He Miao opened the door and walked to the stairs. He Wei's gentle voice came from downstairs. "Dad, don't blame sister. I'll go with you to see Jing Yan."
He Feng softened his voice and said with relief, " "You're the most sensible."
He had never wanted He Miao to marry into the Jing family, but because Old Master Jing liked her and it was his own father who had decided on the marriage, he had not wanted to stop him.
Now that He Miao had taken the initiative to break off the engagement, he was actually happy to see it happen, but he still had to put on an act on the surface.
He Miao's situation was different because her grandma he had found someone to read her birth characters. He Feng had thrown her into the mountains and only brought her back to the He family now that she had grown up.
There was no affection between father and daughter. He Feng only remembered the large inheritance left by the Yun family in her hands.
If this marriage was successful, He Miao would have the Jing family as her backing, and it would be difficult for him to touch her shares.
He Miao was well aware of He Feng's intentions. This family had no affection for the original body. Her top priority now was to improve her abilities as soon as possible and leave the He family.
She turned into the kitchen and heated up a glass of milk and bread. She was not naive enough to think that the servants would prepare breakfast for her when the two were not at home.
When she returned to her room, Onion was already awake and was waiting for her at the door.
He Miao patted its head. Seeing the look of enjoyment on its face, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Last night, she was worried that Onion was sick, so she did not want to take a bath. In the past, Onion loved to take baths. Every night, she would wash it clean and put it on the bed, then hug it to sleep.
She filled the bowl with dog food and water before eating her breakfast in peace.
The most important thing she had to do today was to plan for her future.
If she wanted to make a complete change, she had to start from her major. She had investigated carefully and found that the original body's computer science major was just empty.
Not only was there not a single word written in the textbook notes, she even failed a few subjects. She was simply chosen to get close to the male lead and muddle through her days.
She was not very interested in computers herself, so if she wanted to find a way out, she would have to choose her old profession, fragrance and perfumes.
In the past, she had been famous in this industry and had won many awards. She also knew that the original owner's mother was in the perfume business when she was alive, so it would not be too strange if she changed her major to this industry.
However, it was difficult to change her major.
She could not count on the He family anymore, so she had to think of another way.
As she was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Jing Yan's grandfather, the one who had personally decided on her marriage with Jing Yan.
"Hello? Grandpa Jing? Grandpa Jing!" He Miao called out warmly. In the original book, Grandpa Jing had always taken good care of her. She had taken over the body of the original owner, so she should continue to be filial to this old man for her.
"Miaomiao," Grandpa Jing smiled kindly and asked about her recent situation, "How have you been?" Did you have a good breakfast?"
"I just ate," He Miao answered seriously, "I'm very full. Don't worry, Grandpa."
"That's good." Master Jing paused for a moment and said, "I heard from your father that you want to break off the engagement with Jing Yan? Did that brat bully you? Tell Grandpa, and I'll help you make this right."
He Miao chuckled. "No, Grandpa. It's not Jing Yan's fault. It's me who doesn't want to marry him. He didn't like me in the first place, and I don't like him anymore either. I might as well break off the engagement and let him find his happiness."
Grandpa Jing could tell that He Miao was resolute in her decision to break off the engagement. He turned around and glared at Jing Yan, who was lying on the bed.
He really did not know what this kid was thinking. What was so bad about He Miao that he would not speak to him at a time like this?
Grandpa Jing sighed and said, "Alright, you can do whatever you want. I just want you to be happy. Although you and Jing Yan can't be husband and wife anymore, you're still my precious granddaughter in my heart. Don't treat me like an outsider in the future. Come and see me more often, okay?"
"Alright," she said. A warm feeling flowed through He Miao's heart. In this unfamiliar world, after facing all kinds of people with ulterior motives, this pure kindness was even more precious.
Seeing his grandfather hang up the phone, Jing Yan, who was beside him, spoke in a hoarse voice, "You believe me now? I didn't force her."
