Chapter 223: Jiang Tao’s Resistance!

Translator: Lonelytree

“Tianhao, someone is investigating Young Master Jiang’s movements in Xing Yin County again!” Li Yuanhang reported to Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly and asked, “Who is it this time?”

“It seems to be someone from the Qin family!” Li Yuanhang said. Li Yuanhang was honestly dissatisfied with Jiang Tao. Jiang Tao had tripped over himself before Old Master Jiang. Tianhao had already reminded him. How could he make the same mistake with the Qin Family? This wasn’t the cool and calm Jiang Tao they knew.

He hadn’t dealt with Old Master Jiang, and now he dragged the Qin Family into this. Was he trying to roast Xiao Lingyu? What was Young Master Jiang thinking?

Gong Tianhao heard Li Yuanhang’s report and felt a little strange. “A member of the Qin family? What’s going on? Why would the Qin family suddenly want to investigate Tao Zi?”

Li Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, “Tianhao, Young Master Jiang, and Qin Yan met yesterday.” And today, the Qin Family made a move, so it had to do with that meeting.

Gong Tianhao thought about it. He picked up the phone and made a call to Jiang Tao. After the call was answered, he asked directly, “Tao Zi, what did you tell Qin Yan yesterday?”

Jiang Tao tightened his grip on the phone and said, “Actually, I didn’t say anything. I just told her to take the initiative to break off the engagement!”

“What?” This time, Gong Tianhao was also surprised. His tone suddenly became stern as he said, “Aren’t you being too impulsive? You’re asking Qin Yan to break off the engagement? Do you think that’s possible?”

Jiang Tao wanted to frown and say, “But Qin Yan has already promised me she would do it.”

Gong Tianhao took a deep breath and said, “Then, why is the Qin Family investigating your movements in Xing Yin County?”

“What?” Jiang Tao was obviously a little surprised, “How can this be? Qin Yan has agreed. Why would the Qin Family investigate me?” Who gave them the courage to investigate him in private?

Gong Tianhao sighed lightly and asked, “Tao Zi, are you sure that Qin Yan has already agreed to break off the engagement? Perhaps there were problems with the communication.”

Jiang Tao was silent.

Then, Gong Tianhao asked very directly and sharply, “Tao Zi, what exactly are you doing? You are not acting like yourself! Therefore, I have reasons to suspect you are doing this on purpose!”

Jiang Tao was silent again.

Gong Tianhao heard nothing. Gong Tianhao sighed, “Tao Zi, no matter what you do, as a good friend, I will support you! But, I also hope that you will remember your promise!” No one was going to destroy the warmth and happiness of that small family. That family was the home they both longed for!

Jiang Tao replied seriously, “I always keep my promise!”

After Gong Tianhao put down the phone, Li Yuanhang’s expression was a little surprised. He said, “Tianhao, you really think Young Master Jiang did this on purpose?” It was not impossible. It was very unlike Young Master Jiang to act so stupidly. However, he asked, “But why would he do this? Doesn’t he know that once the Qin Family starts the investigation, he’d put Xiao Lingyu in danger?”

Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “He knows!”

“Then…” Li Yuanhang was confused.

Gong Tianhao said, “Because he also knows I’ll do everything to protect Xiao Lingyu and her family! It is why he dared to do this.”

“Huh?” Li Yuanhang was shocked. “But why would he do this? It’s impossible to get Qin Yan to break off the engagement.”

The marriage between the Jiang and Qin families was between the eldest daughter of the Qin family and the eldest son of the Jiang family. They were a match made in heaven.

This was not a joke. Neither party would break off the engagement. When it came to the actual marriage, both the bride and the groom had no say. Young Master Jiang couldn’t do anything, and neither could the young miss of the Qin Family. Everything was decided by the two families. Qin Yan was powerless to break off the engagement, and Jiang Tao should know that. But he still asked her to do it. Why?

Gong Tianhao had some vague guesses in his heart.

Jiang Tao wanted the power of the Jiang family. To him, the marriage had become a business arrangement. In other words, he would marry Qin Yan for power.

This time, he found Qin Yan and asked her to break off the engagement. He was setting a bait. As for what he was fishing for, only Jiang Tao would know.

…

After Qin Yan came back from the appointment with Jiang Tao, she returned to her room and threw a tantrum.

Qin Yan hammered the pillow, her fingertips almost poking holes into the pillow.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Jiang Tao, you’ve really gone too far!” He actually asked her to break off the engagement because he didn’t like her. He said it was for the sake of her reputation, but she knew that in reality, he was humiliating her. He thought she wasn’t worthy of him.

“Jiang Tao, you want me to break off the engagement? Never!” Qin Yan said with some resentment.

There were a few powerful families in the capital. Other than Jiang Tao and Gong Tianhao, the other single men couldn’t match her. They were not as handsome as the two men, or they didn’t have much power.

Qin Yan’s first choice was Gong Tianhao. However, Gong Tianhao was powerful enough to decide his own marriage. Unless his heart was moved, no one could force him into a marriage.

Even though Qin Yan once imagined marrying Gong Tianhao, she knew it was not possible in this lifetime. In that case, she would settle for second best. “Jiang Tao, I will marry you!” Qin Yan clenched her hands into fists and said with a determined tone, “I will definitely repay the insult you gave me ten times more in the future!”

The future was when Jiang Tao fell in love with her.

Qin Yan looked at the dressing table. Then, she took out the makeup box and put some powder on her face. Then, she wiped something on her eyelids. A moment later, Qin Yan was transformed.

Her eyes were puffy, and her small face was slightly pale. It was obvious that she had cried.

She ran down to look for her father. “Dad, I want to break off the engagement!”

Qin Xingbao was shocked and asked, “Why? Yan ‘Er, what happened?”

