Rong Qi retracted his gaze and looked at Han Xiao, his asked with a demanding tone, “The engagement is first arranged, how many people had my sister rejected because of you? You’re already like this now, and my sister didn’t dislike you, and now you want to cancel the engagement? Even if your heart is made of stone, you should be a little moved, right?”
Hua Wuyan couldn’t bear to listen to Rong Qi’s questioning, he stood up and retorted, “The engagement was arranged by the old Master Fu and your family, brother Han wasn’t even in Qi Hua at that time, besides, she didn’t accept other suitors, what does it have to do with brother Han?”
Rong Qi looked at Hua Wuyan and sneered, “So you’re saying that my sister deserves to be hung up like this? And then let everyone in Qi Hua see her as a joke?”
Hua Wuyan defended himself, “That’s not what I meant.”
Rong Qi continued to sneer, “Based on Han Xiao’s condition, our family have planned to cancel the engagement, however, seeing that the two families are family friends, and my sister took a liking to Han Xiao, we resisted the public’s opinions and did not cancel the engagement.”
He then looked at Han Xiao and glanced at his leg. “My sister said that your leg is injured…”
Before Rong Qi could finish his sentence, Han Xiao interrupted him. “It’s me who’s not worthy of your Rong family, as to cancel the engagement, it’s up to you to propose or me to propose, you can decide.”
Han Xiao’s resolute attitude on canceling the engagement angered Rong Qi. “Han Xiao, with your current situation, who would want to marry you? Who would want to live like a widow after marriage?”
Hua Wuyan could not take it anymore and shouted, “Rong Qi, that’s enough.”
Rong Qi glared at him. “Did I say something wrong?”
He pointed at Han Xiao with one hand and said in a more serious tone, “You all knew better than me on the situation he’s in, my sister wants to marry him, and he felt unfair? Can’t you see that he can’t even stand up now?”
Qin Shu could not take it anymore, she slammed the table and stood up, “What does this have to do with being unfair? What does it have to do with Han Xiao? Your sister had an unrequited love, if she marries someone who doesn’t like her, she will only regret it in the end. Han Xiao is only following his heart, he is not willing to get engaged to someone whom he has no feelings for. If we forced you to marry someone you don’t like, Are you willing?”
Rong Qi frowned and looked at the woman beside Han Xiao. The most eye-catching thing was the old-fashioned glasses on her nose. “Who are you? Do you have a say in this?”
Qin Shu smiled. “It doesn’t matter who I am, what’s important is that no matter what Han Xiao looks like, it’s not up to you to say. Love is a matter between two people, liking someone is your own decision, if you insist on using one person’s feelings and trap on two people, the one who got hurt is herself.”
Before Qin Shu finished her sentence, the three men present were all startled, no one had expected her to say such a thing.
Han Xiao stared at Qin Shu for a long while, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, and it was not easy to notice such a slight smile.
Rong Qi stared at the woman in front of him, as no woman had dared to speak to him like that, her words were to protect Han Xiao clearly.
He turned to look at Han Xiao with a questioning gaze. “Who is she?”
Han Xiao said, “She’s my friend.”
Rong qi asked again, “What friend?”
Han Xiao’s reply was as concise as ever. “A very good friend.”
Was there a difference between answering and not answering?
Rong qi sized up the woman in front of him again, by his standards of seeing countless beautiful women, the glasses were too old-fashioned and would spoil her looks, it would probably be better if she took them off.
Han Xiao saw that Rong Qi had been staring at Qin Shu, he coughed lightly. “I have guests here today, if there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow.”
Rong Qi retracted his gaze and looked at Han Xiao. “Can we postpone the engagement?”
Han Xiao said indifferently, “We can cancel the engagement directly.”
At this moment, Rong Yan hurriedly ran in, she was afraid that her brother and Han Xiao would quarrel.
“Brother, stop fooling around.”
However, when she heard Han Xiao’s words when she walked in, her expression turned ugly.
Rong Qi turned and saw his sister, “Why are you here?”
“I was afraid that you would cause trouble.”
Rong Yan glanced at the people present and noticed that the woman she saw yesterday was also here, she glanced at her before turning her gaze to Han Xiao. “Do you really want to cancel the engagement so badly?”
Perhaps she had been suppressing her emotions for too long, her voice carried a hint of sobs.
Han Xiao nodded. “Yes, it’s good for you and good for me.”
Rong Qi knew that Han Xiao was determined to cancel the engagement, he felt that even f his sister persisted, there would be no result.
“Sis, he is not worth it, after canceling the engagement, I will help you find another one.”
Rong Yan acted as if she did not hear it, she looked at Han Xiao stubbornly. “Who is the person you like? I want to see her. I want to see how she is better than me? How am I inferior to her?”
Han Xiao said, “She is not here.”
Rong Yan said stubbornly, “You can ask her to come, if I don’t see her, I will not give up.”
Han Xiao said expressionlessly, “So what if she comes? I told you very clearly that day.”
Rong Qi only knew that Han Xiao had someone he liked after listening to the conversation, he looked at Han Xiao and said, “It’s not just my sister who wants to see her. I also want to see the woman you like.”
His sister was so outstanding but Han Xiao did not like her, he did not believe that there was someone more outstanding than his sister.
“You all can leave, I have something to do today and it’s not convenient for me to receive you.”
Han Xiao was a quiet person and was annoyed by these noises. He instructed, “Li Hang, please send the guests out.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Li Hang made a gesture to Rong Qi and Rong Yan to invite them out. “Mr Rong, Ms Rong, Please.”
Han Xiao had already given the order for them to leave, Rong Qi was someone who valued his dignity, he immediately grabbed his sister Rong Yan’s hand and walked out.
Rong Yan still did not give up and said, “I won’t cancel the engagement until I see her.”
As they left, her voice gradually weakened until she could not be heard.
The dining room suddenly became very quiet.
Han Xiao looked up at Qin Shu. “Don’t take their words to heart, this engagement was made by my grandfather alone.”
Qin Shu clearly understood what Rong Qi had said just now.
It meant that Han Xiao was crippled and yet still despised his sister.
She gave Han Xiao a reassuring smile. “You don’t need to be affected by their words, I also believe that your leg will recover and you will meet the woman in your heart.”
Han Xiao stared at Qin Shu for a long while before nodding.
After leaving the Han Manor
Hua Wuyan was a little angry at Rong Qi’s words. “Brother Han has already spent a lot of effort on this engagement, now, they used his leg to argue.”
Qin Shu was also very angry at Rong Qi’s words. “If Rong Yan keeps delaying, will there be any consequences?”
Hua Wuyan sighed helplessly. “Keep delaying will definitely have some impact on brother Han’s reputation. In addition, the old Master Han’s health isn’t good, brother Han’s leg won’t recover for a while, I’m just afraid that the old master will put pressure on brother Han, and he will have to consider the old master’s health…”
As he said this, he turned to look at Qin Shu, his eyes paused for a moment..”Can you help brother Han?”
