Chapter 6 Su Zhe'an is unwilling to cancel the engagement?
"But you are right about one thing. Don't you like Jiang Xinyan? Don't you want to marry her as soon as possible? It would be harmful to both of us if I were engaged to a man who doesn't love me. I don't want to occupy someone else's position."
"I will make it clear to my uncle and aunt that I want to go abroad after the college entrance examination and I don't have time to be the wife of your Su family. You pack up and we'll meet in the study in ten minutes."
After saying such a long string of words, Ke Liman turned the teacup upside down on the tea tray. She didn't like drinking tea at all, but just because Su Zhe'an liked it, she got used to drinking it. But now she felt it was bitter and astringent.
If you don't like something, you should stop losing it immediately, and the same goes for people.
Ke Liman walked out of the room quickly without any reluctance. Su Zhe'an frowned and kept thinking about the truthfulness of what Ke Liman said.
She wants to break up with him?
After thinking for a while, Su Zhe'an came to an impossible conclusion.
This was clearly what she had been longing for, but when he thought of her determined expression just now, he suddenly felt confused again.
After waiting in the study for twenty minutes without seeing Su Zhe'an, Ke Liman was speechless.
This man, why did he lose control at the critical moment? Doesn't he want to be with his white moonlight openly and honestly as soon as possible?
"Xiao Man, you asked me to go to the study with your aunt. Is there something going on?"
Su Guoyi has always been quite satisfied with his future daughter-in-law. It may also be because he and Ke Liman's father were childhood friends. Although he is not very good to her, she is well fed and clothed.
He knew nothing about withholding Ke Liman's living expenses and secretly taking her mother's dowry. Shen Baiying had always been in charge of the family's small financial affairs.
Seeing that Su Zhe'an hadn't come yet, Ke Liman didn't plan to wait any longer and said seriously, "Uncle, Auntie, I want to break off the engagement with Su Zhe'an."
At this moment, Su Guhuai, who was about to enter the study, stopped, and Butler Bai behind him showed a look of joy.
"Master, this..."
Su Guhuai waved his hand to signal him to go down, and stood at the door without saying a word, suppressing his somewhat uneasy thoughts and reminding himself not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Maybe they were just having a minor conflict?
"What!? Break off the engagement?"
Shen Baiying couldn't believe her ears. Was Ke Liman crazy?
Su Guoyi also frowned and said, "Zhe'an bullied you again. I know this brat doesn't study well in school. Uncle will help you deal with him later."
"Uncle, Su Zhe'an doesn't like me. I'm sure you and Auntie know this. I don't want to get entangled in this anymore. Let him and me go free. This will be good for everyone."
"Ke Liman, you signed the engagement contract. If you cancel the engagement blindly, you have to compensate our Zhe'an!"
Shen Baiying became anxious and her true nature was exposed in an instant. She took out the contract from the drawer and looked at the amount on it greedily.
"Look! It's written in black and white! It has been written that the Ke family's property will be transferred to Zhe'an's name. Don't regret it!"
Almost every clause in the engagement contract was in favor of the Su family, but Ke Liman, who was only a senior high school student, had no idea about these things. She was so happy to be engaged to Su Zhe'an that she signed without even reading the contract.
However, Shen Baiying's greedy look in planning her property at this time was inconsistent with her usual image as a virtuous wife and loving mother in front of Su Guoyi. Su Guoyi glared at her, but he wanted to keep the wealth within the family. Although he disdained Shen Baiying's greedy attitude, he agreed with what she said.
"We businessmen have to keep our word. If you want to cancel the engagement, then the division of property will be calculated according to the compensation in the terms."
Ke Liman sneered. In her previous life, she felt that although her father-in-law didn't care about things, he still didn't interfere with her. In their eyes, this marriage was just a matter of benefit. Only she happily thought that she was heading towards happiness.
"Uncle, is there any room for negotiation? I am willing to give up 50%..."
At this time, Su Gu Huai pushed the door open and interrupted the conversation.
"Father, I have a video conference at 3 o'clock. I am in a hurry to discuss the birthday banquet with you."
