Disdain, disgust, and hatred … Even though she was only thirteen back then, she could still read his thoughts from his eyes.
He hated her, a very hateful kind of hateful.
It was then that she realized that there was a gap between them.
As she grew older, she realized that it wasn't just a gap between them, but a world of difference.
The two of them belonged to two different worlds. He came from a wealthy family whereas she came from an ordinary family that was bordering on poverty. If not for the engagement between her grandfather and his grandfather back then, it would have been impossible for the two of them to meet at all.
Even though her family didn't starve her, they didn't provide her with good living conditions either. As a result, she was thinner than the average person, but she wasn't ugly either.
Unlike him, she couldn't wear expensive and beautiful clothes every day. Most of her clothes were leftovers from her relatives' older sisters. They were a little old, but they weren't dirty …
As for her shabbiness …
It must be said that those words of his had deeply wounded her young pride.
So, even though he eventually agreed to the engagement under his grandfather's coercion, she didn't take the initiative to talk to him just because she was his fiancée. Even though they were in the same school, she didn't mention their relationship to anyone else. Even the red packet money that Grandpa Lin gave her during the Chinese New Year, she didn't touch it at all.
Recalling these past events, Shi Yao couldn't help but purse her lips.
She didn't know what went wrong, but she wasn't willing to stand here and allow him to malign her, and she didn't want to argue with him either. So, she chose to turn around and leave without saying a word.
Her actions only served to stoke the flames of fury in Lin Jiage's heart.
She was the one who caused this mess, and yet she was still thinking of walking away as if nothing had happened?
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage abruptly reached out to grab Shi Yao's wrist.
Shi Yao was in a hurry to leave, so Lin Jiage's hand ended up grabbing onto the bag she was holding.
His strength was so great that it tore the bag apart, and the four pieces of cake inside fell to the ground, stained with mud.
Shi Yao froze as she lowered her gaze to look at the cake on the ground.
You can't even eat the cake anymore …
Shi Yao also felt a little angry. She couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.
She stared at the cake on the floor for a long while before she finally raised her head and glared at Lin Jiage furiously, "I'm telling you one more time. I didn't go to look for Grandpa Lin, and I didn't report you either. I don't have any intention of playing hard to get!"
"Also, don't be so narcissistic as to think that everyone likes you. I don't like you at all. I never thought of marrying you!"
"So, don't go overboard. Be careful …"
Shi Yao had always been an obedient child, so she rarely scolded others. She racked her brains for a very long time before she finally came up with a sentence that she felt was particularly overboard, "… Be careful not to starve to death!"
"Also, did you see the messages I sent you in the past two days? Do you want me to repeat them for you?"
As she spoke, she repeated the contents of the message, "When do you intend to tell your family that we're canceling our engagement?"
"So, can you please give me an exact time today? Don't think that I don't know that you have a girlfriend!"
"Since you already have a girlfriend, do you think that it's a good idea for you to maintain such a meaningless relationship with me? Do you think that you can treat her well? "
