Xun Ting's gaze fell on the man's face, a smile playing on his lips. "Do you want to break off our engagement?"
"Do you think this needs to be asked?" This was the first time Lin Qingbai had ever met a woman who kept people at arm's length, as if she were radiating coldness.
A voice inexplicably jumped out of his mind, and he sensed that she really wanted to break off the engagement. He couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. Impossible, she loved him so much.
"Slap!" Xun Ting suddenly raised his hand and slapped him with all his might, the sound echoing loudly in the courtyard.
When Xun's father saw this, he was shocked. "Xun Ting! Are you crazy? How dare you hit Young Master Lin?"
"I'll return this slap to you, and I won't hold anything else against you. From now on, Xun Ting and you, Lin Qingbai, have nothing to do with each other." Xun Ting felt her palm going numb.
Damn, she should have found something to throw instead of using her hands.
Lin Qingbai licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled mockingly: "It's worth it to break off the engagement with just one slap. This is Lin family territory, get out!"
"This is my grandfather's territory! Xun Ting can come here whenever she wants, it's none of your business, Lin Qingbai! Now that your engagement has been dissolved, don't bother Ting Ting anymore."
Grandpa Lin was furious at his grandson's arrogance. No wonder the girl wanted to break off the engagement. With his bad temper, no girl could tolerate him.
The thought that Tingting would no longer be his granddaughter-in-law made Grandpa Lin feel sad.
"Fine! I'll get lost." Lin Qingbai smiled mockingly, his gaze lingering on Xun Ting's face for a second before looking away.
...
As the three of them sat back in the car, Xun Mengmeng was still in a daze, half-believing and half-doubting: "Sister, is your engagement with Qingbai really dissolved?"
"Of course it's true."
When her father heard her admit it, he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her across the face. "Smack!"
"Xun Ting, do you even know what status the Lin family holds in H City? You were incredibly lucky to become Lin Qingbai's fiancée, and you still dare to break off the engagement? Are you trying to push the Xun family's business off a cliff?!"
Xun Ting touched the inside of his gills with the tip of his tongue, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I won't return this slap, because you raised me, but try hitting me again next time."
"You've gone too far! You dare hit your father?" Her father was agitated by her words and raised his hand to slap her again.
The listener was even faster, intercepting the conversation immediately: "Tell me, how much did it cost you to raise me? How can I sever ties with you?"
The father was stunned for a moment, never expecting that his soft-hearted son would say such a thing.
"You want to sever ties? Without Xunjia, you can't earn money, you can't take care of yourself, do you think you can survive?"
"Sister, what are you saying? We are family, how can we measure our relationship with money? Our relationship cannot be severed so easily."
Xun Mengmeng stared wide-eyed, her innocent eyes filled with worry, as if she were very concerned about her.
"Name your price." Xun Ting's calm, unwavering eyes were unusually cold; she didn't even want to put on an act with this family.
Although there are still six years until Xunmeng is twenty-five, in the original book, Xunmeng suffered a heart accident when she was twenty years old and almost did not survive. At that time, Xunmeng's family had the idea of transplanting a heart in advance.
She didn't have any feelings for Lin Qingbai because he disagreed at the time, but now that she and Lin Qingbai have severed ties completely, there's no possibility that he would have any feelings for her.
With only three months left until Xunmeng turns twenty, is she going to wait to die instead of leaving now?
