147: break off an engagement
Luo Shaohai actually came. This man had asked her for a meeting before, but she hadn't expected him to come directly to Central Sea and appear on such an occasion.
Ye Qingyan's beautiful eyes glanced faintly at Si Yang, who looked back at her in confusion.
He didn't know Luo Shaohai.
Just then, the CEO of Hongfa took the stage to give a routine speech as the host.
It was nothing more than some polite pleasantries.
Welcoming everyone for their support and so on.
After that, the tone shifted. "This time, we are honored to have invited Mr. Su Ming, the Secretary-General of the NDRC."
"And Young Master Luo, who has traveled all the way from the capital."
"Feel free to exchange a few words later," the pot-bellied CEO of Hongfa said with a smile!
At that moment, Luo Shaohai went up on stage. "I came to Central Sea this time to use your esteemed venue to settle a grudge."
"I hope President Qian won't mind," Luo Shaohai said with a smile!
His gaze, however, was fixed firmly on Ye Qingyan.
When the CEO of Hongfa made the introduction, Si Yang already knew the other party's identity: Luo Shaohai, Ye Qingyan's fiancé.
"I am merely providing a venue for interaction. Young Master Luo, please help yourself," the CEO of Hongfa said with a smile!
A sharp look appeared in Luo Shaohai's eyes. "Ms. Ye Qingyan is here, right?" Luo Shaohai composed himself and spoke with a smile!
The eyes of the entire audience converged on Ye Qingyan.
This legitimate daughter of the Ye family was truly beautiful.
"Is he going to propose?" an uninformed woman whispered as she watched the scene.
"Luo Shaohai, what do you want?" Ye Qingyan asked bluntly.
Now that he had found her, things had to be faced eventually.
"To be honest, this Miss Ye is my fiancée, but on the eve of our engagement, Miss Ye ran away."
"I've come this time to announce one thing."
"Ye Qingyan, our marriage contract is canceled. Remember, it's not that you refuse to marry in, but that I don't want you. A damaged flower like you cannot enter the doors of my Luo family."
"Go live well with your lover!" Luo Shaohai sneered.
It must be said that after saying these words, his whole being felt refreshed.
The pent-up frustration of many days was vented in one breath.
Ye Qingyan's face turned pale. Her beautiful eyes looked faintly at Si Yang, with a glimmer of tears in them.
Si Yang sighed. As a woman, the embarrassment in such a setting was imaginable.
However, he couldn't do anything at this moment. After all, Ye Qingyan was the one who ran away first, and the man was just here to break the engagement. After all, one must be reasonable.
Was Luo Shaohai being cruel?
Not really. If you start something, you can't blame others for finishing it. People always have to pay the price for their actions.
Luo Shaohai let go of the microphone, stepped off the stage, and walked slowly toward Ye Qingyan.
He drew the gaze of almost everyone present.
Rong Jinran stood to the side, watching the scene with interest.
Her gaze was mostly fixed on Si Yang, observing him.
She wanted to see what he would do.
Si Yang's face was as calm as water, showing no waves of emotion.
"Ye Qingyan, you made me a laughingstock in the capital, so I can make you the joke of all Central Sea. How does it feel?" Luo Shaohai looked at Ye Qingyan and laughed coldly!
Ye Qingyan's pale face regained some color. "Not bad. At least from today on, I don't have to feel guilty toward you anymore. I feel completely relieved." Ye Qingyan looked at Luo Shaohai and smiled calmly.
Luo Shaohai glanced at Ye Qingyan and smiled faintly. "As expected of the Eldest Miss of the Ye Family."
"What a pity! A fine lady, yet she chose to follow a thief." Luo Shaohai sneered.
It was true that Ye Qingyan made him persistent, but in the end, it was because of her status and appearance.
But she wasn't indispensable. Love? Talking about those two words with him was too extravagant.
After speaking with Ye Qingyan, Luo Shaohai turned his gaze toward Si Yang.
"Next, we'll play slowly," Luo Shaohai looked at Si Yang and sneered!
"Oh?" Si Yang tilted his head and looked at Luo Shaohai.
It seemed that after the Old Man was about to retire, many people really stopped taking him seriously.
Had he, Si Yang, ever relied on anyone?
Looking at the worried Ye Mengwan beside him, a soft curve appeared at the corner of Si Yang's mouth.
This scene made Liu Mingyi go crazy with jealousy.
It made the resentment in Ye Qingyan's eyes grow even deeper.
The smile on Si Yang's face became even brighter as a palm slowly enlarged in Luo Shaohai's vision.
"I really don't like the way you look at me," Si Yang said with a light smile!
A slap made Luo Shaohai's head turn.
Luo Shaohai's smile became even more brilliant. "Just wait. Next, I'll see how I play you to death. You think you're still the same person you were back then?"
"The woman beside you is very beautiful." Luo Shaohai glanced at Ye Mengwan with a bright smile.
"Do you want to die?" Si Yang looked coldly at Luo Shaohai.
"Do you dare to kill me?" Luo Shaohai challenged!
Si Yang smiled. "I don't."
"Hahaha." Luo Shaohai laughed, laughing with utter abandon.
"Let's go!" Si Yang looked at Ye Mengwan and said softly!
"Okay!" Ye Mengwan nodded gently and followed Si Yang as he left.
Under the night sky, Si Yang lit a cigarette. It had to be said that Ye Qingyan was indeed sensitive.
"Targeting me?" Si Yang looked at the night sky, a smile rising on his face for no reason.
"Since that's the case, I don't mind settling all the old debts from back then together." A cold, sharp look appeared in Si Yang's eyes.
After Si Yang left, Ye Qingyan, Liu Mingyi, and even Rong Jinran left one after another.
The people present more or less caught the scent of what was happening.
They said it was a welcome banquet for Su Ming, but it was more like a Hongmen Banquet prepared for the women of the Ye family.
They had still underestimated the arrogance of that young master from the capital. He didn't have that intention at all, nor did he plan to open up the situation in such a way.
In the end, it was all just wild guesses by others.
The car drove through the night. Looking at Si Yang smoking in silence, Ye Mengwan didn't dare to speak.
After finishing the cigarette, Si Yang gave Ye Mengwan a smile.
"It's nothing," Si Yang said softly!
"Mm!" Ye Mengwan nodded gently.
The phone rang just then. Looking at the caller ID, Si Yang couldn't help but smile. The Old Man's information was truly well-informed; nothing could be hidden from him.
"Leave this matter to me."
"He's deliberately provoking you!" The Old Man's calm voice sounded over the phone.
"Is it troublesome?" Si Yang asked with a frown.
"Just live your life well." The Old Man's tone was calm.
"Actually, grudges always need to be settled. I don't mind settling it once and for all," Si Yang laughed!
"And then? Go far away overseas?"
"What about that girl Mengwan? What about the little girl?"
"Don't let everything go according to your whims. In this matter, you're ultimately the one in the wrong," the Old Man sighed!
"He shouldn't have used Wan Wan to threaten me." Si Yang smiled silently.
