When Lin Dong said that they were going to cancel the engagement, everyone was surprised.
Chu Yunxiu was stunned for a moment before she suddenly smiled and said, “At least you know your limits!”
Then, she looked at her daughter Qiao Xue. “Xiaoxue, did you hear that? He was the one who took the initiative to cancel the engagement. He should cancel the engagement with this person who only knew how to brag.”
Qiao Xue stared at Lin Dong with a complicated expression. “Lin Dong, are you sure you want to call off the engagement?”
She originally wanted to give Lin Dong half a year’s worth of chances, but after spending some time with him, she realized that Lin Dong had really disappointed her.
It was fine if he didn’t have the ability, but he also liked to brag.
She did not like this kind of man!
Lin Dong nodded. He had no feelings for Qiao Xue, and just like Chu Yunxiu, Qiao Xue had always looked down on him.
In that case, it was better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible.
“Alright then…” Qiao Xue gritted her teeth and decided to end the engagement with Lin Dong early.
When Old Master Qiao saw this, he quickly stopped him. “Xiaoxue, you have to think carefully. If you miss out on something like marriage, then so be it. It’s useless to go back on your word in the future!”
“Go back on your word? Old Master, what are you talking about? How could Snowy go back on her word if she had nothing to do with this boastful waste? You’re thinking too much!” Chu Yunxiu immediately replied.
Qiao Xue also smiled bitterly.
“Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t listen to you. You saw it too. I originally gave him a chance, but he didn’t know how to cherish it.”
“I don’t blame him for not having money or power now. He’s a boy, after all, so we have to give him time.”
“But he has no ability and keeps bragging. I, Qiao Xue, don’t like such people.”
Hearing this, Old Master Qiao was also very helpless.
He looked at Lin Dong and shook his head repeatedly, as if he was disappointed that Lin Dong had failed to live up to his expectations.
After hearing Qiao Xue’s words, Lin Dong said indifferently,
“If you really respected me from the bottom of your heart, you wouldn’t be like your mother, who was prejudiced against me and thought that everything I said was fake.”
“Heh, Lin Dong, I’m really disappointed in you. At this point, you still say that you’re not bragging. Forget it, let’s leave it at that…” Qiao Xue shook her head, unwilling to believe Lin Dong’s words.
Lin Dong was too lazy to explain.
He didn’t even have the most basic trust. Even if he really married Qiao Xue, would he be happy after marriage?
Shaking his head, Lin Dong said, “Take out the marriage contract and tear it up in front of everyone.”
Qiao Xue nodded and went to take out the marriage contract.
The marriage contract between the two of them was with Qiao Xue. Now, he had taken it out and torn it up in public.
“Rip!”
Their marriage contract was torn into pieces and thrown into the trash can.
“Alright, Lin Dong, our engagement is canceled from now on! We no longer have any relationship.” Qiao Xue said in a deep voice.
Lin Dong nodded and did not linger. He said goodbye to Old Master Qiao and left the Qiao family.
After walking out of the Qiao family’s house, Lin Dong’s emotions were also very complicated.
There was a sense of relief and emptiness.
Qiao Xue, who watched him leave, also had mixed feelings.
Could this be considered the first time in her life that she had fallen out of love?
“Sis, have you ever thought that what Lin Dong said might be true?” Qiao Bing suddenly said as she looked at Lin Dong’s disappearing figure.
“That’s impossible! Everything he had said before was not something a country bumpkin like him could do!” Qiao Xue shook her head.
“Sometimes, you can’t judge people too one-sidedly.” Qiao Bing said.
“Child, I don’t even know what you’re thinking. Not only did he reject Ye Ruyu’s advances, he even thought that Lin Dong’s words were true. How is that possible!” Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes at Qiao Bing.
Qiao Bing rolled her eyes at her. “Alright, it’s useless to say anything now. Even if it was true, her sister had already broken off her engagement with Lin Dong, and there was no way she could salvage it.”
With that, she left the Qiao family’s house and headed to the hospital.
She was really a workaholic. The Qiao family had just resolved their crisis and she had already gone to the hospital.
After she left, Chu Yunxiu received a call.
“Hello, it’s Young Master Huang. What was that? You said you know Master Lin? Did you find Master Lin?” Chu Yunxiu was shocked.
It was Huang Zicheng on the other end of the phone.
After Huang Zicheng saw that Liu Qingteng had run away, he immediately went home.
When he returned home, his father, Liu Zhendong, was already carrying a bucket and preparing to take the last of his cash overseas.
The company’s deficit was too big to be saved.
Liu Qingteng naturally couldn’t be counted on, and the bank was also unwilling to borrow money.
Running was the last option.
His father, Lin Zhendong, told him to get ready as well. He had already bought the plane tickets for tomorrow.
Huang Zicheng was unwilling. He wanted to sleep with Qiao Xue tonight before he ran away.
So he called Chu Yunxiu and lied to her again.
Chu Yunxiu had an inexplicable trust in Huang Zicheng.
She actually believed Huang Zicheng’s words and quickly thanked him, “Young Master Huang, you helped our Qiao family again.”
“Thinking about how much you’ve helped us, we don’t know how to thank you.”
Huang Zicheng smiled and said, “That’s nothing. Auntie, you can ask Qiao Xue if she wants to see Master Lin. I’ll introduce him to Xiaoxue!”
“If she wants to, let her come to the Imperial Clubhouse!”
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll tell Xiaoxue right away.” After Chu Yunxiu hung up the phone, she told Qiao Xue about it.
After Qiao Xue heard this, she asked suspiciously, “Really? Master Lin was hired by Huang Zicheng?”
“Of course it’s true. Do you think Young Master Huang is like that Lin Dong, spouting nonsense? Look at how much Young Master Huang has helped our family. Now, he even wants to introduce Master Lin to us. He treats our family too well.” Chu Yunxiu praised Huang Zicheng.
“Let’s go, Xiaoxue. Mom will accompany you. His mother also wanted to get to know Master Lin and thank him in person.”
Qiao Xue listened to her mother Chu Yunxiu’s words and felt that she was right.
Huang Zicheng had helped her family so many times. How could he lie?
He wasn’t Lin Dong.
Moreover, she also wanted to get to know Master Lin.
Let’s see what kind of person this person was that could make City Chief Fang, President Shen Yun, and the Ye family give him face..
