Chapter 13: Completely Ignored

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

From their conversation, it wasn’t hard to guess that they were Lu Moxi’s parents.

Although she was not the one who asked for this engagement, she had now taken over this body and its identity within the game. There were some things that she should take responsibility for, and she would not run away.

Tong Yi braced herself and walked into the room. She bowed to Ji Yuqin. “Sorry for troubling you.”

Ji Yuqin was slightly taken aback. She had been having an outburst when the person who had angered her suddenly appeared and even apologized to her politely. Apart from surprise, she felt stifled.

However, Tong Yi had apologized and displayed a good attitude. Since they were to be a family in the future, they would be seeing each other frequently, so she could not continue being unreasonable. Ji Yuqin could only say unwillingly, “It’s good that you know your mistake. Xi’er is handling the guests downstairs alone. Hurry down…”

Suddenly, Ji Yuqin realized that something was wrong. Tong Yi’s gown was gone, and she was wearing casual clothes. She was surprised. “Where’s your gown? Why are you dressed like this? Hurry up and change.”

Tong Yi lowered her head and rubbed her forehead helplessly. The main event was about to begin. Since she could not escape, then she would face it head-on.

Tong Yi let out a breath and raised her head to look at Ji Yuqin. “There’s no need to change because I want to cancel the engagement.”

“What did you say?” Ji Yuqin was in disbelief.

“I know you heard me. Don’t be angry. We can talk about it peacefully. Let’s sit down together…”

“Tong Yi!” Ji Yuqin cut her off sharply, her exquisitely made-up face contorting in anger. “I only held back my anger because of your parents. Don’t be so shameless!”

“Don’t make it sound so bad.” Tong Yi frowned but still patiently tried to calm Ji Yuqin. “I understand that you’re angry but I really can’t get engaged to Moxi. Can we…”

“No!” Ji Yuqin interrupted Tong Yi again. “The engagement banquet is about to start, and you left without a word. Now, you suddenly appear and want to cancel the engagement. Do you know how embarrassing this is for Xi’er? What do you take the Lu family for?”

Tong Yi felt that this lady was rather difficult to have a conversation with. She turned to look at Lu Mingli, who was sitting in the wheelchair silently. “Uncle, as the saying goes, when you forcefully put things together, there will be no desirable outcome…”

“When did we ever force you against your own will? You’re an adult, so watch what you say!”

Although Lu Mingli did not display his anger like Ji Yuqin, you could still detect the anger in his cold voice.

Tong Yi pinched her brows. Her apology did not mean that she had done anything wrong. She only wanted to settle this matter peacefully but the other party was not being cooperative.

After thinking about it, Tong Yi felt that since they were so unreasonable, it would be useless no matter how much she apologized. It was better to express herself first.

Tong Yi looked up at Ji Yuqin and Lu Mingli, her tone firm. “Whether you agree or not, the engagement banquet will be canceled.”

“Big Brother.”

Lu Moxi’s voice sounded at the door when Tong Yi finished speaking.

When Lu Moxi had spotted Tong Yi heading to the resting room, he immediately headed upstairs. He didn’t expect to see Lu Zhanbei, who had always appeared and disappeared unpredictably, standing outside the door and listening in from the corner.

Ji Yuqin looked at the door in shock. There was a trace of resentment and fear in her eyes. “You… Why are you here?”

Lu Zhanbei walked into the room and sat on the sofa. He looked up to find everyone staring at him. He frowned. “Continue. Pretend I’m not here.”

He had not so much as cast a glance at Ji Yuqin the whole time, her question went completely ignored.
