"Heh," Yu Siqiao suddenly chuckled lowly, "If not you, then who?"
Li Shaobai subtly noticed that Yu Siqiao’s mood wasn’t as irritable as before, although he looked like he wanted to tear Mo Shu apart, but he was much calmer compared to earlier.
Facing such a gaze from Yu Siqiao, Mo Shu, knowing she was at fault, only furrowed her brows when her wrist was gripped painfully.
Her gaze gradually cooled, and she said in a deep voice, "An inside betrayer."
Then, Mo Shu raised her eyes to look at Yu Siqiao, her eyes clear as two bright mirrors, "I have always kept this set of jewelry well, knowing that jade cannot be short of moisture, I even had a special display case made for it with water included. I have always loved you so much, why would I auction off an engagement gift?"
I have always loved you so much.
The word flowed naturally, even when she said ’love,’ there was not the slightest pause.
And in that gaze, there was only coldness, not even a trace of affection.
Yu Siqiao thought he saw wrong, but upon focusing, the gaze still remained the same.
Cold, calm, with an unfamiliar resoluteness, and deeper inside, an unfathomable and gloomy mystery.
There was only the absence of the word ’love’.
Confusingly, Yu Siqiao unconsciously clenched his teeth, the fury that seemed to have slightly calmed earlier once again ignited his rationale, "Who knows what you’re trying to do? It’s not like you started being foolish yesterday; with that brain of yours, it’s not impossible for you to do something !"
Li Shaobai immediately leaped up, "Exactly, even hitting your own father in public is something you can do, so what’s selling a necklace?"
Beside them, He Yan could not sit still anymore and said, "Although Mo Shu can be a bit reckless at times, she cares a lot about Young Master Yu; it’s impossible for her to sell the necklace, as it doesn’t benefit her at all."
Li Shaobai stubbornly argued back, "How can you say that? You can’t analyze her brain using common sense."
This was a prime opportunity for his Brother Yu to escape from misery!
Even the family heirloom is up for sale, if not hers, whose engagement should be broken?
He Yan wanted to say more but was stopped by Yu Jing, "Don’t meddle, looking at this situation, Young Master Yu probably wants to take this opportunity to call off the engagement. What a rare chance this is; without harming a single soldier, there’s a fool ready to hand over their head on a platter, tsk, a big profit!"
It’s the Mo Family’s face that’s lost, but their money that’s earned; all kinds of benefits have been reaped by the Yu Family, along with gaining a large sum.
Yu Jing hit the nail on the head, and everyone around also saw it clearly, not only feeling: Young Master Yu is really cunning!
Of course, Mo Shu also understood what sort of calculations Yu Siqiao had in his heart!
This matter could be big or small, but with the relationship between Yu Siqiao and Mo Shu, it couldn’t be considered small.
And besides them, the people around didn’t know about Mo Shu’s pregnancy, as long as Yu Siqiao pretended to be unaware, the engagement could be cleanly dissolved today.
But this marriage couldn’t be called off yet! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel⟡fire.net
Not because she was reluctant about the engagement, but because she didn’t want to be wrongfully accused!
Mo Shu said, "I know what’s on your mind. You can call off the engagement if you want, but please do it tomorrow—I will prove to you that it wasn’t me!"
Hearing Mo Shu’s words, Yu Siqiao’s expression turned even more grimly cold, sardonically saying, "Who said I want to call off the engagement?"