Qin Yan shook her head and said, “Nothing. It’s just that Jiang Tao doesn’t like me. He came to find me today and asked me to break off the engagement. Otherwise, even if we get married, we won’t be happy!”

“That bastard!” When Father Qin heard that, he was furious. “Can the engagement be broken off just like that? Does he not care about the Qin Family’s face anymore?”

Qin Yan said, “Dad, since Jiang Tao and I haven’t gotten engaged, there’s still time to call off the engagement!” She looked so sad when she said that. She was trying to portray herself as the victim.

Her actions would make others see that she was a kind and wronged woman. She was magnanimous and wanted to fulfill Jiang Tao’s wish.

This would make Jiang Tao look irresponsible. It was one thing for him not to like the young lady, but how could he ask the woman to break off the engagement? He did it to preserve his face, but what about the young miss? Didn’t she need to keep her face too? This was an insult to her.

Naturally, Qin Xingbao wouldn’t let his eldest daughter suffer such injustice.

He said angrily, “This matter was personally arranged by Old Master Jiang. This will happen no matter the kid likes it or not! Yan ‘Er, don’t worry. I’ll get the Jiang Family to give us an explanation. How can the kid force you to call for the annulment?! ”

Qin Yan’s eyes were red, and there were traces of tears on her face. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Dad, since Jiang Tao isn’t willing, let’s just forget about it.”

She was using defense as an offense. Jiang Tao was Qin Yan’s best choice, so naturally, she wouldn’t give him up.

She also understood her father and the rules of the Qin family. She knew that the marriage was not a child’s play. It was not something that could be broken off just because she didn’t like it. She had to stand in the position of the victim and make the Jiang Family feel like they owed her. At the same time, she would create the image of a kind, generous and understanding woman.

Qin Xingbao said angrily, “How can we just forget about it? Yan ‘Er, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ll handle everything for you. As for you, just wait to be the most beautiful bride-to-be!”

Qin Yan could only nod. Then, she hesitated for a moment and said, “Dad, could it be that Jiang Tao has someone he likes in that backward place? Otherwise, why would he suddenly refuse the engagement?”

Qin Xingbao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Yan ‘Er, don’t worry. You are going to marry Jiang Tao. It doesn’t matter if he likes someone else, because he can only marry you!”

“But Dad, if Jiang Tao really has someone he likes, we can’t break up the couple, right?” Qin Yan thought for a moment and said, “Just like what Jiang Tao said, if he doesn’t like me, even if he marries me, I won’t be happy!”

“Who said that?” Qin Xingbao said loudly, “My daughter is beautiful and generous. She is well-educated and reasonable. It is his fortune to be able to marry you. Yan ‘Er, remember, you can’t be too kind. Or you’ll be taken advantage of. That brat is using your kindness. But no worries, Father will take revenge for you.”

“Dad…” Qin Yan mumbled before saying, “Can we…” break off the engagement?

“No!” Qin Xingbao waved his hand and directly interrupted her. His expression became very serious as he said, “Yan ‘Er, the engagement between Jiang Tao, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, and Qin Yan, the eldest young miss of the Qin family, is a fact set in stone. There is no room for negotiation. Don’t even think about breaking off the engagement. Go back and rest! Rest well and be a beautiful bride-to-be in two days!”

“Alright!” Qin Yan said softly, “Dad, I’m going back to my room to rest for a while.”

Once she returned to her room, Qin Yan leaned against the door and revealed a smug smile.

She said to herself, “Jiang Tao, you want me to break off the engagement, but I’m not going to do as you wish!”

…

When Old Master Jiang received a phone call, his expression immediately darkened.

After he hung up the phone, he immediately asked someone to call Jiang Tao over.

“Master, the eldest young master did not return home. He went to his own apartment!” Butler Li reported.

“Then immediately inform him to come back!” Old Master Jiang said sharply.

“Yes!”

After about an hour, Jiang Tao slowly arrived.

Just as he stepped into the study, an object flew straight towards him. He did not dodge or avoid it. The porcelain teacup directly smashed into his forehead. Immediately, blood gushed out, and there was a big bump on his head.

“You bastard!” Old Master Jiang was loud. His tone was very stern and authoritative. He shouted sternly, “Kneel!”

Jiang Tao obediently knelt, and he ignored the wound on his forehead. Then, he asked with understanding, “Grandfather is angry because I proposed to Qin Yan to break off the engagement, right?”

“Humph!” Old Master Jiang snorted coldly. “So, you do know your mistake.”

Jiang Tao said with conviction, “Grandfather, what was my mistake? I don’t like Qin Yan, and you won’t allow me to refuse. So, I can only find Qin Yan and ask her to take the initiative to break off the engagement!”

“How dare you?” Old Master Jiang picked up an item on the table angrily and threw another item at Jiang Tao. It was an inkstone.

It directly hit Jiang Tao’s head. Jiang Tao grunted and didn’t say anything else. Another big bump appeared on his head. Jiang Tao pushed forward. “How am I wrong? I don’t like Qin Yan. If I marry her, I’ll only harm her.”

Old Master Jiang said coldly, “I’ve told you before. Your feelings don’t matter in this marriage. The marriage between the Jiang family and the Qin family will bring huge benefits and benefits to the Jiang family. As the heir of the Jiang family, you must bear this responsibility!”

Jiang Tao said without thinking, “Then I’d rather not be the heir of the Jiang Family!”

“Bastard!” This time, Old Master Jiang was really angry. he shouted sharply, “Have you asked for my permission to shed this responsibility?”

Jiang Tao said, “I know you wouldn’t agree. But Grandfather, what’s the point of me being the heir of the Jiang Family? I have no freedom and no power. I’m a puppet in your hands, grandfather. In that case, I’d rather be an ordinary person!”
