Chapter 1558 What about me (2)?
Old Madam Ji was truly angry. She never knew that her daughter was this muddleheaded, in fact, she had a very good idea about how clumsy Madam Ji was with her decisions but not to this point!
She was looking at the entire situation as if she was playing a round at Go.
Old Madam Ji turned to look at Liu Changnu before saying, “Chuan’er is already engaged. He is set to marry the woman from the village with whom he was rumoured to be having an affair.”
When Liu Changnu heard those words she stiffened while Ji Shixun laughed out loud. He clapped his hands and said, “Why are you saying such a thing to her, grandmother?”
He glanced at Liu Changnu who was glaring at him to make him quiet but Ji Shixun was not scared. Since the matter was already like this, why should he allow Liu Changnu to stand on the higher moral ground?
If she had been silent and agreed to marry him, he would have taken all the blame to his head and let Liu Changnu have a clear conscience but that woman kicked him away when he was down.
How could that be allowed?
Ji Shixun was not going to let that slide.
He turned to look at Old Madam Ji before saying, “Grandmother, do you think that I was alone in ruining Brother Chuan’s reputation?”
“No! Sister Changnu was with me. In fact, she was the one who came up with the plan!”
“She was the one who wanted to ruin Brother Chuan’s reputation such that she could stand above him and tell everyone that she did not make a mistake choosing me!”
Once those words fell everyone in the main hall was dumbfounded, even Ji Chuan was shocked because he never thought that someone as elegant as Liu Changnu would resort to such a tactic all for the sake of standing above him.
“Good! Very good! You were truly speaking the truth when you said that you do not care about our childhood memories!” Ji Chuan was simply beyond disgusted by Liu Changnu.
He no longer cared about the happenings that were taking place in the main hall and then turned to leave.
“Chuan’er!” Liu Changnu chased after Ji Chuan. She did not care about the look of disapproval that Old Madam Ji flashed her. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Madam Ji on the other hand was quite surprised as well but she was also quite overjoyed. With this information in her hands, she could suppress the Ji family!
She turned to look at Mother Liu and said to her, “Now, what should we do about this sister Liu? I do admit that Shixun was in the wrong but your daughter was also in the wrong. She was the one who ruined the reputation of my eldest son, shouldn’t she pay back for it.”
“You are dreaming if you think that I will let my daughter marry that bastard of yours!”
“Then I will have no choice but to file a complaint!”
Old Madam Ji watched how her daughter and the Liu family clawed and bit each other. She glanced at the mer who was silently standing on the side and stated, “Are you happy now? Having ruined my family?”
She snorted and walked away leaving MasterJi to bite his lip. All he wanted was to get his lover and nothing else, how did things turn into this mess!?
Liu Changnu chased after Ji Chuan, she was really worried that she would have to marry someone like Ji Shixun.
That mer had been used by a man who knows who else slept with that mer. What was more, if she were to marry him—— Liu Changnu would forever be worried about getting cheated on again.
“Chuan’er! Chuan’er! Listen to me!” Liu Changnu chased after Ji Chuan. She reached out to touch his wrist but the mer whirled around and shrieked,
“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!”
“Alright, alright… I will not touch you,” Liu Changnu raised her hands in the air. She knew that Ji Chuan was angry with her which was why she was willing to comply with his tantrum. “Just listen to me alright?”
“I don’t need to listen to you!” Ji Chuan scoffed. “I know what you are going to say, you want to tell me that Ji Shixun was the one who coaxed you into doing such a thing right?”
“That you were fooled by his sweet words. You said the same thing when you were found in his bed, you told me that you would give me an explanation and what kind of explanation did you hand out to me? You broke the engagement.”
Liu Changnu had no words to refute.
Back then she indeed thought that marrying Ji Shixun was better as the mer was not only doted on by his mother but also because he was not as ambitious as Ji Chuan who wanted to travel the world through the sea.
Thus when she was given a choice, she picked the one that suited her best.
Who would have thought that her decisions would come to bite her in the back like this?
“Chuan’er, I didn’t mean to do that. You know it too, I have always cared for you. I just lost my mind for a while,” Liu Changnu tried to coax Ji Chuan hoping that he would agree to marry her.
Ji Chuan smiled behind his veil and said, “It doesn’t matter if you lost your mind or your heart. Like my grandmother told you, I am already engaged.”
“What can you even do by marrying a villager?” Liu Changnu asked feeling a bit annoyed by the stubbornness of Ji Chuan. “She cannot bring you any happiness like I can.”
“Unfortunately for you—— she can keep me happy. Because even if she might be a villager, she is the sister of Madam Yu! The richest woman of her village as well as this town!”
