"I think......."
With difficulty, he vomited out all the thoughts in his heart: "I want to cancel the marriage."
"??!" The chopsticks in Shu Qitian's hand fell to the ground unexpectedly, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in shock:
"What did you say?!"
"Grandpa Shu probably doesn't know why I left Jiang's house." Jiang Yao took a deep breath, summoned up a lot of courage, and then explained softly:
"Outsiders think that I left home because I didn't want to accept the shackles of the family and take responsibility. In fact, it was because... since I was seven years old, the relationship between me and my parents has deteriorated to an extremely serious level."
"To be honest, I haven't seen them for a long time, and of course, they don't want to see me either."
The more Jiang Yao talked, the more Shu Qitian frowned.
He wanted to ask what Jiang Yao meant, so he heard Jiang Yao continue to speak:
"There is a high probability that I will not inherit the Jiang family's property in the future. I don't have a clear plan for my future now. I'm afraid that I..."
He paused, and finally said the key point of today: "I can't take care of Shu Mian."
"...What do you mean by that?" Shu Qitian felt a sudden pain in his temple, and couldn't even eat, "you insist on canceling the marriage, there is no room for it?"
"......yes."
Jiang Yao didn't know how much effort he had to use to say these words. It was obviously just two simple words, but it took almost his entire life of courage:
"Sleep deserves better."
"I've let you down," he said.
"Wow—"
As soon as the words fell, cold water splashed on his face, and the transparent liquid slowly dripped down Jiang Yao's delicate nose bridge, and his eyes couldn't be opened for a moment.
Every eyebrow of Shu Qitianqi in front of him was trembling, his face was gloomy, so dark that water could almost drip.
He supported his chest and took several deep breaths before he managed to remain calm, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:
"Jiang Yao, remember, what you said today is your own choice, and I will not force you again."
Jiang Yao silently picked up a tissue and wiped off the water on his face. Although his movements were a bit embarrassing, it did not damage his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, because of being splashed with water, he revealed a smoother and fuller forehead, making his facial features more three-dimensional and refined.
Shu Qitian looked at such a face, and knew that Jiang Yao had the capital to captivate his obsession, but this man was too cowardly, which displeased him:
"But I want to tell you one thing, that is, Shu Mian never felt that you were incapable."
Jiang Yao paused, and the tissue in his palm was instantly squeezed into a ball, and he listened to Shu Qitian angrily said to him in a daze:
"Shu Mian told me that you have passed many exams and won many awards. You are the pillar and backbone of your company... Shu Mian, he admires you very, very much."
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Shu Qitian in disbelief, his lips squirmed for a long time, and Fang said, "...Really?"
Shu Qitian didn't answer Jiang Yao's words. His anger made him not want to say another word to Jiang Yao. He looked down at Jiang Yao who was silent, but finally he said coldly:
"So, what you said today didn't disappoint me, it disappointed Shu Mian."
"I will change the candidate for Shu Mian's fiancé. Now, you have no chance."
After finishing speaking, Shu Qitian never looked at Jiang Yao's shocked eyes, stood up, and left, leaving Jiang Yao sitting on the chair alone, tightly clutching the tissue in his palm.
Blood oozes from the lips biting his teeth, and his mouth is full of fishy smell. Jiang Yao keeps thinking about Shu Qitian's words in his ears, almost making him restless.
Substitution? who?
Would that person be better than him?
Will he take care of Shu Mian better than him?
And.....has he really let Shu Mian down?
Recalling what Shu Mian said to herself last night, that he would die without Jiang Yao, then if Shu Mian's fiancé really changed, would Shu Mian, who was waiting for him to come back at home every day, really cease to exist? !
Numerous questions lingered in Jiang Yao's mind, piercing his nerves like needles. At this moment, he almost had a splitting headache. Shu Mian, who was looking at him with disappointed eyes, and Shu Mian, who turned and left, appeared in front of him.
If he refuses to marry, the future will change. Then, will Shu Mian in his family never appear again, cook for him, or call him husband? !
