Chapter 89: Uncle, I Want to Cancel the Engagement

Chapter 89: Uncle, I Want to Cancel the Engagement

Qin Ruan suppressed the feeling of unwillingness in her heart and restrained the urge to rush underground to find the culprit.

She roughly calculated that at her current rate of collecting evil energy, it would take her a long time to reach her goal of dying of old age.

Sure enough, creatures in the underworld were all heartless and would not let her off easily.

The cost of reincarnation was even more difficult than she had anticipated.

Ling Xiaoxuan walked over to Qin Ruan with a hint of concern and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"I'm fine, let's go," Qin Ruan composed herself and waved away the distractions in her mind.

The two of them held hands and made their way down the treacherous path.

An hour later, they arrived at the reception desk at Qishan.

"Changheng, Changheng, wake up! I'm your mother, open your eyes and look at your mother..."

"Why hasn't my son woken up yet? Are you all dead people? Go find a doctor quickly!"

A woman's crying and a man's angry questioning could be heard coming from the reception room.

Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan slowly walked over and heard the argument inside.

"You have been ordered not to leave the mountain! No exceptions!" A cold and emotionless male voice sounded from inside the room.

Without much thought, they knew it was one of the Ling family's bodyguards.

In fact, Qin Ruan had instructed Ling Xiaoxuan not to leave the mountain until the matter with Ling Feng had been resolved.

Since she had promised to help Du Changheng deal with Ling Feng, she couldn't go back on her word.

"Nonsense! My son is Xiaoxuan's fiancé. He's unconscious now. If something happens to him, can you bear the responsibility?!" The woman angrily questioned, her voice seeping through the doors and windows.

The Ling family bodyguard standing guard outside the door bowed respectfully when he saw Ling Xiaoxuan and Qin Ruan approach.

"Miss Ling."

Ling Xiaoxuan collected the fear on her face, lifted her chin with dignity, and nodded slightly.

Qin Ruan put the bag on her shoulder down by her feet and leaned against an old building nearby.

She said, "After we resolve the matter with the Du family, we can return to Beijing."

Ling Xiaoxuan understood her meaning: "If we break off the engagement with the Du family, the two families will have no further ties, and Du Changheng's life or death will have nothing to do with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Ling Xiaoxuan took a deep breath and instructed her bodyguard, "Open the door."

The bodyguard immediately opened the door, and the arguing inside the room came to a sudden stop.

Ling Xiaoxuan's lips, which had no color, slowly curled up as she stepped into the room.

As she walked in, the parents of Du Changheng immediately looked over.

"Xiaoxuan, you've finally come! Changheng is still unconscious. Send him to the hospital quickly. If something happens to him, I and your uncle won't be able to live either!"

Du's mother rushed up and tightly held Ling Xiaoxuan's hand, her eyes filled with hope.

The Ling family was one of the six major aristocratic families. It was a great fortune for their Du family to be able to form a marriage alliance with the Ling family.

Even if she knew that her son's delayed treatment was due to Ling Xiaoxuan's instructions, she didn't dare to show any displeasure.

Ling Xiaoxuan gently waved off Du's mother's hand, took out her phone, and dialed her younger uncle's number directly.

The call was answered, and with all eyes on her, Ling Xiaoxuan spoke, "Uncle, I want to cancel the engagement with the Du family."

Whatever was said on the other end of the phone, Ling Xiaoxuan's anxious and uneasy expression turned into a relaxed smile.

She moved the phone away from her ear and switched it to speakerphone.

A low, hoarse male voice came through the phone's speaker clearly.

"Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, Xiaoxuan and your son's engagement is now null and void. Everything that Ling family gave to Du family during the engagement period will not be taken back. Please forgive the child's ignorance."

The man's voice was calm and unhurried, like he was talking about the weather.

Du's father and mother were completely dumbfounded.

All they wanted was to take their unconscious son to the hospital. How did they get involved in the engagement between the two families?
