They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

Actually, Jiang Yanran wanted Lin Mo to speak up for her.

In the past few days when they met, Lin Mo had always respected her wishes, maintaining a proper distance.

But now, she hadn’t expected Lin Mo to be so assertive on the point of the marriage arrangement.

Was this the exposure of his lecherous nature?

Was all her previous imagery a facade?

Or was it that, knowing she was already a prodigy, she couldn’t wait to get married?

Whichever it was, it made her feel sick.

Indeed, the thought of leaving this man was right.

Lin Nantian sensed something was amiss. His grandson had already given in so much, yet this girl from the Jiang family was still hesitant, showing no sign of agreement.

His face darkened slightly, “Yanran girl, why are you still hesitating?”

The atmosphere in the room began to shift.

All eyes of the guests and the Lin family were on them.

At this moment, the girl in white standing beside Jiang Yanran spoke up.

“Old Master Lin, Yanran only sees Lin Mo as a brother, with no romantic feelings.”

The girl in white spoke unhurriedly, maintaining a calm demeanor in the face of Lin Nantian.

Many in the room were curious about the girl’s identity.

Lin Nantian narrowed his eyes, his expression growing darker: “And who might you be? Since when is it your turn to speak here?”

As he spoke, he was far from courteous. After all, he was a man who had nearly reached the realm of Divided Spirit, his imposing aura pressing down on the girl, intending to embarrass her as a form of reprimand.

To Lin Nantian’s surprise, the girl in white showed no change in expression, revealing her background: “I am Yanran’s senior sister, from the Hanbing Palace.”

‘Oh, is she using the Hanbing Palace to pressure my grandfather?’ Lin Mo sneered inwardly. Jiang Yanran’s level of disgust was no less than Shen Ke’er’s.

Lin Nantian’s expression shifted slightly. The Hanbing Palace, one of the five top-tier immortal sects, only the Lin family of the upper realms could contend with them.

The intention behind the Hanbing Palace girl’s words was clear.

Suppressing the rage in his heart, Lin Nantian asked coldly, “This is a matter between the Lin and Jiang families. Even if Jiang Yanran has entered the Hanbing Palace, it seems you have no reason to intervene.”

He no longer addressed Jiang Yanran as ‘girl’, calling her by name instead.

The girl in white remained composed: “On the grounds that the Hanbing Palace has already taken the Jiang family under its wing, would you say that’s reason enough?”

Her words shocked everyone present.

No one expected the Hanbing Palace to become the Jiang family’s patron, meaning that the Hanbing Palace would come to their aid in any affair.

The Lin family had reached their current status because of connections in the upper realms. However, unless a collateral bloodline was on the brink of extinction, the Lin family of the upper realms would not intervene.

In the past, the Lin family’s influence had always overshadowed the Jiang family. Now, it seemed the Jiang family had risen above the Lin family.

Although he already knew the outcome, Lin Nantian still asked with a stern face, “So, what do you propose?”

The girl in white’s expression was indifferent: “An annulment. People aspire to rise higher, and water flows to lower ground. A match of equals, surely Old Master Lin understands this principle.”

“Our palace master is quite fond of Yanran as a disciple, so we respect her wishes and will choose a match that suits her current status.”

In Lin Nantian’s hand, the teacup shattered into powder: “Does Old Man Jiang know about this?”

The girl in white smiled, “You needn’t worry, I will handle it well on that end.”

Upon hearing of the annulment, the expressions of those present varied.

Many guests and members of the Lin family started to see Lin Mo as a joke.

Looking at Lin Nantian’s extremely gloomy face, and thinking of the Hanbing Palace and the Nangong family standing behind her, she still spoke up, “I would ask Grandfather Lin to promise to dissolve this marriage engagement.”

The marriage contract between Lin Mo and her was set by Lin Nantian and her grandfather.

By the command of the parents, the matchmaker’s word, as long as Lin Nantian spoke up, at least the relationship between the two families wouldn’t be completely broken.

Lin Nantian looked towards Lin Mo: “Mo’er, what do you think?”

At this moment, Lin Zhan angrily stood up and shouted: “Mo’er, speak your mind without worry, your father will definitely support you.”

Saying this, he glanced at Gu Ningxin once more and added: “Your mother supports you too.”

At this time, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren stood on the same front.

After all, they were the seeds of the Upper Realm’s Lin family, and they had their pride.

Even if Lin Mo really fell out with the Jiang family, they would see it through to the end.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Lin Mo.

They were all wondering what attitude this young man would take.

Lin Mo’s expression was indifferent as he spoke to Jiang Yanran: “Is the annulment also your wish?”

Some questions, even though he already knew the answer, he had to ask clearly, and this was also for the original owner.

Jiang Yanran was resolute, looking straight into Lin Mo’s eyes: “It is my wish too, all these years, I’ve always treated you as a brother.”

Heh, Lin Mo sneered in his heart.

For so many years, the original owner had sent Jiang Yanran elixirs and rare spiritual plants every year.

Now that Jiang Yanran had successfully formed her core at the seventh rank, becoming a prodigy and then seeking an annulment after being accepted into the Hanbing Palace.

Doesn’t this resemble those ancient times, when women who silently earned money to support their husbands through hard studies, and when the husband passed the imperial examination, they would not remember the old affection of their wives and discard them to marry a princess instead?

Oh, it should be a scoundrel woman.

The current Jiang Yanran was no different from such people.

Especially the last sentence, ‘I’ve always treated you as a brother,’ a classic statement that couldn’t be more classic from a scoundrel woman.

Lin Mo was not angry but instead smiled, he asked lightly: “Over these years, have I ever wronged you?”

Jiang Yanran thought Lin Mo would be very angry, but she didn’t expect him to actually smile.

What did this mean?

Not only did she not understand, but others were also confused.

Could it be that Lin Mo couldn’t accept reality, and something was wrong with his mind?

Jiang Yanran shook her head: “No!”

“Who said I haven’t?”

This shout immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

The shouter was Nangong Xu, who was quite agitated at the moment. He remembered the scholars’ gathering at Jiangyue Tower, where Lin Mo had won the laurels and spent a night with the beautiful Yan Ruyu.

If not for Lin Mo, he would have been the one to spend that enchanting night with Yan Ruyu.

Old grudges and new hatreds were to be settled together.

Lin Mo, of course, knew what Nangong Xu was thinking. With a smile, he looked at him and asked, “Esteemed Nangong, have we met before? What proof do you have that I’ve wronged Jiang Yanyan?”

Although he indeed had, it was against his will.

And besides, the original host hadn’t done it.

He was certain that Nangong Xu wouldn’t dare to speak of the incident at Jiangyue Tower.

Nangong Xu, upon seeing Lin Mo’s smile, suddenly realized something was amiss.

He was also a party involved; speaking out would definitely affect Jiang Yanyan’s opinion of him.

From noble mtl dot come

With this thought, he could only swallow his anger and, with a stern face, retracted his accusation: “I mistook you for someone else.”

‘Tch’, just when they thought there was a juicy story, the crowd felt disappointed.

Jiang Yanyan also looked at Nangong Xu’s maneuver, utterly baffled.

Lin Mo steered the conversation back on track: “Since I haven’t wronged you, it’s time we settled our accounts.”
