"Breaking off the engagement..." Chen Xuan looked at Gao Yao seriously, then at the rest of the Gao Family, and nodded, saying, "Although my Shiniang told me that you all shamelessly insisted on this engagement back then, I accept this outcome of breaking it off now."
"Hmph, country bumpkin, what can you do if you don't accept it? Do you still want to resist?" Gao Xueqing said dismissively. Now that even Jiang Ye Jiang Xiaotang had come to their Gao Family to celebrate a birthday, she felt even more superior.
Old Master Gao said to Jiang Xiaotang, "Jiang Ye, a little farce. You must be laughing at us."
Jiang Xiaotang glanced at Chen Xuan, a cold sneer in his heart, and said, "You Gao Family's matters, you resolve them yourselves first."
"Thank you, Jiang Ye." Old Master Gao was delighted in his heart, but when he looked at Chen Xuan, all his joy vanished. He said coldly, "Chen Xuan, right? The engagement I made with your Shiniang back then was just a joke. I didn't expect you to take it seriously. However, I am not an ungrateful person. Your Shiniang saved my life back then, and I should repay her. Yaoyao, give him a check for one hundred thousand."
Gao Yao nodded and took a check from her bag, but she didn't hand it to Chen Xuan personally. Instead, she threw it directly in front of Chen Xuan. For her, any contact with this country bumpkin Chen Xuan would make her feel disgusted.
"Your Shiniang saved my grandfather's life back then. This one hundred thousand check is heavy enough for you rural people. Consider it as medical expenses for your Shiniang saving my grandfather," she said arrogantly.
Chen Xuan looked at the check at his feet. He didn't bend down to pick it up.
Seeing this, Jiang Wushuang frowned. Although she disliked Chen Xuan a little, Gao Yao's way of humiliating him made her dislike her even more.
Jiang Xiaotang's heart was burning with anger. He wished he could slaughter everyone in the Gao Family, but for now, he had to endure it, because he wanted to see what other shameless things the Gao Family would do to his lifesaver.
Seeing Chen Xuan unmoved, Wu Lili said with a superior air, "Country bumpkin, what's in front of you isn't just a piece of paper, but a check for one hundred thousand. But you, a bumpkin from the countryside, probably haven't even seen a check. I advise you to pick it up. One hundred thousand is a huge fortune for rural people like you. You wouldn't even earn that much in a year of hard work."
"Haha, bumpkin, this is one hundred thousand. You've probably never seen so much money in your life, have you? If I were you, I'd pick up this one hundred thousand now and leave the Gao Family," Gao Xueqing mocked with a laugh.
Gao Meifeng also said, "Poor ghost, pick it up quickly. It's not easy for people from the countryside like you to earn one hundred thousand."
Humiliation! This was blatant humiliation!
A bunch of ungrateful, dog-faced ingrates!
Chen Xuan's heart was filled with anger. He looked at the one hundred thousand check at his feet, making no move. If he picked up that one hundred thousand, not only would he be humiliated, but his Shiniang Lin Su Yi would also be humiliated by these ungrateful, untrustworthy people!
"Heh heh, a nobody without self-awareness deserves to be humiliated. This is the tragedy of a nobody. Faced with someone stronger than him, he's even worse than an ant, with no power to resist."
"Although the Gao Family did make this engagement, it's wishful thinking and a pipe dream for someone who isn't strong enough to expect the Gao Family to honor it."
"Young man, one hundred thousand is not a small sum. With this money, you might even be able to start a small business to support your family. Now this windfall is right in front of you, why not pick it up?"
The guests present all looked at Chen Xuan with schadenfreude, fanning the flames and teasing a small-time country bumpkin. They didn't have to worry about any consequences.
Jiang Xiaotang also looked at 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 truly someone who would bend for such a small amount of money, he wouldn't have just left after curing his illness on the train.
"Heh heh, Niangmen, so your grandfather's life is only worth this one hundred thousand in your eyes!" Chen Xuan sneered. He no longer had any good feelings for these Gao Family members.
Gao Yao frowned and said, "What, you think it's too little?"
"Alright, name your price. But I'll tell you upfront, take the money and get out of my Gao Family, because seeing you for even one more second makes me feel disgusted."
Seeing him made her feel disgusted?
You son of a bitch, you think Xiao Ye cares about you, do you?
"Heh heh, the Gao Family's threshold is indeed high. My Shiniang shouldn't have been so compassionate back then..." Chen Xuan smiled. He walked over and stomped on the one hundred thousand check, saying coldly, "I will leave your Gao Family, but this money is too dirty. You should keep it for yourselves. Also... you can break off the engagement, but I... will also divorce you!"
Divorce you!
These three words were like a needle piercing Gao Yao's heart, and like a slap fiercely landing on the faces of the Gao Family members.
They never expected this young man from the countryside to dare to say such bold words.
Divorce the Gao Family's Young Lady!
Did he really want to provoke the Gao Family?
He must be tired of living!
Jiang Xiaotang had a smile on his face. This counterattack... was quite good.
"Damn ant, you're tired of living!" Zhou Jian's face was frosty. If he divorced Gao Yao, wouldn't he, Zhou Jian, become a trash collector?
"Little beast, today I will definitely have someone tear your mouth apart. Come on..."
"Divorce my Gao Family's Young Lady, to humiliate my Gao Family like this, you damned dog, you won't leave my Gao Family alive today!"
Old Master Gao's eyes were sinister. Originally, he had a tiny bit of apology in his heart for Chen Xuan, but now it was completely gone. Today, he must make Chen Xuan pay the price, otherwise, how could his Gao Family establish itself in Eastern Mausoleum?
The Gao Family was enraged!
Watching a group of bodyguards pour in from outside, the guests present all knew that the young man who dared to humiliate the Gao Family today would certainly not have an easy time.
He might even lose his life.
After all, with the Gao Family's capabilities, it was too easy to kill someone, let alone a powerless and insignificant country boy!
In an instant, the Gao Family's bodyguards all came behind Old Master Gao.
Old Master Gao stared at Chen Xuan with sinister eyes and said sharply, "For the sake of your Shiniang saving my life back then, I'll give you one chance. Kneel and apologize, and I'll let you leave the Gao Family unharmed."
Kneel and apologize?
What kind of nobodies are you Gao Family?
Xiao Ye could piss and wipe you all out!
Chen Xuan sneered in his heart. He shook his head and said, "In this life, I don't kneel to heaven or earth, only to my Shiniang. You Gao Family members are not qualified to make me kneel. Since your Gao Family gave me an outcome, similarly, I also want to give you an outcome. This is very reasonable and fair, isn't it?"
"Take him down!" Old Master Gao could no longer contain the anger in his heart.
At his command, the Gao Family's bodyguards immediately moved to act.
However, just then, Jiang Xiaotang stepped forward. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the Gao Family's bodyguards were immediately shaken and sent flying backward.
"Today, whoever dares to make a move, don't blame me, Jiang Xiaotang, for being impolite!"
Seeing this, the guests who were originally prepared to watch the show were shocked.
Old Master Gao and the others also looked at Jiang Xiaotang in a daze, "Jiang Ye, why are you doing this?"
"If he divorces her, he divorces her. Do you Gao Family members have an opinion?"
