Chapter 216 - 8.3
"Jiamian! Are you so angry you’ve lost your senses? How could you say something so extreme and call off the engagement?"
The moment Fu Xiaoyuan left, Father and Mother Jiang could no longer hold back. They rushed to the bedside, faces filled with worry and anger, eager for an explanation.
Jiang Jiamian sighed softly, "Dad, Mom, you can see that Fu Xiaoyuan doesn’t have me in his heart at all. Not only does he not like me, but he also hates me. Such an engagement, even if it can be maintained for a while, it is impossible to preserve it forever. Instead of doing this, it is better to fulfill his wish and cancel this engagement before the day of marriage, and then divorce really comes."
"This..." Jiang’s father sighed, "You know how much effort Dad put into securing this engagement, and Dad also knows you’ve liked Fu Xiaoyuan for so many years... If it’s called off now, it will be impossible to restore it."
With the Fu family’s background and status, once the engagement was broken, they wouldn’t look back, and other families were already lining up to compete for this marriage.
But the Jiang family hadn’t pursued this marriage purely for profit. Father and Mother Jiang knew how deeply Jiang Jiamian had liked Fu Xiaoyuan for years. It had seemed like the perfect arrangement, one that could support both the family business and their son. So why had things gone wrong with Fu Xiaoyuan?
"I’ve decided." Jiang Jiamian said seriously.
"Is it because of that Tang Tang?" Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Jiamian’s face with some worry, as if trying to see something on his face, "If you really like Fu Xiaoyuan, why not just treat him as a lover. That Tang Tang is from a small family and can’t take away your status."
Jiang Jiamian: "..."
The corner of Jiang Jiamian’s lips twitched. He stared at her speechlessly.
"Mom, do I look like someone who’s willing to compromise like that?"
