Chapter 348: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter
Li Yang is witty and humorous. He had seen many interesting things while studying abroad, and all of them came in handy at this moment. The original owner had just returned from studying abroad, and the two hit it off immediately. They had many common topics and chatted for half an hour.
Si Jinnian stood on the spiral staircase connecting the first and second floors, watching Quan Jiu laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. The warm sunlight outside the window shone on her profile through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a layer of holy, warm soft light on her whole body. Li Yang held the teacup, his eyes fixed on Quan Jiu's face as if with glue.
"Third Master."
The servant next to him was the first to notice Si Jinnian.
Quan Jiu looked up when he heard the voice, and the moment he saw Si Jinnian, the smile on his face visibly faded.
Seeing this, Si Jinnian slowed down his pace as he went downstairs.
After spending these two days together, he didn't realize at all that this woman was "deeply in love" with him. Every time she saw him, she looked indifferent and distant, as if she wished she had nothing to do with him at all.
"Third Master."
Li Yang's expression became serious, and he stood up from the sofa with an extremely respectful attitude.
Si Jinnian didn't say anything, his eyes wandering around Li Yang.
The appearance is just barely acceptable.
The family background is barely acceptable.
But this elegant and easy-going temperament is very common. A real man must have some masculinity.
"Yeah." Si Jinnian responded in a low voice, "Let's talk upstairs."
Li Yang turned around and picked up the information, and saw Quan Jiu still sitting in his seat, with a hesitant look on his face.
He seemed to have forgotten to ask her name. What if she came to the Commander's Mansion just by chance? Then he would not be able to find her next time he wanted to see her.
While Li Yang was still struggling, Si Jinnian was already halfway up the stairs and turned back impatiently:
"Don't want to talk anymore?"
"Sorry, Third Master, I'll be right there."
Li Yang hurriedly followed, and before entering the study, he glanced at Quan Jiu reluctantly.
When he went out again, the seat downstairs was already empty.
Li Yang could only bite the bullet and look at the cold-faced King of Hell in front of him:
"Third Master, do you know that young lady just now?"
As long as I can get the name out, it's fine.
Si Jinnian said indifferently: "I'm not familiar with him."
Li Yang showed a look of regret and could only pray that he could see Quan Jiu again when he came next time.
After Li Yang left, Quan Jiu just came out of the bedroom. She bumped into Si Jinnian standing in the corridor, and a look of surprise flashed across her face:
"Li Yang is gone?"
Si Jinnian: "Do you know him?"
But the boy from the Li family obviously didn't know her.
Quan Jiu didn't answer him directly. When she saw Li Yang, she remembered Kong Manqing:
"What did you do to the man who shot me that day?"
"Kill him."
The corridor was narrow, but the man was tall. When he said the two words, a hint of cold air flowed through the cramped space.
Quan Jiu didn't have much hatred towards this man. After all, the person he wanted to kill was Si Jinnian, and shooting her was just an accidental injury. She felt a little regretful when she heard that her daughter's lover was dead.
"I will return to the Liu family tomorrow. I will let the Third Master know today."
Quan Jiu offered to leave.
Si Jinnian's dark eyes fell heavily on her face. The woman's eyes were serious, without any hint of joking, and he said.
"I'll ask the butler to take you there."
He had wondered if she was trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish, and was deliberately not asking him to repay her kindness. However, after spending the past few days together, he realized that this woman really didn't want anything. The Commander's Mansion was heavily guarded, making it easy to leave but difficult to come in. Once she left, she would probably never have the chance to come back.
…
Quan Jiu returned to the Liu family.
The first thing he did after returning home was to take Mr. Liu to the Li family to cancel the engagement.
Master Liu was resistant, but Quan Jiu was firm:
"It's okay if you don't cancel the engagement. I'll buy a boat ticket tomorrow and continue studying abroad."
When Mr. Liu found out that she was serious, he had to cooperate with her and cancel the engagement in a hurry.
I thought it would be an easy thing, but when a group of people came to Liu's house and asked to cancel the engagement, Mr. Li's reaction was unexpected.
"Master Liu, you're joking. How can you go back on your word so easily when we've already agreed on something?"
The old man sitting in the main seat had a shrewd look on his face and was holding two walnuts in his hands.
Master Liu looked guilty and said, "My daughter Jiaojiao is not worthy of Li Yang. A forced melon is not sweet. Let's forget about this marriage."
The marriage had been arranged for so many years, and he felt embarrassed to go back on his word.
Mrs. Li sat aside in a black cheongsam, looking like the mistress of the house, but her tone was impolite.
"Master Liu, to be honest, a woman who breaks off an engagement has a bad reputation. It will be difficult for Miss Liu to marry into a good family again."
Master Liu felt slightly displeased when he heard this.
No matter how outrageous his daughter is, she can still find a good family.
Madam Li: "Our Li family is a wealthy and powerful family in Jincheng. Your Liu family has been declining over the years. I have never disliked your Jiaojiao, but now you are turning the tables and making things difficult for our Li family."
Quan Jiu, who was specifically told by Master Liu not to speak, couldn't help herself and drank her tea in small sips.
"Mrs. Li, I'm doing this for the good of your Li Yang. I'm unruly, arrogant, and domineering. If I were to marry someone I don't like, I would definitely keep a mistress outside after we get married."
She looked relaxed and made shocking remarks in a calm and nonchalant tone.
Master Liu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
In the tenth year of the Republic of China, many people still retained the polygamy system of the Qing Dynasty. Men could marry several concubines, and there was absolutely no reason for women to have affairs outside.
Mr. Li frowned when he heard this, but even so, he did not agree to cancel the marriage.
"It's said that Miss Liu is well-educated and well-mannered. It's best to say less of such reckless words."
Quan Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This Li family member is really weird. They said she was going to cheat on his son, but they still firmly refused to cancel the engagement. What on earth could they gain from her?
Mrs. Li was obviously not as steady as Mr. Li, and her tone rose:
"Miss Liu, the marriage between our two families is clearly an attempt to marry above your station. If not Li Yang, who else can you marry? No one in Jincheng would dare to pick up a woman my son doesn't want!"
Quan Jiu smiled faintly: "Isn't there still the Si family?"
"laugh."
After hearing her words, Mrs. Li laughed out loud without giving her face, not hiding her contempt at all.
"The Si family, you mean the Third Master of the Si family? You know he hates women the most. Even if Si Jinnian is willing to marry you, with the Liu family's background, you can only be a concubine at best. You can't even think about the position of the main wife."
Si Jinnian is definitely a person that 90% of the women in the entire Jincheng desire but dare not approach.
Quan Jiu thought, a concubine is better.
Si Jinnian has no wife now, so his concubine only needs to go shopping, dress herself up, eat and wait for death every day, and there are men to sleep with her for free. Her life is very comfortable.
