Chapter 5 Let’s cancel the engagement!

She opened her cell phone and looked at the balance of several hundred yuan on her bank card. In the past two years, the Su family gave her one thousand yuan a month for living expenses. However, she knew that after her parents passed away, they left her tens of thousands of yuan a month for living expenses. Most of the extra money was embezzled by Shen Baiying. If she wanted to live independently, she had to get back all the money and inheritance.

"Did Big Brother say when he would return to the Su family?"

Of course, Ke Liman would not call her brother such a cheesy word in front of others. At this moment, she was thinking about how to convince Su Gu Huai to agree to help her.

"Next week is the old man's 60th birthday. The old man will return to his country to celebrate this year. The eldest young master will go home this afternoon to discuss the arrangements for the old man's birthday."

As for Su Gu Huai's grandfather, Ke Liman didn't have much contact with him in her previous life. She only knew that he was an old man with a strange and stubborn temper, but he raised Su Gu Huai since he was a child. It shouldn't have happened that he suddenly died a month after his birthday when he was in good health.

"Miss Ke, we're here."

Ke Liman turned her head to look out the window, and a large luxurious villa came into view. A new villa was being built nearby. She still remembered that on this day in her previous life, Shen Baiying signed an agreement with her to build a new villa on the pretext that she would marry into the Su family sooner or later, and transferred 50 million from her parents' inheritance.

She was actually very happy at first, and excitedly thought that Shen Baiying had already regarded her as the daughter-in-law of the Su family.

"Miss Ke, if you have time, the young master asks you to spend as much time with him as possible."

When getting off the car, Butler Bai seemed to be trying to argue for something for Su Guhuai, but then he realized that as a servant, he talked a little too much, nodded to Ke Liman apologetically, and got into the car.

Ke Liman didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what Butler Bai said, and she subconsciously agreed with him. After all, she also needed Su Guhuai's help now, and more contact would help to bring them closer!

Back to where the nightmare began, Ke Liman took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Baiying sitting on the sofa in the lobby. Several boxes of beautifully packaged gems on the table were dazzling under the light. A group of wealthy ladies in bright and beautiful clothes were chatting happily around her.

"Oh my! Mrs. Shen is really a good wife. This gemstone is worth at least several million!"

"Yes, our husbands usually only dare to buy bags and shoes when we are given hundreds of thousands of dollars. How can we be as generous as you and spend four or five gemstone necklaces at once?"

Shen Baiying couldn't help feeling proud when she heard the flattering words. She saw Ke Liman coming in and immediately stood up and said with a worried look, "Xiaoman, why are you back at almost noon? You didn't come back all night last night. Auntie was worried about you."

Ke Liman sneered inwardly. The most important thing in their circle was that unmarried ladies from noble families were not allowed to stay out overnight without their parents' permission. Wasn't it obvious that Shen Baiying was embarrassing by saying this in front of so many people?

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Baiying finished speaking, several noble ladies showed disgust on their faces, as if Ke Liman was very indecent.

"Xiao Man, if something happened to you last night, how would I explain it to my dead parents..."

Shen Baiying suddenly began to pretend to wipe away tears, and several noble ladies began to persuade her.

"Xiao Man! Your Aunt Shen treats you like her own daughter, you must not disappoint her!"

"Yes! We have seen how she has treated you over the years!"

If it were Ke Liman from her previous life, she would have felt that she was unforgivable wrong by now. She clearly saw the pride in Shen Baiying's eyes.

Moral kidnapping! She loved to control herself like this in her previous life!

"I'm sorry Aunt Shen, you know the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and I was out reviewing last night! I didn't tell you because my phone was broken."

Ke Liman tried her best to make herself look as cowardly as she was in her previous life. She lowered her head with an aggrieved look, but her eyes quickly scanned the boxes of jewelry on the table.

Oh! Isn't this her mother's dowry? Are you so eager to take it for yourself?

"How could you stay out all night to review your homework? When did you learn to lie, Xiaoman? It's really because your aunt didn't teach you well..."

As soon as the word "lie" came out, the noble ladies looked at her with even more contempt. It was the same in her previous life. They deliberately ruined her reputation and accused her of cheating in the college entrance examination. She couldn't find a job at all and had to be tied to the Su family.

