Chapter 28: Chapter 28: I’m Here to Annul the Marriage
Lin Dong stepped out and imdiately hailed a cab to head for the Qiao Family.
He quickly arrived at Qiao’s Villa.
In the living room of the villa, sitting at the highest end, was none other than Elder Qiao Guoting of the Qiao Family.
Besides him, there was also a woman dressed in CEO OL attire, exuding a frosty deanor.
This woman had skin fairer than snow, and her beauty even surpassed that of Sister Bai Jue.
Her figure was impeccably curved. Her long, beautiful legs, wrapped under the short skirt of her OL uniform, were now slanting with not a single gap between them.
This was Qiao Xue, Lin Dong’s prospective partner according to Lin Dong’s Marriage Book, and Jianghai’s number one beauty in the business world.
Qiao Xue’s mother, Chu Yunxiu, was also present and was currently scrutinizing Lin Dong with a frown.
“Lin Dong, you’ve finally arrived. A few days ago, I received a call from your master, Daoist Qingshan, saying you were coming to Jianghai,” Elder Qiao Guoting said with a chuckle while stroking his beard.
“Now that you’re here, let’s not delay any further. You can go and get the marriage certificate with Xiaoxue today.”
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s expression drastically changed.
Qiao Xue quickly said, “Grandpa, what era are we living in to still be doing these arranged marriages? I refuse to marry!”
She was unwilling to marry a man who was a complete stranger, even if the command ca from the all-powerful Elder of the Qiao Family.
Chu Yunxiu, seated next to her, disdainfully and disapprovingly said:
“I’ve seen his profile too. Only a high school diploma, hasn’t even been to university. Always staying up in the mountains.”
“Such a loser, Elder Qiao, marrying Xiaoxue to him is simply ruining her!”
Lin Dong, who had originally co to break off the engagent, had intended to speak politely. However, he did not expect Qiao Xue’s mother to say sothing like this.
Directly in front of him, she called him trash.
Dissatisfied, Lin Dong said, “Aunty, this is our first eting, right? You don’t even know . I’m not sure on what basis you’re so hastily deeming
a loser?”
“Isn’t it obvious that you’re a loser? You haven’t even been to university. How can soone like you make a stance in the city?”
“You wouldn’t even qualify for a job as our family’s security guard. If you’re not a loser, then what are you?”
Lin Dong was speechless, “Alright, I get it. I see that’s how you judge a person.”
“However, aunty, what I wanted to say is that I’m actually here to break off the engagent!”
“Break off the engagent??!” Lin Dong’s words struck everyone with surprise.
Qiao Xue’s face turned uncertain. She, the foremost beauty and CEO in Jianghai business circles, graduated from a famous university’s Business Administration Departnt overseas. And yet this countryside boy, without even a university degree, was talking about breaking off the engagent?
On what ground?
If there was going to be a break-off, it should be she, Qiao Xue, to propose it!
Chu Yunxiu was also stunned, then sneered, “Kid, are you trying to make a spectacle of yourself? Intentionally trying to attract our attention, aren’t you?”
“If that’s the case, I must say you’re too naive! We’ll give you five hundred thousand, leave at once. And then announce to the public that it’s because you ssed around outside, and our Xiaoxue kicked you to the curb!”
Elder Qiao Guoting glared at his daughter-in-law, Chu Yunxiu, and said sternly, “Shut your mouth, can’t you talk less?”
Hearing Elder Qiao’s reprimand, Chu Yunxiu finally closed her mouth.
As for Elder Qiao Guoting, he turned his gaze towards Lin Dong, and with a kindly expression said:
“Lin Dong, don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you. No one can break this marriage agreent.”
“Elder Qiao, I appreciate your kindness. However, I indeed ca here today to break off the engagent. Qiao Xue and I didn’t know each other before, and a lon plucked is not sweet; I think it’s better for both of us to call the marriage off,” Lin Dong said.
“If you’re worried about your family’s reputation, you can announce that Qiao Xue dumped !”
Lin Dong spoke very sincerely and earnestly, not as if joking.
Nor was he making a spectacle as Chu Yunxiu had suggested.
Seeing this, Elder Qiao sighed.
“Sigh, let it be, let it be. Since you two young people are unwilling to marry, then how can I, an old man, force you to be together…”
Elder Qiao was about to agree to destroy the marriage agreent.
But at this mont, an unexpected voice rang out.
“I disagree with breaking off the engagent!”
This voice once again caused a wave of shock.
Because the person who spoke was none other than Qiao Xue!
Lin Dong was baffled, “Miss Qiao, what do you an by this? Earlier, the one who disagreed with this marriage was you. Now, just as you wished to break it off, why are you reluctant?”
Qiao Xue looked down at Lin Dong with a cold and haughty gaze, full of superiority.
“I’ve made up my mind to give you half a year to pursue . If you perform well, I might consider marrying you. But if you cannot catch my eye, then it will be
kicking you to the curb.”
After hearing this, Lin Dong understood; this woman’s pride was too strong.
She wouldn’t allow others to break off an engagent with her, she would only allow herself to break it off with soone else!
Lin Dong felt sowhat displeased and turned to look at Elder Qiao.
“Elder Qiao?”
Lin Dong hoped Elder Qiao would agree to the break-off. However, Elder Qiao let out a laugh and said:
“Lin Dong, I am keen to see you win over Xiaoxue. In half a year, after you get married, hurry up and have babies. By then, our Qiao family will have four generations under one roof. Oh yes, I’ve already thought of what to na your children…”
Lin Dong sighed deeply. Breaking off an engagent was more difficult than he had thought!
Elder Qiao was even more outrageous, already deciding on the nas of his and Qiao Xue’s unborn children.
As for Qiao Xue, she was even more domineering.
At this point, she took out her phone and made a call to her secretary.
“Xiao Yu, I have sothing to announce!”
“State that I, Qiao Xue, am engaged, and the na of my fiancé is Lin Dong!”
The secretary on the other end was completely shocked. The young gentlen in Jianghai who were pursuing the CEO could line up all the way to the suburbs.
Among them was Young Master Huang of the Huang Family who was pursuing her. Yet now, the CEO was declaring she already had a fiancé.
A fiancé nad Lin Dong?
Just who is this Lin Dong and why is he so special!?
Secretary Xiao Yu couldn’t imagine the earthquake it would cause in the Jianghai business circles once it was announced that their CEO was engaged…
