Chapter 174: Broke off Their Engagement
“Are you really ok?” Su Yuxin asked.
“Yes, I’m back now,” Su Qingsang replied.
“That’s good.” Su Yuxin felt relieved, but then he though of something else. He had no idea whether he should tell Su Qingsang or not.
“Is there anything else?” Su Qingsang asked.
“It’s Qiu Yanbo.” Mentioning his name made Su Yuxin’s expression become colder. His tonedid as well. “He wants to break off his marriage to Sister.”
“What?” Su Qingsang was stunned. “When did this happen?”
“Yesterday,” Su Yuxin replied.
Last night, Qiu Yanbo had solemnly visited the Su Mansion with many expensive presents to beg for Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui’s pardon.
The Su Family had been stunned, especially Su Peizhen. She had been too stunned to accept it.
“Did I do anything wrong? Did I cheat on you? Why do you want to break off our engagement?” Su Peizhen had shouted.
“You are good and never do anything wrong. I don’t love you, though, so I want to break off our engagement,” Qiu Yanbo had replied.
Su Peizhen could not accept such a ridiculous reason, “We’ve been engaged for a long time. Why didn’t you say that before? Now, that we’ve been engaged for two or three years, you decide it’s time. Qiu Yanbo, this is ridiculous!”
“Sorry,” Qiu Yanbo replied, with a firm tone. “It’s my fault. I thought I could force myself to be with you, but I failed.”
As a tough woman, Su Peizhen couldn’t stand Qiu Yanbo’s ridiculous reason.
“Don’t make an excuse. You can tell me straight if you have fallen in love with someone else,” Su Peizhen shouted.
“No, I haven’t,” Qiu Yanbo replied, with an unperturbed expression. “I can do nothing if you think that. I just don’t want to be with someone I don’t love.”
Force himself to be with someone he didn’t love? Being with Su Peizhen, the first daughter of the Su Family, had to be forced?
Su Peizhen couldn’t stand the humiliation, so she couldn’t help but stand up and point at Qiu Yanbo.
“Just break off our engagement, then. Do you think I love you?” Su Peizhen said.
When even Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue couldn’t figure out how to solve the problem, Su Peizhen yelled, “Get out! Get out of my house. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
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 couldn’t 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 Yuxin’s mind. He had called Qiu Yanbo his brother-in-law for several years and never imagined he would break off the engagement.
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 didn’t 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.
