Qiao Yushan sat on the sofa, holding a tablet in her hand, working, and when she saw Su Han standing at the door, she was momentarily stunned.
This bastard... really came to call off the engagement?
At this thought, Qiao Yushan's complexion turned sour, she bit her lip, a hint of anger in her eyes, and immediately stood up.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, staring at Su Han, her tone somewhat cold.
Su Han spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless; he hadn't expected to run into her the moment he arrived.
He smiled and said, "As I told you at the hospital, I came here to..."
"What exactly do you want!" Qiao Yushan erupted as soon as she heard Su Han speak, set off like a fuse, this bastard, he really did come to break off their engagement!
He thinks he's too good for her?
He dares to say he's too good for her?
He, a college dropout, a man of no accomplishment, a lowlife who deceives young girls, dares say he's too good for her? And dares to come here and call off the engagement!
Qiao Yushan was truly infuriated, and even felt a certain inexplicable... resentment.
Such a man as Su Han daring to say he's too good for her? Was she really that inadequate? Suddenly, she felt a mocking sneer inside, as if she'd heard the world's biggest joke.
Su Han remained calm, seriously looking at Qiao Yushan, aware that this woman was lofty and famous throughout Tianhai City, with countless admirers who would spend a fortune just for a moment of her grace.
But he was not those people, he was Su Han, who followed his own heart; if he didn't like something, he simply didn't, and having spent so few years together, there was no real affection, so how could they talk of marriage?
"I didn't think much, just that it would be good for both of us, you wouldn't be troubled, and I wouldn't have to..."
Su Han had not finished speaking when Qiao Yushan quickly walked up to him, her feet in white slippers with a little panda design on them, which looked very cute but seemed to be angered at the moment.
"Su Han, listen to me clearly," Qiao Yushan's tone was very cold as she looked at Su Han, appearing utterly defiant, word by word she said, "if it's about calling off the engagement, I will be the one to do it, I'm the one who's too good for you! I'm the one who's too good for you!"
Qiao Yushan's voice grew very loud, tinged with resentment.
"Yushan!"
Su Han hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, from behind him came a commanding voice. Su Han turned his head to see an elderly man with graying hair, a furious expression on his face, leaning on a cane as he walked slowly in.
Su Han nodded, calling out, "Grandfather Qiao."
Qiao Jianrong looked at Su Han, his expression softened somewhat, nodding his head, but when he looked at Qiao Yushan, his face immediately turned cold: "Humph, don't my words count anymore? Have you grown up now that you think you can ignore your grandfather's words!"
He stared at Qiao Yushan, having never been so angry, leaving Qiao Yushan completely stunned.
From childhood, when had grandfather ever been angry at her, when had he ever spoken so seriously and angrily to her, all because of Su Han who had just returned to Tianhai? For such a worthless Su Han?
Qiao Yushan stood there dazed, her eyes slightly red, a sense of grievance inexplicably rising, why, why!
"I arranged this engagement, if you still recognize me as your grandfather, you'll not disrespect Su Han!" Qiao Jianrong scolded sharply, "Thinking of calling off the engagement? Wait until I'm dead!"
Qiao Yushan trembled all over, almost unable to stand, her grandfather... to speak such harsh words to her.
Was this Su Han really more important to him than his own granddaughter?
"Grandfather..." Qiao Yushan felt aggrieved, her tears almost uncontrollable. She wanted to plead, she wanted her grandfather to take back his words.
"Don't call me grandfather! Do you even regard me as your grandfather?" Qiao Jianrong's voice also grew louder.
Qiao Yushan bit her lip, tears already swirling in her eyes. She glanced at Su Han, who stood there with an innocent look, and felt even more anger and resentment in her heart. She turned around and could no longer hold back, crying as she ran upstairs.
Just for such an outsider, her grandfather actually scolded her like this. Why did it have to be this way!
"Grandfather Qiao, why bother?" Watching Qiao Yushan go upstairs with a face full of grievance, Su Han shook his head, seeming somewhat helpless. Why did things have to come to this point.
Qiao Jianrong watched Qiao Yushan run back to her room crying, and heaved a deep sigh. Turning to Su Han, he said apologetically, "Su Han, Yushan is still young and doesn't recognize your good intentions. Please don't mind."
Others might not know, but how could he not? The excellence of Su Han, which was something beyond the understanding of ordinary people. The ethereal Taoist monk who had saved his Qiao family's lives, in gratitude, he had arranged this marriage. How could Qiao Jianrong harbor the slightest doubt about a disciple trusted by the Taoist monk?
Su Han wanted to discuss the matter of this marriage arrangement, but seeing Qiao Jianrong's expression, decided to remain silent for the time being to avoid upsetting the old man again.
"We haven't seen each other for many years and have become quite strangers. The sudden mention of this marriage arrangement, her being upset is understandable," Su Han said.
Qiao Jianrong paused, then replied, "There's plenty of time in the future, I believe Yushan will come to understand. You've just arrived in Tianhai and haven't settled down yet, have you?"
Seeing Su Han nod, Qiao Jianrong said directly, "You should stay at the Qiao's. I have asked Mother Wu to prepare a room for you."
Su Han smiled, about to refuse, but saw Qiao Jianrong had already spoken, "There's no need for you to refuse, just listen to me."
Qiao Jianrong called Mother Wu over to lead Su Han to his room. Su Han had no choice but to keep quiet and say no more.
"Son-in-law, this way please." Mother Wu, who was in her fifties and looked very kind, said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother Wu. Please, call me Little Su." Those words 'son-in-law,' if Qiao Yushan heard them, would only make her even angrier.
Su Han also felt a bit helpless.
Mother Wu led Su Han into the room, told him to call her if he needed anything, and then busied herself with other tasks.
Upon entering the room, Su Han realized it was not a guest room, but rather seemed like the master bedroom. It appeared that Grandfather Qiao's determination was quite strong, and speaking out about breaking off the marriage might only upset him.
"Master, you've really set a difficult challenge for your disciple," Su Han gave a bitter smile. His master, the old Taoist, by arranging this marriage, had indeed put Su Han in a tight spot.
Since he was here, he decided to settle in; he thought to himself, waiting for the right moment to clarify things with Grandfather Qiao.
After organizing his belongings, Su Han took a shower, washing away all his fatigue, crossed his legs, and sat on the bed to start his practice.
Since following the old Taoist, his daily routine had included practicing, and he had reached a very high level of mastery in the "Heavenly Scriptures."
Su Han didn't even know the origin of the "Heavenly Scriptures." The old Taoist had only told him that these scriptures were fated to him. The "Heavenly Scriptures" were divided into three chapters.
The Scroll of Earth mainly focused on medical skills; Su Han's Profound Qi Finger was learned from it. The Scroll of Man mainly concentrated on ancient martial arts Profound Qi. Now, Su Han's strength had already surpassed that of his master, the old Taoist. His level of prowess was beyond even his own comprehension, as no one had ever forced him to exert his full strength!