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao couldn't sit still anymore.
He stood up suddenly, quickly paid the bill and ran to the underground parking lot.
Shu Qitian came here with Shu Mian today, and Shu Mian was eating in another box, she didn't know what happened, before she had dinner, Shu Qitian called him down and asked him to wait at the door.
So Shu Mian got down obediently, hugged her clothes, and kept staring at the parking lot, as if she was waiting for Shu Qitian's car to come out of the parking lot.
But the car that could have been waiting for a few minutes never showed up. Shu Mian asked "Huh?" in doubt, felt a little strange in her heart, tangled up for a while, then went around to the exit of the parking lot, waited at the exit, and after a while, she saw Shu Qitian's car coming out of the parking lot.
Shu Mian was overjoyed, and was about to walk over quickly, but when she looked up, the faint morning light suddenly fell on a man beside the car who was anxiously knocking on the window.
Jiang Yao? !
Shu Mian froze for a moment, wondering why Jiang Yao was so persistent in knocking on Shu Qitian's window.
He seemed to have something to say to Shu Qitian, but Shu Qitian kept closing the window, and his driving speed gradually increased, as if he wanted to get rid of Jiang Yao's entanglement.
On the other side, in a blind spot hidden by flowers and trees, another car slowly drove out.
The car was not going fast at first, but because it was blocked by trees, the owner didn't see Jiang Yao in the blind spot. In addition, after working all night and being sleepy after eating, his nerves became extremely dull, so he forgot to turn on the headlights and directly shifted to third gear.
Shu Mian, who was standing on the high platform and had everything under his eyes, heard the sound of stepping on the gas pedal. He was startled suddenly, and saw a car appeared behind Jiang Yao like a ghost, and the owner of the car was too sleepy with his eyes downcast, looking completely out of order.
Shu Mian's mind went blank for a moment, and the clothes in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. When he realized it, his body had already run towards Jiang Yao before he realized it.
I don't know if Shu Qitian really didn't see such a big Jiang Yao standing in front of his car window, or if he deliberately wanted to teach Jiang Yao a lesson, but he didn't slow down at all.
In the nick of time, Jiang Yao dully heard the roar of the accelerator, he subconsciously straightened his body, and a black car suddenly jumped out in his sight, making him stunned on the spot without any preparation, his legs stood in place as if rooted, and watched the car rush towards him.
The accident happened suddenly.
In the few seconds of this critical moment, Jiang Yao's adrenaline surged rapidly. He wanted to hide to the side, but unexpectedly the vehicle was already approaching him, and he was only three or four meters away from him in an instant. There was a burst of cold sweat on Jiang Yao's back. Before he could move his feet, the physical fear and fear made Jiang Yao subconsciously close his eyes, clenched his fists, and held his breath for an instant.
I thought I would be slightly injured, but unexpectedly a few seconds later, the expected pain did not come, but the sharp brake sound broke into the eardrum like a sharp sword. Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, a soft body rushed over with lightning speed, throwing Jiang Yao to the ground in an instant.
"!!!"
The person who jumped over at the critical moment rolled around Jiang Yao on the ground a few times, causing Jiang Yao to subconsciously open his eyes before he could even react.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a longing face came into Jiang Yao's sight. The person supporting him had tears in his clean and clear eyes, and his face, which would smile at night, now had the corners of his mouth bent downwards, with physical fear on his face, and a completely aggrieved appearance.
The car not far away slammed on the brakes, made a piercing friction sound, and stopped half a meter away from Jiang Yao.
"Shu Mian?!"
Neither Jiang Yao nor the people in the car thought that Shu Mian would come running over. Jiang Yao looked in shock at Shu Mian who was lying on top of him and her whole body was trembling, and quickly sat up, holding Shu Mian's face full of tears, and said anxiously:
"Why are you here?!"
Shu Mian's hearing aid hidden in his hair had already fallen off in the collision just now. He couldn't hear what Jiang Yao was saying, but he was trembling nervously. The tears on his face couldn't stop, and he could only say two words over and over again:
