C10 Who Cares about You!

Who cares about you!

Cancel the engagement?

Suddenly, a memory of the Xiao Family and the Duanmu Family emerged in Xiao Chunyang's mind.

Forty years ago, the master of the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhenshan's father. Xiao Chunyang's grandfather used to have a good relationship with the master of the Duanmu Family. Although the relationship between the two families had been good for many years, the relationship between the two masters... It could even be compared to the time when Xiao Family's Patriarch was still a disciple of ___.

At that time, the two family heads wanted to make the relationship between the two families even closer, so they had a very melodramatic agreement.

That was, if the children of both families were male, then they would become brothers of the opposite gender. If they were both women, then they would become sisters of the Golden Orchid. If the children of both parties were male and female, then they would naturally become husband and wife.

However, the world was unpredictable. Not long after, Xiao Chunyang's grandfather met with an accident and died. At that time, Xiao Zhenshan was still in Xiao Chunyang's grandmother's womb, just less than five months ago.

This incident could be said to have caused the gradual decline of the Xiao Family. As for the Duanmu Family, after that incident, there was a subtle change in their attitude.

However, the old man of the Duanmu Family was a man of character. For so many years, he had wanted to maintain a good relationship between the two families. However, in the entire Duanmu Family, there weren't many people who had such thoughts. In fact, he was the only one!

Half a year later, Xiao Zhenshan was born, and the eldest son of the old master of Duanmu Family was also born. According to the agreement, the eldest sons of the two families were going to be brothers of the opposite sex.

Although the agreement was still completed in the end, the next generation of the two families was not as harmonious as the old patriarch of the Duanmu Family had expected.

At the same time, because the old master of the Xiao family left early, he did not have the time to teach Xiao Zhenshan, his son. This caused the Xiao Family to become weaker and weaker. On the other hand, the Duanmu Family had become stronger and stronger over the past few decades. The entire family had developed to its peak.

"Does Uncle Duanmu know about this matter?"

There was no trace of a smile on Xiao Zhenshan's face. His expression was very cold. His gaze was so sharp that no one could look at him directly. Duanmu Yunrou was originally able to look at him face to face confidently, but at this moment, she suddenly turned her gaze away. Her tone was even more ambiguous.

"This matter has nothing to do with grandfather. This is my own matter!"

When these words came out, even Xiao Chunyang, who felt very innocent and was an outsider, could tell that this girl must have secretly made this decision behind the Duanmu old man's back.

What audacity! Xiao Chunyang even wanted to praise her face to face! One should know that Illusionary Soul Continent was still a relatively conservative semi-feudal society, a semi-slave society. In this continent, the elders and parents' requests, the younger generation's children had to obey!

This was even more so for some large families!

"This matter was decided by Uncle Duanmu and my father. If my niece wants to cancel the engagement, then I'll ask the Duanmu Family. Old Master Duanmu spoke in person! If he says so himself, my Xiao Family will definitely not say anything! Immediately cancel the engagement! "

Xiao Zhenshan's voice became louder and louder as he spoke. One could even hear the excitement in his voice.

Xiao Chunyang's expression also gradually became cold as he stood by the side.

Through the memories of Second Young Master of Xiao Family in his mind, one could know that the old master of Duanmu Family had never forgotten his old relationship. When Xiao Litian was born in the third generation of the Xiao Family, he had mentioned the promise he made in the past. However, at that time, Xiao Zhenshan thought that the Xiao Family could no longer be compared to the Duanmu Family. Therefore, he rejected it with a straight face.

In fact, this was a good decision for everyone, but the Duanmu old man was a stubborn old man. A few years later, when Xiao Zhenshan's second son was born, he mentioned it again. Furthermore, his attitude was firm. If the Xiao Family still refused, it would mean that they looked down on the Duanmu Family. They would look down on him! If that was the case, he would cut off all ties with them!

Xiao Zhenshan had no choice but to agree to this matter. However, judging from the result, the marriage between the two families was beneficial to the Xiao Family. Xiao Zhenshan was quite happy about this in secret.

But what was the meaning of this now?

Cancel the engagement?

He actually proposed to cancel the engagement?!

