Chapter 40 The Engagement Was Rejected
Jiang Xiazhu ran away, and when she arrived at the door, she immediately saw Xie Xing walking towards her.
"Brother Xie Xing, what brings you here?"
Jiang Xiazhu looked at Xie Xing with a puzzled expression.
He was followed not only by many servants, but also by many boxes.
"Brother Xie Xing, did you come to see my sister today?"
Xie Xing walked up to Jiang Xiazhu and gently patted her head.
Jiang Xiazhu's cheeks flushed slightly.
Xie Xing: "Yes and no. I'm here today to annul the engagement."
"Announcing the engagement!" Jiang Xiazhu exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Xie Xing, are you going to call off your engagement with Sister Jiang He?"
Xie Xing nodded slightly:
"I have always loved Yaoyi. This marriage was arranged by my elders and Grandpa Jiang. If I were to marry Yaoyi, I would be willing. But I have no feelings for Jiang He, so it is impossible for us to get married."
"Brother Xie Xing is right."
While Jiang Xiazhu was happy for Jiang Yaoyi, she also felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
Jiang Yaoyi, who had come to chase after Jiang Xiazhu, overheard their conversation from behind a wall. She looked at Xie Xing's back with joy.
She knew that Xie Xing had feelings for her.
Jiang Yaoyi quietly returned the way she came.
Jiang He, who was still at the family banquet table, couldn't leave. Remembering the marriage agreement that Jiang Xiazhu had mentioned yesterday, Jiang He made a few subtle remarks, and the younger members of the Jiang family at the table, who were about the same age as her, started to speak up.
"The marriage between the eldest son of the Xie family and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was arranged between the Xie family patriarch and grandfather. At that time, both the Xie family and the Jiang family were of the Yellow Rank, had many business dealings, and had a good relationship, so they arranged this betrothal between their children."
"The Xie family has risen to prominence in recent years, transforming from a Yellow Rank family to a Black Rank family, and this marriage agreement still exists."
"Speaking of which, before you came, Jiang He, Yao Yi and Xie Xing were already in love. But don't worry, you are the legitimate daughter, and Xie Xing is now your fiancé."
Jiang He has been in the workforce for quite some time now. Whenever she wants to please someone, she can chat happily with even someone she has only known for a day.
Jiang He chatted enthusiastically with everyone at the table, gradually piecing together the cause and effect of the engagement.
The arranged marriage had always existed, only Xie Xing's fiancée had changed from Jiang Yaoyi to her.
If it weren't for the fact that the Xie family patriarch was still alive, the Xie family elders would have wanted to break off the engagement long ago, as the Xie family always believed that the Jiang family was not good enough for the Xie family.
However, Jiang Yaoyi was exceptionally talented, and given her good relationship with Xie Xing, they didn't make their intentions public.
To outsiders, it appeared that Jiang He had interfered in the relationship between Xie Xing and Jiang Yaoyi.
After listening, Jiang He picked up her teacup and took a sip of water.
This engagement is a huge trap.
Not to mention that she knew Xie Xing was a scumbag, the two families were just different in terms of social standing.
One is a Xuan-rank family, and the other is a Huang-rank family; the difference is huge.
Jiang He didn't know what Jiang Shan was thinking, but the fact that the Jiang family hadn't taken the initiative to cancel the engagement for so many years meant they were probably thinking of using their daughter to gain some benefit.
For Jiang Yaoyi, it was a case of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.
For Jiang He, it was a huge pitfall!
She inexplicably gained a fiancé, and then inexplicably became tied to Xie Xing. The Jiang family was so certain that she was willing to marry into the Xie family.
Ordinary people might think that Jiang He got a good deal.
To be honest, she wouldn't even give Xie Xing, that scumbag, a second glance normally.
Xie Xing had ambiguous relationships with many women, but someone like Jiang He, a "good-for-nothing," was not worth having ambiguous relationships with at all.
Therefore, Jiang He was certain that Xie Xing would come to annul the engagement.
Jiang Yaoyi sat back down, a faint smile on her face.
There was a knock on the Jiang family's door, and Xie Xing stood outside.
At first, the Jiang family thought that guests had arrived, as it was a family banquet today, and all the Jiang family members of high status and position were here.
When the Jiang family members realized that Xie Xing was standing outside the door, some of them first glanced at Jiang Yaoyi, and then looked at Jiang He.
"Isn't this Xie Xing from the Xie family? What brings him here?"
"Xie Xing and Jiang Yaoyi are in love. Is he here to see Jiang Yaoyi or Jiang He?"
Xie Xing met the gazes of the Jiang family members with arrogance, while Jiang Xiazhu followed behind him, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
The show is about to begin.
A twisted smile played on Jiang Xiazhu's lips.
Jiang He offended her, so she would make sure Jiang He lost everything!
Jiang He, that good-for-nothing, how could she be worthy of being Xie Xing's fiancée?
Jiang Xiazhu stood at the back, watching as all the eyes of the Jiang family were focused on Xie Xing.
Xie Xing saw Jiang He as soon as he entered the house.
Xie Xing had never seen Jiang He since they got engaged.
Jiang He was dressed in pure purple, her upturned eyes carrying a faint smile, her long black hair cascading down, making her delicate features even more radiant.
A hint of amazement flashed in Xie Xing's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
I had long heard that Jiang He was stunningly beautiful.
It's a pity, though, that he's a good-for-nothing. No matter how beautiful Jiang He is, Xie Xing would never marry a useless person as his wife.
Xie Xing turned to look at Jiang Yaoyi.
When Jiang Yaoyi noticed Xie Xing's gaze, her eyes were filled with affection.
Anyone with eyes can see that there is affection between the two.
Xie Xing gave Jiang Yaoyi a reassuring look. The current head of the Jiang family is Jiang Shan.
As soon as Jiang Shan appeared, he spoke his mind:
“Uncle Jiang, my marriage to Jiang He was arranged by my grandfather, not by me. Now that many years have passed, this marriage agreement should not be valid.”
"Xie Xing, what do you mean?"
Jiang Shan frowned slightly. He was initially very happy about this marriage, as it would be of great benefit to the Jiang family by allowing them to climb up to the Xuan-rank family level.
Later, as the Xie family grew stronger, Jiang Shan could sense their dissatisfaction with the marriage. Fortunately, Xie Xing and Yao Yi had a good relationship, which did not affect the marriage.
Now that Jiang He has been found, her identity is already widely known, and it's impossible for her to have fooled the Xie family.
With the change of fiancée, Jiang Shan originally didn't want to bring it up, thinking that Jiang He and Xie Xing might develop feelings for each other.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xing would openly say such things at the family banquet today.
Although the Jiang family is no match for the Xie family, today is a family banquet for the Jiang family, and most of the Jiang family members are here.
Xie Xing made it clear that he wanted to break off the engagement.
Jiang Shan looked displeased.
Xie Xing's expression remained unchanged when he saw Jiang Shan. In his view, this marriage was clearly an attempt by the Jiang family to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Xie family.
The Xie family is one of the rising Xuan-rank families in China.
The Jiang family has remained a Yellow Rank family for so many years.
There is absolutely no way the Xie family could have a useless Mrs. Xie.
He's determined to call off the engagement!
