Jiang Yi stared at Qiao Qing’s cold and beautiful face; he was a little zoned out.
He had to admit that Qiao Qing was a girl with a visage beautiful enough to make others’ fingertips quiver; even when she has no makeup on.
Though her entire being was the laughing stock of the City of Brisk and she had accumulated an unlimited number of infamous incidents, nobody had ever made a bad comment about her appearance.
But so what? He wasn’t going to marry an empty shelled woman and just put her in his home. Someone who’s more on pace with his strides – someone like Qiao Nian, was more suited for him.
Qiao Nian watched over the way Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Qing. Her nails dug deep into her palms as the jealousy inside her nearly imploded!
It wasn’t that she liked Jiang Yi. It was just that she just couldn’t understand why a good for nothing old bumpkin would have such a God-blessed face?!
But, no matter how beautiful she looked, her engagement was going to be broken off! She would once again become the laughing stock of the City of Brisk!
Just imagining the brokenhearted and sad way Qiao Qing would soon look, Qiao Nian felt much better.
He Wanqing was so infuriated it took her a while to realize what was happening. Scared that her daughter would be hurt, she walked up and blocked Qiao Qing’s way.
“Baby, it’s okay. Go back upstairs. Mom will deal with all of this.”
Qiao Qing saw that the corners of He Wanqing’s eyes had turned red from the anger she endured, So her own cold eyes squinted and a snowstorm turmoiled inside.
She patted He Wanqing’s shoulder and pulled her around until she was behind her. Glancing over everyone below her, she said coldly, “What are you doing in my home?”
Jiang Yi took a step forward and thought of the words he had practiced in his head numerous times. Then, he gently said, “Qiao Qing, this whole thing is entirely my fault. I know you are great and you are a nice girl. But, I…”
“Stop.” Qiao Qing raised a hand and interrupted him. There was much impatience in her eyes, “Who are you?”
Silence.
Qiao Qing’s words sent the entire living room into dead silence.
Qiao Nian’s proud expression hung frozen on her face.
Jiang Yi was just a high school student after all. No matter how much he wanted to fake his maturity, Qiao Qing’s three simple words still penetrated his façade and made him lose his rationality.
