Translator: 549690339
Li Muyao, who came out of Li Mufeng’s rented house, no longer had the fierce and sharp gaze and aura from before.
Li Muyao didn’t know that the threat of violence just now had a miraculous effect. It allowed her to have nearlv two vears of Deace without having to meet that strange scheming woman, Liu Xiufang.
Of course, she didn’t know now. When her mother called later, she would Imow.
At this moment, Li Muyao was still in a state of excitement.
Just now, Li Muyao was very angry. Li Muyao couldn’t beat up her brother, whom she had used a steel pipe to protect when she was a few years old. Coincidentally, she saw a small stool at the door. Li Muyao noticed that there were some slight cracks in the middle of the small plastic stool.
In fact, even if Li Muyao didn’t step on the stool today, Li Mufeng and the others would have taken it out to set up a stall and let their customers sit on it. It would only be a few times before it broke.
Li Muyao was merely taking advantage of the situation.
If she hadn’t discovered the problem with the stool earlier, Li Muyao wouldn’t have dared to act recklessly. After all, this kind of pretentious action could very likely hit her face and hurt her feet if she wasn’t careful. In the end, it might even have the opposite effect.
However, Li Muyao deliberately slowed down her pace. Before Li Mufeng and Liu Xiufang could chase after her, Li Muyao knew that she had successfully intimidated them.
As soon as Li Muyao walked out of the alley, she saw Huo Jiling coming out of the tea restaurant Li Muyao had appointed earlier and waving at her.
Li Muyao paused for a moment, then the happiness on her face disappeared and she walked toward Huo Jiling.
“I’ve ordered two small cakes with jasmine fragrance and some refreshments for you. Have a seat, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me.”
Huo Jiling originally thought that Li Muyao should be an innocent and cute girl. However, after personally interacting with Li Muyao, he realized that Li Muyao was not as silly and sweet as he knew her. She was not like a young girl who had just arrived in a big city like Yangcheng. She did not know anything about the world and only knew how to study beauty and earn money.
She said that Li Muyao had a question for Huo Jiling.
Huo Jiling wanted to know why Li Muyao was different from the one he knew.
“I ask, you answer.”
Li Muyao’s personality was like this. She liked to be direct and didn’t like to do things in a roundabout way. That would burn her brain cells.
Huo Jiling wanted to nod obediently, but he still followed his heart. He took off his glasses, and his warm eyes instantly became more mature and imposing.
His tone also returned to the distance that he should have had with Li Muyao.
“Alright.”
Li Muyao didn’t touch the cake and refreshments on the table, but crossed her arms in front of her chest.l”Who are you? Why are you approaching me?””
Swindling money?
Li Muyao was a poor apprentice before she was reborn.
Was he cheating?
Huo Jiling’s looks were very attractive. He could easily get countless women to put out a fire for him.
Huo Jiling knew about Li Muyao’s hobbies and habits, which made Li Muyao wonder if Huo Jiling was a lucky person like her.
Soon, when Huo Jiling drove Li Muyao to Li Mufeng’s place, Li Muyao found that this guess was not reliable and could not be established.
Huo Jiling was the kind of person who knew everything about Li Muyao but had never interacted with her.
If there was even a sense of familiarity with Li Muyao, then Li Muyao would be able to confirm her guess.
But she didn’t. Instead, when Li Muyao tried not to speak, Huo Jiling would look at her curiously. Even if Huo Jiling pretended to be very natural and calm, Li Muyao could still feel the awkwardness and stiffness when Huo Jiling stayed in the same space as her.
Huo Jiling was obviously not used to interacting with girls.
Therefore, even though Huo Jiling knew all of Li Muyao’s preferences, from talking to dressing, he still couldn’t hide the ‘unfamiliarity’ and ‘unfamiliarity’ in his eyes.
In his previous life, as a high -level beauty manager, it was essential to observe people, observe all kinds of details, and remember all the habits and small actions of the client.
Li Muyao had noticed Huo Jiling’s difference yesterday. When Huo Jiling was sizing her up, Li Muyao was also observing him.
“I suggest that you tell the truth. You should know that lying is actually a very tiring thing.
I believe that Mr. Hunt is a smart person!”
If it was someone who wasn’t smart, Li Muyao wouldn’t even give him a chance to sit down and talk to him.
“My grandmother’s name is Ruan Feng. Nineteen years ago, when your father was still in the guards, he saved my grandmother.
After that, your father retired from the army due to his injuries and returned to his hometown. However, at that time, Uncle had been in contact with my grandmother. After finding out that Uncle had given birth to a cute daughter, my grandmother and Uncle were engaged.
The person I’m betrothed to is you, Li Muyao!
This is the letter that uncle wrote to my grandmother, as well as the token of our engagement!”
Huo Jiling took out the letter, and Li Muyao was familiar with the handwriting and keepsake. The handwriting on the letter was indeed written by her father. The token was a very ordinary small silver lock!
“I understand. I agree too. I’ll ask my mother to send the token over.
Our betrothal is canceled just like that. In the future, we’ll marry each other and have nothing to do with each other. Very good!”
Li Muyao knew about the betrothal.
In her previous life, Li Muyao was twenty-one years old when the engagement was called off. It was none other than Huo Jiling’s brother and sister-in-law. They came on New Year’s Eve with a token, a letter, and 100,000 yuan.
At that time, Liu Xiufang and Li Mufeng got married and finally gave birth to a son.
Liu Xiufang said that she wanted to use 100,000 yuan to buy some growth insurance for her son.
She directly took the money, tokens, and letters on behalf of her mother and Li Muyao.
Li Muyao didn’t have a good impression of Huo Jiling and his family. However, Li Muyao could understand why Huo Jiling’s family didn’t accept this kind of betrothal.
Li Muyao didn’t mind breaking off the engagement at all. In fact, she would be very happy.
The reason why Li Muyao disliked the Huo Family was that when her father passed away, she reported the funeral to the Huo Family. It was fine if no one came, but she humiliated her mother who called to report the funeral. As for how she humiliated her mother, Li Muyao didn’t know. However, after she knew that her mother made that phone call, she burned all the letters and photos related to the Huo Family to her father.
No wonder Li Muyao thought Huo Jiling looked familiar. It was because Li Muyao had seen Huo Jiling and his grandmother when they were kids.
However, he burned them all down..
