1322 Going Against Each Other
“Sister Jiang Rou, what are you talking about?” Chu Jie looked at Jiang Rou in disbelief. “Who else can Mr. Mo Long’s fiancée be if not me? The news of the arranged marriage has already been released, so I’m his only fiancée!”
“No, his fiancée isn’t you. It’s a woman named Jiang Yu.” Jiang Rou said, “I’m not lying to you about this. If you get someone to investigate, you’ll get the same result.”
“No… It’s impossible!” Chu Jie lost control and roared, “this is absolutely impossible! Now that everyone knows about the arranged marriage, you’re telling me that I’m not his fiancée?”
“I know that this is hard for you to accept.” Jiang Rou patted Chu Jie’s shoulder and consoled her, “But this matter was also a variable that no one could have expected. If you’re really going to marry him, it’ll be bad for your reputation.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Chu Jie retorted, “the news of the marriage alliance is public. Everyone knows about it. Then my identity will be recognized by the public!”
“This is simply nonsense!” Old master Chu bellowed, “are you sure that this man is the only one you’ll ever have? You’re my Chu family’s daughter, and many men dream of marrying you. Why must you be so persistent about this Mo Long?”
“Grandpa, this is different.” Chu Jie’s eyes reddened. “This is the first time I’ve been so moved by a man. Furthermore, you were the one who suggested the marriage between the Chu and Mo families. Why did you cancel the marriage just like that? Grandpa, I’m the one getting married. You should at least ask for my opinion, right?”
“I’m asking you for your opinion.” Old master Chu was so angry that he had difficulty breathing. “What’s the point of me asking you? Aren’t you still dead set on marrying Mo Long? Is there any use in me asking you?”
“Then you should have asked for my opinion!” Chu Jie’s emotions were also a little out of control. “How can you cancel the marriage just like that? Then wouldn’t my many days of anticipation have been in vain?”
“You still dare to have high hopes?” Old master Chu was so angry that he was panting. “No matter what your thoughts are, this marriage is canceled if I say so. Grandfather will help you find a man more outstanding than Black Dragon. You should also use this time to quickly forget him.”
“I don’t want to!” I don’t want to marry another man! Chu Jie roared.
“Have I been spoiling you too much recently?” Old master Chu slammed his large hand on the table, making a deafening sound. “You still dare to shout at me? You still dare to disobey my words?”
Chu Jie paused and looked at old master Chu. She knew that he was really angry this time.
However, she didn’t want to call off the engagement at all. She had lived for so many years, but this was the first time she was so moved by a man. If she were to give up now, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Hence, she braced herself and said, “I don’t agree to cancel the engagement! Grandpa, no matter what you say to me, I will never agree! I’ve never asked you for anything since I was young, but this is the only thing I’m begging you for. Grandpa, don’t cancel the engagement!”
“You’re getting more and more unruly, do you want me to discipline you?” Old master Chu reprimanded, “Jiang Rou, bring the family law here!”
The Chu clan’s punishment was a barbed vine. It was dipped in salt water and whipped on the body, causing excruciating pain.
Chu Jie’s heart skipped a beat. She did not expect old master Chu to really punish her with the Family Law. However, she had already prepared herself mentally. No matter how badly she was beaten up today, she would never give in to the marriage.
Jiang Rou saw that things were getting out of control and tried to stop him. “Second Grandpa, Chu Jie is still young. Her body won’t be able to take it if you hit her with that thing. How about this, please give me some time, I’ll try to persuade her. ”
Jiang Rou looked at Chu Jie and reached out to place her hand on her shoulder. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Jie shook off Jiang Rou’s hand and roared, “Don’t touch me! Did you say something to my grandfather? That’s why my grandfather called off the engagement! I’m telling you, I don’t agree! Regardless of whether Mr. Mo Long has a fiancée or not, she’s the only man I’ll marry in my life!”
After she finished speaking, she slammed the door and stormed out.
“You see, just how much of a bastard she is!” Old master Chu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. “She still thinks that we’re trying to harm her! What kind of magic potion did that Mo Long give her to make her so infatuated?”
