Jiang Ziqi leaned closer and whispered in Fu Xingbai's ear, "Lord City Lord, if the City Lord's wife finds out about that child named Yunzhi, do you think anyone will be able to inherit your position?"
After she finished speaking, she stepped back, smiled, and glanced into his eyes, enjoying the fear, anger, tension, and doubt in them. "Lord City Lord, I'll ask you one more time, do you really want me to marry Gao Qinzhi?"
Fu Xingbai replied this time, "What's wrong with Gao Qinzhi? His family background and character are both top-notch. I really don't understand what you're arguing about!"
Jiang Ziqi listened to his words without any expression, but then asked the next question, "Where is my mother?"
Fu Xingbai did not answer.
Jiang Ziqi laughed and threatened him, "Don't force me to cause trouble."
"Fu Ziqi!"
Fu Xingbai had been used to Jiang Ziqi's submissive nature for so many years, and she suddenly became sharp-tongued. He couldn't adapt to it for a while, and his habit of giving orders and wielding power was still there: "You better behave yourself and don't be too arrogant! Do you think I wouldn't dare to deal with you?"
Jiang Ziqi sneered, "Do you dare?"
"Qi'er, why are you arguing with your father again? Xingbai, Qi'er is still young, please don't—"
When Zheng Ruofen tried to persuade him, Fu Xingbai, remembering what Jiang Ziqi had just said, softened his attitude a bit, saying, "If you want to know, I'll tell you when we get back to the study."
Jiang Ziqi shook her head, "I need to know now, otherwise I don't know what I might do."
She turned on the microphone and put it to her mouth, the threat not too obvious.
Zheng Ruofen stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
Fu Xingbai knew that Zheng Ruofen had overheard Jiang Ziqi saying that someone had climbed into his bed, and that this matter could no longer be kept secret. If his son's affair were also exposed...
Before Fu Xingbai could speak, Jiang Ziqi said, "Don't lie to me."
Fu Xingbai flicked his sleeve, "What kind of person do you think I am!"
Jiang Ziqi's eyes revealed her distrust.
Fu Xingbai had never been treated like this before, but she held his weakness in her hands.
Then Jiang Ziqi leaned in and overheard the location of her mother Jiang Yu's burial place.
After standing there for a long time, Jiang Ziqi glared angrily at Fu Xingbai, "You actually left her all alone in a place like that?!"
Fu Xingbai glanced at Zheng Ruofen, whose expression was not good, but she still did not add fuel to the fire for Fu Xingbai at this time.
Their behavior on stage had already sparked a great deal of discussion among the people below. The audience consisted mostly of young people, none of whom had the elders present. Young people have far more imaginations than their elders, and they were making all sorts of guesses.
In short, almost no one was optimistic about this engagement, which seemed like a joke from the start.
After calming herself down, Zheng Ruofen accepted the task of "smoothing things over." She knew that the engagement couldn't proceed today. "Qi'er and Mr. Gao's engagement is on hold for now. There's still half an hour before the banquet starts, so everyone can play and dance as they please, don't be shy..."
Fu Xingbai seized the opportunity to step down, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven to his death by this rebellious daughter!
Jiang Ziqi said, "Lord of the City, please announce that the engagement between Fu Ziqi and Gao Qinzhi is cancelled today, and return their tokens to each other. From now on, they will have no further connection."
Fu Xingbai clenched his fist, paused for a few seconds, and then snatched the microphone from Zheng Ruofen. "Everyone, listen to me announce something."
"...Since the engagement ceremony between Fu Ziqi and Gao Qinzhi could not be completed, their engagement is hereby terminated. At the same time, I hereby announce that the engagement between Fu Ziqi and Gao Qinzhi is also terminated. The two shall return the tokens from five years ago, and from now on, they shall marry and have no further connection with each other!"
