Chapter 354: Unable to End The Marriage

Couldn’t end the engagement?

Gu Qiqi’s expression turned slightly cold. “I’ve already returned the engagement and keepsake to you. You want to renege on your debt?”

Mu Liuchuan wiped his sweat.

For some reason, Gu Qiqi was clearly not as tall as him and wasn’t as old as him. Furthermore, she was just a girl. But he felt that standing in front of Gu Qiqi at this moment, he actually felt like she was superior to him in all aspects.

Even Xiao Ning’s aura was stronger than his.

Mu Liuchuan wriggled his lower lip before he replied with difficulty, “It’s not... Qiqi, I’m not trying to renege on my debt. But this keepsake is damaged. I can’t report it back to the Mu family.”

“What did you say?” Gu Qiqi frowned.

Could it be that Mu Liuchuan was going to cheat her and slander her for breaking his keepsake?

How shameless.

Mu Liuchuan endured the pressure and opened the jewelry box. “Qiqi, look...”

When she saw that jade pendant, Gu Qiqi frowned even more tightly. “Isn’t this the same as before?”

There was no sign of it breaking apart.

Mu Liuchuan shook his head. “It’s not the same, Qiqi. There was originally a pair of rings on this ancestral jade pendant of mine. It meant that it would be completed and be united forever. But now... there’s only one ring left. That’s incomplete.”

He deliberately emphasized the words “ancestral” and “incomplete” to highlight the uniqueness of this keepsake.

Gu Qiqi’s eyes darkened.

Mu Liuchuan didn’t seem to be lying. Furthermore, if it was a lie, it was very easy to expose it.

This matter seemed to be Gu Meifeng’s doing!

In other words, when Gu Meifeng handed it to her at the Gu family that day, one of the rings had already been deliberately removed by Gu Meifeng.

Her motive... was of course to prevent her from breaking off the engagement on purpose.

How sinister!

But what benefits would this bring to Gu Meifeng and the rest?

A thought flashed across Gu Qiqi’s mind. Her gaze immediately turned cold!

They wanted to marry her to Mu Liuchuan and then settle Gong Jue on their own, right?

She didn’t expect that this stupid man would be so popular.

So, she couldn’t withdraw from the marriage now. The initiator of the evil deed was also a stupid man who attracted so much attention!

Gu Qiqi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It was also a burden for men to be too popular.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Gu Qiqi’s tone became calmer. “Isn’t it just a jade pendant? At most, I’ll compensate you!”

Mu Liuchuan had an incredulous expression on his face. “Qiqi, I’m not bragging. You might not understand, but this jade is the best quality old glass type. The rarest thing is that there’s a little red jade in the middle. It’s like a person’s sincerity that can only be encountered by luck and not sought after. Qiqi, actually, I don’t care that half of this family heirloom has been broken by you. As long as you marry me, I guarantee that I’ll hide this matter and not let the elders know. You’re still the Young Madam of the Mu family that everyone respects when you come to my house...”

Gu Qiqi felt disgusted.

Sincerity was only encountered by luck and not sought after?

Mu Liuchuan, you’re a two-timer and a man who has feelings for others. You still have the cheek to say the words “sincerity?” Don’t insult yourself!

“There’s no need!” Gu Qiqi interrupted his long and passionate speech without a trace of politeness. “Isn’t it just an old glass type with some red jade? I’ll return you an identical piece!”

“Qiqi, stop fooling around. This is impossible to find! Also, even if you find it, it’s very expensive. How can a student like you afford it...”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You just have to know that I must withdraw from this marriage!”

“Qiqi...”

Mu Liuchuan looked at Gu Qiqi’s firm attitude and didn’t know what to feel for a moment.

Why was she so determined to end the engagement?

She had paid such a big price to end the engagement.

Could it be that like what Xue Xue said and that she was taken care of by an old man...
