Chapter 165 - 55: Severing Ties on the Lake (Part 2)
"Yue Jinghua" sighed softly as if lamenting her worthlessness.
It turned out that Fa Xiaoyi had interpreted Yue Jinghua’s deliberate absence that day, along with her strange behaviors when joining the Mercenary Group earlier, as attempts to draw his attention.
"Annoying? Why didn’t you say so ten years ago? Or do you think that ten years ago, Yue Jinghua had some usefulness to you?" "Yue Jinghua" softly spoke, yet these words fell into Fa Xiaoyi’s ears like a thunderclap, causing him to stand up abruptly, looking disdainfully at "Yue Jinghua".
He slowly said, "Why would I need to use you? Just look at yourself. Yue Jinghua, you are not only ugly and incompetent, but you have also tried to frame Sisi several times, and even went out without informing me. If it weren’t for the Empress Dowager’s support, any of these reasons would be enough to cancel this marriage."
"Yue Jinghua" set down her cup calmly, her eyes clear as water, mirroring Fa Xiaoyi’s handsome yet ugly face, "Oh, so in Prince Fa’s eyes, I am so despicable. If you think I am incompetent and ugly, disgusting to you, then what about ten years ago? Why did you despise me when we first met? If the marriage is to be dissolved, at least let me be utterly heartbroken."
Ten years ago, Yue Jinghua was young, but her beauty was enough to captivate, and her family was distinguished – conditions sufficient to make Fa Xiaoyi fall for her completely.
A surge of frustration choked Fa Xiaoyi, no longer contemplating, as if making a resolute decision, "You have everything I do not – loving parents, harmonious siblings, a promising future."
"So it turns out that something too beautiful can also provoke envy, that indeed is my fault," "Yue Jinghua" murmured.
Her murmur reached Fa Xiaoyi’s ears but carried a tone of sarcasm. He abruptly stood up, tossing the wine glass to the ground.
The aroma of wine spread, filling the entire cabin with its scent.
