Chapter 884: Chapter 684: Annulment of the Engagement (Part 2)
Yue Tingyu was startled, and quickly walked over: "Luo Guohui! This tea set was bought for you by Qianqian!"
Old Master Luo pointed at Old Master Jimo across from him with an angry expression: "This old man said he wants to annul Qianqian’s engagement!"
Hearing Old Master Luo’s words, Yue Tingyu was also filled with surprise, looking incredulously at Jimo Kong.
Jimo Kong gave a bitter smile; if possible, he didn’t want this either. After all, Luo Qianqian was very dear to him, but... but.
If they stayed, Luo Qianqian would be in a passive position. It might as well be freeing to annul this engagement. The children are still young, and they can go after her again in the future. He had some confidence in his grandson.
"Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, please don’t be angry." Casually slipping the photo of a smiling girl on the table into his pocket, Jimo Cheng walked over to the three elders: "I assure you both, I’ve done nothing to wrong Qianqian... It’s just, some things are beyond control." He looked bitterly at Old Master Jimo.
Old Master Luo seemed completely unaware, making it really hard for them to reveal the truth. Clearly, Luo Qianqian didn’t want the family to know, so she didn’t disclose anything.
"I agreed." Luo Xihan pushed the door open and walked in.
Luo Guohui looked angrily at his second son: "What do you mean you agreed? When adults talk, kids should stay out!"
"Dad, this is what Luo Xiying asked me to say." Luo Xihan’s face was full of helplessness; who knew what he felt when he received that poor-signal phone call?
"Old Fourth?" Luo Guohui was taken aback.
"Luo Xiying asked me to tell you." Luo Xihan looked at Jimo Cheng: "Some things, one’s own efforts are more important than the family’s background."
Jimo Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"And..." Luo Xihan scratched his head awkwardly: "He said he hopes you write an apology letter to Qianqian."
Jimo Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded. A trace of melancholy passed over his face. He originally wanted to do this but was afraid Old Master Luo would not agree.
Old Master Luo saw the genuine expression on Luo Xihan’s face and frowned deeply.
If it were someone else, he would just kick them out, but this was a message from his youngest son...
Taking the paper and pen handed over by Yue Tingyu, Jimo Cheng began writing at the dining table, surprising all the adults.
At this moment, Luo Guohui also calmed down a bit, looking at Jimo Kong: "What exactly happened?"
"The two of us, grandfather and grandson, won’t be part of the Jimo family anymore." Jimo Kong looked at Luo Guohui’s face and smiled bitterly: "For her own good, we are leaving tonight."
Luo Guohui was stunned, a tremor shook his heart, but he nodded without further questioning.
Jimo Kong took out a cloth package from his pocket: "As my student, I haven’t taught her anything. Please give this to Qianqian on my behalf." He didn’t call her by her full name, a tacit understanding between grandfather and grandson.
Old Master Luo was stunned for a moment before taking it, nodding heavily: "You take care as well, contact me if you need anything."
"Don’t worry." Old Master Jimo laughed heartily, a tinge of sadness on his face: "I thought I’d settle here and never leave again, but it turns out that in just over a month, I have to leave again."
He took off the jade pendant he always wore at his waist and put it in Old Master Luo’s hand: "This is the Steward’s Token of Han Moxuan, give it to Qianqian."
Han Moxuan is Old Master Jimo’s property, not associated with Mo Studio or the Jimo family.
It’s only protected because of his surname, Jimo.
Looking at the token, Old Master Luo found himself at a loss for words.
He felt as if Old Master Jimo was giving a last testament at that moment.
"Grandpa, and Senior Brother, don’t put all the burden on her." After sealing the letter in an envelope, Jimo Cheng handed it to Yue Tingyu.
"What’s it to you?" Old Master Jimo rolled his eyes and continued to instruct Old Master Luo: "Let Qianqian manage it with Jin Yang."
Old Master Luo nodded but had already decided to hand everything over to Fang Youyuan.
"Then it’s settled. The engagement between Jimo Cheng and Luo Qianqian is annulled." Old Master Jimo said with a bitter smile.
Old Master Luo was silent for a long time before nodding.
Receiving a signal from Old Master Luo, Yue Tingyu went upstairs and took out a box, which contained the jade bracelet that Old Master Jimo had given to Luo Qianqian.
Accepting the jade bracelet, Old Master Jimo laughed: "I won’t give back the Chengxin Tang paper. Don’t come chasing after me for it."
He laughed until tears filled his eyes.
"Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, Second Uncle Luo, my grandfather and I will take our leave now." Watching his grandfather head towards the door, Jimo Cheng carefully looked around this house, then bowed to the three people before turning to leave without looking back.
"Does this child really like Qianqian?" Yue Tingyu remarked at his retreating figure.
"He’s a good boy." Looking at the envelope in Yue Tingyu’s hand, Old Master Luo sighed, waved his hand: "We’ll give it to Qianqian when she returns."
Then he glared at Luo Xiying: "You, get into the study now!"
Luo Xihan smirked bitterly, then obediently went into the study.
As soon as Jimo Cheng got into the car, he lowered his head, pulling out the photo from his pocket: "Grandpa, do we really have to leave?"
Jimo Kong sighed deeply and said nothing.
"Jin Nian, something’s chasing us from behind." While driving, Jimo Kong saw a blur rapidly approaching from the rear-view mirror, and he paused, slowly pulling over.
Unlike before, they dared not casually find someone to drive for them.
Jimo Cheng paused, opened the car door just as a white fluffy creature jumped onto the car door, barking at him: "Woof!"
"Baozi?" Jimo Cheng was stunned, looking behind to see no one chasing after, he hesitated for a long time, then closed the car door: "Grandpa, let’s go."
Letting Baozi lie obediently on his lap.
Jimo Kong sighed deeply: "Give Grandpa Luo a call."
"Okay." Jimo Cheng picked up the phone, first sending a message to Luo Qianqian followed by a call, as expected, it couldn’t get through. Then he called the Luo family.
Upon hearing that Baozi had followed them, Yue Tingyu was stunned, but hearing Jimo Cheng’s tone clearly decided on taking it, she didn’t stop him.
They would discuss it properly upon return, after all, Baozi rarely saw Luo Qianqian at home.
It was just that Baozi had been given by Qin Nuan, which might not be so easy to explain.
When the grandfather and grandson reached the airport, they were surprised to find all their cards frozen.
Looking at the familiar card in his wallet, Jimo Cheng hesitated for a long time, then used the bank card that originally belonged to Luo Qianqian to buy tickets and check in luggage.
Sitting by the window of the plane, looking out at the familiar sky, he merely smiled softly, murmuring: "Goodbye, my girl."
Touching the card in his hand, as the plane flew into the blue sky and white clouds...
