For Shang Lu, nothing is more important now than ending the bad relationship between her and Jiang Yi.

And Jiang Yi was quite smart. Considering the reasons why she was blocked by Shang Lu, he immediately understood the reason for her anger.

Jiang Yi knew he was in the wrong this time. When he faced Shang Lu, he rarely used a gentler tone and explained: "I didn't know what happened when you called me. I didn't arrange that comment. I just asked them to teach you a lesson, I didn't expect..."

"That's all?" Shang Lu interrupted Jiang Yi and repeated, "You want to say that you just wanted them to teach you a lesson? I didn't expect them to humiliate me in that way, so this can't be entirely your fault, right?"

Under Shang Lu's questioning tone, Jiang Yi instinctively wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and said no. No matter what words she said, she could only nod in the end: "...Yes."

Shang Lu closed his eyes, and his hand on the doorknob trembled slightly, feeling that the man in front of her was so disgusting and strange to her.

It didn't matter whether he expected something like that to happen or not. The staff of the program was just following his instructions. In any case, his starting point was malice towards her.

What kind of attitude and words he said made others think that she could be despised like that.

She and him had known each other for decades, but he didn't even give her this little respect in front of outsiders.

But Shang Lu didn't want to have any more meaningless arguments with Jiang Yi. She didn't have the time and energy. She just wanted to solve the problem.

So Shang Lu took a deep breath and tried his best to keep himself calm, and said directly: "No matter what you think, it doesn't matter. My idea is just to terminate the engagement, the sooner the better."

Although he didn't understand why Shang Lu suddenly did this decision, but for Jiang Yi, Shang Lu's attitude of avoiding him as if he was a virus still made his face look ugly.

So Jiang Yi's voice also cooled down, and he said directly: "Shang Lu, don't be so naive. Our marriage contract was made by our parents, and it is related to the business interests of the two families. It cannot be changed by you or me with just one word. Even if you and I cancel the engagement, Uncle Shang will not agree easily."

Jiang Yi was always good at persuading people with the words "for your own good". Seeing that Shang Lu didn't refute, he felt more and more that everything was still going on. With himself under control, he continued: "You should have a good rest and calm down. I will pick you up at five o'clock tomorrow night. My parents have just returned from abroad and want to have dinner with you."

After that, he left. , I don’t want to waste my time with Shang Lu anymore.

The next night, five o'clock.

Jiang Yi's car stopped in front of Shang Lu's apartment, but he still couldn't get through Shang Lu's phone number, and no one answered the door when he knocked.

Not knowing where Shang Lu had gone, Jiang Yi was ready to wait patiently for her for a while just like yesterday.

But at this moment, Jiang Yi's cell phone rang.

The person who called Jiang Yi was Chi Yan, his friend for many years and the only son of the Chi family, the top wealthy family in the imperial capital.

The call was connected, and he asked directly: "There is a new racing track in Nancheng, do you want to go and have fun?"

Jiang Yi was a little surprised, because except for Chi Yan who was relatively enthusiastic about him in the high school years, these days In fact, it is not too much for two people to interact privately.

Especially when Chi Yan entered the Chi family's company and began to take over the industry, Jiang Yi heard Chi Yan's name again. In the shortest time, the other party had become Mr. Chi on the negotiating table, making those old foxes fearful and intimidated. They are recognized as the top beings of their generation, leaving him with a big gap.

But Jiang Yi doesn't think he is any worse than Chi Yan. The gap between them now is just caused by their family background, and he will catch up sooner or later.

However, because the title of Chi Yan's friend brought a lot of convenience to Jiang Yi and the Jiang family, Jiang Yi has always taken the initiative to maintain the relationship with Chi Yan.

When Chi Yan took the initiative to call him and ask him out, Jiang Yi naturally wanted to go. Especially since he focused on projects in the entertainment industry this year, some people who originally wanted to please Chi Yan approached him for cooperation. Many people have almost distrusted him. This is a good opportunity to prove that his relationship with Chi Yan is as good as ever, making those people believe that as long as they work hard to please the Jiang family, they will have a chance to hook up with the Chi family.

