Chapter 642: Breaking the Engagement
Hearing Zhang Sanfeng’s words, Ren Yingying’s heart instantly leaped to her throat. Whether the engagement could be annulled or not hinged on this very moment.
Xia Qingqing cast a subtle glance at Song Qingshu. Seeing no indication from him, she steeled herself and responded, “I wonder what matter involves Miss Ren?”
Zhang Sanfeng spoke slowly, “I heard that not long ago, you and Miss Ren agreed to an engagement?”
“That’s correct,” Xia Qingqing nodded, unable to suppress a resentful glance at Song Qingshu. Meanwhile, Song Qingshu kept his gaze fixed forward, pretending not to notice her expression.
“Initially, I should be offering my congratulations, but on my way here, I heard there might be some hidden circumstances behind this marriage…” Zhang Sanfeng hesitated, glancing around at the others. Given Song Qingshu’s current status, Zhang Sanfeng, despite being an elder, needed to consider his dignity. With so many onlookers present, suggesting the annulment outright would seem too abrupt. “Qingshu, I’d like to have a private word with you.”
“Is that so?” Xia Qingqing instantly noticed Zhang Sanfeng’s hesitation and realized he found it inconvenient to speak openly. However, facing Zhang Sanfeng—this legendary martial artist—alone was daunting, so she hesitated to agree right away.
At this moment, Ren Yingying spoke up first, “Master Zhang, I’ll go with you. After all, some things I need to address personally.”
“That works as well,” Zhang Sanfeng agreed readily.
Seeing Xia Qingqing’s hesitation, Ah Jiu leaned over and offered, “Song-lang, I’m also curious about what Sister Ren has to say. Let me accompany you.”
