Chapter 23: The Lunatic And The Lunatic (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
Loathing, disgust, abhorrence… Even though she was only thirteen at the time, she could still understand the emotions within his gaze.
He disliked her, and a very great deal of dislike at that.
It was then that she realized that there was a great distance between him and her.
As time passed and she grew up, she eventually came to learn that this distance wasn’t the only thing that stood between them.
From the very start, they were from two completely different worlds. He had come from a wealthy and noble family whereas she’d been born into a poor and humble household. If not for the promises their grandfathers had made back then, their worlds would have never crossed.
While her family condition wasn’t so poor that she starved, it wasn’t wealthy enough to provide her with good living conditions either. As such, she tended to be slightly thinner than an average person, but she was by no means ugly.
Unlike him, she couldn’t wear a different set of beautiful and expensive clothes every day, and most of what she owned were hand-me-downs from an older relative. They were a little old, but they couldn’t be considered as dirty…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for shabby-looking…
It must be said that his words had really cut deep into her younger self’s dignity.
As such, even though he had eventually agreed to the child betrothal under the coercion of his grandfather, she had never once approached him as his fiancée. In school, she never spoke of their relationship to outsiders. Even the red packet money that Grandpa Lin had given to her all these years, she hadn’t touched it at all.
Recalling these past events, Shi Yao pressed her lips together.
She didn’t know what had gone wrong, but she wasn’t willing to stand idly by and allow him to frame her as he wished. However, she didn’t want to fight with him either. Thus, she chose to turn around and leave silently.
Unfortunately, her actions only served to fuel the rage burning in Lin Jiage’s heart.
She’s the cause of this mess, and yet, she’s just going to leave as if it’s got nothing to do with her?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage’s hand reached forward to grab Shi Yao’s wrist.
She was walking quickly, so Lin Jiage’s hand missed and pulled the bag in her hand instead.
His movement was extremely forceful, and with a loud ‘ shua ‘, the bag was torn apart—the four slices of cake packed inside splattered onto the muddy ground.
Shi Yao froze as she stiffly looked down at the cake slices on the ground.
The cake is no longer edible…
Shi Yao subconsciously clenched her fists with rage.
She stared at the cake on the ground for a very long time before she raised her head to glare angrily at Lin Jiage, “I’ll tell you one last time—I didn’t meet Grandpa Lin, I didn’t complain about you to him, and I have no intentions of playing hard to get!
“Also, you shouldn’t be so narcissistic and think that everyone likes you. I don’t like you in the least, and I’ve never thought about marrying you!
“So, don’t go overboard, or else…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShi Yao had always been an obedient child, and she rarely argued with others. She had to rack her brain for a very long time before she could come up with something that she felt was extremely vicious, “…or else you might starve to death!
“Also, did you see those messages I sent you in the last two days? Do you need me to repeat myself?”
Shi Yao really started reading back the message word for word, “When do you plan on telling your family that our engagement is canceled?
“So, can you give me an exact time here? Don’t think that I’m unaware that you already have a girlfriend!
“Is it really a good thing to carry on such a meaningless connection with me when you already have a girlfriend? Don’t you think you’re letting her down?”