But he really couldn't leave, so he could only refuse: "I have something to do today. I will arrange to contact you another day and call all the people from high school. It's been a long time since we all got together."

Chi Yan chuckled and said nothing . He agreed clearly and just said: "Let's talk about it then. By the way, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Tell me."

Chi Yan asked slowly: "As for the photo posted by Shanglu Moments today, the one she carried on her travels The bag is quite nice. I want to give one to my mother. Can you help me ask her where to buy it?"

The air seemed to become quiet for a moment.

Jiang Yi caught the key point of Chi Yan's words, but it took him half a minute to digest it, and asked: "What did you say? What Moments did she post?"

Chi Yan's voice was still relaxed: "You didn't See? It was the one posted at noon, on vacation at the beach. "

...Send it to me."

Soon, a screenshot of Shang Lu's circle of friends was sent to Jiang Yi.

The time displayed was three hours ago, and the location was a well-known tourist city that took five hours to reach by high-speed train from the imperial capital.

In the picture, Shang Lu is wearing a light blue suspender skirt, holding a glass of ice drink in his hand, smiling brightly at the camera.

She does seem to be in a good mood.

However, Jiang Yi was on the contrary, his finger joints were slightly white.

He couldn't understand it, he just thought it was ridiculous.

Even though he clearly said that he wanted to take Shang Lu home with him, Shang Lu actually ignored his words completely and even went to a place where he couldn't get back in time.

Could it be that what Shang Lu said yesterday about canceling the engagement was not out of anger?

No, this is absolutely impossible.

This idea was rejected by Jiang Yi as soon as it came up.

That was Shang Lu.

It was Shang Lu who had been following him since he was a child. No matter how coldly he treated her and spoke harshly, he never left Shang Lu once.

But no matter what Shang Lu thinks, it is a fact that she is avoiding him now.

Jiang Yi opened the car door, took out the cake from the passenger seat that was originally intended to coax Shang Lu, and threw it directly into the trash can on the roadside.

Then he got back into the driving seat, stepped on the accelerator and left Shanglu's apartment.

At this moment, Shang Lu stood outside the window, watching Jiang Yi's car leave, and opened the curtains again.

Shang Lu sat cross-legged on the sofa and sent a message to Chi Yan.

[Thanks, I’ll treat you to dinner when I get the chance.]

Chi Yan and Shang Lu knew each other by bad fate.

It was in the first year of high school. At that time, there were rumors in the school that the senior classmate and the delinquent from the high school next door had a conflict because they liked the same girl and decided to have a fight to compete for the right to pursue that girl.

Then Shang Lu and Chi Yan went there earlier than those who were going to fight, and the two of them met very awkwardly in their school uniforms at the back door of the high school next door.

At that time, Chi Yan frowned and asked Shang Lu: "Why are you here?"

Shang Lu answered honestly: "I want to watch the excitement and take a look at the beautiful women. What about you?"

Chi Yan held his forehead with one hand and then stretched out his hand: "...Me too."

Then the two high-fived.

But something more embarrassing is yet to come.

When the two people were lying on the wall watching the fight between two people from the school and hearing that the name of the beauty they were arguing about was "Shang Lu", they fell silent together.

Shang Lu: "..."

The hands holding the bricks to support his body trembled slightly.

What a waste.

The beauty is herself.

Chi Yan laughed so much that he almost fell off the wall, and the eavesdropping incident between the two of them was unfortunately exposed.

So the two groups of delinquents came together and started chasing them.

Chi Yan dragged Shang Lu through more than a dozen alleys, and even though he was very tired, he still teased her, "They really like you, they are all chasing you -"

Really chasing.

Shang Lu: "..."

Shut up :)

After finally getting rid of the two groups of people, Shang Lu was completely exhausted and exhausted. His legs were shaking even when he walked. Chi Yan managed to hold on with a look of disgust. She carried it home.

