Chapter 28 : You’re Not Necessarily Worthy of Me!
As soon as these words were spoken, it was not only Xuan Yanran and Xuan Shu! The face of the old antique of the Lin family, Lin Bao, sank!
“Junior, think before you speak,” Lin Bao slowly said and looked at Xiao Shui.
There was a faint killing intent in his eyes. A faint aura covered Xiao Shui like lightning!
However, opposite him, Xiao Shui did not answer. Instead, he slowly stood up from his hunched state and faced Lin Bao’s mountain-like killing intent. His expression was cold and his gaze was calm!
“This kid…” Lin Bao narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised.
Xiao Shui’s expression did not change when faced with the killing intent on Lin Bao’s body. He took a deep breath and turned to look at Xuan Yanran before he asked in a low voice, “Xuan Yanran, did you really come to my Xiao family this time to end the engagement? Do you know what kind of influence this canceling of the engagement will bring to my Xiao family?”
“It doesn’t matter what happens to me, Xiao Shui. However, my Xiao family can’t be bullied like this.”
Xuan Yanran’s figure was moving. She stood on the spot and hugged Lin Xuan. Her beautiful eyes also flickered with a faint coldness, “Let others humiliate you? If the Xiao family is powerful themselves, why would they need to hold on to the marriage alliance? In the end, your Xiao family and the Xuan family’s marriage alliance is only to borrow the power of my Xuan family.”
“I know. As the proud genius of the Xuan family, how could you take a fancy to a cripple who has long given up on himself? Our paths have diverged since a long time ago, and we can’t end up together.” Xiao Shui spoke indifferently.
Hearing Xiao Shui’s words, everyone present was stunned. This Xiao Shui…
“Shui’er, you…” When Xiao Zhan heard this, his heart ached. He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Xiao Shui.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering with divine light, “Although you and I think so, others will not.”
“In the eyes of others, you came to end the engagement today to humiliate the Xiao family.”
“Today’s actions will cause the reputation of the Xiao family to fall to rock bottom.”
It was obvious that the Xiao family did not want to break the engagement because they wanted to use the marriage alliance to borrow the power of the Xuan family.
Xuan Yanran shook her head and said very calmly, “You’re wrong. I didn’t cancel the marriage agreement because you can’t cultivate. Under normal circumstances, even if you’re an ordinary person, I wouldn’t care. I, Xuan Yanran, am not a condescending person.”
“This time, the reason for canceling the marriage is…”
Xuan Yanran’s expression was calm. Facing Xiao Shui’s question, she did not immediately answer. Instead, she lowered her head and gently looked at the swaddled Lin Xuan, her tone gentle.
“You asked earlier if this child is mine?”
“He is the son of the Lin family’s Great Yan City Lord, Lin Hao, and my Xuan family’s senior, Xuan Yu.”
After a pause, Xuan Yanran’s tone was gentle. She raised her head and said proudly, “At the same time, he’s also the person I love…”
“I came to cancel the engagement not because I looked down on you, but because I already have someone I like. I hope to pursue the one I love and I don’t want to be bound by such agreements again, causing me to miss the person I’m really waiting for!”
“This is ridiculous!”
When he heard this, Xiao Shui did not speak. Instead, an elder behind the Xiao family suddenly stood up and glared with round eyes, “This infant is so young and has only been born for a few days at most. How can he be your sweetheart!”
It was not only this elder. When the Xiao family members heard Xuan Yanran’s words, they were all furious!
Even if she wanted to break the engagement, even if she wanted to break the agreement, she should at least have found a proper reason!
Liking a baby? What was this excuse? Such a lame reason was too disrespectful to the Xiao family! Everyone from the Xiao family was furious!
Indeed, they indeed wanted to borrow the power of the Xuan family to grow stronger, so they were reluctant to break the agreement.
In order to not let the marriage contract be annulled, they even used some underhanded methods. However, that was ultimately to let the Xiao family grow! Now, this Xuan family was a little too much!
However, just as everyone from the Xiao family was burning with anger and even Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, Xiao Shui stepped forward.
His expression was still calm, as if everything that happened before his eyes had nothing to do with him.
Obviously, he similarly did not believe Xuan Yanran’s words, and he only felt that it was an excuse for her to look down on him. How could a mere infant make Xuan Yanran fall for him?
“Xuan Yanran, you must cancel the engagement today, right?”
Xuan Yanran nodded, “I already have someone in my heart and don’t want to be bound by the marriage contract anymore. As compensation, the Xuan family will compensate your Xiao family’s two high-grade spirit stone mines.”
When he heard this, Xiao Shui smiled instead and said indifferently, “Two mines? Xuan Yanran, do you really think my Xiao family lacks these two mines?”
“This kind of marriage contract was verbal to begin with. I, Xiao Shui, similarly don’t fancy it!”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the family head’s seat, hurriedly got up and said anxiously, “No! Shui’er! This marriage contract can’t be broken! If the marriage contract is gone, your body…”
“Father!” Xiao Shui turned around and said firmly. He looked at the anxious Xiao Zhan and said, “I can resolve my own problem.”
“Furthermore, wanting to rely on other families to grow is only a last resort!”
“Although I’m useless now, is Xuan Yanran necessarily worthy of me?”
“However, since you came to end the marriage today, I, Xiao Shui, have something to tell your Xuan family.”
Xiao Shui slowly turned around and looked at Xuan Yanran and Xuan Shu. He spoke word by word with a cold tone.
“Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns. Don’t bully the poor while he’s down!”
