Chapter 70 The only person in the world who doesn't want to break off the marriage is only himself
Yu Ruoruan was slightly startled.
In the restaurant, the sounds of clinking cups and plates, footsteps, and voices could be heard from time to time.
And all the sounds disappeared in the girl's ears after the man's determined monologue, leaving only the frantic heartbeat and the tinnitus getting louder and louder.
"Yu Ruanruan, I don't want to break off the engagement with you."
"Thump-thump-thump-"
After a brief blank period, Yu Ruanruan clenched her fist hard, and the fork in her hand hit the goblet hard, making a clanging sound.
The loud noise disturbed other people in the restaurant.
The riot drew countless heads.
After a while of whispering and strange looks, Yu Ruanruan took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, and asked in a very soft voice, "Why?"
Did he really fall in love with her?
This thought flashed through her mind, and a hint of self-mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Endless bitterness spreads in the tip of my heart.
Even though Huo Xu helped her yesterday and made her feel moved for a moment, after a night of precipitation, the dopamine secreted by the man in her brain had dissipated.
She also regained consciousness again.
How can you lose your heart so easily?
If a person wants to gain the love of others, he should first learn to love himself.
So from now on, she should focus on herself instead of being repeatedly affected by this man's behavior.
Does it matter now whether he loves her or not?
What matters is how she feels at the moment!
She has suffered enough from worrying about gains and losses.
As long as your heart is not moved, there will be no heartache.
Whether this man loves her or not is no longer a topic she needs to think about.
So calm, so objective, so ruthless.
If Huo Xu hadn't recovered his mind-reading skills and heard these thoughts in her heart with his own ears, he would never have been able to match these words with Yu Ruanruan's well-behaved appearance at the moment.
The girl in front of him was wearing a school uniform, simple and elegant, her delicate face was clean and clear without makeup, and she looked at him with a hint of innocence and confusion in her almond-shaped eyes.
But who knew that this little white rabbit, who looks simple and soft on the outside, is as calm and rational as a cold-blooded animal on the inside?
this moment.
Huo Xu's heart was stabbed so hard that the pain was uncontrollable.
Does he love her?
He hasn't found the answer yet.
But she said that the answer was no longer important.
For a few seconds, he felt short of breath, his heart stopped, the blood in his body stopped flowing, his brain was deprived of oxygen, and his ears were ringing and his eyes were dizzy.
He was like a drowning man, panicking and trying to hold on to the driftwood.
But the driftwood floated far away.
The antonym of love is not hate, disgust, or fear.
But neglect, indifference, indifference...
And I, who once enjoyed all the girl's love and devotion, was finally reduced to a stranger who couldn't affect her emotions.
Huo Xu's silence lasted for a full three minutes.
It took so long that Yu Ruanruan's heart was racing at first, but later she started to feel numb. She couldn't help but take off her shoes under the dining table and move her toes.
【Is this guy constipated? 】
[If you don’t want to break off the engagement, you have to have a reason, right? Could it be that the Huo family is in financial crisis and he wants to rely on business marriage to maintain the operation of the business? No way, right? Is it so scheming? He was a woman before, but now he is a career?]
[Do I have the word ‘taken advantage of’ written on my face? Who gave him the courage? What makes him so ordinary yet so confident? 】
Huo Xu: "..."
Listening to the girl's heartfelt complaints, Huo Xu's cold and handsome face had a gloomy expression, and his temples were twitching.
I used to be called Xiao Tiantian, but now I am Mrs. Niu?
The last time he had the ability to read minds, he heard her words of praise for him in her heart. His appearance still fascinated her, he was handsome and stylish, and his voice was still low and sweet, soothing and magnetic.
Are you ordinary and confident now?
Um???
Huo Xu was very angry, but didn't know how to vent the anger and helplessness in his heart.
He didn't think deeply about the source of this emotion. He only knew that right now, at this moment, he didn't want to let go.
And will never let go.
His eyes became cold and he looked at the girl in front of him quietly. Every time he took a breath, he felt that the air was like a knife, stabbing at his heart.
