Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

As the male protagonist, Jiang Wenbai naturally has a good appearance. All kinds of flattering words like "face like a jade crown", "sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes", and "unparalleled and graceful" can be used to describe him.

He bowed to his parents and elders with a perfunctory and impatient look, and then spoke to his father:

"Father, why did you ask someone to come to me?!"

Jiang Zhenyun couldn't help getting angry when he saw his son's lazy appearance. This kid did not do any work all day long. Apart from being able to drive the teacher away, he was not good at anything and did everything wrong. What sin had he committed to have such a son?

Thinking of this, he felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and he was about to take action impulsively.

Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Jiang beside him hurriedly pulled his sleeve. Jiang Zhenyun was pulled back to his senses by this pull. Realizing that there were outsiders, he immediately changed his expression to a gentler one and said to his son:

"Wenbai, this is Miss Yan, your fiancée whom I mentioned before. She is here to break off the engagement with you."

Following his father's guidance, Jiang Wenbai looked at Yan Wenmo. Looking at the plain clothes Yan Wenmo was wearing, he thought that this girl only had a pretty face, but she was not as beautiful as his cousin described.

But when he heard the word "broken engagement", the originally lazy expression on his face instantly turned into rage. He stared at Yan Wenmo with a bad look, his brows full of hostility.

Before his father could explain the reason, Jiang Wenbai walked up to Yan Wenmo and asked in a seemingly gentle but actually biting tone:

"You want to break off the engagement with me?! Why?! Your Yan family is in a high position and has great power, so your words don't count?!"

Seeing him coming at her aggressively, Yan Wenmo felt her mouth twitch subconsciously, but now was not the time to complain, so she looked at Jiang Wenbai's face, which seemed gentle but actually a warning, and said with a weak breath:

"This matter is really helpless, it's Qingshuang..."

Jiang Wenbai was obviously too lazy to listen to her explanation, and interrupted her directly, asking concisely:

"Are you determined to cancel the engagement?! Although my Jiang family is not as good as the Yan family, this engagement was made between you and me since we were young. If you say you don't want it, then you don't want it. What do you think of me, Jiang Wenbai?!"

As he spoke, he even bent down deliberately, staring at Yan Wenmo's seemingly fragile face with a gloomy face, and the warning in his eyebrows became more and more obvious.

Yan Wenmo looked at the boy's face full of warnings and displeasure, and felt her scalp tingling. This boy was indeed the hero, and he didn't even give her time to explain. But if she didn't cancel the engagement, she subconsciously shuddered when she thought of the system's punishment, and then whispered:

"Mr. Jiang is naturally excellent"

Jiang Wenbai sneered when he heard this, and moved closer to Yan Wenmo and said sarcastically:

"If it's so good, why did you cancel the engagement?!"

Yan Wenmo looked at Jiang Wenbai who was getting closer and closer, and didn't care about anything else. He just gave up and said sincerely:

"Qingshuang is terminally ill, and the imperial physician says she only has a few months to live. If Mr. Jiang is willing to marry a dying woman, Qingshuang is willing to cooperate. However, I am afraid that the reputation of being a wife-killer will affect Mr. Jiang's future marriage. If Mr. Jiang is willing to gamble his lifelong affairs because of a momentary anger, Qingshuang has nothing to say."

These words were simply telling Jiang Wenbai that I came here to cancel the engagement because I knew I wouldn't live long and therefore didn't want to delay you.

If you are willing to bear the infamy of being a wife-killer, I am willing to cooperate with you. However, if this creates a rift between you and your second wife in the future, it will have nothing to do with me.

After hearing this, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help but frown. He subconsciously stood up straight and looked at Yan Wenmo carefully.

Yan Wenmo didn't care about his aggressive scrutiny, but coughed heavily a few times. It was not until Jiang Wenbai saw the blood-red mark on the handkerchief that he frowned in disgust, and then looked at his father with eyes full of rejection.

Seeing his son's face full of rejection, Jiang Zhenyun hesitated for a while before forcing a smile and saying:

"Although you are ill now, the engagement between our two families cannot be cancelled. Moreover, although my Jiang family is not rich, we will definitely cure you if possible."

When Yan Wenmo heard this, he felt even more headache. He was a sickly child, and one who was about to die. No matter how much you promised, you would not ruin your son's lifelong happiness for a sickly child.

Rubbing her temples helplessly, Yan Wenmo felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She was too lazy to even look at the expressions of the people present and just spoke:

"The imperial physician once said that this disease is incurable and cannot be cured. If it were not impossible, my Yan family would not be so treacherous. Besides, although the Jiang family is rich, they still need money to eat, wear and spend money."

At this point, Yan Wenmo smiled bitterly and said:

"If I am already a wife of the Jiang family, others will naturally not say anything. But if I spend money like water before I get married, even if my uncle loves me, he won't say anything. Those servants and relatives are gossipy after all. I am afraid that if Qingshuang returns one day, it will bring criticism to my uncle in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent, because the most fundamental line had been made clear by Yan Wenmo. She had made it clear from the beginning that I broke off the engagement for your own good, but the Jiang family insisted on using the promise as an excuse, so she could only talk to them about reality.

Maybe they just didn't want to face the reputation of breaking off the engagement, or maybe they really kept their promises, but these had nothing to do with Yan Wenmo anymore. After all, at this moment, her condition was not very good.

[Host mission failed, please accept the punishment]

Thirteen large, bright red characters suddenly and silently appeared in Yan Wenmo's sea of ​​consciousness. Before Yan Wenmo could even try to argue, she felt an electric current instantly strike out from her soul, which only shattered her soul into pieces, but there was no sign of injury on the surface.

For some reason, this electric shock seemed to have great lethality to the soul. If not, Yan Wenmo would not have been so careful and flattering in completing all the tasks left by the system.

Otherwise, she would have disobeyed the system's orders and sent people to intimidate, force, seduce, or deceive Jiang Wenbai into canceling the engagement.

After all, the Yan family had nothing else but they knew a lot of people, and there were also many young men who liked Yan Qingshuang. As long as they revealed the engagement between Yan Qingshuang and Jiang Wenbai, there would naturally be people who would make things difficult for the Jiang family.

But the system insisted on following the plot, so she had no choice but to travel thousands of miles to Qingchen Town to offend people.

Trying his best to hold back his hands that began to tremble due to the electric shock, Yan Wenmo's face turned even paler. After the current finally disappeared, Yan Wenmo trembled and said in his sea of ​​consciousness, almost wanting to cry but without tears:

"System, are you being unreasonable? Although the Jiang family didn't say they wanted to cancel the engagement, they didn't say they wouldn't cancel it either. Why are you so eager to announce that my mission has failed?!"

The system had obviously anticipated Yan Wenmo's frustration and grievance, so the mechanical and emotionless voice once again sounded in Yan Wenmo's consciousness:

[The Yan family of the capital has been exterminated by the Demon Lord. Therefore, your mission to save the Yan family has completely failed. It is only natural that you should accept the punishment from the system.]

The Demon Lord exterminated the clan?! The plot has gone off the deep end. Didn’t the original story say that Jiang Wenbai exterminated the Jiang family? Why did a Demon Lord suddenly appear?! What on earth happened?!
