Lu Qi couldn’t be bothered with him, but Yu Yang dragged her by the elbow and walked straight to Lu Han and Xie Jiao in front of everyone.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on them. Lu Qi frowned and looked up at Yu Yang.
He was going to talk about breaking off the engagement!
She didn’t want her parents to be the topic of discussion, so she grabbed Yu Yang’s arm and suppressed her anger as she said in a low voice, “No matter what it is, we can settle it privately.”
Yu Yang waved her hand away and said in a loud and clear voice with disgust in his eyes, “Mr. and Mrs. Lu, I came today to attend Lu Qi’s birthday party because I have something to announce.”
When Lu Han saw him, he still felt a little guilty. After all, Lu Qi was clearly engaged to him but she did not want to marry him anymore.
“Yu Yang, if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. After the party ends, I have one more thing…”
Yu Yang interrupted him, “I want to annul the engagement with Lu Qi.”
Lu Han was stunned.
Yu Yang continued, “I made it clear to her a week ago that there is no love between us. I will never marry a woman like her! I hope that everyone here can bear witness for me. From today onwards, Lu Qi and I will no longer have any relationship.”
Yu Yang lowered his head and stared at Lu Qi. He emphasized his words and added, “I hope that you can also respect yourself and stop pestering me, adding to my troubles and burdens!”
The Lu family’s living room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Lu Qi with gossipy eyes.
Lu Han looked at Yu Yang in shock.
He did not expect that Yu Yang would actually propose to break off the engagement first. Moreover, he broke off the engagement in such a high-profile manner. He did not take Lu Qi’s face and dignity seriously at all!
Could it be that she agreed to Mo Chen’s engagement because she knew Yu Yang’s plan and her heart was broken…?
“Qiqi…”
Xie Jiao’s eyes reddened with heartache. She held Lu Qi’s hand tightly and her palms were so cold that she wanted to squeeze out a few words of comfort. However, countless words were stuck in her throat and she was trembling so much that she couldn’t speak.
Compared to their state, Lu Qi’s reaction was especially indifferent and even disdainful.
The Yu family’s parents were chatting with their other partners, but they didn’t expect Yu Yang to suddenly say this.
They hurriedly ran to Lu Han and Xie Jiao with smiles on their faces and repeatedly apologized, “Mr. Lu, Yu Yang is still young. He might be in a bad mood, so he just blurted out nonsense. Don’t take it to heart!”
“I’ll apologize to Qiqi on behalf of Yu Yang. When you marry into our family, we’ll teach him a lesson for you!”
Yu Yang’s parents glared at Yu Yang, signaling him to shut up and not cause any more trouble.
Currently, the management of the Lu Corporation was in Lu Han’s hands. The wealth that Lu Han possessed was also coveted by the Yu family.
Although they also did not like Lu Qi, Lu Han doted on his precious daughter a lot so as long as she married into their family, they would own all the assets of the Lu family. Yu Yang’s family would definitely not pass up this opportunity!
Their smiles grew even brighter as they held Lu Qi’s hand, trying to comfort her.
Lu Qi pried open their fingers and stared at Yu Yang with a mocking gaze. She raised her voice so that everyone could hear her clearly. “Yu Yang is an adult now. He is not a child anymore so, of course, he can take responsibility for every word he says!”
“Moreover, I don’t think these words were said casually. He deliberately chose to break off the engagement on my birthday. It feels quite “special”.”
Yu Yang’s parents were somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Qi’s attitude. Their tone was stiff, but they tried their best to be patient as they spoke, “Qiqi, please forgive him. If things continue to develop, it won’t be good for both our families. I don’t want everyone to make a joke out of us.”
Lu Qi turned her head and stared at them. “Yu Yang has caused such a scene. Do you think I’m still afraid of other people’s discussions?”
“He has never thought of the Lu family and he doesn’t even care about what you guys think. Why do you guys have to make a decision for him?”
Lu Qi heard the sounds coming from the stairs behind her. Her eyes were filled with provocation as she stared at Yu Yang and asked with a smirk on her lips, “I’m glad that I can break off the engagement with you, but do you dare to say what you really think in public? Let your parents hear why you want to break off the engagement!”
Yu Yang’s eyes followed Lu Nuannuan. Under Lu Qi’s provocation, he decisively walked to Lu Nuannuan’s side and held her hand.
Yu Yang’s parents were so surprised that they could not close their mouths. Lu Qi crossed her arms and watched patiently as everything played out.
Yu Yang’s eyes were filled with affection as he knelt on one knee on the ground. He took out a ring box from his pocket. “Nuannuan! I like you. Everything I did today was for you. Are you willing to marry me? I will definitely make you happy!”
The surrounding people gasped. No one had expected to see such a dramatic scene at Lu Qi’s birthday party.
When Yu Yang’s parents saw Lu Han’s ashen face, they were so anxious that they stomped their feet and wanted to pull Yu Yang back.
Lu Qi moved even faster. She walked arrogantly towards the two people who were confessing their love.
When she passed by the dining table, she picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it over Yu Yang’s head. The dark red wine dripped down his hair and made him look very pathetic.
Bang!
Lu Qi threw the bottle on the ground, and the fragments scattered all over the place.
