In Old Master Ying's head, there was no way, Song Yixu who was so obsessed with his step son would ever think of going to an arranged marriage match. Thus, with that thought in his head, he rushed to the biggest and most famous, ' Smiling Stars' theatre, hoping to get a glimpse of Song Yixu.
"... They dare lie to me. Who do they think they are? I am not such an ignorant fool! To think that they would lie about something so unbelievable!" Old Master Ying muttered as he hid behind a wall and then looked at the theatre, his eyes surveying the guests who were leaving the theatre and when he did not see Song Yixu even when the theatre was almost empty, he snorted. " See that.
They were just lying——"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Song Yixu stepped out of the theatre with a really beautiful mer. He was taller than Ying Nan and because he was a young master of a very rich family, his skin was paler than the moon without any blemish.
He looked thin and dainty, with his hair curled and tied in a loose braid which was placed on his shoulder such that it was hanging in front of his chest.
When Old Master Ying saw the mer, he felt a sort of suffocation in his heart. He thought that Song Yixu would always wait for Ying Nan but what was this? Was her love so cheap? Was her life so cheap? How could she throw her promise away like this?
The more he thought about it the more worried he became. If this mer was to replace Ying Nan, then how would he get money from Song Yixu?
In the end, anger and resentment filled his head as he rushed toward Song Yixu. All sense of rationality left his head as he charged at Song Yixu.
Thus, he refused to exchange tokens. Who would have thought that his one decision would come to bite him back like this?
" Who is he?" Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the mer next to Song Yixu questioned with a frown. He looked at Old Master Ying with distaste in his eyes and sneered, " Madam Song, you did not tell me that you were close to such beggars as well. Do you want me to offer him a tael or two? Maybe he will leave then."
Old Master Ying felt humiliated when he heard the words of the mer, he wanted to tell him to shove him off as he was the father-in-law of Song Yixu but to his surprise, before he could say anything Song Yixu looked at the mer with a concerned look on her face and said, " You feel uncomfortable in his company? Then we shall leave."
And without even listening to what Old Master Ying had to say she turned on her heels and then walked away leaving Old Master Ying to be flabbergasted. This... This was really happening?
He blinked his eyes while watching Song Yixu leave with the mer but then he snapped out of his daze and chased after her as fast as he could.
" Ying Nan is missing!
He left for the mountains and did not return do you not care?" Old Master Ying shouted after Song Yixu, he knew that there was no way Song Yixu would be so heartless as to leave Ying Nan behind and sure enough when she heard that Ying Nan was missing Song Yixu paused, however before Old Master Ying could cheer in his heart, the latter looked at him and then stated coldly, " Do I need to know this?
Can you not see I am with someone else now?"
