Chapter 3: Resolutely Breaking Off the Engagement, Showing No Mercy
Wang Haoran drove to the Liu family home. Having been informed, Liu Yunshuang’s parents were already waiting.
“Haoran, come in quickly!”
Liu Yunshuang’s father, Liu Zhong, with his square face and dignified appearance, now wore a broad smile, looking amiable.
Liu Yunshuang’s mother, Zhang Yijuan, was also very satisfied with this son-in-law, constantly showering him with warmth and concern. After all, he was wealthy, handsome, capable, devoted, and respectful to his elders. What parents wouldn’t want such a good match for their daughter?
But Liu Yunshuang just didn’t like him. She was very cold towards Wang Haoran and even threw tantrums over it, running off to live in the school dormitory. This forced Liu Zhong and his wife to lower themselves as elders, fearing that this good son-in-law wouldn’t be able to stand their daughter’s temper and would leave.
After entering the house and sitting down, Liu Zhong noticed that only Wang Haoran had come. He had already informed his daughter, and Haoran would definitely pick her up. Thinking of something, his expression turned unpleasant.
“Haoran, is Shuang’er being unreasonable again?”
Zhang Yijuan also chimed in, “Haoran, don’t mind her. Shuang’er is just spoiled by us. When she comes back, I’ll definitely give her a good talking to!”
“Uncle, Auntie, you’ve misunderstood.” Wang Haoran said meaningfully, “Maybe Yunshuang is tutoring one of her good students again and forgot the time!”
Although Wang Haoran and Liu Yunshuang had clashed several times over Lin Ming, they both tacitly avoided mentioning it to their elders. Therefore, Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan didn’t know about Lin Ming and naturally didn’t understand the implication of Wang Haoran’s words.
However, they would soon find out.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Yunshuang finally returned.
As soon as she entered, she glared at Wang Haoran, who was getting along well with her parents, then heavily threw her bag onto the sofa and sat next to Zhang Yijuan, fuming.
“My dear daughter, what’s wrong? Who upset you again?”
“Ask him!”
Seeing Liu Yunshuang pointing at Wang Haoran, Liu Zhong spoke to Zhang Yijuan first, “Wife, look, this is all because you spoiled her. She’s so grown up, yet still so impolite!”
“Dad!”
Hearing Liu Zhong’s scolding, Liu Yunshuang felt wronged. Whose side were they on anyway?!
Wang Haoran chuckled as he watched Liu Yunshuang, then took out the documents he had prepared and turned serious.
“Uncle, Auntie, I actually have something important to tell you this time.”
Seeing Wang Haoran’s demeanor, Liu Yunshuang panicked a little. If her parents knew that they had quarreled over a student, they would definitely force her to resign.
“Wang Haoran! We can resolve anything ourselves!”
Ignoring her, Wang Haoran continued, “I’ve decided to break off my engagement with Yunshuang.”
“…Haoran, what did you say?!”
Hearing these words, both Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan were shocked. The last time Wang Haoran visited, they were still discussing when the two would get married, his words full of love and anticipation. What had happened today?
“Haoran, did Shuang’er do something to wrong you? Tell us, we’ll help you get even!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Dad! Mom!” Hearing her parents, once again, immediately put the blame on her without a second thought, Liu Yunshuang couldn’t bear it anymore.
Usually, in front of her students, she was mature and calm, but in front of her parents and Wang Haoran, she couldn’t help but act out.
“I didn’t do anything to wrong him! It’s him, he’s always unreasonable!”
“Just because I helped a male student with his homework, he broke the boy’s hand! I even paid for the medical expenses!”
“He’s a senior in high school, his family is very poor, and he has the college entrance exam in a few months. He’s ruined the boy’s life!”
Liu Yunshuang became more and more aggrieved.
“After we get married, am I not even allowed to see my dad?!”
Hearing their daughter’s extremely aggrieved voice, the couple didn’t know who to believe. Their daughter was usually a bit willful, but she never lied.
But Wang Haoran didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing either. Liu Zhong had investigated Wang Corporation and knew that Wang Haoran was usually very kind to people and had never used his power to bully others.
“Um… Shuang’er, is there some misunderstanding between you and Haoran? Just tell us what happened!”
“Yes, Haoran, you too. It’s best to talk things out!”
“There’s no misunderstanding.” Wang Haoran’s expression remained calm.
“Although we only have a verbal engagement, I feel it’s better to explain the situation to Uncle and Auntie personally.”
“Since Yunshuang hates me so much, let’s officially break off the engagement.”
“Uncle, don’t worry, the cooperation between our two families will not be affected.”
“However, the specific development plan for the land in South City may need to be renegotiated.”
Wang Haoran finished speaking methodically. Seeing that Liu Zhong was about to persuade him again, he immediately handed the documents in his hand to Liu Zhong.
“Uncle, you’ll understand after reading this.”
“I’m determined to break off this engagement!”
Seeing Wang Haoran’s resolute manner, Liu Zhong swallowed his words and began to read the document.
Wang Haoran took the opportunity to stand up, preparing to leave the Liu family home.
“Hey, Haoran, don’t go yet, stay for dinner! Auntie is simmering your favorite soup in the kitchen!”
Wang Haoran politely declined Zhang Yijuan’s invitation.
“No thank you, Auntie. I have something to do at home, so I’ll go back first.”
Then he looked at Liu Yunshuang.
“From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
After speaking, he walked out of the Liu family home.
Liu Yunshuang, sitting on the sofa, watching Wang Haoran successfully break off the engagement and resolutely leave, for some reason, couldn’t feel happy. There was a sense of loss in her heart.
But after hearing his last two sentences, an unknown anger burned in her heart.
Something to do at home? There’s only you at home, you eat alone, what could you possibly have to do?!
Using such a lame excuse, did he really not want to stay at my house?
Fine, don’t stay then, who cares?!
Liu Yunshuang attributed her anger to the fact that she should have been the one to break off the engagement, but now it seemed like she was the one who had done something wrong.
Muttering a few more curses at Wang Haoran, Liu Yunshuang then looked curiously at the document in Liu Zhong’s hand.
Wang Haoran said it contained the reason for breaking off the engagement. What could it be?
Liu Yunshuang never thought it would be because of her.
Of course, she also felt that Wang Haoran wasn’t the kind of person who would spread rumors. So what could this thick stack of documents be about?
Wanting to ask, she saw Liu Zhong’s face darkening.
Liu Yunshuang couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
“Dad?”
Unexpectedly, Liu Yunshuang’s words were like lighting a fuse.
“Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have such a shameless daughter like you!”