In fact, Shang Lu was a little worried at that time. It would be very troublesome if he was harassed by those bad boys.

But for some reason, those bad boys who said they liked her would take a detour when they saw her at school.

But Shang Lu didn't care about it for too long. After all, at that time, she only had Jiang Yi in her heart.

Later, Chi Yan somehow became Jiang Yi's friend, and he was also the only person in Jiang Yi's circle who wanted to see Shang Lu.

He would stop Jiang Yi when he said unpleasant words to Shang Lu in public. He would also stop her when Shang Lu stood in the rain at the school gate waiting for Jiang Yishi who would never come. He would rush over while scolding her for having a mental problem. He was forced into the car and sent home.

So even though Chi Yan has been known as a demon king since he was a child, and his actions are so arrogant that it would be an exaggeration to describe him as lawless, Shang Lu knows that he is barely a good person.

So this time, after much thought, she asked Chi Yan to help, at least get Jiang Yi away first.

Sure enough, Chi Yan still had the same heart of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, and he easily agreed to help her.

At this moment, Chi Yan sent another voice message.

"The photo you sent was from last year. If you use it to deceive Jiang, are you afraid that he will find out?"

Shang Lu lowered his eyes and typed a reply.

[He won't remember. 】

Looking from the window, it can be seen at a glance that the cake thrown in the trash can is the most famous strawberry mousse of a certain Internet celebrity store. However, after so many years, Jiang Yi has not remembered it and may not even know her most famous cake. The fruit I hate eating is strawberry.

Not to mention trivial matters such as where she has been, what clothes she has worn, and what photos she has sent.

If he cared about her at all, those photos would be full of holes.

For example, her menstrual period has come and she has dysmenorrhea. It is impossible to go to the beach to drink iced drinks on such a day.

For example, her shoulder was injured during filming at the beginning of the year and left an ugly scar, but her skin in the photo is fair and flawless.

Thinking of this, Shang Lu suddenly felt a little pathetic, or maybe she disliked herself a little.

Obviously, he keeps saying that he doesn't care and comforting himself is all due to the plot in the book, but how can someone who has really followed him for so many years have no feelings at all.

Even though he now disgusts her, she still occasionally thinks about Jiang Yi in the past.

When she was seven years old, her father locked her in a room filled with groceries for a whole week because she accidentally broke her mother's belongings.

Except for the servants who would regularly deliver water and food to the door, young Shang Lu could only spend the long and boring time alone in that empty room.

According to Shang's father, he wanted her to reflect carefully.

Shang Lu's mother lost her life when she gave birth to her. She was born with a debt, and she should know how to respect her mother and respect everything her mother left behind.

And that week, a little boy appeared and brought her milk and biscuits from the window every day, passed notes and chatted with her, and even left a doll to accompany her on his behalf.

That was the first friend in her life, and the first person who was kind to her and cared about her and worried about her every day.

Later, Shang's father finally let her out.

Shang Lu quietly asked the nanny at home. That week, only the young master of the Jiang family lived in the merchant and studied calligraphy with Shang's father.

On the day Shang Lu went out, she only had time to see Jiang Yi's leaving figure, and she hugged the doll tightly.

How could someone at that age know what love is, but Shang Lu knew from that time that she wanted to be closer to Jiang Yi.

However, merchants' children were taught by private teachers at home in primary school, and Shang Lu rarely saw Jiang Yi.

So when Father Shang asked her a few years later if she would like to marry Jiang Yi when she grew up, she felt like it was a dream and happily agreed.

It’s just that everything that happened afterward was not pretty.

And at this moment, Chi Yan's phone call came directly, interrupting those memories that should have been turned over long ago.

Chi Yan said in a lazy voice: "So, Miss, I helped you, now it's time to tell me what happened? Jiang Yi bullied you again? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"Nothing." Shang Lu's voice remained calm as he said, "It's just that I'm planning to terminate our engagement with Jiang Yi."

There was silence for a few seconds. Chi Yan asked: "Where are you hiding and crying again?"

