Chapter 11 - 11 The Golden Book reacts (1/2)

Shun Long had told his father to destroy the engagement 'completely', which showed how dissatisfied he was with the Lin family.

But what he didn't know was that Shun Fang was even more dissatisfied than him... he was burning with anger. The Lin family wanted to take advantage of him for so many years and then just come and ask for a mutual divorce? These idiots had to be dreaming..

For a woman to get divorced by the man's side of the family was an extreme insult, as it deemed that woman unfit to marry. Even p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es had better reputations in this world than women who were engaged and then divorced before completing the marriage, unless that divorce was mutual from both sides.

A divorce being 'mutual' here doesn't refer to both families not wanting their children to marry each other, but it indicated that nothing had happened in-between which would create any suspicions that the woman who had been betrothed to them had been unfaithful.

Even p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es who sold their bodies did it for work, and the men who slept with them did it for enjoyment, but no man would ever want to marry a woman that was engaged with him and yet eyed another man secretly.

That's why the Lin family went in such pains to beg Shun Fang to mutually end this engagement, or Lin Wu's reputation would greatly suffer.

But they underestimated Shun Fang's fury this time. Not only did he kick them out of his estate, but in the next 2 days, word had spread throughout the entire Blue Forest-city and even beyond that, that the Shun family would not accept Lin Wu as their daughter in law and that Shun Long had divorced her.

Shun Long had already heard that the the Lin patriarch's daughter had already been labeled as an unfaithful woman in nearly every household of Blue Forest-city in the last 2 days but frankly he didn't care.

That woman's family abused their status as their 'in-laws to be' for many years and then they wanted to end the engagement without even giving him a proper explanation?

As if Shun Long was naive enough to accept a lame half-assed excuse like ''my daughter will go cultivate in the sect so you have to break up with her now that she decided that, but thank you for being a fat sheep that we could take advantage of for so many years'.

Shun Long easily saw through their lies and understood that there was definitely something else at play here, he just didn't know what yet.. but one thing was for certain, his feelings for the Lin family couldn't drop any lower right now.

He even suspected that the attack he had suffered half a month ago, had something to do with the Lin family. He didn't have any clues back then but now it definitely made sense when he tried to connect the dots. If he died to an assasination, the Lin family could definitely bring up the matter of mutually ending the engagement to Shun Fang as Shun Long would have already been dead , and Shun Fang would have had no valid reason to refuse them then.

The more Shun Long thought about it the more it made sense and his eyes turned colder.

Then he muttered:

''You better not have had anything to do with this Lin family, or you better watch as I play you to death''
