However, Li Muyao soon found a reasonable explanation. If it was because of Huo Jiling’s accidental death, then it was because Huo Jiling had died. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law who loved their younger brother, it was normal for them to lose weight.
But why did Huo Jiling pass away?
Li Muyao thought about it and gave up in the end. According to her calculations, there were still a few years before the Huo Family’s eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the Huo Family to cancel the engagement.
Moreover, now that she had taken the initiative to cancel the betrothal in advance, did that mean that she had avoided the same thing from happening?
“Mooncake, what are you thinking about? Are you angry? Mei Yuehua is sister-in-law’s cousin and our former neighbor. Later, I met her overseas. She asked me to take care of Mei Yuehua, but I have to study and start my business at the same time. I don’t have much time to meet her, so I usually leave Mei Yuehua to the Chinese nanny.
In the past, I could still treat her as a sister. After today, I won’t have such a neighbor sister. She’s too mischievous and brainless.”Huo Jiling never thought that he would one day badmouth his neighbor’s sister in order to please another woman.
No, it wasn’t bad words, but the truth.
In the future, Huo Jiling would not give face to anyone. He knew what these women were thinking.
“That’s your own business. It has nothing to do with me. How far away is your house?” Li Muyao liked gossip, but she wasn’t interested in gossip about Huo Jiling’s family or himself.
She only hoped that in the future, their relationship would be that of a
beautician and a client.
After all, Li Muyao wouldn’t deny everything Huo Jiling had done for his beautiful hands.
Soon, they arrived at the Hunts ‘old mansion. It was very domineering. One look and one could tell that only powerful people could live there.
In her previous life, Li Muyao had only seen this type of house on television. Ordinary people couldn’t enter it.
“Go in, Grandma. Mooncake and I are here.”
If Huo Jiling didn’t have his hands full of things, he would have held Li Muyao’s little hands and entered the room. Huo Jiling could clearly feel it after Mei Yuehua’s ruckus. The gap that had already been somewhat removed was remade. His distant tone and business-like attitude.
“It’s good that you’re here. Yaoyao, I’m your Grandma Huo. Come and sit down for Grandma Huo.”Ruan Feng held her walking stick with one hand and waved at Li Muyao, who was standing at the door with the other. The old lady’s smile was very friendly, completely different from what Li Muyao had imagined. She was skinny and small, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
“Hello, Grandma Huo. I’m Li Dajian’s daughter, Li Muyao.”
However, she still followed the old lady’s wishes and walked over to sit beside her.
“Aiya, we’re all family. Don’t be so distant. I have a very good relationship with your father. If something hadn’t happened to our family five years ago, we wouldn’t have been able to take care of your father… I’ve let your father down. Yaoyao, Grandma knows that you came to look for Grandma today.
Since Yaoyao doesn’t like my brat, Ling, so be it.
You can cancel the engagement, but you have to accept the compensation in the marriage contract that your father and I wrote together. If Yaoyao doesn’t accept it, Grandma will feel uneasy.
This is what Grandma promised your father. Yaoyao can’t let Grandma be a dishonest person.”
Ruan Feng’s eyes reddened at the mention of Li Dajian. She patted Li Muyao’s hand gently and looked at Li Muyao carefully.”The last time I saw Yaoyao, she was still a little cutie. Now, she has become a big cutie.
It’s true that our Ling doesn’t have such good fortune. Don’t worry, I won’t blame you if you cancel the engagement.”
Li Muyao was shocked by Old Mrs. Huo’s words. Even though she had heard from Huo Jiling that his grandmother was a very kind and easy-going old lady, she didn’t know that she was actually so easy-going.
Li Muyao suppressed all her doubts. After all, breaking off the engagement was the most important thing at this moment.
“Grandma Huo, this is the token that you and Dad gave our family when you wrote the marriage contract. Take a look. Is it the original pair of jade bracelets?”Li Muyao opened the sandalwood box she had been carrying all the way and placed it in front of Grandma Huo.
Ruan Yu looked at the first floor and nodded.” Yes, this is the right pair.” Ling, go to my room and take out that silver lock and return it to Yaoyao.””Her words, Huo, Ji, Ling, still pause for half a second, then go to grandma’s room, take out the silver lock that has long been on the table, wrapped in wool cloth, some lost, some. Huo Jiling had never felt any other emotions.
Huo Jiling had always felt that Grandma was very close to his Li Muyao. When he agreed to let Li Muyao come to his house to talk to Grandma, she would definitely persuade Li Muyao to continue the betrothal just like how she persuaded him to return to China.
However, almost as soon as Li Muyao entered the house, Huo Jiling heard his grandmother agree to break off the engagement and exchange the tokens of both families, as well as the check that Li Muyao refused to compensate the Huo Family for her gift money.
The whole process was so smooth that Grandma didn’t even say anything to persuade Huo Jiling to stay or praise him.
For a moment, Huo Jiling suspected that he wasn’t Grandma’s biological grandson and that Li Muyao was her real granddaughter.
“Alright, the token has already been exchanged and returned. Then, this old woman will tear this marriage contract. I was the one who wrote it back then. Now that I’m the one tearing it, it can be considered as having an end.”
The marriage contract in Ruan Feng’s hand was shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye when Li Muyao nodded and threw into the trash can that the servant had brought over.
From the moment she entered the Huo family’s old mansion and saw Grandma Huo until the marriage contract was torn apart, Li Muyao really couldn’t describe how she felt at this moment. Was she happy? After all, this was Huo Jiling’s obsession since he appeared in front of her. Of course, part of this obsession was related to Li Muyao’s three views since she was young.
Others said that marriage was about matching social status, and it was similar to being friends.
It was very difficult for two people with such a huge difference in social class to play together and play for a long time.
Now that things were going exceptionally smoothly, Li Muyao felt that something was missing.
Li Muyao opened her mouth and paused for a few seconds before asking Ruan Feng, who had been smiling at her,””Grandma Huo, you didn’t even ask me why I wanted to break off the engagement with Huo Jiling. You agreed to it so easily and even tore the marriage contract.
Grandma Huo, did you expect me to do this?
Huo Jiling said that you’re a master of metaphysics, so you must have known that I would come to Jin City after Huo Jiling found me, right?
