Chapter 790: Chapter 790 - Jiang Xuecheng Wanted To Break Off The

Engagement

The more Diya thought about it, the angrier she became. She was the eldest daughter of the Siswell family. How could she not even be able to compete with such a woman?

Diya bit the corner of her lips. The grievance in her heart was about to spill out.

She was the legitimate fiancée of His Highness!

The only person who could stand by the side of His Highness and be held by His Highness’ hand was her!

Diya was born into a prestigious family. From a young age, she knew that she had to find a man of equal status. Marrying the Emperor of the God’s Palace was naturally the best choice!

Diya’s mother was a typical lady from a wealthy family. Later on, she married Diya’s father, the Duke of the Siswell family. The eldest madam’s manner was very fitting.

Diya’s mother had taught Diya from a young age to carry herself like an official wife. After all, she was a descendant of a noble family. There wasn’t a single man who wasn’t unfaithful.

It was acceptable for a man to have women outside. It was fine if he turned a blind eye to it.

However, if the other party wanted to put those women on the table and put them in front of her, and even dared to challenge her authority, that would absolutely not be tolerated!

And Su Wan’s existence had undoubtedly challenged Diya’s bottom line.

However, Diya thought about it. Her mother also said that girls should not be as arrogant as her. Only by showing weakness appropriately would a man pity her.

Was she usually too unruly? That was why the emperor would rather make do with a commoner girl?

That’s right, that was definitely the case. As long as she also pretended to be weak with the emperor, she should be able to win His Highness’ heart, right?

Diya took a deep breath and barely managed to calm down the resentment in her heart.

She raised her neck delicately and showed her elegant and pure white neck in front of Jiang Xuecheng, showing a weak and beautiful angle.

“Your Highness, did you call me here because you wanted to discuss about the engagement with me?”

As she spoke, she deliberately emphasized the word “engagement.” She gave Su Wan a sidelong glance with a strong sense of disdain.

Diya knew what she had to say to hit Su Wan’s Achilles’ heel.

She was His Highness’ legitimate fiancée, and was destined to be on par with the emperor. How could a commoner girl who could not put up a front be comparable to her?

Su Wan had never seen Diya speak with her throat pinched like this. She felt a chill in her heart and could not help but have goosebumps on her hands.

In fact, Diya’s voice was very pleasant to listen to. She had a spoiled and unruly personality, but at this moment, she had to pretend to be weak. Instead, she appeared to be very out of place.

When Diya saw Su Wan frown, she thought that Su Wan was like her. She was shocked by her status as his fiancée and her eyes could not help but show some pride.

She also raised her head higher, showing an expression that she thought was the most elegant and noble.

That’s right, just like what her mother said, she was the main wife. She had to show the aura of the main wife, and make Su Wan, this shameless vixen, feel inferior!

Just when Diya was feeling proud, she suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng speak.

“Diya, I actually want to talk to you about the engagement–”

Hearing that, Diya was delighted. She could not hide the excitement on her face. She even subconsciously ignored the fact that Jiang Xuecheng was still holding Su Wan’s hand, and did not even look at her.

That was great!

She was wondering why His Highness suddenly wanted to meet her!

She woke up early this morning. She had been putting on makeup for a few hours. She knew that the Emperor’s appointment was in the afternoon, but she rushed to come two hours earlier!

Diya thought that she was finally going to have a happy ending. She and his highness were to become real husband and wife, so she did not care about so much!

“Your Highness, you have finally figured out that compared to Su Wan, I am more...”

Her eyes sparkled, as if she was extremely happy.

However, before Diya could finish her words, she heard the man in front of her break all her fantasies with one sentence.

“I am saying that I want to break off the engagement. In fact, Diya, I had never agreed to the engagement with you. It was impossible in the past, impossible now, and even more impossible in the future.”

Diya’s heart thumped. Her thoughts churned violently, and her scarlet lips that had been smeared red could not help but start trembling.

“Your Highness, what did you say...”

Break off the engagement?!

How was that possible!

Her eyes reddened, and bean-sized tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

“Your Highness, how can you treat me like this! You want to break off the engagement, but I don’t agree! The High Priest will not agree even more!”

As if she was hysterical, Diya roared furiously.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at Diya coldly. Her facial features were handsome, but they were so cold that they were frightening. Her pair of obsidian-like eyes were emitting a dangerous light that was even more dangerous than the abyss.

“I will not marry a person that I don’t love, and I will not marry a ruthless woman.”

Diya shifted her gaze back to Jiang Xuecheng. Her beautiful amber-colored eyes were filled with grievance.

“I am ruthless? Your Highness, how can you say that? Do you know what I have done for you?!”

Whether it was her father, who was a duke, or her brother, Fiennes, who doted on her, they did not approve of her marrying the emperor. How much effort had she put in for this marriage?!

But why could his highness say that he would break off the engagement so easily?!

At this moment, Director Fan rushed over. He saw the situation of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan, and Diya confronting each other. He was extremely anxious.

Although Jiang Xuecheng said that he didn’t need to care, Director Fan, as a person with the high priest, more or less had his own considerations.

Director Fan walked toward Diya and coughed lightly.

“Miss Diya, did you really not know about the venomous scorpion incident yesterday? His Highness was stung in order to protect Miss Su...”

Diya was still in a fit of anger. However, when she heard Director Fan’s words, she was instantly stunned.

“Scorpion? What scorpion?”

As if she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw, Diya suddenly ran toward Jiang Xuecheng. Two rows of tears hung on her pretty face. She looked delicate and pitiful.

“Your Highness, don’t tell me you suspect that I was the one who placed the scorpion? I really didn’t! I really didn’t! How could I bear to hurt you!”

Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Diya’s expression.

Why did one or two of them always like Jiang Xuecheng so crazily?

Su Wan seemed to see Sheng An’ning’s figure on Diya...

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng looked at Diya coldly and held Su Wan’s fingers tightly.

“You know very well what you’ve done. Miss Diya, ask yourself, which of the things that you’ve done, one after another, is there anything that I like?”

“Back then, you let someone wear the dress with hidden pins. You even pushed them into the water. Miss Diya, have I wronged you?”

When Diya heard that Jiang Xuecheng was going to settle the old scores, her amber eyes were filled with tears. Her head was dizzy.

Her lips were trembling, but she did not know how to explain herself.

“Your Highness–”

However, the next sentence from Jiang Xuecheng sent Diya straight to hell.

“I won’t marry you, Diya. Take care of yourself.”

With that, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan’s hand and strode away.
