135: Miss Xia was speechless

Chen Hao naturally heard the various discussions of the surrounding crowd, but he chose to turn a deaf ear, scoffing with a demeanor that suggested he was the only one awake while everyone else was drunk.

With large strides, walking with an air of not recognizing anyone, Chen Hao directly arrived at the main seats where Xia Qingge and her group were located.

Xia Qingge was currently conversing in a low voice with Jiang Che, giggling continuously, amused by Jiang Che's occasional humorous jokes, and she didn't even notice Chen Hao, that unlucky fellow, approaching.

Xia Changlin, however, had noticed him long ago, and he was completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand what Chen Hao was up to.

Didn't we agree that you would wait for my introduction? Why are you in such a hurry?

And... why is this guy still dressed in such shabby clothes?

Jiang Che looked up at Chen Hao, took a small sip of white wine, and with great interest, gave Xia Qingge a wink.

Xia Qingge felt somewhat bewildered, and following the direction of Jiang Che's gaze, she finally saw Chen Hao.

Dressed shabbily, unremarkable in appearance, completely lacking in grace and manners.

This was Xia Qingge's first impression of Chen Hao.

To attend her birthday banquet dressed so shabbily, wasn't this deliberately trying to embarrass her?

And... are there any rich second-generation heirs in Linjiang that look like this guy? Why do I have no impression of him at all?

Although slightly displeased, Xia Qingge maintained her good demeanor, her vermilion lips slightly parting as she slowly spoke.

"This guest, may I ask who you are looking for?"

A guest is a guest. Although she was speechless about Chen Hao's appearance, Xia Qingge still appeared gentle, elegant, and poised, maintaining the proper demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family.

"Cough, cough... I'm here for you, my wife, Xia Qingge!"

Ignoring Xia Changlin's meaningful glance, Chen Hao lightly coughed, grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and spoke directly.

Upon hearing Chen Hao's self-declaration, Xia Changlin's forehead was covered in black lines, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he instantly covered his face, somewhat unable to bear looking.

Well, it's over.

It's better to give him some money later and quickly send this guy away.

Knowing his granddaughter extremely well, Xia Changlin naturally understood Xia Qingge's personality. She was a perfectionist, so how could she possibly accept Chen Hao, this rustic fiancé from the mountains?

"Sir, please respect yourself!"

"I, Xia Qingge, have never had a fiancé."

"Otherwise, I'll have the security guards escort you out!"

Upon hearing Chen Hao's self-declaration, Xia Qingge's face immediately darkened, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and she lightly reprimanded him, her expression displeased, and her gaze towards Chen Hao filled with disgust.

It was obvious that Xia Qingge was completely disgusted by Chen Hao's boundary-crossing self-declaration, and her impression of him plummeted instantly, her favorability dropping to negative numbers.

How could she possibly have such an ill-mannered, unremarkable fiancé?

Could this guy have been fantasizing about her for too long, become overly repressed, and gone insane?

This was the only explanation Xia Qingge could think of.

Having been rated as Linjiang University's first love campus belle, the most beautiful campus belle, and a dream lover, Xia Qingge also knew that she had many admirers at school, and among them, there were inevitably a few idiotic fools.

Naturally, Xia Qingge regarded the Chen Hao in front of her as one of those idiots, and no matter how she looked at him, she thought he was a brain-damaged fool.

"Xia Qingge is extremely disgusted with Chen Hao, emotional value +4455..."

"Xia Qingge thinks Chen Hao is an idiot, his mind isn't normal, emotional value +5566..."

...................

"I'm not talking nonsense."

"Our marriage contract was set by your grandfather back then, and I still have the marriage certificate here."

"It's written in black and white, witnessed by heaven and earth, sun and moon."

Chen Hao smiled lightly, and once again pulled out the somewhat crumpled marriage contract from his embrace, full of confidence and high spirits.

Yes, my dear wife, Xia Qingge, detest me!

The more you detest me now, the more guilty you'll feel when your impression of me changes later!

Hehehe...

"Marriage contract?"

Xia Qingge's brows furrowed even deeper. Seeing Chen Hao's confident appearance, a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and her gaze instinctively turned to Xia Changlin, seeking the old man's answer.

Although extremely helpless, Xia Changlin still nodded, and said in a deep voice.

"This matter is a long story, but Chen Hao is indeed your fiancé..."

Seeing his beloved granddaughter's face growing increasingly unsightly, Xia Changlin quickly added.

"However, these are all old sayings and should not be taken seriously. Grandpa plans to give Chen Hao a sum of money to dissolve your marriage contract."

Hearing this, Xia Qingge's expression eased considerably. She looked up at Chen Hao, gave an arrogant snort, and then turned away directly, no longer bothering with Chen Hao, leaving only a beautiful back for him.

Although the marriage contract was real, with her grandfather's assurance, Xia Qingge put aside all psychological burdens.

Anyway, it was simply impossible for her to fulfill the marriage contract.

She, the dignified eldest young lady of the Xia family, also had her own pride!

How could she possibly fancy such a savage?

Chen Hao: ......

At this moment, the most bewildered person was Chen Hao.

No, he said he would help me when I just entered, and now he's going back on his word?

Damn it, how shameless!

The old man is very cunning!

"Grandpa Xia, that's not what you said when I just came in..."

Chen Hao's face was ashen, his expression gloomy, and he instinctively clenched his fists.

Xia Changlin looked at Chen Hao with the gaze of someone looking at an idiot, feeling utterly speechless.

You yourself ignored the old man's warning, and now that things have turned out this way, you still have the nerve to question me?

Too lazy to bother with Chen Hao, Xia Changlin just rolled his eyes, didn't reply, and leisurely sipped his wine.

"Old brothers, come on, come on, drink!"

Seeing Xia Changlin's behavior, Chen Hao felt extremely depressed. Just as he was about to say some harsh words, he seemed to suddenly remember something, grinned, and warned.

"Old Master Xia, if you don't acknowledge this marriage contract, I'll directly reveal this matter to all the guests present!"

"At that time, if your Xia family still insists on breaking off the engagement, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up the mess, won't it?"

Threat, a blatant threat.

Chen Hao was never one to suffer losses; he had always been the one to take advantage of others, so how could he have suffered such a loss?

Being played for a fool by this old man, Xia Changlin, he naturally harbored resentment.

Since they had already torn off the pretense, he no longer held back.

Clearly, Chen Hao had not yet realized the impropriety of his actions.

If he had carefully listened to Xia Changlin's advice, the other party would not have directly denied it.

Xia Qingge's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at this so-called savage fiancé with displeasure. Just as she was about to get angry and scold him, Jiang Che patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

After getting up from his seat, Jiang Che smiled calmly and patiently coaxed.

"Young man, you said you want to break off the engagement with Xia Qingge?"

"You this..."

"That's right, I came to the Xia family today to break off the engagement with Xia Qingge!"

"How could I, Chen Hao, a favored son of heaven and a peerless divine doctor, be bound by a mere marriage contract?"

Seeing Jiang Che and Xia Qingge's intimate gestures, Chen Hao felt displeased. He originally wanted to say some harsh words, but when the words reached his lips, his body seemed to be out of control, and his tone immediately changed.

In an instant, Chen Hao's brain crashed. He felt a chill down his spine and looked at Jiang Che in front of him with an incredibly bewildered and terrified gaze.

Damn it, what kind of sorcery is this?
