The Birth Of A Villainess Chapter 10 - Chu Family

Inside the Receiving Hall.

Lin Xiaong looked darkly at the two people sitting across him.

When he heard that the Chu family has co to visit, he was slightly happy since both families didn't have that much contact with each other, and having them visit the Lin family ant that the Chu family was being courteous and gave their future in-laws so face.

Lin Xiaong knew that his granddaughter has a peculiar personality but maybe, after marrying over, she would learn to beco a proper lady.

However, it seems that all his thoughts were only his wishful thinking because the purpose of the Chu family's visit was to break the engagent!

With his hands clenched into a tight fist, Lin Xiaong said, "What does the Chu family an by this? Breaking off the engagent.. Do you know what this ans for both families?"

Although the engagent between the young man across him and Lin Xiaofei was not completely publicized, it was still sothing that so of the higher-ranking family knew about.

Chu Wang Ji nodded with an indifferent expression, "I have already talked with grandfather and he gave his permission to break off the engagent. Although, both our families has ties with each other yet I'll still hope that General Lin will allow this to happen."

A young man in his early twenties was sitting across Lin Xiaong. He wore a light blue robe and had a good looking face. However, his stature was slightly weak but his bearing made one look and thought that this is how a gentleman should look like.

Lin Xiaong frowned.

Chu Wang Ji, the Di son of the Chu family. He was one of the most outstanding noble sons in the Capital. Not only does he have a good looking face, but he was also ranked at the top of the Xia Academy's scholarly examination, beating other Di sons on the list.

And he was also Lin Xiaofei's fiancée.

However, it looks like that will change very soon enough as this young man has co not to visit his fiancée after hearing about her falling ill but to break off the engagent.

​ "I cannot allow that. The engagent was established even before you and Fei'er were born. So, how can such a thing be break off without a valid reason?" Lin Xiaong deeply frowned, his scary-looking face beca black and was dissatisfied with this young man sitting calmly across him.

It was as if Chu Wang Ji doesn't even care about the engagent that was established many years ago by his elders. And what's more, it seems like the patriarch of the Chu family has given his consent on his grandson's decision to break off the engagent.

Just what was the Chu family patriarch thinking?

Mada Chu who ca along with his son suddenly said, "It is all my fault, General Lin. I brought Ji'er to one of my friend's birthday and didn't know that the future was so unpredictable that a noble family's daughter would take fancy on my Ji'er."

At this mont, Lin Xiaong didn't need to continue listening to the Madam Chu's nonsense. Her words were ant to say that another noble's daughter fancied Chu Wang Ji and reached out to their Chu family for marriage.

However, in truth, Madam Chu's words indicated that Chu Wang Ji fancied soone else, and hence, it is only natural for him to break off the engagent and this noble family's daughter beca a blind screen to make Chu Wang Ji not face any repercussions on this matter.

Saying that other noble family's daughter fancied Chu Wang Ji couldn't simply make them break off but if one would think deeply and the situation was reversed, and Chu Wang Ji was the one who fancied the lady then, it has beco a valid reason.

But why do they need to twist their words?

This left Lin Xiaong to taste bitterness inside his mouth.

The engagent was established years ago and if the future was so unpredictable as they say, wouldn't it be better if they broke off the engagent during the years that have already passed.

This made things even more complicated for Lin Xiaofei since she's already at the age where she should be already married, if not, engaged to soone. But if her engagent was gone, things would be worse than it was before.

With the rumors surrounding her, Lin Xiaofei wouldn't be able to marry a reputable and high ranking nobleman.

"I can't still allow it."

"But General Lin, our patriarch has already consented on this." Chu Wang Ji was indifferent toward his fiancée and didn't like her at all. The rumors surrounding her made it even worse because he was engaged with her, Chu Wang Ji's peers would laugh at him and mock him for having a stupid and spoiled future wife.

For years, he swallowed his pride and didn't say anything but only secretly complained about it. Why did he just have to be engaged to an arrogant Lin Xiaofei who doesn't even have any talent at all?

However, the Lin family was behind her, and the Chu family didn't have any other way to find any bigger support than the Lin family thus, this made Chu Wang Ji be determined and to do his best in the exams of Xia Academy and triumphantly beca on top.

As a top-ranking examiner in the Xia Academy, this gives him a chance to be the seed that will climb up the ranks in the imperial court and give the Chu family another string to hold onto.

And even if he doesn't get a higher official position, a lot of higher noble ranking family and young ladies with a good etiquette would want to have him and his Chu family in their ship.

If they could only convince Lin Xiaong to break off the engagent then they will be able to proceed with their plan to have Chu Wang Ji find another noble lady to marry.

"General Lin cannot force his way to keep this engagent. Although breaking the engagent would leave Lin Xiaofei into a difficult situation, our Chu family will help and look for a suitable partner in marriage for Lin Xiaofei." Chu Wang Ji finally said and had the intention of ending this conversation with their proposal.

Although there weren't many suitable noble Di sons in the Capital at this mont, the Chu Family was willing to look and help them, so that Lin Xiaofei wouldn't be left out and not marry in the future.

Lin Xiaong's face was black and got uglier but he couldn't do anything when the other family's decision was final. He could protest and complain about it but his granddaughter's reputation was at stake. He couldn't go and sue the Chu family without dragging the Lin family and Lin Xiaofei's na to dirt.

However, he was also not willing to let Lin Xiaofei suffer like this. But what could he do?

When he thought about it, the proposal of the Chu family was quite appealing, "This…" Lin Xiaong hesitated before he continued, "Let think about--"

However, before he could completely finish his words, a soft but cold voice belonging to a young woman interrupted him.

"There's no need to think about it, grandfather."

At this ti, Lin Xiaofei arrived and stood in the entrance of the Receiving hall, her beautiful face had a cold smile plastered in it as she said, "Let's break off the engagent."
