Initially, Shi Yao's parents didn't call her frequently. However, after four to five days, perhaps due to some communication between the Lin Clan and them, Shi Yao's parents started taking turns to call her. It was only a short period of time, but Shi Yao's phone never stopped ringing. By the time she was done with her lesson and was about to return the call, her phone had already run out of battery due to her parents' calls.
Shi Yao didn't bring a portable charger with her, so she headed to the canteen for lunch before returning to her dormitory room.
While she was waiting for her phone to turn on, the landline in the dormitory room suddenly rang.
He Tiantian was the closest to the landline, so it only rang once before she swiftly picked up the call, "Hello, may I know who you're looking for?"
"Oh, I'm here … Auntie, please wait a moment …" He Tiantian's voice was still very formal a moment ago, but in the next instant, it became exceptionally warm. She raised the landline to Shi Yao and said, "Yaoyao, it's a call from your mother."
Shi Yao reached out to pick up the phone. As she was quite a distance away from the landline, she had to keep her body tilted to one side when she picked up the call.
"Mom …"
Shi Yao barely managed to utter a single word before her mother's reprimanding voice sounded from the other end of the call, "Yaoyao, I told you to go and coax Jiage, but you never did!"
Shi Yao frowned, but she didn't say a word.
"I've been calling you so many times over the past few days, reminding you over and over again. Why didn't you listen to a single word? Did you know that Grandpa Lin came to our house today? He brought a lot of gifts with him, apologizing and apologizing to us. He said that he's going to call off the engagement just like that … "
Shi Yao's fingers subconsciously tightened around the phone.
It was no wonder her parents had been calling her so many times today. It turned out that Grandpa Lin had come to call off the engagement today … Lin Jiage actually managed to convince Grandpa Lin …
Ever since that night at Mountain Changming, she had already known that he was going to cancel their engagement. It was just that she hadn't received any news from the elders, so she was still fine with it. But now that the matter had finally come to an end, she suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart. It was as if someone had dug a hole in it, and a cold gust of wind was rushing in.
"Yaoyao, what exactly did you do to make Old Master Lin insist on canceling the engagement? Your father said that he tried to persuade you, but Old Master Lin said that there's no need. He said that they've let our family down … Yaoyao, after Old Master Lin left, your father flew into a rage and smashed a lot of things in the house. You …"
Before Shi Yao's mother could finish her rambling, the phone in her hand had been snatched away, and Shi Yao's father's voice could be heard on the other end.
"Shi Yao, what's wrong with you? How did you turn such a good thing into such a mess? Even a phoenix flying on a branch can be turned into a crow by you. Say, why are you so useless? Serves you right for being born poor! What a wastrel! Your grandfather left such a good marriage for you, and you still squander it! How did I end up with a daughter like you?! "
Her father's words were far sharper and harsher than her mother's.
Shi Yao lowered her eyes. She wanted to ask them which one of them was their biological child, but that didn't seem to be the case. Why did they always think that it was her fault when something like this happened?
