[Ding! The female lead Jiang Ruoxi's attitude towards you has changed. You have gained 1000 villain points.]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Xiao Feiyu thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
You can't use the sweet and gentle approach to deal with a woman like Jiang Ruoxi. You have to do the opposite. First, change her attitude towards you, and then slowly conquer her.
Xiao Feiyu knew that if he used the "sweetheart" approach, he would never be able to win Jiang Ruoxi's heart.
Seeing that Jiang Ruoxi couldn't get anything out of him, Xiao Boyuan turned to Xiao Feiyu and said seriously, "Xiaoyu, are you serious? You should know that our family's cooperation with the Jiang family has already begun. If you want to use the family marriage scheme again in the future, you probably won't have the chance."
Gao Xiuwen chimed in, "Yes, Xiaoyu, your father, your grandfather, and I are very optimistic about your marriage with Ruoxi. Ruoxi is an exceptional girl; there aren't many like her in the entire Shanghai, especially when it comes to matching social status."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feiyu said, "Mom, I'm serious. A real man shouldn't worry about not having a wife. Ruoxi is indeed very good, but that doesn't mean I have to force her to be with me. She doesn't want this kind of family-arranged marriage. Even if she marries me in the future, she won't be happy. So it's better to let go sooner and let her find the life she wants."
[Ding! The female lead Jiang Ruoxi's attitude towards you has changed. You have gained 500 villain points.]
Jiang Ruoxi glanced at Xiao Feiyu gratefully. Never before had she felt so pleased with Xiao Feiyu.
Xiao Boyuan and Gao Xiuwen exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.
"Your father and I can't make the decision on this matter. I just missed you and came to see you. In a few days, I'll go back and tell your great-grandfather so he can make the decision. What do you think?" Gao Xiuwen said with a smile.
Her thinking was simple: this marriage alliance couldn't be canceled so easily, so it was better to let them continue to get to know each other and stall for time.
Xiao Feiyu's personality is unpredictable; he might change his mind about breaking off the engagement after a while.
As for Jiang Ruoxi, neither of them took her thoughts to heart.
This is how it is in marriages between large families. The woman usually disagrees, but after marriage, they still live a prosperous life.
The head of the household is doing a good job, and the mistress isn't much different.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feiyu looked at Jiang Ruoxi.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded.
"Okay, Mom, let's leave it at that for now. You must be hungry after coming all the way from Shanghai. I'll have the waiter bring the food right away."
Xiao Boyuan and Gao Xiuwen were overjoyed.
Xiao Feiyu has only been in Donghai for a few days, and his personality has changed quite a bit. He's even started to care about the elderly couple.
They all felt that this might be thanks to Jiang Ruoxi, so they were even more eager to postpone the marriage between the two.
Jiang Ruoxi was unaware of Gao Xiuwen and Xiao Boyuan's thoughts. She thought that her engagement with Xiao Feiyu would be canceled soon, and she was very happy.
"Auntie, I'll go add a few more dishes."
Watching Jiang Ruoxi follow her out, Gao Xiuwen sighed, "What a wonderful girl! Why does Xiaoyu suddenly not like her anymore?"
Xiao Boyuan said calmly, "How could he not like her? Jiang Ruoxi must have said something to him. Doesn't our son know? In the entire Shanghai, besides Jiang Ruoxi, who else would he even look at?"
Gao Xiuwen nodded: "Sigh, young people these days are really hard to deal with. Unlike us back then, we had no say in anything before marriage. The old man would just say 'get married,' and we'd be married without even realizing it."
Xiao Feiyu left the private room, and Jiang Ruoxi quickly followed.
She looked at Xiao Feiyu and said calmly, "Xiao Feiyu, no matter what you think, if the engagement is really called off this time, I'll thank you."
Xiao Feiyu said in a fake tone, "Ruoxi, I will definitely do what I say I will do. Rather than make you hate me, it would be better if we were just ordinary friends."
Jiang Ruoxi nodded. How could she be at ease when the engagement wasn't completely called off?
Xiao Feiyu watched Jiang Ruoxi walk away and sighed, "Why is it that Su Lin has several amazing women around him, and they all get along well and are deeply in love with him, while I only have Jiang Ruoxi, and I'm the one who gets rejected? What did I, Xiao Feiyu, do to deserve this?"
Thinking of how Zhao Yanyan protected Su Lin, he felt a little envious, even jealous.
What has Su Lin done to deserve such treatment from a woman like Zhao Yanyan?
There are also women like Xia Shiyu, Li Ziyu, and Lin Xiaowan, all of whom are exceptional women, yet Su Lin encountered them all and was deceived by them.
That's infuriating!
Just then, the private room next door opened.
Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan walked out of the room together.
Both of them saw Xiao Feiyu, and Lin Xiaowan immediately said angrily, "Fine, I was just thinking of asking you to avenge Yan Yan, and you delivered yourself right to my door."
Xiao Feiyu: "??????"
"Slap!" Lin Xiaowan slapped Xiao Feiyu hard across the face.
She wiped her hands on Su Lin's body with disgust.
Su Lin 2 said with a dark expression, "Xiao Wan, what do you mean by using my clothes to wipe your hands?"
