Chapter 1190: Goodbye, Second Brother (10)
Qiao Yiyi’s eyes lit up and she quickly put on a hurt expression, saying, “Yes.”
She turned towards him and showed him a teary face. She then said accusingly, “Second Brother, don’t you know? She’s so unreasonable! I’m her elder cousin but she doesn’t respect me a bit! She even slapped me, and this was really painful.”
As she spoke, she suddenly realized that Lu Nanze was looking at her face but at the same time seemed to be somewhere else.
Slightly taken aback, she probed, “Second Brother?”
“Her hand. Did the slap hurt her hand?”
He finally spoke, but his words infuriated Qiao Yiyi.
She had been slapped, but all that Second Brother asked was if it had hurt that woman’s hand.
She was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. “Second Brother?”
“Such an angry mark. It looks like she used a lot of force. Do you think it could have hurt her hand?”
Qiao Yiyi felt a burning sensation in her eyes immediately and she protested, “Second Brother, how can you be like this? That tr*mp—”
“Shut up!” Lu Nanze hollered at her.
Qiao Yiyi paused in shock.
Lu Nanze’s expression turned vicious all of a sudden. “If I hear you call her a tr*mp again, don’t blame me for being nasty.”
His sinister tone sent a shudder down her spine.
Like a fool, she stared back at him.
Then she gulped and said, “Second Brother, how- how can you treat me this way? She hit me. How could you say that?”
“What should I say then, if not that? Your father and my father killed her parents. And you feel that the slap she gave you is unjust?”
She didn’t know how to answer that. She only looked at him steadily and said, “But Second Brother—”
“But what?” Lu Nanze slowly raised his gaze and the corner of his lips suddenly curled up into an icy smile.
Qiao Yiyi bit her lip and said, “But we are about to get married! I’m your fiancée. Slapping me means slapping you!”
After these words were spoken, Lu Nanze slowly said, “Who said we’re getting married?”
Qiao Yiyi froze on the spot and said, “Second Brother, what- what do you mean?”
“What I just said. Literally.”
“Second Brother, you are not marrying me?”
“That’s right.”
Qiao Yiyi looked at him in disbelief. “How could you do that?”
“Why not?”
“Your father has already announced our marriage!!”
Lu Nanze said in an evil tone, “I can always call it off.”
“You- you-” Qiao Yiyi pointed her finger at him and said, “How could you not keep your word? You said that if I gave you the account book, you’d marry me! Second Brother, you can’t abandon me.”
Lu Nanze opened his mouth and was about to say something when Dad Lu suddenly pushed open the door and walked into the ward.
Noticing the situation in the room, he paused and asked, “What’s going on here?”
“Uncle Lu, you have to speak on my behalf! Second Brother says that he wants to call off the wedding!”
“Call it off? How can we call it off?!” Dad Lu frowned.
Lu Nanze said, “The account book has been destroyed, why would we still need the marriage?”
Dad Lu was stunned and said, “But she- she- Isn’t she pregnant with your child?”
Upon hearing those words, Lu Nanze threw her a glance. Then he smirked and said, “And you think she’s good enough?”
Qiao Yiyi was stunned and replied, “Second Brother, what do you mean?! I’m carrying a child in me, how could that be fake?!”
