Chu Xixuan held the bowl and thought for a moment before saying, "Just hold on for another year, and we'll cancel the engagement after that! I've already told Grandpa!"
Lan Ziye asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"I know, you probably want to break off the engagement with me immediately, right? But... I'm doing this for the good of your Lan family. There are too many interests involved between our two families because of a marriage contract, and I need time to deal with it! I promise you, I will try my best not to let the Lan family suffer any losses!" Chu Xixuan said again.
Lan Ziye suddenly felt a fire burning in her chest. She was furious and said, "Chu Xixuan, do you think I, Lan Ziye, am easy to bully? You tricked me into getting engaged, and now you cancel the engagement, you're so proud of your plan, aren't you? You even tried your best to prevent my Lan family from suffering any loss. Why would you let my Lan family suffer any loss?"
Chu Xixuan was stunned by Lan Ziye's scolding and looked at him in confusion.
Lan Ziye grew increasingly angry as he thought about it, his emotions uncontrollable as he shouted, "What did you say back then? You said that as long as I get engaged to you, I'll have free access to the Chu family's resources. I can get information about the Essence Stone more easily, and if the Chu family gets the Essence Stone, I can take it! There will be so many benefits, so many rewards!"
"Look now. I haven't seen a single Essence Stone, haven't gained any benefits, and have been left with a bad reputation as someone abandoned by you, Mr. Chu, bringing shame to our entire family. Chu Xixuan, we don't have a deep hatred, right? Even if you took the wrong medicine, you can't treat me like this, right?"
"Let me tell you, I, Lan Ziye, am not someone you can easily mess with. Do you believe that I will go out and kill your entire family right now, not even sparing a single dog?"
Chu Xixuan was completely stunned. Without thinking, he blurted out, "I don't have a dog at home!"
"Hey! You still think you're right? I'm going to burn this place down right now, leaving not even a single flower or plant behind!" Lan Ziye was really furious. She, Lan Ziye, had been domineering for so many years, but she had never suffered such humiliation. It was so hateful!
After yelling, Lan Ziye was about to stride out to commit the crime.
It wasn't until Lan Ziye was about to walk out of the room that Chu Xixuan came to his senses and regained his usual calm and aloof demeanor. He said coldly, "Then what do you want me to do to cancel the engagement?"
How can I cancel the engagement? Lan Ziye suddenly stopped, confused for a moment. She didn't seem to want to cancel the engagement with Chu Xixuan!
When this thought came to her mind, Lan Ziye was frightened by herself. She was going back to the person from three thousand years ago, so how could she get entangled with others here?
Yes, she wanted to go back three thousand years. She wanted to go back, and as long as she went back, all these troubles would be gone!
Lan Ziye suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Xixuan. Then, he strode angrily to Chu Xixuan, took out a piece of brown paper from his Qiankun bag, threw it in front of Chu Xixuan and said, "Give me all the essence stones and other materials on it, and we will cancel our engagement. We owe each other nothing and never have any contact with each other again!"
Chu Xixuan put down the bowl of porridge and stared blankly at the piece of brown paper in his hand. He remained in this position for a long time even after Lan Ziye left.
Lan Ziye returned to her room and started packing her things. She wanted to leave here and never see that annoying Chu Xixuan again.
Seeing that Lan Ziye was not in good condition, the housekeeper hurried to report to the head of the Chu family.
So, when Lan Ziye walked out of the villa gate, he ran into the head of the Chu family.
