âAre you really ok?â Su Yuxin asked.
âYes, Iâm back now,â Su Qingsang replied.
âThatâs good.â Su Yuxin felt relieved, but then he though of something else. He had no idea whether he should tell Su Qingsang or not.
âIs there anything else?â Su Qingsang asked.
âItâs Qiu Yanbo.â Mentioning his name made Su Yuxinâs expression become colder. His tonedid as well. âHe wants to break off his marriage to Sister.â
âWhat?â Su Qingsang was stunned. âWhen did this happen?â
âYesterday,â Su Yuxin replied.
Last night, Qiu Yanbo had solemnly visited the Su Mansion with many expensive presents to beg for Li Qianxue and Su Chenghuiâs pardon.
The Su Family had been stunned, especially Su Peizhen. She had been too stunned to accept it.
âDid I do anything wrong? Did I cheat on you? Why do you want to break off our engagement?â Su Peizhen had shouted.
âYou are good and never do anything wrong. I donât love you, though, so I want to break off our engagement,â Qiu Yanbo had replied.
Su Peizhen could not accept such a ridiculous reason, âWeâve been engaged for a long time. Why didnât you say that before? Now, that weâve been engaged for two or three years, you decide itâs time. Qiu Yanbo, this is ridiculous!â
âSorry,â Qiu Yanbo replied, with a firm tone. âItâs my fault. I thought I could force myself to be with you, but I failed.â
As a tough woman, Su Peizhen couldnât stand Qiu Yanboâs ridiculous reason.
âDonât make an excuse. You can tell me straight if you have fallen in love with someone else,â Su Peizhen shouted.
âNo, I havenât,â Qiu Yanbo replied, with an unperturbed expression. âI can do nothing if you think that. I just donât want to be with someone I donât love.â
Force himself to be with someone he didnât love? Being with Su Peizhen, the first daughter of the Su Family, had to be forced?
Su Peizhen couldnât stand the humiliation, so she couldnât help but stand up and point at Qiu Yanbo.
âJust break off our engagement, then. Do you think I love you?â Su Peizhen said.
When even Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue couldnât figure out how to solve the problem, Su Peizhen yelled, âGet out! Get out of my house. I donât want to see you anymore.â
That day had been Sunday and Su Yuxin had been, coincidentally, home.
He never imagined he could witness such ridiculous scene.
Actually, Li Qianxue thought highly of Qiu Yanbo, so did Su Chenghui.
Both of them knew that Su Peizhen was very stubborn and proud, so they couldnât help but try to persuade Qiu Yanbo how good Su Peizhen was.
No matter how hard Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue tried, however, Qiu Yanbo insisted on breaking off the engagement.
He returned the engagement token to show his determination.
Many feelings crossed Su Yuxinâs mind. He had called Qiu Yanbo his brother-in-law for several years and never imagined he would break off the engagement.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Qingsang was totally stunned. Qiu Yanbo had been with them volunteering for several days.
Then, saying he had to do something urgent, he bid her farewell and went back to Lin City earlier than them.
Su Qingsang had thought Qiu Yanbo had given up his fantasies after seeing how close she was with Huo Jinyao during these days.
She never imagined Qiu Yanbo would do such a ridiculous thing.
Su Qingsang felt a bit uneasy.
During those years, she had been no threat to the Su Family and she had behaved. She didnât want to make trouble, scramble for the wealth, or do something harmful to the Su Family. She just wanted to get along with the Su Family and keep the superficial peaceful atmosphere.
