Chapter 188 (1/2)

Old Mister Jing’s words makes the atmosphere suddenly turns cold. It’s even more silent than the previously when everyone knows that Jing Bo Yuan will not appear.

Every members of Jing family are confused, except Jing Zong.

Old Mister Jing looks at everyone confused stare and anger, but he just braces himself to finish it: “As for the engagement, for the moment it’ll be cancelled. Qiao Qiao, return me your engagement ring, later on Ye Ye will give you prettier one as a compensation……”

Old Mister Jing feels that moment is the most embarrassing moment in his life.

“What do you mean? At first you guys as Jing family mentioned to us about this engagement. This kind of simple engagement, for our daughter’s happiness, we just endure it. Jing Bo Yuan, the main actor, doesn’t appear and you asked his Mama to give the ring to our daughter, now you want to cancel the engagement, are you regarding us as monkeys? I cannot accept this!”

Huang Wei Juan is so furious. She slaps the table. “Don’t think that your Jing family is so great that you can bully us. Today you need to give us a satisfying explanation, if not I’ll not let this go!”

This time Gu Xing De doesn’t stop Huang Wei Juan, it’s clear that he is angry too.

Gu Qiao’s family members also show their sour face.

The engagement just happened that it’s just being cancelled. It’s not only humiliate Gu Qiao but also the family.

“Lao Xian Sheng (Old Mister), your action is wrong. Our Qiao Qiao is a good and reputable woman. Today how can she be treated in this kind of way. Jing family indeed is a rich and powerful, you guys think highly of your reputation but if this news spreads outside, I’m afraid it’ll cause a great sensation.”

“Yes, if you don’t want this engagement to happen, why you plan this? Are you joking?”

“If you do something like this, what will happen to Qiao Qiao in the future, you should give us a satisfying explanation.”

“Right, you should. Gu family is not as powerful as Jing family, but we also have our reputation.”

Old Mister Jing indeed is wrong this time.

He maintains his calm and let Gu family members talk with each other.

The atmosphere turns serious.

Jing family members are also a bit confused about the current condition. They don’t know what should they do or talk.

After a while of silence.

Jing Zong stands up and raises his glass of wine. He says politely: “No matter what is the reason. The engagement today is cancelled. For this matter, indeed our Jing family is wrong. We will not avoid to take responsibility. What compensation are you looking for, please tell us directly. As long it’s not excessive, Jing family will try its best to do it.”

He simply means that no matter what the marriage will not happen, he wants Gu family to say their conditions.

Based on Jing family’s high position, they can get lots of benefits.

Gu family members are looking at each other, they start to think.

Huang Wei Juan’s anger face starts to calm down. She starts to think and turns her head to look at Gu XIng De. She says coldly: “Our daughter’s reputation in a single day just suffer a great damage, tell me how will Jing family compensate us?”

Gu Qiao lowers her head and doesn’t say anything. Her body starts to tremble when she hears her mother’s words.

Zhoa You Jia could feel sadness on her aura. He hates himself that he cannot hug her to comfort her.

Qiao Qiao……

Jing Zong understands Huang Wei Juan’s intention. He smiles: “The thing has ended this way, what do you think we should solve it?”

Huang Wei Juan glances at Gu xing De again, Gu Xing De drinks his wine. Then he speaks up: “We are Gu Qiao’s father and mother. Today Gu Qiao receive a great humiliation. We as parents, have also experienced something as if it had happened to ourself. Let’s think in our position. If it’s your daughter that is played during her engagement day, what is your feeling?”

Gu Xing De is reasonable.

Jing Xong looks at Gu Xing De and looks at Gu Qiao: “Qiao Qiao, you always someone that is sensible. You know your place well. You are a good kid, but our A Yuan has no good fortune to deserve you. Don’t worry this break off an engagement, I believe everyone here will not spread it out.”

“Of course.” Someone says it.

Jing Zong smiles and continues: “Qiao Qiao, I think you understand A Yuan’s feeling…..”

Gu Qiao suddenly stands up. Her eyes are full of tear. It falls down drop by drop.

“Jing Bo Bo (Uncle Jing), don’t talk anymore. I understand, I really understand. It’s just my own wishful thinking. It’s my karma of my own action. It’s unrelated with anyone. he doesn’t like me, I also know it. Today let’s think that there’s no engagement, this never happens. I have nothing to do with him.”

She says it and raises her wine glass. She looks around and says her apology: “I, as a junior, ask forgiveness for my wrong, I’m sorry that I waste your half day.”

She finishes her wine. Then she takes off the ring and places it on the table. Then she pushes her chair and just leaves without even wearing her coat. She just runs away with her sleeveless short dress.

Along the way she keeps on bumping into several waiters.

Zhao You Jia follows her and stops her on the roadside. He drapes his coat on her shoulder.

Her face is full of tear, she starts to struggle.

“Qiao Qiaok, don’t be like this!”

Gu Qiao loses one of her shoe when she runs. She then falls down to the ground. The weather in Jing City is so cold now. Her skin starts to turn purple, yet she doesn’t feel cold. She just sits there and cries silently.

Zhao You Jia carries her up and takes her to the parking area. He puts her inside his car and opens the heater.

Gu Qiao just sits down there with his empty stare. She is quiet.

“Qiao Qiao…”

Carlton hotel, private room.

After Gu Qiao leaves, the other family members of Jing and Gu family starts to leave successively. Except Jing family internal family and Gu Xing De and his wife.

Before they leave, Jing Zong orders them to not spread this thing out. Everyone agrees and promises him.

Then Jing Zong speaks without reservation: “Everyone is sensible person, I think I don’t need to talk beat around the bush. The matter is in this step, I think you should think of how to get benefit. I think you are smart.”

Huang Wei Juan is sitting there and looks at Gu Xing De.

Though Huang Wei Juan is strong and bossy but in every critical moment she still needs Gu Xing De’s idea.

Gu Xing De smokes his cigarette and thinks about something.
