder Brother Zheng, please don't disobey your family because of me. It's all my fault that you broke off your marriage engagement with Miss Duan. I should just die together with my family so that I won't be a burden to you."
Listening to her monologue and looking at her fake tears, Tang Zizheng felt disgusted in his heart. He glanced at Liang Jiaying's hand that was holding his, and his stomach was churning. Tang Zizheng was clenching his teeth and had no intention of speaking, but the words still flowed out of his mouth softly, as if he was afraid of scaring the woman in front of him.
"Ying'er, this is not your fault. It was Duan Yixin's fault that caused me to break the marriage engagement. You shouldn't blame yourself. I feel sad when I see your tears. Please stop crying, all right?"
After saying that, he shut his mouth and said no more. His handsome face turned cold with frustration.
Unaware of what was happening to him, Liang Jiaying looked at Tang Zizheng affectionately and said shyly, "Elder Brother Zheng, you are so kind to me."
Seeing the blatant display of affection between the two of them, Tang Sanniu slapped the table and shouted furiously, "Someone, come! Drag that shameless woman out and lock Erlang in the darkroom! When he admits his mistake, that is when he will be released!"
