Chapter 8: Ingratitude (GreenXiao Novel Network)

Thinking of the guest, Ye Xiao grabbed a dry towel and vigorously rubbed his hair...

Before he could dry his hair, he heard his sister Yan's voice again...

"Hey, Mr. Situ, Mrs. Situ, why are only the two of you here? Where is Haoyue? Didn't she come to see our Xiao'er?"

"Miss Murong, it's like this, our Haoyue has something to do tonight and can't come in person, so please understand..." This was a man's voice...

"Oh, I see. No problem, since you're here, please come in and sit down, Xiao'er is still inside..." Miss Murong's voice sounded!

"Miss Murong, there's no need to trouble you. We still have some matters to attend to, we just came to deliver a message and leave..." The man seemed to have some difficulty speaking...

"Deliver a message and leave? If it's just a message, it could have been said over the phone. Now that you're here, you should at least come in and sit down..."

"Really, there's no need, Miss Murong, actually we... we..."

"If you can't say it, I'll say it. Miss Murong, actually we are here on behalf of our Haoyue to break off the engagement..." At this moment, a woman's dry voice came through!

It must be Situ Haoyue's mother!

"Break off the engagement?" Miss Murong's voice was somewhat surprised, and her expression darkened...

"Yes, break off the engagement. Our Haoyue already has a sweetheart, and we are here to break off the engagement..." The man seemed to have made up his mind, speaking firmly!

"Sweetheart? Ha ha, Situ Nan, this engagement was personally arranged by your family's elder and Xiao'er's grandfather. What do you mean by this?" Upon hearing that they were here to break off the engagement and for such a reason, Miss Murong's expression turned completely cold!

"Miss Murong, as you know, young people today value free love. We cannot ruin our daughter's happiness because of a casual remark by the older generation. Haoyue and Ye Xiao have never met, and even if they were forced together, they might not be happy. I hope Miss Murong can understand..." Situ Nan explained!

"Casual remark? Ha ha, Situ Nan, if I'm not mistaken, it was your family's elder who begged Xiao'er's grandfather to arrange this engagement. Now you call it a casual remark? Ha ha, don't you find it quite amusing?" Miss Murong's voice also turned cold...

"Miss Murong, you know, back then, that person single-handedly founded Starlight and dominated Jinghai, unmatched by anyone. As his son, he naturally had the qualifications to marry our Haoyue. But now? That person has been missing for nearly twenty years, and Starlight is no longer what it used to be. With his current status, what qualifications does he have to marry our Haoyue? Miss Murong, we are telling you this out of respect for that person. Otherwise, do you think someone of your status would have the qualifications for us to personally come to break off the engagement..." Seeing her husband still trying to explain, and Miss Murong's mocking expression, Zhang Muye couldn't help but speak up again...

While drying his hair, Ye Xiao heard this and felt a surge of anger rise in his chest...

Neither his grandfather nor his sister Yan had mentioned much about his father's past, but he knew something about this engagement!

Back then, the Situ family was just an ordinary family, but the Situ family's elder and his grandfather were good friends. The elder approached his grandfather to arrange this engagement, and because of this engagement, the Situ family rapidly expanded under his grandfather's help, becoming one of the top families in Jinghai City.

However, things changed. His father went missing a few years ago, and the Starlight organization fell apart. Jinghai City was in turmoil, and his grandfather, being old, left Jinghai to avoid retaliation against the young Ye Xiao.

And the power he held was all handed over to the Situ family, which helped the Situ family become one of the top families in Jinghai City. But now, they were ungrateful and wanted to break off the engagement...
