"What?!"
The trio present were left stunned, with Ji Jianing gaping in utter disbelief.
When the Ji family and the Li family had announced the marriage, Zhou Huijie had bragged to many other rich wives that she would be the mother-in-law of the Li family's head, and a big shot in River Town.
But with that almighty slap of having the wedding canceled on the day of engagement… where would she show her face from now on?
"Shaoling, that's probably not ideal… How would you explain canceling the wedding to Old Madam?" Zhou Huijie asked sheepishly, while discreetly nudging Ji Xiangdong in the ribs.
"That's right," Ji Xiangdong parroted. "Shaoling, Old Madam would never agree to it."
"I'll talk to Grandmother." Li Shaoling replied, pausing for heartbeats before looking down coolly at Ji Jianing. "We shall not meet again."
With those words, he turned and left without stopping, a haste in his pace.
