Not long after Xu Yike returned home, her mother brought good news, saying that He Kangyu was very satisfied with her. The two parents discussed and decided to get engaged first.

Xu Yike couldn't sleep that night. She was very confused. Thinking back to the scene in the hospital, she always felt that Su Jinyao was a little strange. At that time, was he planning to kiss her?

She didn't know what Su Jinyao meant, but she was sure that he didn't like her. He even thought she was casual.

Since she is so "casual", of course I can kiss her casually.

That's why he behaved so strangely.

On the day of engagement, Su Jinyao suddenly showed up.

The engagement party was about to begin. When Xu Yike saw Su Jinyao for the first time, she was a little confused.

Before she could react, Su Jinyao quickly stepped forward and pulled her away without saying a word.

Su Jinyao took her to a deserted corner.

"Brother Su San, what are you doing? I'm getting engaged soon." Xu Yike finally came to his senses and asked with a frown.

Su Jinyao stared at her closely, "Xu Yike, is this marriage really necessary?"

Xu Yike turned her head slightly, avoiding Su Jinyao's fiery and sharp gaze. Her heart was actually far from as calm as she appeared on the surface, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Everything is ready. Both parents are here. Of course we have to get engaged."

Su Jinyao continued to ask: "What about you, do you really want to get engaged to him?"

Xu Yike frowned slightly: "This is my own decision, Brother Su San, you have no right to interfere. Besides, He Kangyu is a very good person. He treats me very well. I believe I will be happy with him."

Su Jinyao couldn't help but sneer when he heard her answer: "Do you really think so?"

Xu Yike's heart tightened at his reaction. She looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Jinyao raised his eyebrows, then grabbed her hand and said, "I'm going to take you to see something."

Xu Yike was a little angry: "Su Jinyao, where are you taking me? Don't be like this, I'm getting engaged."

Su Jinyao snorted and laughed: "Are you so casual about getting engaged? You don't even know what kind of person the man is."

Xu Yike retorted: "I think he's a good guy. What's wrong with me getting engaged to him?"

However, just as they finished speaking, the two of them arrived at the door of a box.

Su Jinyao pushed open the door and pulled Xu Yike in. Xu Yike's voice stopped abruptly because she saw He Kangyu sitting in the private room next door through the bright glass wall.

She suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Su Jinyao looked at her, released her hand, and explained softly: "Don't worry, this glass is one-way. We can see them, but they can't see us, and the sound is also..."

He paused, then continued, "I installed a monitoring device in advance, so I can hear the voices next door."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yike subconsciously glanced at Su Jinyao, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with his sneaky behavior, but at this moment her attention was more attracted by He Kangyu.

He was chatting leisurely with a friend, sitting casually with his legs crossed. His appearance was completely different from the immature and cautious look he had when he was in front of her.

He Kangyu's voice was clearly transmitted to Xu Yike's ears through the monitor.

"She is a daughter of a wealthy family. The Xu family has a strong financial background. Marrying her is a good choice for me. Moreover, she is an uneducated and unskillful daughter. She has no special abilities. It is a blessing for her to marry me."

Xu Yike's face turned pale in an instant.

She never thought that the humble and polite He Kangyu would say such words behind her back.

He Kangyu's friend smiled and toasted him a glass of wine, jokingly saying, "You are really capable. You easily won the eldest daughter of the Xu family."

He Kangyu clinked glasses with his friend and chuckled, "Mr. Xu will definitely leave the Xu family to me in the future. I can just expand the company."

"Then I wish you success in advance."

He Kangyu smiled and said, "It's almost time. I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go to the engagement party. I still have to coax that rich girl later."

Xu Yike clenched his hands into fists. "You let me see this on purpose, didn't you?"

Su Jinyao nodded slightly and admitted frankly: "Yes, I just want you to see his true face. This is the good person you mentioned. He is not as perfect as you think."

It is true that He Kangyu started from scratch, but he is a very cunning and selfish egoist. He puts profit first in everything he does, including marrying Xu Yike, because the Xu family is rich.

In addition, Xu Yike's not very smart appearance makes him easy to control, and the Xu family's connections and resources can be used by him in the future.

Xu Yike took a deep breath. She was never the type to be depressed. After hearing this, she angrily went to the next room.

Over there, He Kangyu was about to leave when Xu Yike suddenly pushed the door and walked in.

He Kangyu was stunned for a moment, "Keke, why are you here?"

Without saying a word, Xu Yike picked up a bottle of wine on the table and violently poured it on He Kangyu, splashing him from head to toe. "He Kangyu, I want to cancel our engagement!"

He Kangyu stood there blankly, his face bewildered. The wine continued to flow down his hair and cheeks, soaking his originally straight clothes. "Keke, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly saying something like that?"

Xu Yike said angrily, "I heard everything you said just now. You married me because the Xu family is rich and you were attracted by my status, but also because I'm an uneducated fool, so you can control me better."

Seeing that he had been exposed, He Kangyu simply stopped pretending and instead acted calm and unhurried.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt as he sneered, "Am I not telling the truth? Without me, do you think you can support the Xu family? To put it bluntly, your father saw my ability. The Xu family has no successor, so he can only hand it over to me. I will manage the Xu family company for you, and you can continue to live your life as a young lady. We can be together and each get what we need. Isn't it great?"

When Xu Yike heard his shameless words, she felt her blood boiling and she was shaking with anger.

She cursed: "He Kangyu, you scumbag, get out of here! My Xu family members are still alive, and I don't need you to help me manage the Xu family company!"

After saying that, Xu Yike didn't want to look at He Kangyu anymore, turned around and ran away angrily.

He Kangyu's friend glanced at him and gently advised: "Kangyu, aren't you going to chase her?"

He Kangyu sneered and said conceitedly: "Let her do what she wants. This kind of eldest lady's temper should not be indulged. Don't worry, she will come back. Apart from me, she has no better choice."
