Chapter 9 Brightness? No illusion
It's not that Rong Lin wanted to be rude, it was because Yubieliu's father's call was so sudden that it made people overwhelmed. He was just dissatisfied with the Yu family's arbitrary decision to break off the engagement, so he just said a few snarky words.
Thinking of this... forget it, it's his fault.
"Ahem!" Rong Lin coughed lightly and put down the tea cup, "That's all, you take the pill. I'll just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Rong Lin is quite satisfied with this... future daughter-in-law. She has talent and background, but is not arrogant, neither humble nor overbearing. She can't fault her. As for her son...
Rong Lin's peripheral vision glanced at Rong Jian, whose face was covered with tea stains and looked depressed... Oh, let's not say anything.
"Elixir, uncle, please keep it as... to honor you." Yubieliu lowered his eyes and smiled, his cheeks were red, and he looked a little embarrassed.
But in fact... it's impossible to say sorry or anything. This person has made it clear that he doesn't want to end the matter easily. He is holding the record. If he wants face, she can just give him face. Isn't it just to call him daddy?
In terms of relationship... almost the same.
"Haha, good!" Rong Lin looked more and more satisfied with Yubieliu, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This is my first time for niece Yu. How about I have someone throw a banquet and have a simple meal?"
"Thank you uncle, but I have been away from home for eight years and miss my parents a little bit..." Yubieliu refused.
"That's it, then go ahead and don't keep your parents waiting for too long!" Rong Lin expressed his understanding, "Jian'er, you go and see her off."
"...Yes, father." Rong Jian, who had a very weak sense of presence, responded.
After saying goodbye, the two of them left the lobby under Rong Lin's pleased eyes.
Seeing the pitiful look on the face of the lucky child with tea stains, Yubieliu suggested that she go change clothes first. Rong Jian did not refuse and took her to her residence.
The location of the small courtyard was not too remote, but it was not considered to be a good one. The courtyard was very cold, with a stone table and a jujube tree. As for the inside of the house, Yubieliu only took a quick glance and found that there were very few things inside.
It seems that her fiancé's life is not going well, and presumably, as the protagonist... how can he not suffer a little bit?
After sitting at the stone table for a while, Rong Jian changed his clothes and walked out.
It was only then that Yubieliu calmed down and stared at this person carefully.
As the protagonist, his appearance is naturally not much different. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose. He has the appearance of an energetic young man... If he didn't have that despair in his eyes, he would be extremely handsome.
The young man's figure was slightly hunched, and he was obviously not confident. After feeling her gaze, he subconsciously avoided it, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he held it back.
Rong Jian was really panicked because he didn't know how to face his fiancée.
Originally, he thought that the break-off of the engagement was her intention, and he had given up the struggle and no longer expected anything, but... it wasn't.
She came to prevent the dissolution of the engagement, and her words and deeds all fell into Rong Jian's heart, warm and itchy, the light he longed for every year.
However, he is a loser, what qualifications does he have to stand next to her? It's because he has low self-esteem, and he wants to retreat... but he can't let go, and he can't let go of this hard-won warmth.
He was very confused when he was changing clothes in the house just now. He hurriedly went in and rummaged through the clothes in the closet, trying to find something decent... probably because he wanted to give her a good impression.
But after dragging it for a long time, she remembered that she had noticed how embarrassed she was just now... and she didn't have any decent clothes in the wardrobe. The spirit stone was given to others, and the remaining money was only enough to cover the expenses.
How can you dress up in life?
After struggling for a long time, she finally put on some clothes casually. After washing her face, he came out. Who knows... why she looked at him for so long. What was she thinking? Did she think he was not good-looking? She should have saved money if she had known better.
Buy two decent clothes... Rong Jian was confused.
Probably, the moment this person suddenly broke in and told everyone that she would not terminate the engagement, he fell into her abyss and refused to leave.
She gave him the hope he had longed for.
Rong Jian thought that he might be a little tempted.
Yubieliu didn't know what was going on in the young man's heart... However, she probably guessed something. She withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "Sit down, let's talk."
"...Talk?" Rong Jian walked over and sat opposite Yubieliu, a little confused.
"Yes, let's talk about our engagement." Yubieliu replied, "I guess you know that this engagement was made thirteen years ago, as well as the covenant between the Rong and Yu families."
Rong Jian knew this. Thirteen years ago, at the insistence of the two family heads, the marriage contract and the covenant were signed at the same time. According to the terms of the covenant, the two families must hold each other hostage, make progress together, and must not undermine the interests of their friends.
"The default point at that time was that marriage contracts and covenants either exist together or suffer together." Yubieliu paused, "So if this engagement contract is ruined, the covenant between your two families will also cease to exist."
Rong Jian was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Are you trying to say that you stopped breaking off the engagement...just for the sake of the alliance between the Rong and Yu families?"
Yubieliu looked at him and said calmly: "Yes!"
Ah... That's it. He was overthinking it and thought... He thought... Rong Jian looked dazed, and a cold feeling suddenly surged up in his heart.
"Rong Jian, I'm just saying this because I don't want you to misunderstand and do something... you shouldn't do!" A cold light flashed in Yubie Liu's eyes as he warned.
"...You shouldn't do it." Rong Jian laughed softly, "Are you afraid that I will like you?"
Yubieliu didn't say anything, but she acquiesced to this statement. She raised her head arrogantly and looked down on the young man, as if telling him that others can do it, but you are not worthy.
"Haha...then you may be overthinking, how could I like you?" Rong Jian smiled reluctantly, his eyes full of self-deprecation.
He thought too much and thought he had finally encountered the light, but in fact it was just an illusion.
Like...yes, he likes light, but he doesn't like illusion.
"Yubieliu, do you think that for a genius like you, everyone who sees you should like you, admire you, and respect you?" Rong Jian's heart throbbed with pain, but she endured it.
Go down.
He stood up and said in a mocking tone, "Oh, you can rest assured, even if I like a pig or a dog, I will never like a selfish, hypocritical and pretentious person like you!"
At the end of the sentence, the young man's voice was full of sternness.
He suddenly had a strong urge to become stronger and stronger than her!
In this way, we can teach her to see clearly who she really is and who she doesn’t deserve!
"Huh! You're just talking." Yubieliu's eyes moved slightly, spiritual power surged from his body, and a force of power pressed down on Rong Jian.
