Huo Minxuan? Spirited? He was indeed quite spirited.
Qian Duo moved the corners of her lips and gave a sarcastic smile.
She placed her chopsticks on the bowl and said calmly, "Dad, Mom, I want to cancel my engagement with Huo Minxuan."
After silently looking at Wang Guodong, Qian Xiuya said softly, "Duoduo, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"I don't like him."
Qian Xiuya's expression relaxed and she smiled, "I thought it was something else. Feelings can be cultivated."
"What if I can't cultivate him?" Qian Duo looked directly at her mother and asked, "Can't I just cancel my engagement with him?"
Qian Xiuya looked at Wang Guodong in embarrassment. Wang Guodong stroked his chin and said disapprovingly, "Kid, you always do what you want. How can you go back on your word after making an engagement?"
Qian Duo's head buzzed loudly: "Didn't Mom tell me to get along with him first, and if it doesn't work out, it's up to me?"
Qian Feng suddenly sneered at this moment. Zhao You, who was standing beside him, quickly glanced at Qian Duo and pulled her husband's sleeve.
Seeing Qian Xiuya and Wang Guodong fall silent, Qian Duo suddenly felt powerless.
She quickly turned her gaze towards Qian Feng: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"No, I just suddenly thought of something funny."
There was an unspeakable pity in the smile on Qian Feng's face, it was the expression of an adult who knew everything looking at an ignorant child.
That expression seemed to have turned into thousands of fine needles, piercing Qian Duo thoroughly.
"So," Qian Duo suddenly turned her head as if realizing something, staring at Qian Xiuya and Wang Guodong, "Did you guys sell me out?"
"Oh, you little girl," Qian Xiuya smiled awkwardly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can your mother harm you?"
"Yeah, you've never had anything you wanted since you were a child, so don't be so willful." Wang Guodong let out a heavy breath.
It’s hard to explain how Qian Duo feels at this moment.
It was as if Truman discovered that the world he was in was actually a huge live studio and everything was arranged.
It’s like a frog in warm water that suddenly doesn’t want to stay in the pot one day, and the warm water that soaks its whole body turns into boiling water in that instant.
Qian Duo stopped arguing, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said listlessly, "I'm full."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room.
Qian Xiuya has always been an indecisive woman. She looked at her daughter's back and said worriedly, "What should I do?"
Wang Guodong tutted his words and accused her without thinking: "It's all because of you. You spoiled her to the point where she doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. Her heart has become completely wild!"
Qian Feng shook his head in disdain, with a happy smile on his lips.
Qian Feng's wife, Zhao You, swallowed and looked like she wanted to say something, but looking at her husband's as if-not-so-sounding profile, she didn't say it in the end.
Late at night, in the quiet of the Qian family's house, a very light sound of footsteps was heard.
Qian Duo gently closed the bedroom door, carrying a not-too-big backpack on her back, and tiptoed to the living room door.
Since returning to the bedroom, Qian Duo quickly packed up important documents and a small amount of cash, waiting for night to make her escape.
Since she couldn't convince her parents, she simply gave up trying.
Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
Qian Duo stopped when passing by Qian Xiuya and Wang Guodong's bedroom.
The bedroom door was not closed tightly, and warm yellow light leaked through the gap, and faint sounds of conversation could be heard from inside.
"Guodong, tell me, what should Duoduo do?"
"Her? A girl, do you really count on her? If you really want to inherit the family business, doesn't it still depend on Feng'er?"
Qian Xiuya paused and said, "But..."
"But what is it?" Wang Guodong interrupted her, "Just be a little bit irritable. When she understands it, she will know that we are doing this for her own good."
Qian Xiuya sighed: "It would be great if that were the case."
"You don't want to get married at this age. You think about yourself all day long. You don't act like a girl at all!" Wang Guodong said in a rough voice.
"Shh, it's so late, keep your voice down. Well, that's right, for a girl, we just hope she can live an ordinary life. No matter how well she works, it's not as good as marrying well, right? Besides, I think the Huo family is really good."
"The Huo family is indeed good," Wang Guodong responded, "We are so lucky to have a relationship with the Huo family!"
"Yes, I have to pave the way for Feng'er in the future. With this relationship, Feng'er will be able to show his talents in the future."
Qian Duo became angrier as she listened. She stood in the dark, clenching her fists. Her heart felt like it was soaked in chili water, burning with pain.
Her face was also burning, her skin was red and swollen, and she felt dizzy from the fever.
Qian Duo never thought that her parents would say such things!
An Meng's thoughts were indeed correct. Not only did they favor boys over girls, they were also patriarchal in their bones!
It was not noticeable at all in daily life, but once a key event was involved, it was completely exposed!
She just stood there, staring blankly at the dark air. A ray of moonlight came in through the window pane, illuminating a strand of her temples.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a light snoring sound in the bedroom.
Qian Duo suppressed the sour taste rising from her nose and continued walking towards the door on tiptoe.
If she was a little hesitant before, now she absolutely wants to escape.
Qian Duo, who had been busy for a long time, was stunned when she reached the door of the living room with legs that felt like they were filled with lead.
It’s nothing, the door lock can’t be opened!
She began to suspect that she was crazy and tried the password several times. Sure enough, the door was locked from the inside!
Qian Duo: “…”
It seems that her parents had foreseen this and locked the door early!
Helpless, Qian Duo had to hold back her anger and walked back to the bedroom, waiting for dawn.
Qian Duo spent the sad night looking out the window at a 45-degree angle, while An Meng's temples on the other side also felt a throbbing pain.
