Chapter 292 I Want to Give You Another Way
As soon as the word "broken engagement" was uttered, the whole building fell silent for a moment.
Soon, various discussions arose.
The brothel girls and guests who had just been humiliated by Yang Manman were now all watching the joke.
"I think this marriage should be called off. Who would want a crazy woman as a fiancée for no reason?"
"You're right. She rushed in like a mad dog, scolding and beating me. She doesn't behave like a girl at all."
"You take advantage of your high status to bully others at will. You deserve to be broken off..."
At this moment, Yang Manman didn't care about the words that were mocking her. She just gritted her teeth and glared at Li Zheng.
Although she was not happy with the engagement, even if she wanted to cancel it, she should have proposed it herself, instead of Li Zheng saying in public that he wanted to cancel the engagement with her!
"Li Zheng, you were eager to get engaged to me before. If you cancel the engagement, you must not regret it!"
Li Zheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "I have thought it through clearly. I will not regret it."
"Okay, okay! Li Zheng, you're great, but listen carefully, even if we cancel the engagement, it means I don't want you anymore. With your current behavior, you are not worthy of me at all!"
Li Zheng was extremely disappointed and only uttered two words: "It's up to you."
In Yang Manman's initial imagination, as long as she proposed to cancel the engagement, Li Zheng would be very scared and would beg her in various ways.
This cold attitude at this moment was like a slap in her face. Yang Manman could not bear it and yelled at Li Zheng.
"Li Zheng, remember this, even if you beg me like a dog in the future, I will never forgive you!"
These humiliating words were like sharp blades stabbing Li Zheng's heart, making it bloody. But in the end, he just looked at Yang Manman in silence without saying a word.
Yang Manman ran out angrily without getting a response. She no longer cared about Duke Yang's attitude. She just wanted to go back quickly, cancel the engagement first, and humiliate Li Zheng.
When Yang Manman left, Yue Chan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw that her goal had been achieved, and she felt relieved, but she still looked pitiful when she spoke.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this between you and Miss Yang."
Li Zheng looked at Yuechan lying on the ground and reached out to help her up. "Yuechan, this is not your fault. I misjudged her. I really never thought that she would be like this."
Yuechan clung to Li Zheng's arm, "Mr. Li, I know you care about Miss Yang. Why don't you go find her again and have a good talk with her. If you can reconcile, you don't have to worry about me. Even if... I can't see you again in this life, I am willing to do that."
Seeing Yuechan always considerate of him and showing such tenderness, Li Zheng felt more and more moved.
"No need for that. I've already said so much, there's naturally no room for negotiation. As for you, Yuechan..."
Li Zheng held Yuechan's hand and promised.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let her bully you again. No, not just her, I will definitely protect you and won't let anyone bully you."
Yuechan looked at Li Zheng in surprise, and the next moment she was moved to tears and leaned into his arms.
"Mr. Li, how could Yuechan deserve such favor from you?"
"Okay, don't be sad." Li Zheng comforted Yuechan gently. The disappointment and pain of breaking up with Yang Manman just now seemed to be relieved a lot because of Yuechan's admiration.
He was confused before and always felt that Yang Manman was the most special woman in the world. All other well-behaved, gentle and affectionate women looked vulgar compared to Yang Manman.
But now he realized that Yang Manman's temperament was really unacceptable!
On the second floor, behind the west pillar, Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue had a clear view of everything that had just happened.
"After all, she is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Is Yang Manman really so confused that she can't see the situation just now at all?" Chu Jingyue couldn't help but speak.
Even for the sake of the family's reputation, it shouldn't be so ugly.
Moreover, since the Duke's Mansion had arranged a marriage between her and Li Zheng, it must have been determined to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion and use the real power in Prime Minister Li's hands to consolidate the Duke's Mansion's position.
But Yang Manman ignored all this. Not only did she keep talking about breaking off the engagement, but she also humiliated Li Zheng.
Jiang Suining shook his head. "She may not understand the situation, but she is just too confident."
"confidence?"
"Yes, she was confident that Li Zheng liked her, so she never thought that when she threatened to break off the engagement, he would actually agree. And when she believed that Li Zheng was really willing to break off the engagement, anger and resentment clouded her mind."
For Yang Manman, Li Zheng is the person who always stands behind her and never blames her even when his leg is broken.
She enjoyed Li Zheng's admiration and preference, and vented her temper without caring about anything else. In her opinion, no matter what she said or did, Li Zheng would stand on her side in the end.
However, this time, she was disappointed. Li Zheng's agreement to cancel the engagement caught her off guard. In front of Li Zheng, she lost the status of being tolerated no matter what she did and being superior at all times. This was probably the most unacceptable thing for Yang Manman.
Chu Jingyue thought about Jiang Suining's words and nodded in agreement, "So, rather than saying that Yang Manman likes Li Zhen and cares about him and doesn't want to see him come to the brothel, it's better to say that Yang Manman is unwilling to accept that the man who has always loved her suddenly has another woman by his side."
Chu Jingyue looked at Yuechan downstairs.
"However, I have to say that this woman named Yuechan is quite powerful."
Jiang Suining's gaze remained on Yuechan, and upon hearing that, he curled his lips slightly.
"It's really great."
Downstairs, Li Zheng and Yuechan comforted each other for a while, then left some silver for Mother Wu as compensation for Yang Manman's trouble today, and then left the brothel.
Yuechan didn't insist on him staying, but watched him leave obediently and gently.
Of course, unlike before, this time Li Zheng promised to visit Yuechan again tomorrow.
As Li Zheng left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Yuechan touched the wound on her face and walked upstairs with a smile on her face.
Jiang Suining stood on the stairs on the second floor, looked at Yue Chan who appeared, and called out.
"Miss Yuechan."
Yuechan looked at Jiang Suining. She didn't know him and a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, but when she saw that he was well-dressed and had an outstanding temperament, she bowed.
"May I ask who you are, young lady?"
"My surname is Jiang."
"Miss Jiang, do you have anything to say?" Yuechan asked.
Jiang Suining smiled gently, "I want to provide Miss Yuechan with another way."
