Regarding this, Jiang Ziqi and Gao Qinzhi, the two parties involved, were very proactive. They had brought the token with them on purpose, and they returned it on the spot. The onlookers below were so quick that they only came to their senses after the token was returned.
Grass!
Oh no!
This is an absolutely shocking revelation!
An engagement party turned into a call-out party?
Unfortunately, I'm not very cultured, so all I can say is "Holy crap!"
And the two main characters were too straightforward in returning the tokens, weren't they?
The tokens were like hot potatoes to them; they couldn't bear to keep them for even a second longer. How much did they want to break off their relationship?
After Fu Xingbai finished his speech announcing the engagement, he left immediately. Why would he leave his face for others to humiliate?
You could tell from Fu Xingbai's back that he couldn't stay there for even a second longer.
then--
Another piece of gossip: The city lord fled in disarray!
Oh dear, after watching such a good show, will they still be able to leave the city lord's mansion alive?
I'm so scared.
Zheng Ruofen hadn't left yet; she had something to ask Jiang Ziqi. She was certain that Jiang Ziqi hadn't just talked to Fu Xingbai about the Hu family's little bitch. Judging from Fu Xingbai's reaction, there was definitely something else!
Jiang Ziqi didn't care whether she left or not. She picked up the microphone and said, "The second thing I want to say here today is what the City Lord said: that Gao Qinzhi and I have officially broken off our engagement. From now on, we will marry and have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, she extended her hand to Gao Qinzhi, "Happy single life, Mr. Gao."
Gao Qinzhi smiled and extended his hand as well, "Happy single life, Miss Jiang."
Miss Jiang smiled, turned and left, with Zheng Ruofen following closely behind. At the corner backstage, Jiang Ziqi stopped. "Between you and me, there's nothing more to say, is there?"
Zheng Ruofen, clutching the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, had always been dignified in her cheongsam. "What did you say to your father?"
Jiang Ziqi turned around and said with a slight smile, "Do you think I would tell you?"
Zheng Ruofen smiled kindly, "Qi'er, I'm just concerned about you. You know your father's temper; he's all bark and no bite. Talk to your mother, and I'll talk to your father. There's no such thing as a father and daughter holding a grudge overnight, is there?"
"Mother?"
"You still dare to call yourself 'mother' in front of me? Didn't you hear me address Fu Xingbai as 'Lord of the City'?"
"Madam City Lord, my mother's name is Jiang Yu."
After Jiang Ziqi finished speaking, she walked away gracefully in her dress, which had no hem. Her silhouette was one that Zheng Ruofen had never seen before.
Jiang Yu.
She only learned Jiang Ziqi's birth mother's name today. No matter how many times she asked, Fu Xingbai always kept silent about that woman.
Zheng Ruofen's gentle and virtuous face twisted as she watched Jiang Ziqi's retreating figure. This wretched girl! All those years of being obedient and sensible were just an act! Fine, she won't talk, she'll investigate herself. She refuses to believe she can't find out. There's nothing in Picheng that Zheng Ruofen can't find out! Fu Xingbai—she trusted and supported him so much; if he truly dared to betray her…
Zheng Ruofen slammed her fist against the wall; she wanted to kill him!
Gao Qinzhi, who was passing by, quickened his pace. He saw nothing! He knew nothing!
However, just as he expected, Zheng Ruofen called out to him, "Qin Zhi."
Listening to her gentle voice, it was hard to believe she had been so irritable just moments before.
Gao Qinzhi stopped, "Madam City Lord".
“You silly child, don’t call me Lady City Lord, just call me Aunt Fen. Even though you broke off your engagement with Qi’er, you are still a child I watched grow up.”
Zheng Ruofen approached, "You and Qi'er, you've been meaning to break off your engagement for a while, haven't you? When did you two make that decision?"