Although the current Xiao Chunyang was not the Xiao Chunyang of the past, he was not even interested in this arranged marriage. He was even against it! However, this did not mean that the Duanmu Family could come looking for him and propose to cancel the engagement!

"Uncle Xiao! Was this matter really going to cause a huge ruckus? Can't we just settle this matter peacefully and peacefully, and cause a conflict between the two families? "

Duanmu Yunrou's small face was flushed red, and her tone was also slightly fierce. She did not care about the people present, as she was merely a junior.

"Brother Duanmu, you also have the same intention? Or is this the meaning of the Duanmu Family?"

At this moment, the only trace of hope in Xiao Zhenshan's heart faded away. He looked coldly at Duanmu Bote, who had an awkward expression on his face.

"Brother Xiao, this matter... I think you should know about it. It was only the old man's wishful thinking that led to the arranged marriage. At that time, everyone followed the old man's character and agreed verbally. Now that both parties have grown up, I think this matter..."

After saying that, Duanmu Bote's face turned red. He even felt that his words were extremely shameless! However, when he looked at his niece's expression, he couldn't help but say that it was extremely embarrassing.

"Bullsh * t!"

Xiao Zhenshan suddenly cursed. Under everyone's surprised eyes, this man who had always been rough finally stopped hiding his true nature.

"Brother Xiao!" Duanmu Bote called out awkwardly.

"Uncle Xiao, your niece is a junior. She shouldn't have spoken here, but your niece is bold. Today, I will explain everything to you!"

Duanmu Yunrou's eyes were resolute. After seeing her uncle's guilty attitude, she finally decided to explain it to him.

Her eyes swept across the silent Xiao Chunyang who was standing beside Xiao Zhenshan. A look of disdain and disgust flashed across her eyes. She casually said, "My niece has also heard about what happened back then from the elders of the family. When I heard that my grandfather had requested to marry me, Uncle Desolate had rejected it in the first place. However, later on, Grandpa mentioned it and even threatened to cut ties with the two families if he refused. Only then did Uncle Xiao reluctantly agree. Is that so? "

Xiao Zhenshan was silent for a moment, then he nodded, "Yes! It is indeed true."

"Alright, since Uncle Xiao wasn't willing to facilitate this from the beginning, then... It was just that his grandfather was still thinking about the unreasonable feelings he had back then, so this engagement was originally unilateral. It was Grandfather's own wishful thinking. At that time, Uncle Xiao only agreed because of the friendship between the two families and did not want any cracks to appear on their relationship. Why don't you be a little more straightforward now? "

"Of course, Uncle Xiao doesn't have to worry about the mood on Grandpa's side. After this matter is settled here, his grandfather's side will be handled by his niece alone! At that time, the Xiao Family will definitely not be in trouble! Furthermore, the Duanmu Family and the Xiao Family would still be brothers from now on. Never change!"

After saying so much, Duanmu Yunrou paused for a moment and asked again, "Uncle, what do you think?"

Xiao Zhenshan's expression was very ugly. Although Duanmu Yunrou's words were reasonable and at the same time guaranteed that it would not affect the relationship between the two families, it was such a simple matter.

"I don't agree!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chunyang, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted. For a moment, everyone present looked at him. Among them, Duanmu Yunrou was the most, and her eyes were filled with deep disgust.

The consequences of being famous! Xiao Chunyang smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw that gaze. After all, the former Second Young Master of Xiao Family's reputation was too bad. He was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and gambling. Yet he was also a trash who did nothing. If it were anyone else who was his fiancée, they wouldn't be able to take it.

Not to mention the little princess of the Duanmu Family.

"Bastard! There's no place for you to speak here. Stand aside!"

Xiao Zhenshan quickly scolded. At the same time, he was also worried that his son's words would become more intense and cause the situation to become even more tense. He kept winking at Xiao Chunyang.

"Father, as the person involved in this matter, I have the right to speak here!"

Xiao Chunyang ignored Xiao Zhenshan's look and then looked at Duanmu Yunrou, who was as proud as a swan.

Speaking of which, in her eyes, was he a toad that wanted to eat swan meat?

