Although Liang Feifan is not a morally upright person, his requirements for a partner are by no means low.
Not only do they require their partner to be a virgin, but they also want to hold onto their heart.
In his view, it is perfectly normal for a man to have several women at the same time.
But as his woman, she must be devoted to him, obey him in every way, and follow his every command.
It was precisely because of his almost obsessive-compulsive disorder that, even though he didn't like Jiang Yao at all, from the moment he decided to marry her, he could no longer tolerate her having other men in her heart, not even glancing at other men.
Sure enough, upon realizing that Jiang Yao still harbored feelings for Huo Yunting, Liang Feifan's anger flared up instantly. Ignoring the strange looks from the guests present, he grabbed her arm and forcibly dragged her to the lounge.
Jiang Yao was completely taken aback that Liang Feifan wouldn't give her any face at all. She rolled her eyes in disgust and said in an unfriendly tone:
"What are you doing? You're hurting me."
"You filthy bitch, who gave you permission to flirt with Huo Yunting? Now that you've entered the Liang family, you must abide by the rules of the Liang family." Liang Feifan slammed the door of the lounge shut and pushed her to the ground.
Before she could react, he had already swung up the sleeve of his traditional Chinese wedding dress and slapped Jiang Yao hard.
Two crisp "slap" sounds rang out, and two clearly defined handprints appeared on Jiang Yao's face.
Stunned by the beating, she forgot to fight back for a moment, and just sat there blankly on the ground, staring at Liang Feifan with his ferocious features, "Liang Feifan, how dare you hit me?"
"So what if I fight? What can you do about it?"
Liang Feifan stared coldly at Jiang Yao, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and threatened her sharply:
"You'd better hold back your tears! If things get out of hand, you won't get away with anything. Right now, with your crippled body, trying to climb the social ladder is nothing short of a pipe dream. If I bring up breaking off the engagement again, your life is over."
Jiang Yao was filled with indignation. She wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes and said in a choked voice:
"It's the 21st century, and you're still using slut-shaming? I don't believe that I can't get married without you."
"Jiang Yao, don't you understand the Jiang family's current situation? If it weren't for the Liang family's help, you would be facing a severe cash flow crisis within half a month. If you're not careful, this could lead to bankruptcy. Back then, Song..."
Liang Feifan blurted out something he shouldn't have, then immediately fell silent, avoiding any mention of what happened back then.
Hearing him say that, even if Jiang Yao was unwilling, she didn't dare to confront Liang Feifan head-on.
She knew in her heart that if she insisted on breaking off the engagement, the Liang Group would definitely take drastic measures to suppress the Jiang family.
If the Jiang family encounters an economic crisis, her parents will definitely not let her off easily.
With this realization, Jiang Yao instantly lost her confidence and could only swallow her anger in frustration.
She slowly got up from the ground, and the moment she looked up, tears streamed down her face.
She tugged at Liang Feifan's sleeve with a slightly ingratiating air and said in a low, humble voice:
“Feifan, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, okay? Besides, you really misunderstood me. From the moment I decided to marry you, I completely let go of Huo Yunting. Just now, I didn’t take the opportunity to steal a glance at him. My gaze was always on Ling Mo beside him.”
"Ling Mo...she's here too?"
Liang Feifan's eyes flickered slightly; he was already eager to rush out of the lounge and catch up with Ling Mo.
Jiang Yao noticed the joy on Liang Feifan's face, and felt increasingly uncomfortable.
She only glanced at Huo Yunting secretly, and he got so angry at her.
Looking at himself, he only had Ling Mo in his heart and eyes, yet he wouldn't let her utter a single complaint. It was truly disgusting.
Watching Liang Feifan stride into the restroom and casually tidy himself up, as if no one else was around, Jiang Yao couldn't stand it any longer and muttered under her breath:
"You were the one who had an emotional affair first, so how can you blame me for flirting with Huo Yunting? If we look closely, your situation is probably much more serious than mine."
"When did it become your business to comment on my affairs?"
Liang Feifan glared at Jiang Yao through the bathroom mirror, his words brimming with a sense of superiority.
Jiang Yao clenched her fists tightly. Although she had silently cursed him from head to toe a dozen times in her heart, she showed a well-behaved and docile appearance on her face. She dared not say anything to contradict him, let alone utter the established facts.
In that instant, she suddenly felt deep regret for the persecution she had inflicted on Ling Mo.
If she had been able to stay true to her original intentions and stop earlier on the day of Old Master Lu's birthday banquet, even if she couldn't marry Huo Yunting, whom she longed for, she wouldn't have ended up with a beast in human clothing like Liang Feifan.
Unfortunately, there aren't that many medicines to undo regrets in this world.
Since she chose to deal a fatal blow to Ling Mo, she should be prepared to suffer a terrible backlash.
Imagining her miserable later life, Jiang Yao couldn't help but sob softly again.
In fact, at the moment Liang Feifan hit her, she had considered running away.
Unfortunately, the price of breaking off the engagement was simply too high.
Regardless of whether the Jiang family can withstand the Liang family's relentless pressure, if her parents find out about this, they will not hesitate to arrest her and send her to the Liang family, bound hand and foot...
What Jiang Yao didn't know was that Liang Feifan, whom she desperately wanted to get rid of, was the very person Ling Tian longed for but could never have.
