Chapter 693 Chapter 693
The defensive attitude is obvious to everyone.
Huang Zhi smiled bitterly and quickly moved the rose chair away, "Miss, please sit down and allow me to..., explain clearly."
Xu Lingqiao did not move, "Brother's matter should not be complicated, please keep it short, Third Young Master."
As for taking a seat, forget it.
Huang Zhi's face was filled with guilt and helplessness, with mixed feelings. He wanted to take a step forward, but Xu Lingqiao had already noticed it and immediately took two steps back as she was facing him sideways.
This way, the distance is further.
Huang Zhi was stunned on the spot. He sighed silently and could only suppress his voice, "It's not that I didn't come to propose marriage, it's just that I already have an engagement, and it's difficult to cancel the engagement."
Xu Ling lowered her pretty eyebrows and murmured after a long while, "What the hell is Mr. Huang saying? I don't quite understand it."
Huang Zhi felt very sorry when he saw her pretending to be unfamiliar and resisting.
"Until now, I have no face to see you..., but I can't forget what happened in the past. I came here today just to say a few words to you. Yunzhi has a gentle personality. When I mentioned the cancellation of the engagement to my family, they asked about it and said - they said that as long as it is possible, you two can call each other sisters -"
"Huang Zhi, forget it!"
When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she was immediately furious, her face flushed with anger. She growled, "The girl from the Mu family is a good girl, and the girl from the Xu family is not a slut who can be played with at will. You are sisters, but you want to have the best of both worlds. I really think highly of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingqiao's heart was broken into pieces.
She was so ashamed and angry that she turned around and tried to leave. Huang Zhizhi hurriedly grabbed her slender body and said, "Sister Ling Qiao... I have to say this because it was extremely difficult for me. Looking at how you two got along yesterday - no, no, no, I am the idiot! Let me think about it again."
Xu Lingqiao pushed Huang Zhi away as if she was touched by something dirty.
"Mr. Huang, you are high above me, and I am low in the dust. There is a huge difference between you and me. Please let go of a weak woman like me."
The past was a disaster.
Guanzhou and her brother all helped her to forget the past, so why did she want to look back and seek trouble for herself?
Huang Zhi saw that her face was full of indifference and wanted to distance himself from her, but he kept shaking his head.
"Sister Ling Qiao, I knelt in front of my parents and wanted to break off the engagement with Yunzhi, but Yunzhi has been in mourning for so long. Now she is in her twenties and is abandoned by me, her fiancé since childhood. I am afraid she will have no chance of survival. My parents would never allow it—"
Since Xu Lingqiao came in, she has never looked directly at Huang Zhi.
At this moment, she still turned sideways to the man who had once again reduced her to a plaything, and repeatedly mocked herself in her heart, Xu Lingqiao, you were not so cowardly before!
Xu's stepmother made all kinds of calculations, but he managed to get through them safely.
Even though her aunt plotted against her and her cousin coveted her, she never thought of compromising. Instead, she took the little maid and escaped.
According to Guan Zhou, it’s just like being bitten by a dog!
Why worry about these things?
Thinking of this, Xu Lingqiao suppressed the pain that was still breaking down in her heart, and raised her eyes for the first and last time, looking at Huang Zhi.
"Mr. Huang, there is no such thing as having it all your own way. Some things are wrong once you do them, and you can only regret it. Even so, it is better to just forget about each other."
"No!"
Huang Zhi looked at the familiar face, and the things he couldn't bear to give up were about to come out.
"Ling Qiao, I am not a heartless person!"
Xu Lingqiao took a half step back, moving further away from Huang Zhi. She knelt down and saluted from a distance, "I have encountered such a bad thing, and I have not thought about getting married. The eldest brother is like a father. My brother loves me and has never thought of sending me to marry. My sister has also said many times that it all depends on my heart. Even so, I will be an old lady, rather than asking for trouble. I hope you will be merciful."
Such a valuable gift made Huang Zhi's head buzz.
He shook his head and refused again and again.
"Ling Qiao, let me think of a solution."
Xu Lingqiao stood up again, her face more calm and composed, "My dear, you have feelings for me, but I don't have any."
She thought too much, and there was a hint of sadness between Mu Yunzhi's brows in the private room.
The girl was generous and magnanimous. She must not be a shallow-minded or narrow-minded person to have made friends with Guan Zhou. However, when she mentioned her future husband, she did not feel the joy of a girl waiting to be married, but only the sorrow that could not be escaped.
Why bother?
What did Mu Yunzhi do wrong?
She was engaged to her cousin at a young age and was looking forward to getting married with great joy. However, her father passed away unexpectedly, and she has been in mourning for three years, and she still suffers from the pain.
If they hadn't been in mourning, they would have already been a loving couple.
Xu Lingqiao thought of this and smiled bitterly, "Although the Xu family has declined, it is not without character. My brother and I depend on each other for survival. Fortunately, my cousin helped us and we have had a peaceful life for the past few months. Young master is born rich, so there is no need to be stubborn. You and I are strangers to each other, so why bother?"
How could a girl from the Xu family be a concubine?
Huang Zhi knows...
At this moment, he was filled with worries, "Ling Qiao, please give me some time."
"What can I do for you?"
Xu Lingqiao suddenly became angry. She looked at Huang Zhi, "Do you still want to let others down? I want to forget everything in the past. Why do you appear again and again to remind me of that unbearable night!"
Unbearable?
Huang Zhi blushed, and couldn't help but step forward and want to hold Xu Lingqiao's hand, "I..., I have been missing you."
"No!"
Xu Lingqiao was full of grievances and couldn't suppress her anger at this moment.
"Huang Zhi, you are a well-read scholar, you must know more than a country girl like me. Forget about all these things!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Huang Zhi didn't know where he got the courage from, but he took a step forward and hugged Xu Lingqiao tightly from behind. This hug scared Xu Lingqiao so much that she almost screamed. She gritted her teeth to suppress her panicked cry.
"Asshole, let me go!"
Huang Zhi hugged the beauty in his arms, feeling full of guilt and even more reluctant to let her go.
"Ling Qiao, I know you have me in your heart, maybe for me..., I will let Yun Zhi suffer for the time being, don't worry, I will treat you well--"
When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she was stunned at first, and then anger took over her mind.
She was trembling all over, and she didn't know where she got the strength from. She broke free from Huang Zhi's restraints in a few tries, turned around and slapped Huang Zhi hard in the face.
"A girl from the Xu family would rather die than be someone's concubine or a toy! Huang Zhi, you may have forgotten that I am not only a girl from the defeated Xu family, but also the cousin of the fourth young master's wife in the mansion!"
These last few words, along with the slap in the face, hit Huang Zhixin hard.
Yes!
The cousin of Song Guanzhou, the fourth young lady of the mansion, is a concubine of someone else. How can the fourth young lady still have the dignity to stay in the capital?
Huang Zhi's shoulders drooped and his face was full of pain.
"Ling Qiao... I'm in a dilemma, I really can't do anything!"
"forget!"
Xu Lingqiao looked at him coldly, "From now on, you and I are just strangers!"
