"Ling Yao, this time, apart from finding that good-for-nothing, we're also here to break off the engagement with him."
Xiao Jing frowned slightly and ordered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ling Yao couldn't help but get angry. "I really don't know what my grandfather was doing. He actually made me marry that good-for-nothing! Moreover, I didn't know about it all these years! If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Yu Qing had returned this time and wanted me to marry him, he wouldn't have told me about this … "
Families like the Ling and Xiao families were very particular about their agreements! If she wanted to marry Xiao Yu Qing, she would have to break off the engagement. Hence, when she heard that the Xiao family was looking for that good-for-nothing, she volunteered to follow them.
"That good-for-nothing probably doesn't know about this either," Xiao Jing's brows furrowed even tighter. "It doesn't matter if he agrees or not, you must break off the engagement."
Back then, because Yun Xiao's parents were one-in-a-million geniuses, the Ling family's Master had suggested for the two of them to be engaged at a young age. However, this matter was only known to the elders of the two families.
Who would have thought that Yun Xiao was actually a good-for-nothing! Hence, this matter had been delayed. If the Ling family hadn't planned on using Ling Yao to form a marriage alliance with Xiao Yu Qing, they wouldn't have revealed this matter …
"It's best if he doesn't know about it," Ling Yao scoffed. "If he knew that we were engaged at a young age, he would definitely pester me! Otherwise, which woman would want to marry a good-for-nothing like him? "
"That's not necessarily true. He's had outstanding looks since he was young. With his looks, it shouldn't be a problem for him to become a live-in son-in-law."
Xiao Jing recalled that face in his mind. The corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. His eyes were filled with disdain.
Ling Yao curled her lips mockingly. "A woman who can fancy that good-for-nothing probably isn't a good person. If she's not a good-for-nothing like him, then she's a lecher! How good can a lecher like him be? "
What she meant was that Yun Xiao couldn't possibly find a woman better than her. Unfortunately, that kind of good-for-nothing wasn't good enough for her.
"Alright, let's not talk about that good-for-nothing for now. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of our accommodation. Only after we've settled down can we search for that good-for-nothing's whereabouts!"
Xiao Jing looked at Ling Yao and said slowly.
"But the inns here are all full, where are we going to find a place to stay?" Ling Ya pouted, her face full of unwillingness.
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and a light flashed in his eyes. He quickly walked to the front of a house and knocked on the door three times.
Creak!
The door was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked out angrily. He asked angrily, "Who are you? What are you here for? "
"I want to buy your house."
Xiao Jing smiled faintly.
"Go away." The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently. "I'm not selling this house. Don't come here and make trouble."
"Ten million." Xiao Jing's lips still had a calm and confident smile.
Sure enough, hearing his words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard.
"Are you really willing to buy my house for ten million taels of silver?"
He obviously didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world who would be so stupid as to spend ten million taels of silver to buy a house.
Xiao Jing didn't say anything else. He pulled out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Here's ten million taels of silver. Everything in your house belongs to me. You can leave now."