Ke Liman blinked, somewhat suspecting that Su Guhuai had interrupted on purpose, but she had no evidence. "This is also an important matter for me. Just give me another five minutes."
Su Gu Huai stared at her coldly, as if he was a completely different person from the gentle one he was yesterday. "My time is worth millions a minute. Miss Ke, are you trying to use your few assets to buy my time?"
"Xiao Man, Ah Huai is right. The old man and the company's matters are more important. Let's go out first and not disturb them."
Shen Baiying was delighted to see that the topic was interrupted, and she pulled Ke Liman to go out. Ke Liman looked at Su Guhuai suspiciously, and had no choice but to go out.
"Xiao Man, I was a little harsh just now. Don't mind it. It must be that stupid Zhe An said something wrong and made you angry again. I will teach him a lesson for you!"
Shen Baiying calmed down her emotions, said a few words of symbolic comfort, and seeing that there was still room for improvement, she immediately rushed to Su Zhe'an's room.
Su Zhe'an was playing games in the room at this time. He lost several times in a row. Thinking of Ke Liman's determined look just now, he suddenly became a little annoyed. He suddenly threw the game console to the side with force, and the game console exploded into pieces in an instant.
How dare she break off the engagement?
When Shen Baiying entered the room, she saw the mess of parts on the floor. She walked forward angrily and said, "What's the point of you throwing things here? Your wife is about to run away with someone!"
Su Zhe'an frowned, dissatisfied with Shen Baiying's behavior of entering without knocking, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about."
"Ke Liman came to talk to your dad about breaking off the engagement with you. Little slut, didn't you realize that she has so many thoughts now! Son, no matter what happened before, you must go and coax her tonight to make sure your engagement is foolproof!"
Su Zhe'an still insisted, "Mom, you are exaggerating. She is just showing off."
"I don't think she's joking this time. Listen to me and get the property first. I won't object if you want to have a mistress after marriage! She and Su Guhuai didn't come home last night. Who knows, they might have developed some feelings for each other."
After Shen Baiying made sure the door was closed, she took out a small packet of medicine from her pocket and said, "Take this thing and get her tonight. Girls all value their reputations. You've taken the medicine and turned off the lights, so it doesn't matter whether you like it or not!"
Su Zhe'an couldn't understand Shen Baiying's exaggerated thoughts. "Is property more important to you than your son's happiness?"
"Stupid son! What's the point of being happy without money? Su Gu Huai is back. I heard from your father that he is interested in developing in China. He is a man of great potential. Your father is very strict with the company's accounts. Although the Ke family's wealth is not much, it can pave the way for you to establish your authority!"
"I've put the medicine here for you. Don't let Mom down!"
Shen Baiying sighed, thinking about the villa that had been built under the pretext of a wedding house. Although the 50 million had been discussed with Ke Liman, the agreement had not been signed after all. Now this incident had happened. There must not be any mistakes tonight!
Su Zhe'an looked at the packet of medicine in his hand and threw it into the trash can. Did Ke Liman have the right to drug him? She just came at his command.
Ke Li walked back to her room in a daze. Her room was a guest room next to the nanny's room, the most remote place in the Su family. In the eyes of the servants in the Su family, her status was the same as that of the servants, so no one greeted her along the way.
Looking at the tulips on the table that had wilted a little due to the hot weather, she sighed, "You are just like me, depressed."
Could it be that Su Gu Huai also deliberately interrupted her because he disagreed with her breaking off the engagement with the Su family? If that was the case, then asking him for help would probably not work.
Sitting at the desk, she forced herself to calm down, took out the mock college entrance examination papers and began to practice questions madly. Although she was one of the best students in the school in her previous life, she had not touched the books for so many years that she was still somewhat rusty.
Ke Liman kept doing the questions until it was dark. His stomach was rumbling with hunger. He knew that he would not have any food tonight, so he prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
Anyway, she won't starve to death with one meal, and she will move out in two days. It would be best if the engagement can be cancelled as soon as possible, but if not, we can only deal with it slowly.
Just as she was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door. Ke Liman opened the door and saw a glass of milk in front of her. When she looked up, she saw a wrinkled face.