Shang Lu: "?"

Shang Lu was speechless: "You have thought too much about the old rotten millet. Don't mention it again.

"So what did he do this time?"

It was not a question, but a tone of affirmation.

From Chi Yan's point of view, Jiang Yi didn't know how many excessive things she had done to Shang Lu over the years, but she still liked Jiang Yi so much.

So how much did Jiang Yi do this time to make Shang Lu give up on him?

"I just suddenly figured it out." Shang Lu didn't want to explain too much. If he told Chi Yan that she found out that she was the vicious female supporting character in the book, the other party would probably hire a psychiatrist for her.

Then Shang Lu asked again: "Why are you still not happy? Didn't you scold me before that I only liked Jiang Yi because of my brain problems?"

"I feel the same now. Forget it, don't say this. Anyway, remember that you are now That's what I said." Chi Yan's voice was inexplicably weird, and he didn't say anything more. He just said, "If things don't go well, you can use me as a shield" and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Shang Lu thought that Chi Yan might have a crow's mouth.

Because this matter is really not going well.

Shang Lu was prepared that the breakup would be difficult, but she never expected that Shang's father would put down his work abroad and rush back home, asking her to go home and discuss the matter in person.

Jiang Yi and his parents also came together. It was obvious that they had discussed the results in private. This was a Hongmen Banquet.

Shang Lu washed his face, tied his hair into a ponytail, and returned to the store wearing simple sportswear.

The moment Shang Lu entered the door, the housekeeper followed her and whispered: "The master is in a very bad mood. Miss, please be patient later, otherwise you will be the one who suffers from the quarrel."

"I understand. " Shang Lu said this, but it was obviously just perfunctory.

A full year has passed since she last saw her father.

However, this time, Shang's father rushed back to China specifically to discuss the engagement, which proved that as Jiang Yi said, it would be extremely difficult for her to terminate the engagement.

In the hall, everyone was sitting on the sofa and seemed to be chatting.

Father Shang, who was wearing a suit, had a cold face as always. The moment he saw Shang Lu walking in, he took a sip of the tea in his hand. On his left side sat the Jiang family's parents and Jiang Yi.

Shang Lu lowered his eyes and shouted: "Father."

After greeting Jiang's parents in the same way, she sat on the right hand side of Shang's father, directly opposite Jiang Yi.

Shang Lu was tired of meaningless false polite words, so before the Jiang family's parents exchanged greetings, he pretended to be stupid and asked: "With so many people here, can we cancel the engagement today?"

Shang's father still couldn't tell on his face. Tai Da was in a flurry of emotions, but he glanced at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi stood up, his face obviously suppressed but still a little ugly, and said: "I'm sorry Lulu, I know there are some misunderstandings between us, but for such a big matter as an engagement, I still hope you won't make a decision so easily, and at least give me an apology. A chance to make amends."

"Oh?" Shang Lu curled his lips and asked innocently, "If you don't want to break off the engagement with me, that means you like me and want to marry and have children, right?

" He was stunned, as if he didn't expect Shang Lu to ask him such a question.

The answer is no, he never thought that the person he would spend his life with would be Shang Lu.

But it was precisely because of Jiang Yi's hesitation that the atmosphere at the scene became more subtle.

"Of course." Jiang Yi's mother was a gentle-looking woman. She quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Your engagement has been going on for so many years, and it really should have been settled earlier." "

Is that so? Thank you, Auntie . , I am so happy." Shang Lu looked at Jiang Yi's mother with a smile, and then said: "Then I am very strange. Since I am Jiang Yi's fiancée, why do the outside world say that I am in a relationship with someone else? Where is the third party?"

"Shang Lu!" Jiang Yi stood up with a warning in his voice: "This matter has nothing to do with her."

Shang Lu also stood up and looked at Jiang Yi and asked, "But you. What does my love have to do with me? You hate me, but you need me and a business, so you can shamelessly continue to use me.

Jiang Yi, you can't just take advantage of me, right? Good thing. "