"Second Young Master of Xiao Family, Xiao Chunyang, right? This matter was very clear just now. Originally, this engagement was just a verbal promise, like a joke. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, this engagement must be canceled today! "

After Duanmu Yunrou said that, she did not look at someone anymore. It was as if looking at someone one more time, she would feel incomparably uncomfortable, as if she had been contaminated.

Xiao Chunyang saw that reaction. Originally, Duanmu Yunrou was not bad looking. Xiao Chunyang's first impression of her was still very good. He did not expect that after a series of discussions, this beautiful girl was in his heart. Her status would drop drastically. Not to mention the fact that the other party had taken the initiative to ask for the annulment of the engagement, she had even wanted to marry him. He didn't want it!

He could not afford to worship such a woman! His temple was too small.

"Uncle Xiao, today..."

"Shut up!" Suddenly, Xiao Chunyang interrupted Duanmu Yunrou's words loudly. Then, he ignored the astonishment of the crowd. Duanmu Yunrou's pale and pale face crossed as she said, "The eldest daughter of Duanmu Family! What a big show of power! What do you think the Xiao Family is?!"

" What do you mean? "

Duanmu Yunrou's expression also turned ugly, but compared to someone else, she was still worried about her own identity and tried her best to control her expression.

"What do you mean? Do you want to ask me what do you mean by doing what you did? What do you think the Xiao Family is? He casually said, If I don't acknowledge the engagement, will I cancel the engagement? What do you think the Duanmu Family is, and what do you think the Xiao Family is!?"

" Or, what do you think you are? The master of the Duanmu Family? As expected of the young lady of Duanmu Family! She is indeed different from ordinary people!"

" What do you mean by that? When did I... "

Ignoring Duanmu Yunrou's drastic change in expression and rebuttal, Xiao Chunyang once again interrupted her. "Didn't you always say that from the beginning? That's right. Do you feel that coming here today has given Xiao Family a great deal of face? You have come to our Xiao Family and personally proposed to cancel the engagement. Do you think that you have given the Xiao Family enough face? And then, the Xiao Family immediately agreed with gratitude? Did you think of this from the beginning?"

Duanmu Yunrou's expression kept changing. Although she did not give a direct answer, everyone could tell that she was thinking the same thing as what Xiao Chunyang had said.

"So what?!" After holding it in for a long time, Duanmu Yunrou finally asked in a somewhat angry tone.

"So what? It was really funny! The young lady of Duanmu Family, you are looking down on her too much... No! Are you looking down on our Xiao Family, or are you looking down on the relationship between your grandfather and my grandfather?"

"I... I didn't! Don't speak nonsense!" Such a big hat, even if Duanmu Yunrou was deeply doted on by the Duanmu Family, she still wouldn't dare to accept it.

The Xiao Family's side was already in decline. But the old master of the Duanmu Family was the oldest person in the Duanmu Family. Not to mention denying the friendship of the old master of the Duanmu Family, she didn't even dare to question him.

Xiao Zhenshan originally wanted to stop his son from causing trouble, but after listening to the old master's words, he sat aside and didn't want to interfere. Although Duanmu Bote was slightly displeased, he didn't interrupt.

"No? So it turns out that the eldest daughter of Duanmu Family also doesn't keep her word when she opens her eyes? Didn't she just say that she won't admit it in the blink of an eye? "

Xiao Chunyang's face was filled with sarcasm, and he coldly harrumphed.

"When did I say that?"

"When? It turned out that Miss Duanmu not only refused to admit her wrongdoings, but was also forgetful. Then I will kindly remind you, just now... Did you say that the engagement between us is just a one-sided verbal promise of your grandfather's wishful thinking? It can't be considered true?"

Duanmu Yunrou did not understand what Xiao Chunyang meant, but she also nodded her head.

"Isn't that enough? In your words, the Duanmu old man's firm attitude towards the two families because of his deep friendship with my grandfather all those years ago has become a joke."

"Of course, you can insult our Xiao Family. Although this has infuriated the entire Xiao Family, you... However! You even want to insult your own grandfather! This is outrageous! I really don't know what you just said. Would he be angered to the core? He's already so old, this junior is truly worried for the old man."

