Chapter 375 Engagement Cancellation
At the banquet, people came and went to exchange glasses, almost everyone was chatting happily, but Huo Xiuyuan, who was cold-faced at the moment, was out of place with the surroundings.
He originally wanted to find Huo Hong, but he never wanted to be entangled by Jiang Weiyang who appeared from nowhere.
"You won't forget what we said before, right?" Jiang Weiyang reminded him.
Huo Xiuyuan pursed his lips and distanced himself from her, "What do you mean?"
He frowned with irritability, he didn't want to be too close to Jiang Weiyang, he glanced around from the corner of his eyes, for fear that Ruan Ying might misunderstand.
"This is a critical moment, don't come to make trouble for me." He tried to drive Jiang Weiyang away.
But Jiang Weiyang was not happy, "Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
She was not in a hurry, she just explained Huo Xiuyuan's inner thoughts at the moment, with a sneer on her face.
"I can't blame me for the mess up before, it's your own problem, you owe me once." Jiang Weiyang didn't plan to say anything to him.
Even if Huo Xiuyuan changes his target now and his engagement with Ruan Ying is imminent, Jiang Weiyang doesn't care about it.
She only wants Huo Yichen.
Jiang Weiyang has a firm goal, and it can even be said that since he fell in love with Huo Yichen at first sight, he has no intention of paying attention to other things.
But Huo Xiuyuan only felt a headache, "Even if we create an opportunity, it's not now."
He slightly softened his expression, wanting to reason with Jiang Weiyang Xiaozhi, and delay this matter for a while.
No matter what, it's the most important thing for Huo Xiuyuan to secure the engagement first.
"Don't think I can't see that you can't let it go." Jiang Weiyang refused to give up.
Although the previous incident didn't have much to do with Jiang's family, it still affected her brother. Jiang Weiyang wanted to find Huo Xiuyuan and asked the other party to help him get closer to Huo Yichen, so let it go.
But Huo Xiuyuan didn't mean that at all, Jiang Weiyang laughed as he wanted to see the relationship between the two of them.
Since he doesn't want to help himself, Jiang Weiyang doesn't intend to make Huo Xiuyuan feel better.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ruan Ying who was approaching behind Huo Xiuyuan, and suddenly raised a gorgeous smile that made Huo Xiuyuan uneasy.
"Miss Feng still said that she would ask you to be responsible, and I also said how you abandoned her so well, it turns out that there is a better choice—" Jiang Weiyang said casually.
With her intentionally raising her voice, Ruan Ying, who had just walked over, could hear her clearly.
Huo Xiuyuan's face was full of bewilderment, he didn't understand why Jiang Weiyang suddenly changed the subject and said such a thing.
"Huo Xiuyuan." Ruan Ying's voice sounded from behind him, "You lied to me."
Huo Xiuyuan broke out in cold sweat on his back for a moment, he didn't care to look at Jiang Weiyang's gloating smile, and turned around to argue with Ruan Ying.
But Ruan Ying asked again, "You chased Murong Qiao before."
"You..." Huo Xiuyuan was hoarse.
He wanted to explain to Ruan Ying, but the other party took the initiative. Before he could figure out how Ruan Ying knew about this, he heard Ruan Ying ask again.
"You just couldn't chase her, so you came after me, right?"
Ruan Ying stared closely at Huo Xiuyuan, not missing the flash of guilt in Huo Xiuyuan's eyes when she said these words.
"Yingying, listen to my explanation, the pursuit of Murong Qiao was just forced by the family, and I had no choice at the time..." Huo Xiuyuan's defense was really pale and powerless compared to his fleeting guilt.
But Ruan Ying didn't want this. When she heard Huo Xiuyuan admitting that she had pursued Murong Qiao, she couldn't listen to anything.
When Mingming confessed before, he said that he only pursued himself.
Ruan Ying interrupted him, "Stop talking, it's all lies anyway, meaningless."
"I'm just afraid that you're overthinking." Huo Xiuyuan looked annoyed.
But Ruan Ying didn't bother to listen to this. When she confirmed that her love was not as pure as she imagined, she acted resolutely and clear-headed, turned around and walked towards the microphone.
"Yingying—" Huo Xiuyuan's voice of wanting to keep her was lost in the crowd.
"I announce that my engagement with Huo Xiuyuan is cancelled."
One stone stirs up waves.
Almost everyone heard what Ruan Ying said, so they turned their heads and looked at her in surprise.
Ruan Ying didn't know where she got the courage to do something impulsive for the first time while holding the microphone, but she didn't regret it.
Huo Xiuyuan's face turned blue. He would never have thought that Ruan Ying, who he thought was the best, could do such a thing.
Huo Hong, who was being flattered and flattered, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and the light in his eyes became gloomy and uncertain.
"this…"
The other people looked at each other, smiled and didn't know what to say.
Ruan Ying's move can be said to have slapped the Huo family in the face.
Afterwards, Huo Xiuyuan felt that everyone's eyes were on him, so he had to stop his action of rushing up to pull Ruan Ying down.
Countless sharp, probing eyes seemed to be watching a show, as if turning into knives on him, making Huo Xiuyuan unable to move an inch.
He had no choice but to hold his face, watching Ruan Ying announce the decision from a distance, and then bear Huo Hong's disappointed gaze.
It was almost a win-win situation, but it turned over.
Ruan Ying's voice immediately caught Ruan's mother's attention.
"Why aren't you engaged again?" Ruan's mother hurried over.
She turned off the microphone first, and then asked her daughter quietly.
Ruan Ying pursed her lips, "Huo Xiuyuan doesn't really like me at all."
The strength she had just summoned up the courage to show was defeated in front of her mother, and her eye sockets were even more red like a rabbit.
After all, I am still used to being spoiled, so where have I ever received such grievances.
Mother Ruan hugged her daughter, and sighed silently from an angle that Ruan Ying couldn't see.
Although she wanted to teach her daughter a lesson, she still couldn't help feeling distressed at this point.
But the excitement is not over yet.
The incident happened suddenly, before Huo Xiuyuan could stop him, he heard Ruan Ying call off the engagement before being called over by Huo Hong.
Huo Xiuyuan wanted to excuse himself, "I—"
Snapped.
An extremely loud sound made the surroundings quiet down.
"Trash!" Huo Hong only spat out these two words coldly.
He withdrew his hand, didn't give Huo Xiuyuan a look, turned around and left directly.
The burning pain on his face made Huo Xiuyuan stunned. He watched Huo Hong leave in a daze. He never thought that he would slap himself in front of everyone.
The engagement party suddenly ceased to exist, replaced by a joke that everyone loved.
Murong Qiao stood on the second floor, seeing everything that happened, the arc of the corner of his mouth has not come down since it was raised.
Huo Yichen suddenly appeared from behind and stood beside her. "So happy?"
Huo Hong left in a fit of anger, and Huo Yichen took advantage of the chaos and walked to Murong Qiao's side.
"No, I just didn't expect Ruan Ying to be so...strong?" Murong Qiao used an inappropriate metaphor.
Her first impression of Ruan Ying was more inclined, as a soft lamb, even if she was cheated, she would just get angry with red eyes, but she didn't expect the other party to come out like this.
However, it was precisely this that made Murong Qiao appreciate Ruan Ying more.
As for Huo Xiuyuan's slap, I liked Murong Qiao very much. Who made him pester the school several times before, this time it was considered a small revenge.
Huo Yichen chuckled, "This time Huo Xiuyuan can be honest for a while."
