Due to the dim lighting in the forest, it was significantly brighter in the direction that Lin Jiage had come from, so Shi Yao was unable to see his expression clearly just now.

However, being this close, under the dim lighting from the nearby streetlamp, she found that his complexion was awful.

Didn’t he invite her out to discuss the cancelation of their engagement?

He should be happy that he can be with Belle Qin…

Unable to comprehend the situation, Shi Yao’s frown deepened.

It was also clear that Lin Jiage’s patience had worn thin, and before Shi Yao could reply, he had already spoken once more with the same biting tone, “Doing one thing in front of me and another behind my back, you sure are a scheming person!”

One thing in front of him? Another behind his back? Scheming?

What in the world is he talking about?

Shi Yao was completely confused by the situation, and there was a slightly dazed tone to her words, “What do you mean? I don’t think I know what you’re talking about…”

“Don’t know what I’m talking about?” As if provoked by Shi Yao’s words, Lin Jiage sneered coldly, “Don’t bother trying that on me, you should know very well what I’m talking about! On one hand, you message me asking to cancel our engagement, but on the other, you go to my grandfather behind my back to complain about me. I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!”

It was indeed true that she’d messaged him about the cancelation, but complaining to Grandpa Lin behind his back… She hadn’t met Grandpa Lin since the Spring Festival, so when would she have the opportunity to complain about Lin Jiage to Grandpa Lin behind his back?

“Are you misunderstanding something here? I haven’t met Grandpa Lin recently so how could I possibly complain to him?!”

“Still feigning ignorance? Grandfather told me that you went to him with tears in your eyes, saying that I wanted to cancel the engagement!”

That afternoon, Lin Jiage was playing basketball when he suddenly received a call urging him to return home. Yet, as soon as he stepped through the doors, his grandfather had thrown a teacup at him before he could even say a single word. Afterward, he was forced to go through a humbling dressing-down. As these memories emerged in his mind once more, he felt his fury intensifying.

“If you didn’t want to cancel the engagement, then you shouldn’t have sent me that message in the first place. Is there really a point to living such a fake life?

“Or was it intentional? Were you trying to catch my attention, playing hard to get?

“Let me tell you this right here and right now! There are many women who have tried that on me, but you’re the only one who’s left me feeling so utterly disgusted!”

As Lin Jiage’s words became increasingly overboard, Shi Yao was reminded of the day she entered into the Lin Family’s grand old residence six years ago. Grandpa Lin had pointed to the humbly-dressed her and turned to the resplendently-dressed him and said, ” Jiage, allow Grandfather to formally introduce you to your fiancée, Shi Yao. ”

Back then, he was only fifteen, and there was still a hint of youth in between his delicate brows.

Back then, he was so pretty that she likened him to the dolls she had seen in the display cabinet, and she couldn’t help but feel fond of him.

Back then, her entire attention was on him.

But his reaction right after Grandpa Lin introduced her had hurt her deeply.

As if looking at a repulsive piece of trash, he turned to Grandpa Lin and yelled indignantly, ” I don’t want to! Such an ugly, dirty, and shabby-looking girl, I don’t want such a fiancée! ”

Of course, as soon as the words left his mouth, Grandpa Lin immediately taught him a lesson.

Grandpa Lin had spent his life in the military, so his blows were particularly heavy. Yet, under such a harsh beating, Lin Jiage hadn’t let out a single sound.

In the middle of the beating, he had shot her a glance which she could still remember even to this day.
