Chapter 7

"Breaking the engagement..." Chen Xuan looked at Gao Yao seriously, then at the others from the Gao family, and nodded, saying, "Although I heard from my master’s wife that it was you who insisted on this engagement, I will accept the result of breaking it now."

"Hmph, country bumpkin, what can you do if you don’t accept it? Do you still want to resist?" Gao Xueqing said disdainfully. Now that even Jiang Xiaotang, the respected Jiang, had come to the Gao family to celebrate, she felt even more superior.

Gao Laozhu said to Jiang Xiaotang, "Sir Jiang, this is just a small farce, I apologize for it."

Jiang Xiaotang glanced at Chen Xuan, a cold smile in his heart, and said, "This is a matter within the Gao family, you should resolve it yourselves."

"Thank you, Sir Jiang." Gao Laozhu was delighted, but when he looked at Chen Xuan, all his joy vanished. He said coldly, "Chen Xuan, right? The engagement I made with your master’s wife was just a joke, but I’m not an ungrateful person. Your master’s wife saved my life, and I should repay her. Yao Yao, give him a check for 100,000 yuan."

Gao Yao nodded and took out a check from her bag, but she didn’t hand it to Chen Xuan personally; instead, she threw it in front of him. To her, any contact with Chen Xuan, the country bumpkin, would make her feel disgusted.

"Your master’s wife saved my grandfather’s life, and this 100,000 yuan check is a significant amount for people from the countryside. Consider it payment for the medical expenses." She said proudly.

Chen Xuan looked at the check on the ground but didn’t bend down to pick it up.

Seeing this, Jiang Wushuang frowned. Although she didn’t particularly like Chen Xuan, Gao Yao’s humiliating behavior made her dislike her even more.

Jiang Xiaotang was burning with anger, wishing he could exterminate the entire Gao family, but he had to endure it. He wanted to see what other despicable things the Gao family would do to his savior.

Seeing Chen Xuan’s indifference, Wu Lili said with a superior tone, "Country bumpkin, what’s in front of you isn’t just a piece of paper, it’s a 100,000 yuan check. But you, a bumpkin from the countryside, probably haven’t even seen a check before. I advise you to pick it up. 100,000 yuan is a huge sum for someone like you, more than you could earn in a year."

"Hehe, bumpkin, this is 100,000 yuan. You’ve probably never seen so much money in your life. If I were you, I’d pick up this 100,000 yuan and leave the Gao family right now," Gao Xueqing said mockingly.

Gao Meifeng also said, "Pauper, pick it up quickly. For someone from the countryside, earning 100,000 yuan is very difficult."

This was blatant humiliation!

A pack of ungrateful dogs!

Chen Xuan was furious. He looked at the 100,000 yuan check on the ground but made no move. If he picked it up, not only would he be humiliated, but his master, Lin Suyi, would also be humiliated by these ungrateful and untrustworthy people!

"Hehe, a nobody without self-awareness deserves to be humiliated. This is the tragedy of a nobody. Facing someone more powerful, he is even less than an ant, with no ability to resist."

"Although the Gao family did set this engagement, if you’re not strong enough to make the Gao family honor it, it’s just a delusion, a daydream."

"Boy, 100,000 yuan is a lot. With this money, you might be able to start a small business to support your family. Now that this unexpected wealth is right in front of you, why don’t you pick it up?"

The guests all watched Chen Xuan with a sense of schadenfreude, enjoying the spectacle of humiliating a country bumpkin. They didn’t have to worry about any consequences.

Jiang Xiaotang was also watching Chen Xuan. Although he knew Chen Xuan wouldn’t pick it up, he wanted to see what Chen Xuan would do. After all, if Chen Xuan was the kind of person who would bend for a little money, he wouldn’t have left after curing his illness on the train.

"Hehe, women, so your grandfather’s life is only worth 100,000 yuan to you!" Chen Xuan laughed coldly, having no good feelings left for the Gao family.

Gao Yao frowned and said, "What, do you think it’s too little?"

"Fine, name your price, but I’ll say this first: take the money and get out of my Gao family, because even looking at you makes me feel disgusted."

Feeling disgusted by looking at him?

You son of a bitch, do you think I care?

"Hehe, the Gao family’s threshold is indeed high. My master shouldn’t have had a compassionate heart back then..." Chen Xuan laughed, walked over, and stepped on the 100,000 yuan check, saying coldly, "I will leave your Gao family, but this money is too dirty. You can keep it for yourselves. Also... you can break the engagement, but I... will also divorce you!"

Divorce you!

These three words pierced Gao Yao’s heart like a needle and slapped the Gao family in the face.

They never expected this country bumpkin to dare say such bold words.

Want to provoke the Gao family?

Do you want to die?

Jiang Xiaotang smiled. This retaliation... was good.

"The damn ant, you’re tired of living!" Zhou Jian’s face was icy. Divorcing Gao Yao, if this news spreads, won’t Zhou Jian be seen as a scavenger?

"Little brat, today I will have someone tear your mouth apart. Come..."

"Divorcing my Gao family’s daughter, such an insult to the Gao family, you won’t leave alive today!"

Gao Laozhu’s eyes were sinister. Originally, he had a bit of guilt towards Chen Xuan, but now it was gone. Today, he must make Chen Xuan pay, or how could the Gao family stand in Dongling?

The Gao family was enraged!

Seeing the bodyguards pouring in, the guests knew that the boy who dared to humiliate the Gao family would not have a good day.

He might even lose his life.

After all, for the Gao family, it was too easy to get rid of someone, let alone a powerless country boy!

In an instant, the Gao family’s bodyguards gathered behind Gao Laozhu.

Gao Laozhu stared at Chen Xuan with sinister eyes and said sternly, "In consideration of your master’s wife saving my life, I will give you one chance. Kneel and apologize, and I will let you leave the Gao family unharmed."

Kneel and apologize?

Who do you Gao family think you are?

I could piss on you and wash you away!

Chen Xuan laughed coldly, shook his head, and said, "In my life, I don’t kneel to heaven or earth, only to my master’s wife. You Gao family don’t have the right to make me kneel. Since you Gao family have given me a result, I will also give you a result. Isn’t that fair and reasonable?"

"Take him down!" Gao Laozhu could no longer bear his anger.

With his order, the Gao family’s bodyguards were about to move.

But at that moment, Jiang Xiaotang stepped in. He stomped his foot, and the Gao family’s bodyguards were immediately thrown back.

"Whoever dares to act today, don’t blame me, Jiang Xiaotang, for being unfriendly!"

Seeing this, the guests who were ready to watch the show were stunned.

Gao Laozhu and the others also stared at Jiang Xiaotang in shock, "Sir Jiang, why are you doing this?"

"Divorced is divorced. Do you Gao family have a problem with that?"
