When Yuan Jibai saw Zhou Ningxuan, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"Bo, why are you here?
I'm really sorry that my marriage with Jiuer has caused her any harm.
My nephew is in mourning now, so I'm afraid the wedding date will have to be postponed."
Zhou Ningxuan looked at Yuan Jibai and said regretfully:
“I never thought that Brother Zhou and his wife would have such an accident.
As for Jiuer, she is already 17 years old. If she waits another three years, she will be 10 years old and become an old maid.
In the entire capital, the number of girls who are still unmarried at the age of ten can be counted on one hand.
Jiuer is afraid that she will become the laughing stock of the entire capital!
A daughter's reputation is particularly important. I can't bear to see my daughter's reputation ruined like this.
I thought about it and decided to forget about this marriage!"
After hearing this, Yuan Jibai's face turned pale. He clenched his fists and said:
"Bo, what do you mean?"
“That’s what you understood.
Your marriage with Jiuer is now off the table. From now on, your marriages will have nothing to do with each other!"
Yuan Jibai suppressed his anger and asked:
"Does Jiuer know about this?"
"Marriage is a major matter, and everything must be arranged by the grandma and the matchmaker.
Besides, Jiuer also agreed to cancel the engagement."
After hearing this, Yuan Jibai could no longer suppress his emotions and shouted:
"I don't believe it. Jiuer and I love each other so much, how could she agree to cancel the engagement?
You must have lied to me!
I don’t believe Jiu’er would be so heartless, I don’t believe it…”
"Believe it or not, Jiuer agreed to this."
After saying this, Zhou Ningxuan took out the token of engagement between the two families from his sleeve pocket, which was a jade pendant.
Zhou Ningxuan placed the jade pendant on the table and said:
“I’ve returned the token your Yuan family gave to our Zhou family.
Please return our Zhou family's keepsake!"
Yuan Jibai's emotions were somewhat controlled:
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
Seeing Yuan Jibai's controlled look, Zhou Ningxuan took two steps back and said:
"It was Jiuer who really agreed to cancel the engagement. You're a little bit emotional right now, so I'd better calm down first!
Please return the Zhou family's token within three days, and I will leave first."
Looking at Yuan Jibai's appearance, Zhou Ningxuan was also a little scared, so he decided to slip away first.
As for the token of trust, we’ll talk about it later. Yuan Jibai can’t escape anyway!
As soon as Zhou Ningxuan left, Yuan Jibai fell to the ground. He suddenly thought of something and ran out. He wanted to ask Zhou Jiuer in person!
Yuan Jibai found out that Zhou Jiuer was in a jewelry shop, so he rushed over immediately.
Before entering the door, I heard Zhou Jiuer's voice:
"Master Qi, look at this hairpin. Do you think I can see it when I wear it?"
"Look, I'll look at whatever Jiuer wears."
"Master Qi, you really know how to talk!"
"I'm telling the truth. Jiu'er is stunningly beautiful, and she looks great in anything she wears."
After hearing this, Zhou Jiuer lowered her head shyly:
"Master Qi is making fun of me again!"
"I don't!"
…
Master Qi, isn't this Qi Baixun, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Hengyang?
Yuan Jibai did not go in, but just stood at the door looking at the two people from the jewelry shop.
The two of them spoke familiarly and behaved intimately, it seemed that their relationship was very special!
