“???”
"I didn't expect that after Uncle Xiao passed away, you, as an orphan, would suffer such a great shock that even your mind is not normal."
"Well, it's indeed our Zhu family's fault. We should have taken you back earlier to be your child husband and shouldn't have let you suffer so much. Let's put it this way, you stay in my Zhu family first, and I will find the best doctor to arrange treatment for you." Zhu Xueruo listened to Jiang Fan's words and thought that Jiang Fan had gone crazy, so she sighed.
After all, even the Zhao family, the top wealthy family, doesn't have the guts to say that they don't like any of the women from the four wealthy families!
How could Jiang Fan dare to be so arrogant, except that he has a problem with his brain?
"...I'm not sick. Okay, let me be frank, I already have someone I like." Jiang Fan said helplessly.
"Who is it?!" Zhu Xueruo couldn't help but ask. She wanted to see which woman could make Jiang Fan dare to abandon even the wealthy family!
Women’s competitive spirit is always everywhere!
"I won't tell you this. But shouldn't you be happy that I broke off the engagement? It's impossible that you fell in love with me at first sight and can't wait to marry me, right?" Jiang Fan said with a smile.
"You're dreaming. Who would want to marry you?" Zhu Xueruo rolled her eyes at Jiang Fan.
She didn't like Jiang Fan at all. If she hadn't been under a lot of pressure to get married recently and felt that Jiang Fan, the marriage partner who had come to her doorstep, was a perfect shield, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Jiang Fan.
It does seem like a good idea to call off the engagement now.
"But I didn't break off the engagement for nothing. If I'm not mistaken, your families were willing to sign the marriage contracts because you must have received a lot of help from my father, right?" Jiang Fan asked.
"As far as I know, yes. My Zhu family had an enemy in the past, and your father helped resolve the grudge. As for the other families, either they were treated by your father, or they received generous gifts from your father!" Zhu Xueruo nodded.
"Okay, I won't ask you to return the betrothal gifts or anything like that. That's too petty. I just want to ask you one question, and I hope you can answer me truthfully."
"Is my mother alive or dead? Where is she now?" Jiang Fan looked into Zhu Xueruo's eyes seriously and asked.
"Your mother is still alive! Uncle Xiao was ordered to be killed by the capital, so we have no way to help."
"But your mother is not on the kill list, so there is still hope of survival. In addition, your father is willing to commit suicide in exchange for your mother's life. Therefore, in the end, with the joint witness of our five major families, your mother was imprisoned and survived." Zhu Xueruo said word by word.
"Which prison?!" Jiang Fan's heart was immediately filled with emotion and he asked hurriedly.
"This... I advise you not to ask. The prison is heavily guarded and extremely dangerous. You can't get in at all." Zhu Xueruo said helplessly.
"Tell me!!!" Jiang Fan was instantly furious and kept asking questions.
"Dragon City Prison! You understand!"
"That's the strictest prison in all of Kyushu, located in the capital, right at the feet of the Emperor! And those imprisoned there aren't just ordinary people! Only criminals who have committed countless murders, economic offenders who have crossed over into large corporations, and fallen top politicians are qualified to enter this prison!"
"The ten prison guards inside are known as the Ten Yama Kings! Not even gods can save people from them! Not to mention the military guarding outside!"
"Since this prison was built, no one has been able to escape from it alive!" Zhu Xueruo said coldly.
"Okay! Thank you!" Jiang Fan nodded.
He had naturally heard of the name of Longcheng Prison, but he was not afraid.
Once the matter in the provincial capital is over and the Zhao family is destroyed, he will go there and bring his mother back! No matter if the road ahead is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, he will cut it down with one sword!
"Oh, think more positively, the most important thing is to live your life well."
"This phone number is for you. If anything happens in the provincial capital, you can call this number. Don't get me wrong, this is purely because of the kindness your father has shown to my Zhu family in the past." Zhu Xueruo took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Fan.
"What are your plans next? From what I hear, the Zhao family seems to have been looking for you."
"Continue to find three families to cancel the engagement." Jiang Fan said lightly.
"I advise you not to go to the other three."
"To tell you the truth, my Zhu family is descended from the Ming Dynasty royal family. We have an ancestral motto: 'Never submit to vassalage, never pay tribute, never cede territory, never marry into another nation!' We must be honest and keep our promises! The Son of Heaven guards the country's gates, and the King dies for the nation!"
"Therefore, we are willing to acknowledge this marriage certificate."
"But the other families may not agree. They value their family background and tradition more and won't allow anyone to tarnish their reputation. Therefore, they will never allow you to become their son-in-law."
"Moreover, they are closer to the Zhao family, and you may end up in a desperate situation if you go there," Zhu Xueruo reminded.
"I understand." Jiang Fan nodded, but didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and tore up the marriage certificate in front of her to show that both parties owed each other nothing, and then said goodbye to Zhu Xueruo.
"This person... really has no interest in me at all? How weird!" Zhu Xueruo looked at Jiang Fan's decisive back and the fragments of the marriage certificate scattered on the ground, feeling inexplicably depressed.
What kind of person is this? Is he blind? How could a white, rich, and beautiful woman like me be indifferent to this? What a weirdo!
Women, especially beautiful women, are always arrogant. If you flatter them too much, they will hate you even more.
But if you ignore them, maybe you can attract their attention!
Of course, this premise also requires that you are relatively outstanding. Otherwise, if you just ignore them randomly, no one will really pay attention to you...
"Miss, there is a man named Ning Peijiu outside who wants to see you." At this time, the servant came in to report.
"Ning Peijiu? I don't think I am particularly familiar with her. Why does she want to see me? Forget it, let her in." Zhu Xueruo recalled the name. It seemed that she had only seen her a few times at banquets, but they did not have much friendship. She didn't know why she wanted to see her.
After a while, Ning Peijiu brought Gu Qingya into the living room and complimented Zhu Xueruo, "Hello, Miss Zhu. You are still as beautiful as ever after the last banquet."
"Just say whatever you want to say. I have something else to do." Zhu Xueruo doesn't like to be polite.
"Okay, then I'll be frank! This is my best friend Gu Qingya. Her grandfather is seriously ill and needs the help of Doctor Bao, the president of the Provincial Medical Association. But Doctor Bao's appointments are full, so I would like to ask Miss Zhu for help and say hello to Doctor Bao." Ning Peijiu said with a smile.
She has just been promoted and is feeling very proud of herself. In addition, as the fiancée of the God of War Tiance, she thinks that she and Miss Zhu are in the same circle!
And since they are in the same circle, they will definitely give each other face!
"I'm sorry, our relationship is not good enough for you to need my help, right? Sorry!" However, Zhu Xueruo refused outright.
If it were any other time, Zhu Xueruo might have helped, it would just be a piece of cake.
But today, Jiang Fan broke off the engagement for no apparent reason, and she was more or less unhappy about it, and really didn't want to meddle in other people's business!
