Just as everyone was discussing it, Jiang Tian stepped forward to clarify for Duan Muqing, saying that he was just out on business and that the video was intentionally misleading, and that the engagement ceremony would still be held as scheduled.
She hopes everyone won't overthink it.
Since the female lead had already made her statement, everyone naturally had no objections. Filled with doubt and admiration for Jiang Tian, they arrived on time to attend the engagement ceremony.
They entered at 9:00 AM and left at 1:00 PM, but no matter who called, they couldn't reach Duan Muqing.
Jiang Tian, dressed in her engagement gown, waited alone at the scene until the engagement ceremony ended.
Finally, when everyone could no longer sit still, she bowed and apologized, announcing the cancellation of the engagement ceremony.
To be honest, everyone present sympathized with her.
We're all in the same circle, and Duan Muqing is naturally flamboyant. Everyone knows about his past with Shen Qingshu.
Compared to the few months he spent with Jiang Tian, Duan Muqing chased after Shen Qingshu for several whole years.
The person who shaped his youth, and the person he got engaged to after knowing them for a few months because they were a good match—everyone can see which is more important.
Even Duan Muqing's parents were extremely disappointed in their son.
They thought their son had settled down, understood the importance of family, and wanted to live a good life, but a sudden blow left them devastated.
Duan Muqing's actions today have been a slap in the face to the Duan family.
………………
As Duan Muqing listened to her parents' story, her mind went blank.
When he learned that Jiang Tian was handling her engagement party alone without him, it felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, drawing blood and tearing out his flesh.
That's not how it works...
He didn't want to break his promise on purpose...
Duan Muqing didn't want to say anything more and turned to run outside.
He needed to explain to Jiang Tian that it wasn't like that at all.
He hasn't changed his mind. Nothing happened today; it was all an accident.
If they can't get engaged today, there's always next time; they have plenty of time.
Duan Muqing ran to the Jiang family's door. He looked disheveled, his hair was messy, his face was as pale as a ghost, and his handsome face was full of haggardness.
"I want to see Jiang Tian."
Duan Muqing's lips were already chapped and peeling, he shouted.
He thought he would never see him again, but Jiang Tian came out quickly.
She remained as gentle, serene, and beautiful as ever.
She had already taken off her engagement dress and changed into her everyday clothes.
Duan Muqing's eyes reddened. He had clearly seen the person he wanted to see, but for a moment he forgot what he should say.
Before he could speak, Jiang Tian spoke first: "The ceremony didn't take place, and the prepared things weren't brought out in time. I've already packed up the things you gave me. I should be able to distinguish them in terms of material things soon."
"When it comes to feelings, you can't force them. Our relationship ends here."
"Duan Muqing, let's just forget about it."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Duan Muqing slowly savored the two words she had just uttered.
never mind.
She wants to end things with him.
Duan Muqing took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I'll tell you everything. Shen Qingshu's husband was in a car accident, and she asked me to help call a doctor over. The doctor was worried that the area was too remote, so he asked me to come along, and I agreed."
“When we arrived, her husband couldn’t be saved. Her husband’s relatives retaliated, and I was beaten and suffered a concussion. Later, I wanted to come back, but then I encountered Shen Qingshu attempting suicide, so I helped her.”
"I have absolutely no ulterior motives. I really don't like Shen Qingshu anymore. There are all sorts of rumors circulating online..."
Jiang Tian looked at him helplessly: "Duan Muqing, do you think it's because of these things that I want to break up with you?"
