Chapter 28: Breaking Off the Engagement
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
What Fu Sui was most afraid of now was others tying him to Le Wan. He was very annoyed when he heard mother Fuâs words. He was afraid that she would nag again, so he said a few âI know, I knowâ to brush her off.
On the other side, Le Wan had the same thought.
On the way back, Le Xuan poked her arm and asked, âSister, are Fu Sui and Le Yan very close?â
As he had an older sister complex, Le Xuan was extremely dissatisfied with Fu Sui, as his future brother-in-law. So, as soon as Fu Sui appeared, he couldnât help but stare at him.
However, today, he found that Fu Suiâs eyes drifted to Le Yan from time to time, and Le Yan would also look at him occasionally. The two of them looked so awkward that Le Xuan didnât believe that they were fine.
Obviously, he was not the only one who noticed this. Mama Le also noticed this. She was a little unhappy now. âWhy are they so close?â
Papa Le was busy greeting the guests and didnât pay attention to Fu Sui, so he was a little confused. âWhatâs wrong with that kid? â
Le Xuan raised his hand. âDad, I know. That man with the surname Fu seems to be with Le Yan.â
âThatâs your second sisterâs fiancé. Donât be so rude.â Papa Le frowned. âWhatâs wrong with this boy from the Fu family? Does he think that the Le family is his harem and he can choose his wife as he wishes?â
Mama Le hugged Le Wan. âBaby, donât be sad. Iâll make the Fu family give me an explanation.â
âIâm not sad.â Le Wan opened an ice cream cone. âI was thinking about how to tell you that I donât like Fu Sui anymore, but now that he and Le Yan like each other, I donât have to be a sinner.â
Le Xuan turned his face over and looked at her carefully for a while. He saw that she was holding the popsicle relaxedly and did not look sad at all. âDid he do something to make you sad and disappointed?â
âHe didnât.â Le Wan shook her head. âItâs just that I donât like his face after looking at it for a long time. Iâm quite sick of it.â
âDonât touch your sisterâs face,â Mama Le smacked his hand away. âItâs good that you are tired. Seeing how he hooked up with Le Yan so quickly, itâs obvious that heâs not a reliable person.â
Papa Le, on the other hand, thought of how Le Yan had been hanging out with her so-called cousinâs fiancé after just a few days of her return. He also thought of the first time they met and how she had picked on Le Wan. He was worried and wondered if Le Yan was picking on his le Wan.
âBaby, if thereâs nothing else, itâs better to keep some distance from Le Yan.â He sighed at the thought of his brotherâs family. âShe grew up in that kind of environment and found out later that she had been swapped. Iâm afraid sheâll develop some psychological bias and vent her anger on you.â
Le Wan was afraid that they would take their anger out on Le Yan when they met her again. She was afraid that they would be worried, so she didnât mention that she had been targeted several times. She only replied obediently, âI know. Theyâre all studying hard now. We rarely see each other.â
Since the two of them had already hooked up, and Le Wan no longer liked Fu Sui, Mama Le was not willing to tie Fu Sui to her daughter anymore. So, the next day, she ran back to the old house to talk to Grandpa.
She didnât mention Fu Sui and Le Yan, only said that Fu Sui had an outsiderâs heart. âYou liked him before, so you didnât mention some small problems. You also treated him as a playful child. Just bear with it and itâll pass.â
âI just didnât expect that as he got older, he would become more and more violent. He was caught by Le Wan several times and still hasnât changed.â Mama Le wiped her eyes.
âI know youâre on good terms with old master Fu and want to be closer to him, but I only have one baby. I donât want her to be rich but sad, I just want her to live a safe and smooth life. I donât want her to suffer such grievances. I believe that mom and dadâs love for my baby is no less than mine, and they donât want to see her live a life of being bullied.â
Grandpa Le was also very angry when he heard this. âNo wonder the baby hasnât mentioned him in front of me recently. It turns out that sheâs suffered a lot because of him. All of you are too much. There are so many of you, but you canât even protect her. You already know what kind of person he is, so why are you still being nice to him? Just like yesterday, you should have kicked him out of the house.â
âDonât be angry.â Mama Le saw that he was so angry that his beard was trembling. She was afraid that he would be angrier and quickly comforted him, âThe two children are officially engaged, and the two families are long-time friends. With your friendship with old master Fu, itâs not good to fall out directly, so I thought of asking you for your opinion.â
âWeâll do what we have to do. Itâs their fault for not teaching their son properly. We didnât settle the score with them, and they dare to hold it against us?â
