“Yaya, regardless of the circumstances, our engagement no longer exists. I hope you won’t hold any expectations about this matter.” He said in a deep voice.
Bai Yaya felt as if she had been struck on the head, her eyes turning red instantly. “Why? You can just end it like that? Does our years of relationship mean less than this woman!”
She angrily pointed at Luo Xi, her face filled with resentment.
Luo Xi’s eyes flashed with coldness. “Speak properly, there’s no need to point fingers. Didn’t your mother teach you that it’s very rude?”
It’s easy to blame her. After all, it was Bai Yaya who agreed to break off the engagement.
Now that she sees that Leng Minxing is well again, she regrets it. Doesn’t she think it’s too late?
Perhaps she truly liked Leng Minxing, but her feelings became worthless in the face of life and death. How could she still believe she deserved him?
Leng Minxing’s voice grew serious, his tone dropping a few degrees. “This is a matter between us. I don’t want you targeting Xixi. You agreed to break off the engagement personally. That was your choice, and you have no one to blame but yourself!”
“But the situation was different then. You know that the old lady wanted to find someone to help you regain your spirits. I had no choice. I did it to save you. Brother Xing, if you’re upset about this, I apologize. Can you forgive me? I’m the one who’s truly suited to be your wife. She’s just a girl from a humble background, knows nothing about etiquette, and is merely a student. How could she possibly be worthy of you?” Bai Yaya said angrily.
“Whether she’s worthy or not is not for you to decide!” Leng Minxing’s expression darkened completely. His deep voice rang, “Yaya, I have been lenient because of our families’ relationship, but my patience has limits. If I hear such words from you again, I won’t hold back.”
“Brother Xing…” Bai Yaya looked at him in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock.
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave.” Leng Minxing said coldly.
Bai Yaya gritted her teeth, unable to stay any longer. She shot a fierce glare at Luo Xi and ran out of the office in tears.
Luo Xi, who was merely caught in the crossfire, thought: …
She truly couldn’t understand this woman. It was clearly Leng Minxing who told her to leave, yet now she acted as if it were all her fault. She at a loss for words.
Moreover, she firmly believed that even if Leng Minxing had spoken so decisively, that woman would not give up easily.
Looking at Leng Minxing’s stern face, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did you… like her before?”
Leng Minxing paused slightly and looked at her. “Why do you ask?”
“Otherwise, how could you have been engaged?” Luo Xi replied and pursed her lips.
“Business marriages don’t require feelings.” Leng Minxing said flatly.
When he first took over the company and the Leng family, many people were dissatisfied with him. The Bai family happened to see an opportunity to pursue benefits through marriage. His grandmother thought it would stabilize his position, so she agreed despite his objections.
Bai Yaya was in the same class as him when they were young. She was a sweet and lovely girl. Also, because their families were well-acquainted, he took care of her. However, he had treated her like a sister, while her feelings had changed. This really surprised him. She insisted on marrying him.
But from a young age, Leng Minxing had already planted his heart with another girl.