When Xiao Zhenshan heard the beginning, he was a little surprised. He never thought that his son would be able to say such a big truth. However, the more he heard the latter part, the more he felt that something was wrong. The last part almost made him laugh out loud. He tried his best to hold back his laughter, and his face turned red. He also did not expect Xiao Chunyang to make such a mess of things, but he did not know how to refute it. He did not see Duanmu Yunrou's pretty face turn red. She was angry and anxious. But she could not refute it at all?

"You... You..." When did a certain young lady encounter such a person who could change her words so easily?

"You what you?! I really feel sad for the Duanmu old man. He actually had such an unfilial granddaughter! Of course, I am a member of the Xiao Family. I can't interfere too much with the family affairs of the Duanmu Family. "

Xiao Chunyang nodded as he spoke, sighing in admiration that he was indeed a good person. However, at this moment, a certain someone couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite off a piece of meat from his body.

Xiao Chunyang didn't have a good impression of Duanmu Yunrou. Although this woman was beautiful, she made him feel disgusted!

On the surface, today's matter was not a big deal. It was just Duanmu Yunrou's personal matter. She was not satisfied with the arranged marriage arranged by the elders of the family and wanted to resist.

This matter was not considered wrong. On the contrary, Xiao Chunyang agreed with her. After all, he came from Earth. He did not agree with this kind of arranged marriage arranged by the family elders.

However, Duanmu Yunrou did the wrong thing and did it!

She personally came to the Duanmu Family and hid from the old man and directly went to ask for the annulment of the marriage. What kind of thing was this? Was it good for the Xiao Family to cancel the engagement or not?

Besides, it was impossible for the Duanmu Family to not know the current situation of the Xiao Family! Over the years, the Xiao Family had fallen into decline. If it wasn't for the relationship between the Duanmu Family and the Xiao Family, countless people would have attacked them.

In Duanmu Yunrou's opinion, it was her own matter to cancel the marriage of the younger generation at this time. However, if she magnified it, how heavy of a blow would it be to the Xiao Family?

Once this matter was known by others, how would the Xiao Family face the people of the world? To break off the engagement of the Duanmu Family! This was a direct slap to the face!

After this, could it really be as Duanmu Yunrou had said, the relationship between the two families would not change?

Bullshit!

At that time, one could imagine the situation of the Xiao Family! And how many people would throw stones at the Xiao Family while they were down?!

As an ally, not only did he not help much in these years, but he also wanted to add insult to injury to cancel the engagement! It made the Xiao Family extremely angry from top to bottom!

"You have said so much, isn't it just that you are unwilling to cancel the engagement?! His words were full of reasoning, making people dislike him more and more! Xiao Chunyang, I will explain here today that today's engagement... Whether the Xiao Family is willing or not, you must cancel it! You, Xiao Chunyang, will never allow me to marry you! Because you are not worthy! "

Since it had caused such a huge ruckus, Duanmu Yunrou no longer had any scruples and spoke very rudely. Although Duanmu Bote's expression was awkward, he was not organized. Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhenshan's eyes became extremely cold.

"Alright! Then today, I, Xiao Chunyang, will make it clear to you! The engagement can be canceled!"

Before Duanmu Yunrou could show any joy, Xiao Chunyang spoke again," But I have to make one thing clear. It is not you, Duanmu Yunrou, who wants to cancel the engagement. It is me, Xiao Chunyang, who wants to annulment the engagement! Duanmu Family? Do you really think that our Xiao Family is rare? So what if you, Duanmu Yunrou, are a beauty that is sought after by others? Do you really think that I, Xiao Chunyang, care about you?"

"Today, I will announce here that I, Xiao Chunyang... The 19th generation descendant of the Xiao Family swore here. After today, ... I, Xiao Chunyang, no longer have any relationship with Duanmu Yunrou! Since the engagement is annulled, I, Xiao Chunyang, disdain to marry such a woman!"

After saying that, Xiao Chunyang paused for a moment. He was not clear about the rules of this world. According to the ancient times on Earth, should he write a divorce letter? However, the engagement back then was only a promise from the Duanmu old man. There was no need for it now, right?

Duanmu Yunrou's pretty face was currently flushed red from anger. She gritted her silver teeth and her eyes were spitting fire. If looks could kill, then Xiao Chunyang would have died countless times by now.
