Chapter 93: Breaking off the Engagement
Shen You gave a mysterious grin. “I can tell you where Zhao Pu is, but we have to break off this engagement.”
Zhao Nan gritted his teeth and looked at Shen You. “You’re threatening me!”
Shen You revealed a sweet smile. “Then, do you want to accept the threat?”
Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and restrained himself from strangling her.
Zhao Nan took a deep breath and said, “Alright! Tell me!”
A victorious smile appeared on Shen You’s face as she winked at Xie Xiao who was beside her.
Xie Xiao also had a smile on her face. He was genuinely happy for Shen You’s release.
“Zhao Pu’s disappearance is related to a person. I think you should know about it!” Shen You said as she looked at Zhao Nan.
Zhao Pu was Zhao Nan’s eldest brother. He was the one who had took care of Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan’s parents had been busy with business and had no time to take care of their children.
Zhao Pu was seven years older than Zhao Nan. He had brought up his younger brother since he was young. It could be said that Zhao Pu was Zhao Nan’s greatest reliance and the person Zhao Nan trusted the most.
However, three years ago, Zhao Pu suddenly disappeared and there was no news of him since then. Shen You was actually not sure that if this person was related to Zhao Pu’s disappearance.
She only remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Pu had returned when he was already 30 years old.
At that time, he had returned from the United States with a little girl who was four or five years old. It was said that he had lived in a small village in the United States until his wife died.
Shen You remembered the name of the small village and that Zhao Pu was a person who looked very bright and warm.
When Zhao Nan heard Shen You’s words, his expression changed again and again. “You’re saying that he left with that person?”
Zhao Nan’s questioning made Shen You a little nervous. She summarized the information in her memory.
Zhao Nan stared at Shen You without blinking.
He seemed to have an answer in his heart. Shen You was not sure about that answer.
Shen You pondered for a moment and decided to trust her inner judgment. “No! He left alone!”
Hearing Shen You’s words, the way Zhao Nan looked at her changed instantly.
“Do you really know where he is?” Zhao Nan grabbed Shen You’s hand and asked.
Now Shen You knew that she had guessed correctly!
However, she had another question. “You know where the person who told him to leave is, right?”
Zhao Nan’s expression became a little ugly. His gaze swept in Xie Xiao’s direction, but he remained silent.
Shen You knew that she had no way of getting information from him.
Shen You took a deep breath and said, “Since you want to know where Zhao Pu is, I can tell you. But I have one condition.”
“I have already promised you to break off the engagement.” Zhao Nan looked at Shen You with a slightly impatient gaze.
“I think Uncle Zhao is also very interested in Zhao Pu’s news,” Shen You said slowly.
Sure enough, Zhao Nan’s expression darkened slightly. “Alright! Speak!”
“I think you know about the Shen family’s current crisis.” Shen You looked at Zhao Nan seriously.
“I hope you can discuss it with Uncle Zhao and help the Shen family overcome this crisis,” Shen You said solemnly.
“Why? Do you care about the Shen family?” The corner of Zhao Nan’s mouth lifted slightly as he looked at Shen You.
Shen You’s expression did not change as she shook her head. “No! I just want to live in peace.”
“I don’t want them to harass me again!” Shen You tried her best to remain calm.
Xie Xiao walked forward and patted Shen You’s back gently. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You’s depressed look and his heart suddenly ached.
“Did the Shen family force you to get engaged again?” Zhao Nan asked tentatively.
“Didn’t Shen Jiao get engaged to Chen Shen to solve this crisis?” Zhao Nan asked uncertainly.
“Don’t talk about that disgusting guy!” Xie Xiao finally couldn’t help but speak up.
“She said that she would give everything for the Shen family!” Xie Xiao said fiercely, “In the end, she only delayed the Shen family’s time to save themselves and threw everything back to Xiao You!”
“This afternoon, that mother and daughter came to the hospital and forced Xiao You to talk about the engagement with you!” The more Xie Xiao said, the angrier she became.
“I’ve never seen such a shameless person!” Xie Xiao gnashed her teeth and said.
“She was clearly the one who messed up everything, but she wanted to throw the responsibility onto Xiao You!” Xie Xiao put her hands on Shen You’s shoulders.
Shen You patted Xie Xiao’s hands and said, “It’s okay! After this matter is resolved, I have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore!”
Looking at Shen You’s determined expression, Zhao Nan had a feeling that he was getting further and further away from Shen You.
