Breaking Off The Engagement (3)


    “That’s enough! Little Ye is still young. There’s no need to be so harsh.” Qing Xuantian interjected as if he could not stand listening to Hao Bilian nder Bai Ye.


    He approached Bai Ye, attempting to pull her over. “Little Ye, why don’t youe with me? If you wish to enter the Erudition Trials, we cane back when you’re of age. Come now…”


    Ji Fu noticed Qing Xuantian’s approach and quickly stepped between the man and Bai Ye. “Hold up!”


    Ji Fu was not just an ordinary vige chief. He knew what Qing Xuantian was after. The unexpected drama that was ying out did not distract him from his purpose.


    Qing Xuantian and the Yun family were plotting to take Bai Ye away. The Yun family…


    “Elder Ji, find fault with me however you will but you cannot stand between Little Ye and I. We’ve known each other since childhood and were engaged ten years ago, everyone in Banruo Vige can attest to that.


    “Respectfully, I must ask you to step aside and allow us to be reunited. I beg you,” Qing Xuantian said in the sincerest tone he could conjure. Then, he knelt before Ji Fu.

    “What? This… This…”


    Once the ‘truth’ was revealed by the agent, the public’s perception of Ji Fu and Mu Yunzhan deteriorated.


    p, p, p.


    As the crowd’s support skewed toward one side, Bai Ye—who witnessed the whole y acted out by the Yun family and that piece of human filth, Qing Xuantian—walked out from behind Ji Fu pping.


    It took Bai Ye some time to realize who these rtives were, so to speak. “Is everyone done with the drama? Young Master Qing and these…if my memory serves me right, the family who cut ties with my mother a long time ago. How shameless, Lady Hao Bilian, Lord Yun Suqian, Lady Yun…”


    Since the beginning, Bai Ye had known Qing Xuantian would never stop tracking her. Despite having Ji Fu’s protection, Bai Ye had made her own preparations.


    What surprised Bai Ye was the approach Qing Xuantian employed. He was painting himself as the ‘morally good savior’ in the eyes of the public while trying to kidnap her. The Yun family’s involvement too was a surprise. Hehe…


    “Watch your mouth!” Hao Bilian shouted in defiance. She did note here to be insulted by a young girl.
