Chapter 826: Don’t Think of Getting Rid of Me
Upon hearing this voice, Yun Xi’s heart thumped and her eyelids twitched.
She turned and looked at Jiang Henglin, who had come downstairs in a casual outfit. He was clearly a son of a n.o.ble family and yet he behaved like a hedonist.
At least, in the eyes of Yun Xi, such an idiot would really never please her.
“Do you think that the Jiang family is something where you can come and go as you wish? You said you wanted to call off the engagement. Have you considered the humiliation it will bring to the Jiang family?”
At the end of the day, he was not happy because she was the one who had initiated calling off this engagement.
For so many years, this engagement that had been arranged since he was young had made him a joke among his childhood friends. Now the Yun family wanted to get out of it after taking advantage of the Jiang family. Not so simple!
“Henglin, what are you talking about?” Lin Yunrong stared at her son, desperately trying to signal to him.
Alas, she had waited for the Yun family to call off the engagement, and now what was her silly son fussing about?
He had been grumbling every day about calling off the engagement and getting back his freedom. Now the opportunity had arisen, but he was not willing to take advantage of it.
Jiang Henglin did not seem to hear her reminder. He walked over, staring hard at Yun Xi with his piercing eyes.
“If you want to call off this engagement, you have to ask whether I agree or not. If I don’t agree, don’t think of getting rid of me.”
His att.i.tude made Yun Xi angry, and she sneered. It was impossible to talk sense to such a person.
“Since you dislike me so much, isn’t calling off the engagement better for you? If you feel unhappy about me initiating it, when it’s time to announce the news, you can say that it was you who called it off first. We will not say otherwise.”
Her couldn’t-wait to-unconditionally-get-rid of-him att.i.tude made Jiang Henglin felt like he was getting slapped in the face by her.
This kind of impression of not being comparable to a dog fart caused him to be full of anger with no place to vent it. Holding in his anger was like piercing his chest with thorns, very painful and uncomfortable.
He was the second young master of the Jiang family; she was just a granddaughter of a police guard. The Yun family was an insignificant clan in Jingdu. What grounds did she have to despise him?
Since the Yun family had made such a big concession and at the same time saved the Jiang family from humiliation, Grandmother Jiang had naturally hoped that this matter would end perfectly this way.
“In this case, it’s settled. We will call off the engagement and make the announcement later.”
Grandmother Jiang made the decision directly without waiting for Grandfather Jiang to say anything.
Grandfather Jiang looked at Grandfather Yun and Yun Xi. Seeing that both of them agreed, he sighed. “Yun Xi, it was our Jiang family that let you down. Grandpa will compensate you.”
Since she’d wanted to call off the engagement, he, who felt dearly for her, would naturally hope that she would be happy in the future.
Initially, he’d thought that with her return, she could cultivate a good relations.h.i.+p with his grandson. But seeing what happened today, this grandson had no ability to get along with her.
The way Jiang Henglin spoke just now was totally without any respect for her. How would you expect the girl to like you?
It really fulfilled the saying of whatever will be, will be. They, of the older generation, should not interfere too much.
“Grandpa and Grandma! I haven’t agreed to call off the engagement yet! How could you make the decision on my behalf?”
Jiang Henglin looked at his grandmother with arrogance. “I don’t agree to call off the engagement!”
His insistence, in the eyes of Grandmother Jiang, was like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
“Henglin, this marriage is not suitable for you. Grandma will arrange another one for you. Or you can seek your own. If you find a suitable one, let Grandma know. I will take charge.”
Lin Yunrong stood up to exhort him as well. “That’s right! Henglin, listen to us, don’t be childis.h.!.+”
