Chapter 357
As everyone gradually came to their senses, they hurriedly went up to Rong Rong to strike up a conversation.
“Miss Rong, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Zhang Yang, from the Zhang family in Haishi.”
Hello! I am...
"Miss Rong, would you like to ride a horse? Let's have a little race!"
......
A group of people started talking all at once, making a racket and turning the place into a bustling market in an instant.
Rong Rong sat stiffly in the chair, looking blankly at the group of people who were too excited.
Quan Jia and Tai Xiao's faces turned ashen. Tai Xiao immediately protected Rong Rong, keeping these people a meter away from her.
Quan Jia then unleashed her venomous tongue, spatting out her poison without mercy.
"Oh, the illegitimate son of the Zhang family in Haishi? I had almost forgotten about him!"
Zhang Yang's face immediately turned red. "You're talking nonsense! My mother is my father's first wife!"
Although he retorted loudly, he eventually withdrew from the crowd, as if he felt ashamed and did not want Rong Rong to see him in his current state.
Zhang Yang is not Madam Zhang's biological child, but rather Zhang's father's illegitimate son. This is an open secret in the entire Shanghai high society.
However, out of consideration for the Zhang family, no one brought it up openly, but Quan Jia's words hit the nail on the head, and Zhang Yang dared not do anything.
"You? You little dwarf! You want to race horses with Rong Rong? Wait until you can mount your horse without having to stand on a stool!"
Another person blushed. Actually, he wasn't short at all, standing at 178 cm, which was above average. But compared to Quan Jia, who was over 185 cm tall, he was indeed short.
He hated Quan Jia's arrogance and haughtiness, but he didn't have the courage to resist.
Quan Jia's attacks continued, and many people were defeated by his sharp tongue, while many others stubbornly lingered there.
Of course, a small number of people with common sense stood still and watched, knowing that now was not the time to join in.
Nie Li and Rong Cheng are such people.
Rong Cheng was still staring blankly at Rong Rong. Besides being amazed by her beauty, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her, as if the two of them should have known each other. But how could that be?
Nie Li also looked at Rong Rong quietly, his gaze deep, his already dark eyes becoming even more profound.
"I want to cancel my engagement with the Rong family."
A thunderclap exploded in Rong Cheng's ears, jolting him back to his senses. He turned back to Nie Li in disbelief, his eyes blazing with fury. "This is betrayal! You've broken your promise!"
"I will make it up to you!" Nie Li did not make excuses or try to evade the issue. He was always open and honest in his actions. If he had changed his mind, he had changed his mind and would not try to cover it up.
He also has a strong sense of responsibility. Under normal circumstances, regardless of whether he has feelings for Rong Ying, since he is engaged, he will be responsible for the engagement, maintain his integrity, and be loyal to the marriage.
That's what he was originally going to do, but now an unexpected situation has arisen.
This was the first time he had ever considered being selfish and disregarding everything.
He never imagined that one day he would fall in love with someone at first sight, not only because of physical attraction, which he could feel, but also because of the guidance of his soul.
He fell in love with her, body, mind, and soul.
Rong Cheng didn't speak, but just looked intently at Nie Li, while Nie Li's gaze remained fixed on Rong Rong throughout.
Rong Cheng and Nie Li were childhood friends who grew up together. They had a very good relationship and understood each other well.
Rong Cheng knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this point. All he could do was try to secure the best possible outcome for the Rong family, even if it meant crippling the Nie family. This was something the Nie family owed them.
At the same time, Rong Cheng couldn't help but admire Nie Li's decisiveness and courage.
There must have been many people present who were attracted to Rong Rong, but none of them could react as quickly and decisively as Nie Li in such a short time and prepare to annul the engagement.
Only the bravest and most decisive people deserve to have a beautiful woman.
Rong Rong was stunned by the chaotic scene before her, especially Quan Jia. She had only known Quan Jia for his sharp tongue before, but this was the first time she had ever seen Quan Jia 'debate with a group of scholars' in person.
To be honest, it was a bit shocking, a bit scary.
Tai Xiao seemed afraid that Rong Rong would be frightened, so he tried to pull her up and move her to another place.
However, just as he reached out, a pair of clean, large hands suddenly grabbed his wrists from the side, stopping his movement.
Tai Xiao looked up and met Quan Yu's dark eyes directly.
His eyes seemed to be perpetually shrouded in mist, unfathomable and mysterious, inspiring awe and deterring any disrespect.
Tai Xiao unconsciously stiffened, took a step back, and let the other person take off their coat and cover Rong Rong with it.
An eerie silence fell over the scene once again. Everyone stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. His presence was terrifyingly strong, and his aura was intimidating.
His gesture of draping a coat over Rong Rong, in particular, was full of possessiveness.
Everyone glared at them angrily, as if facing a formidable enemy, but no one dared to say a word.
Even Quan Jia seemed to dare not speak out against her anger, her face contorted with rage as she glared at Quan Yu.
If Quan Jia is the Great Demon King, then Quan Yu is the Demon God. Quan Jia can never defeat him, no matter what.
Kwon Mata's intelligence is frighteningly high, and he has eyes that see through everything, making every plan flawless.
Quan Jia often doubts whether Quan Yu is even human.
As a child, Kwon Mata was just precocious, but as he grew older, he became more and more like a monster, as if he had no emotions and no desires.
No! That's not quite right. Quan Yu still has feelings. He gave all his emotions, desires, and humanity to Rong Rong. It was because of this that Quan Jia was certain that Quan Yu was a person.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched Quan Yu and Rong Rong.
The man was tall and slender, backlit, his expression hidden in the hazy light and shadow. He bent down and picked up Rong Rong, and only then could people see his face clearly.
It was a face sculpted with unparalleled skill, so beautiful that just one glance was enough to deflate the spirits of those who were initially unconvinced and harbored delusions about Rong Rong, making them dare not have any more thoughts.
With such a god-like man by their side, what right do these stunning beauties have to indulge in wishful thinking?
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, watching Kwon Yu carry the person away.
They had different thoughts, and most of them were greatly affected, but Nie Li was definitely not one of them.
He kept staring at Quan Yu and Rong Rong's backs, his eyes unfathomable.
Rong Cheng's heart was also filled with mixed feelings, as if he had lost something very important.
"Brother, why are you back?" Rong Rong wrapped her arms around Quan Yu's neck, clinging to him, her eyes filled with dependence and joy.
More than a decade of childhood gave Rong Rong a perfect childhood, as if she had grown up all over again.
The regrets and loneliness of the past have all vanished.
She was completely cured.
Besides the deep paternal and maternal love she received from her father and mother.
More importantly, and what made her feel happier and warmer, was the intense love and affection from Kwon Yu.
