“I’m giving it to you. Are you planning to marry me and bear my children? Why on earth would I give you such valuable items out of the blue? Have you lost your mind?” Gu Chaoyan retorted sarcastically.
The Qian Family’s gatekeeper couldn’t help but hang his head in embarra.s.sment upon hearing these words. The situation had taken an unexpectedly amusing turn.
Hahaha.
hahahahahahaha.
It had been a while since they had witnessed such a lighthearted argument. It involved the Young Master of the Qian Family and the Lady from the Shen Family.
Typically, it was Lady Shen who carefully ingratiated herself with the Young Master of the Qian Family. Seeing her behave so a.s.sertively was indeed a rare sight.
As a result, the spectators preferred to see the Young Master of the Qian Family making a fool of himself.
These two individuals—Lady Shen, who was perceived as foolish and inept despite her n.o.ble birth, and the Young Master of the Qian Family, known for bullying the weak—elicited contrasting reactions from the commoners. While Lady Shen had never mistreated the common folk, the Young Master of the Qian Family had a reputation for tormenting them. Hence, the crowd relished the opportunity to witness his embarra.s.sment.
Qian Ziang felt a pang of confusion.
He had claimed owners.h.i.+p of the items because Shen Lianxue had initially indicated they were intended for him, although she had been deceived by his ruse at the time.
He said this because he trusted Shen Lianxue too much. He trusted Shen Lianxue’s love for him.
But from the looks of it, *
Why was Shen Lianxue always targeting him? Apart from feeling sorry for him in the past, she also felt sorry for him.
Could it be that Shen Lianxue was too sad and wanted to use these things to keep him?
The more Qian Ziang dwelled on it, the more he considered the possibility.
He spoke seriously, “Shen Lianxue, don’t attempt to manipulate the situation. Are you trying to use this ploy to trap me and force me to continue the engagement with you?”
“It’s impossible, Shen Lianxue!”
“A woman like you has no place in the Qian Family.”
“I don’t want these items!”
“Take them and get lost!” Qian Ziang snapped impatiently and fiercely, partly due to the discomfort of being ridiculed by the onlookers and partly because he had grown weary of the situation.
Numerous items lay strewn before Gu Chaoyan.
She examined them briefly, confirming that they indeed belonged to Shen Lianxue. However, she couldn’t help but notice that these were among the least valuable possessions from Shen Lianxue’s collection. It was no wonder Qian Ziang had readily produced them.
Observing the a.s.sortment, Gu Chaoyan glanced back at Qian Ziang. “Pick them up and return them to me.”
“Is the Qian Family just going to leave these items on the ground?”
“In that case, the Qian Family will have to retrieve the items we throw onto the ground,” Gu Chaoyan declared matter-of-factly.
The commoners erupted in laughter.
Since the engagement had been dissolved, this Lady from the Shen Family had become so eloquent that none could outdo her.
Qian Ziang seethed with anger, his face turning crimson.
His initial aim had been to belittle Shen Lianxue, but he found himself on the receiving end of humiliation.
Qian Ziang signaled for the gatekeeper to retrieve the items.
He urged them to be quick about it. He needed to sever all ties with this irrational woman as soon as possible.
Gu Chaoyan accepted the items without objection but soon wore a suspicious expression. “Young Master Qian, I’m afraid there’s something missing from this collection..”