"Auntie, I really am reviewing my lessons. I stayed with my eldest brother all night yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him."

Ke Liman emphasized these three words all night, thinking: I'm sorry, big brother! I'll use you as a shield first!

As soon as these words came out, Shen Baiying's face changed drastically. She noticed that the noble ladies looked a little surprised. She was afraid that they would set a trap for her to fall into, so she quickly said, "Yes, it's my duty as a big brother to teach my little sister. Zhe'an is still waiting for you in the room! Go and keep him company!"

Without even glancing at Shen Baiying, Ke Liman went upstairs to Su Zhe'an's room and knocked on the door with a cold face, "Su Zhe'an, open the door."

Su Zhe'an is video chatting with Jiang Xinyan.

"Zhe'an, can you send our Jiang family an invitation to Grandpa's 60th birthday? I really want to go!"

Jiang Xinyan's eyes were full of calculation. Everyone knew that the threshold for the Su family's banquet was extremely high. Those who could get in and show their faces would find it much easier to negotiate business outside in the future.

"I'll try my best, but I don't know if that woman Ke Liman will go and complain to my mom again..."

“Squeak—”

The door suddenly opened. Su Zhe'an looked at Ke Liman standing at the door with a gloomy face and frowned: "Who allowed you to come in?"

"Su Zhe'an, I have something to discuss with you."

"I don't have time to talk to you now, get out."

Su Zhe'an still looked superior. Over the years, Ke Liman was no different from his servant. Even if his shoelaces came loose while he was walking on the road, Ke Liman would squat down and tie them up without saying a word.

He was very dissatisfied with Ke Liman's attitude towards him last night. He decided not to pay any attention to her this month and make her regret her frivolous attitude last night!

Ke Liman turned around and closed the door, then sat on the sofa in the room. He picked up the tea that the servant had prepared early in the morning and poured himself a cup.

Su Zhe'an's face suddenly darkened. "Get out. I won't say it a third time."

"Su Zhe'an, let's cancel the engagement."

Ke Liman looked up at Su Zhe'an, looking at the man she loved terribly in her previous life. There was a strong aroma of tea in her mouth. Perhaps it was a little bitter because it had been brewed for too long. Ke Liman felt that the taste was bitter from her mouth to her heart.

Su Zhe'an thought he was hallucinating, "What did you say?"

Jiang Xinyan on the other end of the video instantly looked happy, and then Su Zhe'an hung up the call.

"Let's cancel the engagement. I'll leave the Su family after the college entrance exam, and you can pursue the happiness you want."

"Ke Liman, are you too idle? Now you have time to come and make trouble with me?"

Su Zhe'an sneered. Is this woman trying to use a new trick to attract his attention?

“I’m serious.”

"Ke Liman, you know I've always wanted to cancel the engagement, but my parents wouldn't allow it."

Ke Liman nodded, "Well, my uncle and aunt should be at home now, let's go and talk it over and ask a lawyer to come and notarize it."

Su Zhe'an frowned and looked at Ke Liman's expression. Without any intention of being angry, he reminded her again: "This marriage is cancelled. There will be no possibility for us to be together in this life."

"Isn't that nonsense? If there is any possibility for me to be with you, why would I cancel the engagement?"

Ke Liman was a little puzzled. She thought Su Zhe'an would be so happy to hear the news that he wanted to fly, but why was he hesitating now?

"Is it because of Xinyan? You're jealous, and now you're trying to torture me in another way. Do you want me to be scolded by my dad? That's a really good trick."

Su Zhe'an had a look of seeing through everything, with his slender hands folded, examining Ke Liman, who looked serious in front of him, trying to find any trace of guilt on her face.

"You are so narcissistic..."

Ke Liman rolled her eyes almost to the sky, why didn’t she notice it in her previous life!

Maybe because she was so humble in her previous life, she never dared to say anything harsh to upset Su Zhe'an, for fear that Su Zhe'an would break off the engagement with her.

Now, she took the initiative to bring it up.

"You are right about one thing. Don't you like Jiang Xinyan? Don't you want to marry her as soon as possible?"
