Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth, "Of course, she even got into Jun Shao's car right in front of me. She must think she can't cling to our Jiang family, so she seamlessly attaches herself to another family. Truly a shameless woman!"
Jiang Qi's face wasn't looking good; he hadn't canceled his engagement with Si Fan yet, and she dared get into another man's car. Isn't that blatantly putting a green hat on his head?
If this gets out, where would Jiang Qi put his face?!
The more Jiang Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his large hand and said immediately, "Mom, the engagement has to be canceled. We can't delay even a moment!"
If it gets postponed even for a moment, his head would become a vast green grassland!
That damned Si Fan—if he found out she dared to put a green hat on him, he'd kill her!
Mrs. Jiang soothed, "I've already asked Jiang Qin to have Si Fan come to the Jiang family to cancel the engagement voluntarily; there's no need to rush."
Jiang Qi frowned, "They said they'd voluntarily come to cancel the engagement. Did they say when?"
Mrs. Jiang recalled carefully, "No, they didn't."
Jiang Qi's face was extremely poor, "That's just it. They keep saying they'll cancel the engagement, but who knows when they'll actually come? If they delay day after day, or even until the day of the engagement party, what then?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned, "You're right, I was careless. I didn't ask them when they'd come to cancel the engagement. If they don't come, my warning would've been for nothing!"
Jiang Qi spoke up, "So, we'd better go to the Si family first to confirm. If necessary, force them to sign a cancellation agreement, and we can part ways completely, never to associate again!"
Mrs. Jiang tentatively asked, "Shall we go to the Si family now?"
Jiang Qi: "Hmm!"
"Let's go. Words alone aren't enough; it's better to draft and sign an agreement!"
Mother and son agreed unanimously to personally visit the Si family to find Jiang Qin and Si Fan, to sign the agreement and sever ties cleanly.
After all, with an agreement in place, it wouldn't matter even if Si Fan regretted it in the end.
At that time, they were unaware of Jiang Qin and Si Fan leaving the Si family.
After all, family scandal shouldn't be aired out—Si Mingyuan kept the news tightly guarded.
......
The sun had set.
At this moment, the Shenghuang Hotel was bathed in a layer of golden twilight, like wearing a golden robe, adding a touch of sacred aura.
The black Cayenne slowly stopped at the hotel entrance.
Murong Xiang glanced out the window, looked at Jiang Qin with a surprised expression, "You're staying at a hotel?"
Weren't they driving back to the Si family?
Jiang Qin didn't know how to explain, so she simply made a sound and gave Murong Xiang an awkward smile.
This was why she didn't want Murong Xiang to drive them here; after all, in the eyes of others, she's still Mrs. Si, being known to stay at a hotel—what's that all about?
Primarily not wanting people to gossip behind her back.
If things got blown up, it would be hard to handle.
Murong Xiang seemed to have realized something and didn't continue asking. Instead, she laughed and changed the topic.
"Well, Mrs. Si, once unfamiliar, twice familiar. We've ridden in the same car; we're not strangers. How about exchanging contact information?"
"Huh?" Jiang Qin was a bit taken aback. Wasn't it just a simple gesture, giving them a lift?
How did it suddenly come to exchanging contact information?
Seeing Jiang Qin's reaction, Murong Xiang felt a bit disappointed, "What's wrong? Inconvenient?"
Jiang Qin couldn't withstand it and nodded, "Convenient, of course convenient."
She thought to herself, even if she gave her contact information to Mrs. Jun, the other party might not really contact her.
It's just a contact, not something unspeakable—might as well give it.
Thus, the two exchanged contact information.
While Murong Xiang and Jiang Qin exchanged contact details, Jun Yan's gaze was fixed on Si Fan, piercing and mysterious.
Si Fan's beautiful slender hand brushed the buckle of the seatbelt, clicking it open.
Afterward, she cast a faint glance at Jun Yan and lazily asked, "Got something?"
Jun Yan gazed at her, his dark eyes deepening as he remained silent for a few seconds. Just before he could react, he was met with Murong Xiang's sharp gaze.
Murong Xiang even subtly nudged him with her foot, high heels poking at his thigh.
In her heart, she was anxious.
Son, oh son, hurry and give some reaction.
Your mother has already given you a demonstration, why aren't you quickly imitating me?!
Don't be foolish enough to let the opportunity slip by!!!
Seemingly unable to withstand Murong Xiang's coercive gaze, Jun Yan pulled a card from his pocket and slowly extended it to Si Fan, "Miss Si, my contact information."
Si Fan: "..."
Murong Xiang was afraid Si Fan wouldn't take it, so she quickly snatched the card from Jun Yan's hand, stuffed it into Si Fan's arms, smiling warmly, "Ah, girl, just take it. My son particularly likes helping others. Should you need anything, you can call my son; he will surely help with whatever he can!"
"Helpful" Jun Yan smiled faintly, seemingly tacitly agreeing with his mother's words.
Jiang Qin widened her eyes, unable to agree, "Ah, Mrs. Jun, how can I accept this?"
Murong Xiang: "There's nothing to feel awkward about; let's just be friends."
After speaking, she looked at Si Fan with a cheerful smile.
"Right, Si girl?"
Si Fan picked up the card, playing with it with her beautiful fingertips, lazily glanced at Jun Yan, and casually uttered a sound.
Jun Yan brazenly stared at her, his ink-black eyes growing darker.
Murong Xiang beamed happily upon seeing Si Fan accept the card.
She very affectionately patted Jiang Qin on the shoulder, "Mrs. Si, as mothers, we shouldn't meddle too much in young people's matters. Everyone has the right and freedom to make friends."
"But..." Jiang Qin worried, the two are of mismatched backgrounds—can they really be friends?
"No buts, what floor are you staying on? Do you want my son to help carry your luggage up?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin quickly waved her hands, "No need, you've kindly given us a lift, and we're very grateful. We can't trouble you further; we don't have much stuff anyway!"
Murong Xiang didn't want to be overly enthusiastic either—too much would seem insincere.
After all, she knew very well that with some people and matters, gradual progress is best. Heart can't be rushed, can't be hasty.
She nodded, "Alright, then I'll arrange to meet you some time for a shopping trip."
Jiang Qin didn't dare agree, just thanked Murong Xiang again and took a few bags, opened the car door, and stepped out.
Si Fan also opened the car door and stepped out, regrouping with Jiang Qin.
The next moment, they heard the driver's seat door opening with a click.
A turn of the head revealed Jun Yan's tall figure stepping out, walking to the trunk, lifting out several shopping bags.
He walked leisurely towards Si Fan and Jiang Qin with his eyes falling on Si Fan's clear and alluring peach blossom eyes, his lips curling with casual indifference, and a deep, magnetic voice, "I have a habit... of helping others to the end."
