Chapter 1008: The Man’s Heart Is Iron

A servant knocked on the gate and went in to pass on the message.

Liu Yingqi smiled and said, "Then uncle will go first and not disturb you young people talking."

Yan Fu bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Liu Yingqi got on his luxurious carriage and went away in the afterglow of the setting sun under the protection of two teams of guards.

Just like this afterglow, it looks brilliant, but I don't know how long it can last.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission, "Xuan Huaibo is such a person, how could your family have this marriage before?"

Yan Fu looked at the half-open gate quietly and replied in a voice transmission, "The marriage was arranged by my grandfather and Miss Liu's grandfather. And Xuan Huaibo...he was not like this before."

How much things have changed, all goes without saying.

Soon,

the gate opened.

No one spoke.

Behind the gate, stood a woman with a weak temperament.

There was a touch of spring on her willow-leaf eyebrows, and a little bit of insoluble sorrow in her autumn eyes.

She stood there, like a wisp of wind, as if she was about to fly away at any time.

Yan Fu opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Jiang Wang remained silent, and the servants of Liu Mansion were even more silent.

Even the sunset light falling on the small courtyard seemed to become bleak.

Yan Fu moved forward and finally said: "Miss Liu, I..."

"Master Yan is standing there." Liu Xiu Zhang said: "If you have anything to say, let's talk across the courtyard door, so as not to let others gossip."

"I..."

"Isn't that why you came?"

"...Yes. That's fine."

"What's the matter with Master Yan?"

"Some gossip, I don't know if you have heard it..."

"Look, I live here." Liu Xiu Zhang's eyes moved slightly left and right, looking at this lonely courtyard: "What I see and hear every day is only the breeze and the bright moon. How can it compare to the hustle and bustle of Linzi?"

Yan Fu lowered his eyes slightly, and did not dare to look directly at The woman across the door said slowly, "Many people say that since... you have been too sad and have been crying every day..."

"Mr. Yan." Liu Xiuzhang's beautiful face was expressionless, "There is nothing to gossip about. You and I have known each other since childhood and often played together. Since we were young, adults have said that we... were just joking, and we have been joking for too long, and it takes time to erase it."

She cut off her memories and looked at Yan Fu, "You want to cancel the engagement. I have agreed. Why, shouldn't I even have the right to be sad?"

She didn't ask whether it was worthy or not, whether it was possible or not, but only whether it should be or not.

Only when she said this, her voice fluctuated.

"That's not what I meant." Yan Fu's expression was also very restrained, and his voice was as calm as possible: "It's just that some voices fell on Tinglan... She will be my wife, Yan Fu, in the future, and I must take care of her reputation."

"Yes. That's right." Liu Xiuzhang's eyes also dropped: "I live my own life behind closed doors. What my father said outside... I don't know."

The two people facing each other across the door only looked at the ground.

It seemed that the ground was hiding some secrets to solve the world's problems.

The threshold was like a high wall, separating the two people inside and outside, and they were on opposite sides of the world.

"I can't do anything to your father." After Yan Fu said it, he realized that he shouldn't say that, and added: "After all, the Yan and Liu families are old friends."

Liu Xiuzhang only said: "You know his situation. If he can listen to me... things won't be like this."

Yan Fu sighed in his heart and said: "So, I hope you can say something."

"Say something?"

Liu Xiuzhang was smart after all, and she understood it after the question came out.

"You want me to say that I have no feelings for you? You want me to say that I have never been sad about this?"

She smiled sadly: "Yan Fu, you are so cruel."

Yan Fu stood outside the courtyard gate, like a silent tree.

Only when the wind blew, there was a rustling sound.

After a long silence, he said: "Wen Tinglan is my wife who has not married yet. She has done nothing wrong and should not be slandered like this. I cannot smooth this matter for her, and I have no face to stand in the world. Now, I have only two ways. One is that you speak up and dispel the rumors. The other is that you say nothing. After I return to Linzi, I will go out with a knife. Whoever says a word of gossip, I will cut him with a knife. No matter relatives or enemies, no matter noble or humble. Even if I am regarded as a madman like Tian Anping, I will do it."

Few people have seen Yan Fu take action, and almost never heard of him fighting with anyone in public. Although Jiang Wuyou chased and beat him in Linzi for a while, he just ran away and never fought back.

But no one would doubt Yan Fu's strength.

This was the first time Jiang Wang heard Yan Fu speak harshly.

This elegant nobleman was gentle and restrained even when talking about killing people.

But the determination he showed was terrifyingly firm.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Liu Xiu Zhang raised his eyes and looked at Yan Fu, who had never raised his eyes: "You would rather give up everything for her?"

Yan Fu said: "Doctor Wen loves his daughter like his life. I protect Wen Tinglan like this, even if my future is ruined, it will not affect the relationship between the Wen family and the Yan family."

"After all, you still care about the Yan family the most."

"I was born in the Yan family, grew up in the Yan family, learned from the Yan family, and got it from the Yan family. So..." Yan Fu finally raised his eyes and was finally able to look Liu Xiu Zhang in the eye: "I will also die in the Yan family."

Liu Xiu Zhang looked away: "This is my responsibility. I have affected your marital harmony. I will deal with it. Master Yan, please go back."

These things, from beginning to end, are all because Liu Yingqi is unwilling to change the heir and is tightly tied to the Yan family. First, he refused to cancel the engagement. After Yan Fu came to cancel it personally, he spread everywhere that Yan Fu and Liu Xiu Zhang were in love and could not let go. It was only because of Wen Yanyu's power that they cried blood...

It can't be said that it was the responsibility of Liu Xiu Zhang who stayed at home.

But Yan Fu said nothing.

He just bowed deeply, deeply, and turned around and left after paying such a great tribute to Liu Xiu Zhang.

...

"How is it?"

As soon as Yan Fu and Jiang Wang left, Liu Yingqi couldn't wait to run back: "Is there still a possibility for Yan Fu and you?"

Liu Xiu Zhang looked at him sadly and walked in without saying a word.

Liu Yingqi chased after him: "Xiu Zhang, Xiu Zhang. Hey, don't leave in a hurry. Since Yan Fu is a ruthless person, we don't need to remember him. Look at Jiang Wang, Jiang Qingyang, who is traveling with him. What do you think? He is now the most popular young genius in Da Qi. He defeated Wang Yiwu in the same realm, which is already amazing. He also became famous in a battle overseas, suppressing the monks of the same level in Diaohai Tower. This is a good match! If he can marry into the family..."

Liu Xiu Zhang turned back angrily, and perhaps for the first time in his life, he screamed at his father: "Don't you think I've been humiliated enough!?"

Liu Yingqi was stunned.

Looking at his daughter turning around with tears and grief.

He suddenly lost all his strength.

"I have...what can I do..."

The ambitious Liu Yingqi, the Liu Yingqi who vowed to revive the Liu family, the Liu Yingqi who shouted out the oath of "not sharing the sun and moon with the Tian family" because of the death of his eldest son...is dead.

Died on the day Tian Anping left alive.

Thanks to the book friend who started his life over again and became the leader of this book!