Huo Xu felt that this place was probably hell.
He was in hell, and the light that could redeem him was so close, but there seemed to be a natural barrier between them, out of reach.
"Don't tell me? Or, the request you just made was just making excuses?"
Finally, Yu Ruanruan lost her patience and stood up angrily, "Huo Xu, you were once the person I was willing to love, but it was only once. Let's break off the engagement and leave the last bit of dignity to each other."
After leaving these words, Yu Ruoruan turned around and left the restaurant.
As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, she received a call from Cheng Zishan.
"Ruanruan, today your eldest brother and your third brother took turns bombarding me. I think what they said makes sense. Mom wants to ask you for confirmation for the last time. Do you really not like Xiaoxu? Do you really want to cancel this marriage?"
Cheng Zishan's cautious tone made Yu Ruanruan dumbfounded.
She knew that her mother was worried that she would say something angry in a moment, otherwise Cheng Zishan would not negotiate with the Huo family because of her short temper.
"retreat."
Yu Ruoruan's answer was concise and clear, "Hopeless love, continuing to persist is just a kind of self-torture and harm."
Cheng Zishan fell into silence for a moment, then said, "Mom knows, we will hold a press conference next Tuesday."
…
The number of customers in the restaurant is gradually decreasing.
It's closed.
Huo Xu, however, sat in his original position until the sun went down.
It was Mr. Huo's phone call that woke him up from his immersed thoughts.
"You bastard! Tell me! What did you do to Ruanruan?"
As soon as the call was connected, the old man's abuse came all over him, "I'm just traveling abroad, and I've been away from home for a few months, and you made such a mess!"
Huo Xu was playing with a cigar in his hand. The cigar was rubbed to pieces. He tore the tobacco inside one by one and denied it with a cold face, "I didn't."
"You didn't? You didn't have the Yu family who could take the initiative to cancel the engagement? When you told me about this before, I thought it was just a small fuss. Now your Aunt Cheng called me and gave me an ultimatum, saying that there will be a press conference next Tuesday.
Press conference to terminate your engagement!"
The old man spoke excitedly and was obviously very angry.
After a moment of pause, he sighed meaningfully, "You kid, you still have too little merit..."
Mr. Huo felt pity for his only grandson and was also full of guilt.
He failed to give Xiao Xu a complete and warm native family.
Because he did not have enough restraint on his children, the child had a rough life from birth.
He had such a sensual, irresponsible playboy father, and a mentally disturbed mother who was violent to him.
The scandal more than ten years ago almost destroyed the entire Huo family's foundation.
He was exhausted and worked hard to revive the family business, so the child wandered for ten years.
He is a bloodline of the Huo family and his biological grandson. If you want to ask whether Huo Zhengang feels distressed? The answer is yes.
That's why he admires and likes the little girl of the Yu family so much.
Because he could see that that girl loved Xiao Xu wholeheartedly and was the one who could give him happiness.
It's just a pity that Xiao Xu's merit is still too shallow.
He probably doesn't have these things in his life and is destined to not get a complete love.
There was clearly a precious night-light pearl in front of him, but he didn't want it, but he stubbornly asked for Yu Chengcheng's fish eye that didn't belong to him, which broke the heart of the soft little girl.
"That's all, forceful melons are not sweet. If you don't want to, just let that girl live. If you continue to pester her, it will only become a bad relationship."
Mr. Huo compromised, "I will ask my assistant to prepare a copy later. You and Ruanruan made a big fuss when they got engaged. This time the engagement is canceled, at least it must be done decently."
The coffee spoon in Huo Xu's hand clicked and was bent. He didn't expect that his grandfather would actually agree to break off the engagement!
He felt it was ironic and ridiculous.
The whole world was trying to bring them together, but she loved him unreservedly and ran to him with open arms.
It's him being coy and pretentious!
It was he who pushed her away ruthlessly without saying anything.
Now, he regrets it.
Only then did he realize that the only person in the world who didn't want to break off the engagement was himself.
"grandfather."
Huo Xufeng's eyes flashed with thought, "Can you do me a favor?"