"I find it dirty," Lin Xiaowan said with a look of disgust.
It wasn't until the two people started talking that Xiao Feiyu realized he had been slapped.
He immediately became enraged and was about to attack.
"Xiao Feiyu~! What are you doing?"
Xiao Feiyu, his eyes reddening, heard Jiang Ruoxi's voice and said, "Jiang Ruoxi, don't worry about anything, I'm going to do it today no matter what..."
Su Lin pulled Lin Xiaowan behind him; "Xiao Feiyu, I'd like to see what you're up to today? Trying to make a move?"
Facing Su Lin, Xiao Feiyu was still somewhat afraid. He knew that his strength was far inferior to Su Lin's, but his parents were right next door, and he had just improved his relationship with Jiang Ruoxi. If he backed down now, everything he had done today would be for nothing.
"Lin Xiaowan, what right do you have to hit me?"
Lin Xiaowan said with disgust, "Why should I hit you? Don't you know that yourself? You clearly like Sister Ruoxi, and today you even brought people to harass Yan Yan, spoke ill of Su Lin, and even had your bodyguards arrest Yan Yan. If my dad hadn't come to Donghai, Su Lin would have dealt with you, you dog... Humph."
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Xiao Feiyu with some surprise upon hearing this: "Is what Xiao Wan said true?"
"certainly...."
"Think carefully before you lie. Our supermarket is fully covered by surveillance cameras," Lin Xiaowan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feiyu fell silent. He had indeed gone to find Zhao Yanyan, and he had indeed said a lot of bad things about Su Lin, and even had his bodyguards arrest Zhao Yanyan.
"But...she hit me first. Ruoxi, listen to me..."
Jiang Ruoxi waved her hand and said, "Xiao Feiyu, you don't need to explain to me. I have nothing to do with you anymore. Aunt Gao has already said that she will go back and tell your grandfather about canceling the engagement, so these things have nothing to do with me. I have no right to ask who you want to pursue. But I want to remind you, this is not Shanghai, this is Donghai."
"Su Lin... has killed people."

[Ding! The female lead Jiang Ruoxi's attitude towards you has changed; the current state is indifferent. To prevent the host from increasing the female lead's favorability, you will no longer gain villain points after the relationship returns to normal.]
Looking at Jiang Ruoxi in front of him, Xiao Feiyu knew that all his previous efforts had been in vain. He had finally managed to change Jiang Ruoxi's attitude towards him a little, but unexpectedly, because of a chance encounter with Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, this happened and things turned out like this.
Xiao Feiyu was really frustrated because he couldn't make a move against Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan because he couldn't beat them.
"Alright, I've already ordered the food. You should go in now; your parents are waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feiyu looked at Jiang Ruoxi and asked, "Ruoxi, aren't you coming in with me?"
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head; "I won't go in. I haven't received any news from Aunt Gao, so please don't contact me again."
Seeing this, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan wisely left.
Jiang Ruoxi called out from behind, "Su Lin, Xiao Wan, wait for me, I'll go with you."
"Okay, Sister Ruoxi~!!"
Xiao Feiyu watched helplessly as Jiang Ruoxi, Su Lin, and Lin Xiaowan left together. He suddenly realized that canceling the engagement might not have been the right choice.
But the thought that I would definitely have the last laugh made me stop doubting my choice.
"Su Lin, Xiao Wan, why are you eating here again today?"
Su Lin replied, "Because this is Li family property, Xiao Wan and I don't have to pay for our meal here."
"Heh~! Is that so?"
02 Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My dad is here, so we're here to receive him."
"Oh, I see. Then why did you come out? Weren't you with your dad?"
"My dad still has some business to discuss, so we came out first. Sister Ruoxi, would you like to come with us?" Lin Xiaowan invited.
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head; she wasn't in a good mood, or rather, she felt a little uncomfortable.
If Xiao Feiyu had any redeeming qualities in her eyes before, it was his deep affection and unwavering devotion.
But after today's events, she realized that Xiao Feiyu's deep affection and devotion were all an act; he couldn't hold back his emotions after seeing Zhao Yanyan and Lin Xiaowan.
It was obvious why he wanted to break off their engagement. She didn't care that he had fallen for someone else, but she was disgusted by his behavior—he liked Su Lin's girlfriend and spoke ill of Su Lin.
Only Xiao Feiyu could pull off something like this.
So after seeing Xiao Feiyu for who he truly was, Jiang Ruoxi felt somewhat relieved; this was the true nature of a man.
I'm just a little sad. I've known Xiao Feiyu since I was a child, but I never expected to see his true colors today.
"Sister Ruoxi, what are you thinking about? We're talking to you."
Jiang Ruoxi snapped out of her reverie and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wan, I was thinking about something else."
"Ah~! It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that Su Lin and I are going back first."
Jiang Ruoxi nodded: "Okay!!"
Jiang Ruoxi felt a pang of envy as she watched Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin leave together.
Although Su Lin is a womanizer, he is very different from Xiao Feiyu. He never hides his feelings and does not favor one girlfriend over another just because he has several girlfriends. On the contrary, he feels indebted to Lin Xiaowan and the others and tries to make up for it in every way.
