Rong family lobby.
Rong Lin, the head of the Rong family, sat at the top, and the expression on his face was not very good.
He had doubts about the engagement of his second son to the little girl of Yu Yu's family, fearing that the two would have conflicts due to the difference in their abilities and incompatibility of their personalities. He also lamented that he felt his son was not ambitious enough and was delaying the girl's life.
However, he never thought that the Yu family would disregard the cooperation between the two families and come directly to cancel the engagement! Isn't this trampling on the face of his Rong family?
As for the attitude of the third elder, Rong Lin glanced at the old man who was leisurely drinking tea and the middle-aged man in black standing behind the old man, and sighed in his heart.
Ever since the young lady from the Yu family entered the Yantian Sect, the Yu family has become more and more outrageous. Relying on the support of one of the nine major sects, they act arrogantly and do not take the other three families in Rongcheng seriously at all. The alliance between the Rong and Yu families is now in name only.
Helplessly, he had to swallow his anger.
The middle-aged man in black standing behind the three elders was at the Soul Condensation Realm and came from the Yantian Sect...
It's just a piece of paper marriage contract, but the Yantian Sect has also sent people. I'm afraid the young lady from the Yu family won't be willing. Rong Jian shook his head secretly, his heart filled with lingering melancholy.
But at this moment, Uncle Rong walked in with Rong Jian.
The young man lowered his eyebrows, looking slightly depressed. He walked up to the group and saluted Rong Lin: "Father."
Rong Lin frowned, very dissatisfied with his second son's cowardly state. When he spoke, his voice was a little harsher: "Jian'er, I think A Rong has already told you that the Yu family wants to cancel the engagement with you. What do you mean?"
"Whatever your decision is, father." Rong Jian answered in a low voice, extremely calm.
"You don't have any resentment at all?" Rong Lin's eyes became stern.
"No." The young man answered straightforwardly, but his voice was slightly trembling.
"Good, very good!" He was truly a good son. No questions, no resentment, no struggle. Have you only learned what cowardice is in these thirteen years?!
Rong Lin took a deep breath so as not to lose his composure in front of others.
"Haha, Master Rong, your second son is truly a wonderful person." The Third Elder put down his teacup and smiled brightly. "However, since your son has no objection, Master Rong, please do not drag it out any longer. The engagement is canceled. My young lady and your son shall part ways."
Rong Jian snorted lightly and waved his hand to take out the marriage certificate. Since his son was so determined, why should he insist on it? Just cancel it, it won't bother anyone.
"Master Rong, just do it!" The third elder picked up the marriage certificate at hand, controlled it with spiritual power, and floated towards Rong Lin.
Two engagement contracts were held in Rong Lin's hands, and the bright red color was extremely dazzling.
Rong Jian looked up, his heart aching slightly, and he was very reluctant to let go. But what right did he have to be reluctant? The Yu family's intentions were so obvious, what difference did it make whether he agreed or not?
"Jian'er, let me ask you again," Rong Lin looked into his son's eyes and hesitated for a while before speaking. "Do you agree to cancel the engagement?"
"...I agree." Rong Jian lowered his eyes to avoid his father's sharp gaze and answered.
In the past, he walked on a road full of thorns, with a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that there would be someone who would wait for him and accompany him; in the future, he... probably would never find the light in the darkness again.
"Okay, as you wish!" Rong Lin's eyes flashed with anger, and spiritual power gushed out of his hands. He was about to destroy the marriage certificate.
Suddenly, a voice mixed with spiritual energy came in: "Wait! Can't destroy it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white unicorn slid into the lobby because it failed to brake in time, and then fell to the ground together with the girl on its back.
Everyone in the lobby: “…” What an eye-catching way to make an appearance.
At the same time, the guards of the Rong family also rushed in breathlessly: "Master, she is too fast, we can't stop her!"
Without waiting for others to react, the man in black standing behind the third elder appeared beside the girl and carefully helped her up.
Rong Lin's eyes flashed slightly. First, he wondered why the girl stopped him. Second, he was puzzled. The people of Yantian Sect had such an attitude. Who was this girl?
The Third Elder was also puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Senior Qu, what are you doing..."
Yu Bie Liu, aided by the black-clothed middle-aged man, stood up, brushed off the dirt, and with a wave of his hand, put the tired, eye-rolling unicorn into his spirit beast bag. Then, he walked forward with graceful steps and bowed to Rong Lin: "Hello, uncle."
Rong Lin waved the guards away and asked, "Let's not talk about the fact that I don't know who you are. This marriage is between my Rong and Yu families. Why are you stopping it?"
"I am Yu Bie Liu." Yu Bie Liu raised his eyes slightly, his gaze extremely clear.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except the middle-aged man Qu Meng in black had different thoughts.
Rong Lin subconsciously looked at Yu Bie Liu, feeling strange. This little girl from the Yu family was actually here to stop the broken engagement? He had thought that the broken engagement was her request. After all, if you really counted it, it was his son who was not worthy of her...
The third elder of the Yu family opened his mouth and felt his face flush. He didn't even recognize his own niece? How shameful! But he couldn't be blamed for this. After not seeing her for eight years, the little carrot-head had grown into a little girl. Who could recognize her?
Rong Jian also slowly raised his head and looked at his... fiancée.
The girl was wearing a light blue long dress with some cloud patterns on it, which was very simple. She was taller than him, standing very straight, with her hands hanging at her sides, and she was slender, fair and very beautiful.
Looking up again, you can see her slender neck and slightly fleshy chin; her lips are small and slightly light in color, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she is smiling; her nose is quite straight, making her look quite heroic, and there are her eyes.
She looked at her father with her crystal clear eyes, without fear or dodging, only a slight questioning. She was asking her father, as the other party to the engagement, did she have the qualifications to prevent the breach of the contract?
With just one glance, that emotion was deeply engraved in Rong Jian's heart. He suddenly realized that she was different from him.
She was confident, unafraid of all difficulties, and full of courage. Even just standing there, she could make people feel her pride. But he had already surrendered to fate and no longer struggled. No matter who he met, he would always lower his eyes and hunch his back...
What a world of difference.
With mixed feelings, Rong Lin spoke again, his tone unconsciously relaxed: "This is interesting. The Yu family came to me to discuss an engagement, and you, niece Yu, hurried over to stop me. So, I..."
"Since the head of the Rong family has already agreed to the marriage contract, he should quickly destroy the marriage certificate!" The third elder stood up and urged urgently.
Yu Bie Liu turned his head, his eyes indifferent, and his tone was unceremoniously: "When did it become your turn to decide my marriage?"
