C11 It Was Me Who Broke off the Engagement
When the people of the Lau family saw Lau Changxiong's expression change, their eyes were filled with anger. They no longer spoke. After all, Lau Changxiong was the patriarch, so his words held a lot of weight.
Although Lau Changba was not convinced, he could not contradict Lau Changxiong in front of outsiders. That would only make the outsiders laugh at him. In the end, he only looked at Lau Yiheng with a sharp gaze, then retracted his gaze and lowered his head without saying anything.
The entire hall became silent, and the anger became a bit heavy and awkward.
At this time, Qin Louxue suddenly stood out and said, "Patriarch Lau, I want to ask you, why do I have to marry that trash, Lau Yiheng, just because of my father's words? Isn't this too unfair to me? I remember that we were just born not long ago, right?"
Qin Tianxing did not expect that at this time, his own girl would suddenly stand out. However, he did not stop Qin Louxue from speaking. He only looked at Lau Changxiong with a faint gaze. Because Qin Louxue was just a child, even if Lau Changxiong was strong, he could not be too serious with a child, right?
Sure enough, Lau Changxiong only said indifferently, "Yes, this is also a matter between two families. It has been approved by the two families. Also, you said that it's unfair, then tell me what kind of fairness you want in this situation?"
"But to let me marry a piece of trash, this is unfair. It is not difficult for someone else to marry the Lau family, but why is the Patriarch not willing to change his mind? Could it be that the Lau family is relying on their strength to oppress our Qin family?" Qin Louxue said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Lau Changxiong had long known that this girl was not bad. Her talent was very high, and she was intelligent. She was calm when doing things, and ordinary boys were not as good as her. It was because of this that he did not want to give up. If this girl was with Yiheng, then Yiheng might not be bullied. This was Lau Changxiong's goal. As for the relationship between the two families, he did not want to destroy it, but if the Qin family did too much, then he did not mind breaking off relations with the Qin family.
Therefore, Lau Changxiong said indifferently, "When we were engaged, your parents also agreed. We also held the engagement ceremony. This is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. You have no right to refuse."
Qin Louxue said indifferently, "But I want to make the decision for my own fate, so I want to break off the engagement with Lau Yiheng. This is an objection to this unfair engagement, not a refusal to the Lau family."
After saying this, Qin Louxue paused for a moment and then said, "Patriarch Lau, you should also take a good look at Lau Yiheng. Look at him. Is he really suitable to be with me?" After saying that, she pointed at Lau Yiheng, who was standing at the side.
Lau Changxiong also looked over. When he saw Lau Yiheng, his eyes darkened, and he sighed in his heart. He secretly said, "Yiheng is good in everything, especially his state of mind and character. If he can cultivate... Then..."
When he thought of this, he suddenly saw a special light in Lau Yiheng's eyes. It was a light of confidence, wisdom, and sharpness. This was something that could never appear in Lau Yiheng's eyes in the past.
Then, he saw Lau Yiheng nod his head as if he was saying, "Eldest Uncle, leave it to me. I can deal with it."
Actually, Lau Changxiong was also under a lot of pressure now, especially because of Lau Yiheng's matter. The family had indeed paid a lot for Lau Yiheng. This had already made many elders and Top dissatisfied. If this matter was not handled well today, if they were to fall out with the Qin family, then the elders and Top would have a greater opinion of him. They might even have disagreements. This was very unfavorable for the development of the family.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "Yiheng, what do you think of this matter? If you don't agree, then even if that girl is dead, she will still be your wife."
Lau Yiheng had not spoken for a long time. He just wanted to see what kind of reaction the people of the family would have. However, when he saw that Eldest Uncle did not hesitate to suppress the Top and the elders of the Lau family and even cut off relations with the Qin family for him, he felt warm in his heart. However, he also knew the pressure that Eldest Uncle was under at the moment, so he did not want to put his eldest uncle in danger. That was why he gave Lau Changxiong a look.
Now that he had obtained permission, he immediately stood out and said, "Eldest Uncle, there's no need for that. I, Lau Yiheng, am not so desperate to marry Qin Louxue. She isn't that outstanding."
"Lau Yiheng, thank you for your evaluation of me. It is very fair. I also think so. Then, you agree, right?" Qin Louxue said lightly.
Lau Yiheng shook his head and said, "You are wrong. How could I agree to your unreasonable request?"
"You … Lau Yiheng, what do you mean?" Qin Louxue said angrily.
"You don't have to be angry. I will definitely satisfy your wish, but it is not that you want to cancel the engagement, but that I want to cancel it."
When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all stunned. They did not expect Lau Yiheng to say such a thing. Who was Qin Louxue? She was one of the four great beauties of the Light Spirit City, and her talent was extremely high. There were countless young men who wanted to woo her, but Lau Yiheng actually took the initiative to give up. How could they not be surprised?
