Grandpa Huo felt that Xie Li was far too impolite, with such a stubborn personality, and had no redeeming qualities compared to Xie Ziyuan.
But the thought of her having the Sacred Heart Fruit made him incredibly envious.
"But you still saved Yuntang, didn't you? The people he brought were a bit too reckless, luckily you're a kind-hearted child..."
Huo Yuntang quickly explained, "We didn't intentionally start the wildfire; the situation was indeed urgent..."
Xie Li: "Oh, but I actually don't want to save them at all, if I weren't a member of the rescue team, with the mission of protecting lives."
Huo Yuntang always uses the excuse of being saved to talk about it, so she might as well just shatter his illusions herself.
So that you won't be so engrossed in your own world that you can't hear what people are saying.
Huo Yuntang did feel hit hard. What did Xie Li mean by this? Was she condemning him?
Even Grandpa Huo didn't expect that Xie Li would so openly express her disregard for life; this didn't seem like the behavior of a good girl.
He felt a lump in his throat; it was unbearable to see his most outstanding grandson being disliked like this.
Xie Li: "By the way, I don't like Huo Yuntang at all either. If you really remember the life-saving grace, then let's peacefully dissolve this engagement."
This time, not only Huo Yuntang, but also Old Master Huo's face darkened.
Old Master Xie laughed. The Huo family had been using the life-saving grace as an excuse to try and link the two of them together.
But now, Xie Li, as the person who saved his life, is directly demanding the annulment of the engagement! This is so satisfying!
“Brother Huo, as you said, children are all a burden. How can we dare to pressure young people these days?”
“You’re right. Xie Li has suffered so much, and we should make it up to her. That’s why we always put her wishes first. Since she’s unwilling, let’s just break off the engagement.”
Old Master Huo did not expect the Xie family to be so tough. Xie Li, a young girl, did not know how to leave herself a way out!
He was so angry he was completely fed up and didn't want to talk to the Xie family at all.
Now that things had come to this, Huo Yuntang stood up. "Lili, I'm sorry, I know my actions of acting first and informing you later have made you angry."
He seemed not to hear Xie Li's refusal, his eyes still filled with deep affection. "I was presumptuous today. Please keep these things as my apology. I will come to see you another day."
After he finished speaking, he calmly got up and helped Old Master Huo to leave.
If the Xie family accepts these betrothal gifts today, they will have no choice but to agree to this matter.
"Wait, take your things too. I don't need them." Xie Li refused without hesitation, completely unconvinced.
After getting out the door and into the car, Old Master Huo pounded his knee hard.
He had never been so humble in front of Old Master Xie in his entire life. Xie Sidu's words were barbed, yet Xie Li, a junior, dared to act arrogantly towards him.
His chest heaved rapidly, and Old Master Huo felt aches all over his body. Even with the best protective measures, he still felt the chill seep into his bones and felt uncomfortable all over in this weather.
"If you don't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" When Old Master Huo thought about his old age and aches and pains, while Old Master Xie was full of energy, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Huo Yuntang: "Xie Li is just young and doesn't understand the feelings between men and women. She's about to take the college entrance exam, so she really shouldn't be distracted."
Xie Li had proclaimed his idea of only studying hard and getting into the capital university on many occasions at school.
Huo Yuntang attributed his recent setbacks to this.
"I was too hasty."
