Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 5 - Maybe Call Off This Marriage

At this moment, Xia Yinian was only wrapped in a men's shirt, her slender legs appearing unusually pale and vulnerable in the air.

Just eighteen years old, she was as beautiful as a blooming flower, her slightly pale face looking even more pitiable under the light.

If it were in a room, just the two of them, Xia Yinian's attire would be a fatal temptation for any man.

But now, she was in the side hall, in front of a crowd of people!

"Nian Nian, you actually... actually did such a thing!"

Xia Chuxue, her half-sister, couldn't help but gasp after her initial shock: "Nian Nian, how could you... Oh my God! What are we going to do with you in such a state?"

She couldn't help but look back, and in the crowd, a young man was sitting on the sofa in the side hall, next to Old Master Xia.

He had an air of cool elegance, with handsome features that were cold and noble, and his indifferent eyes showed not a ripple of emotion.

He was now looking indifferently at Xia Yinian, his sexy, attractive thin lips pursed, saying nothing.

Old Master Xia stood up with a jolt after the shock, pointing at Xia Yinian, his finger trembling with rage.

"You... you shameless girl! You..."

"Dad, don't get excited, take care not to harm your health!" Xia Liyuan, Xia Yinian's father, hurried over to assist him.

But Old Master Xia's expression darkened, and he vented his anger onto him: "What a fine daughter you've raised!"

"Dad, I..."

But Old Master Xia had already turned away, looking instead at the young man still seated on the sofa, his face full of apologies.

"Ling Qian, it is my Xia Family's failure in education that led to such a granddaughter, making a joke in front of you!"

Old Master Xia appeared to be full of apologies, but quickly turned the conversation: "Ling Qian, what do you think about this, shall we... change the fiancée?"

Change the fiancée! Old Master Xia easily put forth such a suggestion!

The people present had mixed emotions, yet no one from the Xia Family dared to utter a sound.

The Xia Family and the Gu Family were longstanding friends. Old Master Xia was once an assistant to Old Master Gu, and they shared a deep friendship.

They had made a verbal agreement that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family would marry one of the granddaughters from the Xia Family.

After the granddaughters were born, their birth charts were sent to Old Master Gu, who took a fancy to Xia Yinian right away.

And so, the marriage was decided.

Remarkably, Gu Family's Young Master Gu Lingqian, who had not even met Xia Yinian, did not oppose this matrimonial arrangement.

Rumors had it that Gu Lingqian was a gentle person, and indeed, he was gentle to such an extent, starkly different from the arrogant character typical of aristocratic sons.

Now, in response to Old Master Xia's suggestion, Gu Lingqian remained calm, replying at ease: "This matter, Grandpa will have the final say."

That is to say, he actually did not agree to change his fiancée, even after seeing Xia Yinian's "scandalous" demeanor!

"Young Master Ling..." Xia Chuxue walked over, her face flushed, and said softly: "It is our Xia Family's Nian Nian who is at fault. If Young Master Ling is unhappy and wants to break off the engagement, our Xia Family will have no complaints."

Her gentle and generous demeanor was the epitome of a noble lady!

Yet Xia Yinian felt like bursting into laughter.

Xia Chuxue, is this the reason behind your scheme tonight? To make Gu Lingqian cancel the engagement so you can take the place as Young Master Ling's fiancée?

"I have done nothing to wrong Young Master Ling."

Xia Yinian's voice, at such a moment, was exceptionally cold: "Tonight's incident was a trap set up by Sister Chuxue."
