When Zhu Yao saw Li Shiyan coming up the stairs, her eyes inexplicably sank, unable to hide her sadness.
She could deceive herself, but she couldn't change her heart!
In the deepest part of her heart, there was still Li Shiyan!
Perhaps in this life, there would be no room for another man.
However, she had personally said that she wanted to break off the engagement, so naturally, she couldn't take back her words. Moreover, now that the relationship between the Li and Zhu families was so stiff, even if they were truly in love one day, the elders of both sides would absolutely not allow them to be together again.
At this moment, Zhu Yao's heart felt like it was riddled with holes, and every cell in her body was aching.
Cai 'er saw that her expression wasn't right, so she followed her gaze.
She saw Li Shiyan coming up the stairs. He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and his face was flushed red. There wasn't a trace of the pale complexion he had when he was injured.
Cai 'er was worried, so she softly comforted, "Young Miss, don't think too much."
Zhu Yao withdrew her gaze, and her sad expression changed. She lightly scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hm?"
"The heir and I have already broken off the engagement, so we can't be husband and wife in this life. In any case, we are still friends, so what is there to think about?" After saying that, her white fingers picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
She hid all her feelings under her skin!
Cai 'er wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Perhaps … the young miss had really thought it through. After all, after the two families broke off the engagement, the young miss never cried again. Previously, when she saw the heir at the Fengya Pavilion, she acted as if nothing had happened. Now that she saw Li Shiyan again, she was still as calm as ever.
If she really didn't care anymore, then it was a good thing!
On the other side, Jiang Bin and his people were sitting in the best position on the third floor of the Round Pavilion. Since Wang Huai's death, he seemed to have become the heir of the "sect" overnight!
Everyone followed his lead.
He sat in the middle position, and the person next to him poured him a cup of wine, reminding him, "Jiang Bin, Li Shiyan is here."
Jiang Bin first held the cup of wine, and then he looked in the direction where Li Shiyan came up.
Li Shiyan walked to an empty seat, which happened to be opposite of Jiang Bin. It was also a superior position.
Didn't that boy not come? "I heard that the Zhu Clan broke off the engagement, and Marquis Kangding nearly died from anger. He couldn't even keep his face! This heir is really not afraid of gossip, coming out at this time. If it were me, I would definitely hide in the quilt at home and not come out.
What a disgrace, "said Pangaea.
"That's right, this is the first time I've heard of a bride breaking off an engagement! And the marriage annulled was even from the marquis's residence. What a joke. "
"That's right!"
"But Li Shiyan doesn't seem to care at all."
"Of course a thick-skinned person wouldn't care."
As they spoke, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It was a blatant mockery.
However, Jiang Bin kept looking in Li Shiyan's direction. He squinted his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
Gradually, a sinister expression appeared on his face.
His little attendant, Zheng Banshi, saw that he didn't say anything and stared at the other side, asking, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Bin remained silent.
Zheng Banshi pondered for a moment and seemed to understand his thoughts. He hurriedly reminded, "We can't provoke that stinking brat Li Shiyan. Moreover, this is the Immortal's Contest Tower. If anything happens, we will all be in trouble."
Then, Jiang Bin suddenly took out a bag of powder wrapped in yellow paper from his clothes and poured it all into a pot of wine in front of him. He shook the pot a few times and then stood up to carry the wine and a cup over.
No one dared to persuade him, nor did they have the time to.
Li Shiyan had just sat down and called out to the waiter of the Immortal's Contest Tower, "Go, bring two pots of good wine."
The waiter complied and was about to go get it when he was stopped by someone. When he raised his head, he saw Jiang Bin and revealed a fawning smile, "Young Master Jiang, what orders do you have? Do you also want a pot of good wine? "
Jiang Bin sneered and waved the wine pot in his hand. Then, he deliberately looked at Li Shiyan and said in a strange tone, "It just so happens that I have a pot of good wine here. I specially came to deliver it to the heir. You don't need to go get it, you can leave."
"Ah?"
"Still not scramming?!"
The waiter was stunned. He turned his head to look at Li Shiyan and then at Jiang Bin.
Both of them were good people that he could not provoke!
He did not know what to do!
Li Shiyan looked at Jiang Bin's smiling face. It was like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, giving him a bad feeling.
Jiang Bin smiled and said to him, "Heir, I came with good intentions to deliver wine to you."
Li Shiyan's face was full of disdain, "Yo! Jiang Bin, when did you become so generous? "
"Don't make it sound so bad. I have never treated you badly before."
"Oh?"
Jiang Bin signaled to the waiter with his eyes. The waiter knew that he was in a dilemma and that walking away was the best choice. He hurriedly stood far away and did not want to get involved in this matter to avoid harming the innocent.
Jiang Bin uninvited came over with the pot of wine.
He bowed and trembled as he walked away. Jiang Bin carried the wine pot and walked in front of Li Shiyan. He still smiled and said, "Heir, in the past, there were indeed many unpleasantries between us. There were many big and small matters between us, but there is nothing in this world that cannot be forgiven! Not to mention those unpleasantries. Today, we have met.
It just so happens that I have a pot of your favorite osmanthus wine. It is tasteless to drink wine alone, so I wanted to have a toast with you. I only hope that you will give me some face. "
Damn, did this person's brain get kicked by a donkey?
In the past, when he was with Wang Huai, he was a tyrant and often went against Li Shiyan.
He even fought with him!
Now, he came over with a pot of wine to ask for reconciliation. What kind of godly operation was this?
Li Shiyan was surprised, but he also began to ponder if there was something fishy going on. His eyes turned a few times. He knew that this matter was not simple and that he could not relax his vigilance.
It was still the same old saying: a weasel paying respects to a chicken does not have good intentions. Li Shiyan's brain quickly spun and he suddenly grinned. He planned to counter Jiang Bin's move. He stared at the wine in Jiang Bin's hand and said in a magnanimous manner, "This heir is not a stingy person. You brought a pot of wine to apologize to me, yet you are still so sincere.
How could this heir not forgive you? "
Eh!
Jiang Bin stared blankly.
He had clearly brought a pot of wine to reconcile, but he had no intention of apologizing from the beginning.
But now that things had come to this, he could not back down.
He had already said what he had just said, so he could not take it back.
He could only brace himself!
"Heir, since you have said so, then you must drink this cup of wine." As he spoke, Jiang Bin filled the cup with wine and placed it in front of Li Shiyan. He said, "Heir, if you do me the honor and drink this cup of wine, then our grudges will be written off."
A strange look flashed in Li Shiyan's eyes.
He knew that the cup of wine in front of him was not simple!
Perhaps there was some kind of poison in it. But he had just said that he was not a stingy person. If he did not drink this cup of wine, he was afraid …
