This woman was indeed the object of their ridicule. Whenever she saw Young n.o.ble Murong, her eyes would not even move away from him. Unfortunately, she grew up to have this ghastly appearance. If he did not know now that she was flush with cash as well as the boss of Profound Heaven, he would not even want to spare a glance at her hideous face. In all likelihood, when she heard him say this, she would be ecstatic with this promise of marriage. He had deceived so many people with this trick. He even hooked up with the Defense Division’s third young lady, not to say about this leftover woman who was thrown out from her family.

Thinking of this, the man’s smile grew even brighter.

He still yet to know that under Helian Wei Wei’s youthfulness and pretence as a dim young girl was a mercenary queen.

As far as Huai An’s hooking up with Helian Mei was concerned, there absolutely was no proof.

“Since you know that I don’t even know you, then why don’t you hurry up and leave?” Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes like a cat who was about to stretch its claws.

Huai An’s face stiffened. He did not expect to get such an answer at all. It was as if his face was slapped in front of everyone.

Since the “tender and soft as water” move did not work, Huai An simply sneered, “Telling me to leave? The Defense Division has received my betrothal gifts, so you tell me to go now? Where do you put the matchmaker’s words.”

The people present looked at one another. According to the rules, once the betrothal gifts were received, it meant consent and the couple must marry. Otherwise, one would suffer rebuke from the public.

Helian Wei Wei did not care about this at first. She remembered that the Third Prince once told her something concerning reputation, so she could only hold her temper and not swung her first at Huai An.

Come to think of it, this proposal came too suddenly. She just announced her ident.i.ty, and immediately such a shameless man showed up and said that he had given her betrothal presents.

Anyway, somebody wanted to get her to marry on purpose!

As for this Huai An, he must have been a sc.u.m in spite of his jade-like appearance.

If she married him, not only would he not treat her well, he might have other plans in mind as well.

And the person who arranged all these accepted betrothal gifts well in advance while also let her not even have the chance to refuse the marriage. What a malicious mind!

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes were cold, her gaze swept toward Master Huai An’s waist ornaments. The corners of her mouth curved up, “You talked about betrothal gifts earlier. I have not even seen those. Go find that person who received it from you instead.”

“Do you think of reneging on the promise?” Huai An took a step forward, “Those betrothal gifts are now in the Defense Division. Madam Su has already taken care of them for you, just waiting for you to get married. Wei Wei, why are you so stubborn? Don’t you trust that I will treat you well?”

Huai An was a clever man, he knew how to be firm first and then soft.

This way, it didn’t sound too harsh in other people’s ears. People would only think that Helian Wei Wei used the betrothal gifts and refused to admit the consequences.

If this was accepted without any problem and everything had been arranged properly, it is tantamount to accepting the marriage. What’s more, all made the point that Helian Wei Wei was in the wrong!
