"But I know you're a stubborn person by nature, and you definitely won't listen to me, so I won't force you to do it. As for how to do it... it's none of my business, and I'm too lazy to care."
Tang Yanyan raised her head slightly and said, "Since you are willing to see me, the cooperation is still valid. I will provide you with information about Xia Che's movements, but I will only meet him once at most. After the engagement is canceled, there will be no relationship between us."
“I’ve heard some things about Xia Che’s situation in Jiang City, and it does seem to be not very good… But you know, I hate him. At most, I can only guarantee to look after him for a while while I’m away from Jiang City. But I don’t think I’ll stay in Jiang City for long. After I sign the contract with my Tang family’s partner, I’ll leave.”
Tang Yanyan's goal this time was to cancel the engagement.
She had no feelings for Xia Che, but she valued promises very much.
This marriage agreement, which only exists in words, can be completely ignored by both parties as long as they tacitly avoid mentioning it. Tang Yanyan can simply pretend that it never happened.
But Tang Yanyan is not that kind of person.
Since it's a promise you don't want to accept, then you must completely cancel it and pretend nothing happened... It sounds like a despicable lack of responsibility.
Moreover, the Xia family is not what it used to be. In the past, a marriage between the Tang family and the Xia family would have been considered a step up for the Tang family, but now?
Just a down-on-his-luck person...
Although the Tang family didn't say it aloud, they secretly supported Tang Yanyan in canceling the engagement.
Their Yan Yan has become so outstanding now, it would be such a waste for her to marry a down-on-his-luck young master.
Powerful families are pragmatic; they don't care much about sentimentality.
The fact that Tang Yanyan herself canceled the engagement, instead of her family directly informing the Xia family, was already considered a gesture of respect for the other party.
Otherwise, we can just cancel it. What can the Xia family do about it?
"What? So fast? You... do you know how dangerous my brother is in Jiang City right now? You'll definitely be bringing a lot of bodyguards with you to Jiang City this time, right? Can you stay a few more days?"
Xia Yuxin became a little anxious upon hearing this.
The initial smugness that had risen in his heart because Tang Yanyan wanted to cancel the engagement vanished instantly.
How can a few days be enough?
My brother could die every day now.
How about this? She doesn't want your engagement to be called off. Can you stay a few more days?
"I'm sorry, no."
Tang Yanyan shook her head gently but firmly: "I also have a lot to do, and I will indeed bring bodyguards, but... is it really true that Xia Che was being chased for no reason?"
"I heard from Uncle Xia that the situation is not that bad at all. It's just that the enemies we offended in China are now taking advantage of the Xia family's decline to try and get revenge."
"Your brother will definitely be fine. You're just overthinking it."
Tang Yanyan felt that Xia Yuxin was just confused because she was concerned.
The situation isn't that bad.
Besides...
In this world, there isn't that much fighting and killing. If we really encounter danger, should Xia Che call the police?
Jiang City Police Department enjoys a considerable reputation throughout China.
It's arguably the most capable local police station.
Why do people with difficulties not seek help from law enforcement, but just stand there and endure it?
Tang Yanyan felt that Xia Che wasn't in such a difficult situation.
"You don't understand... Sigh, I can't explain it to you in a short time."
Xia Yuxin shook her head. Although she didn't know how her brother had been targeted by such a terrifying person as an assassin.
But this was something that obviously couldn't be explained to Tang Yanyan.
"Never mind, but there's something I'm still curious about. What do you mean by the 'even worse things' your brother did to you? Did I know about it?"
Xia Yuxin could tell that Tang Yanyan was already planning to leave, but she couldn't just let Tang Yanyan go like that.
Tang Yanyan's return to Jiang City this time shows how outstanding she has become. She is now the most popular and outstanding member of the Tang family, and is being groomed to be the future head of the Tang family. The Tang family would not dare to let Tang Yanyan go back so easily by just hiring a few bodyguards.
She should definitely be equipped with a strong, disciplined, and organized team of bodyguards.
We need to find a way to ensure that this security force can also protect my brother...
So, Xia Yuxin made up an excuse to stall Tang Yanyan for a while.
And it's something that should be said but shouldn't be said...
She was indeed quite curious.
At this moment, Xia Yuxin realized that Tang Yanyan's dislike for Xia Che was not fake, but genuine.
Xia Yuxin also has memories of playing together with everyone when she was a child.
So here's the question...
Xia Yuxin didn't remember when Xia Che had ever hurt Tang Yanyan so deeply.
If it's just the incident Tang Yanyan just mentioned, it's at most a prank, and it doesn't escape that category.
While tricking Tang Yanyan into putting a bottle cap on her head was excessive, it was ultimately a prank.
It's far from a fight to the death.
Tang Yanyan shouldn't be that petty...
"You really don't know?"
Tang Yanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes conveying a meaning that seemed to say, "Stop pretending, this is pointless."
"I really don't know. If I knew, why would I lie to you? Do you think I have so much free time?"
Xia Yuxin shook her head decisively.
She was genuinely unaware of the situation.
Does your brother still have any grudges against Tang Yanyan?
when?
"Okay... let's assume you're telling the truth."
Tang Yanyan was skeptical, then her vision blurred and she was lost in memories.
...
Perhaps due to a genetic mutation, Tang Yanyan's parents are both handsome men and beautiful women with well-proportioned figures, but she was fatter than other babies of the same age from the day she was born.
The doctor said that this kind of situation has happened before.
A skinny couple had a chubby baby, and a chubby couple had a skinny baby.
Both are possible.
Genes are truly amazing.
But Tang Yanyan hoped it wouldn't be too magical.
Because of her weight, Tang Yanyan was never treated kindly by anyone since she was a child.
Perhaps it is because the human instinct to pursue beauty is revealed at a very young age.
Tang Yanyan was forced to become sensible.
Because some children around her had started bullying her.
Even the most foolish child will eventually realize something when they are being bullied.
Actually, this sounds like a hellish joke, but it's really true...
Many children mature early not because they are particularly intelligent.
It's not because they've started to be bullied.
Instinct tells them they can't continue to be bullied, so they either fight back or endure it, but all of this requires a brain smarter than a child to make a decision.
