When they returned to the party, gentle music was playing in the courtyard of the villa. It was time for the dance, and many female guests were dancing on the grass.
Tang Zhiyan was also among them. As the star of the night, she was like a crane in a flock of chickens. She had a family background, good looks, temperament, and ability. Her brilliance was so dazzling that many female guests were envious.
However, Tang Zhiyan was very troubled at the moment.
She had thought that she could break away from the engagement, but in the end, it turned out to be an empty love.
Thinking about how she would still be pestered by the Xia Family's rich young master in the future, how could Tang Zhiyan be happy?
At this moment, a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from behind her and hugged her waist without any restraint. Then, Xia Ze's voice sounded in her ear,""Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Zhiyan's face turned cold. Did this guy think that I could do whatever I wanted just because I didn't dare to be rude at my birthday party?
I'll teach him a lesson now!
She turned around abruptly and was about to slap Xia Ze.
"I can still give you a chance to cancel the engagement!”
"What?"
Tang Zhiyan's hand stopped.
This sentence had a huge impact on her.
Xia Ze smiled." I can take the initiative to break off the engagement with you. However, I have a condition!"”
Tang Zhiyan was a little surprised.
This guy had been pestering him for so long. Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Or is he trying to trick me?
She frowned." Xia Ze, what are you trying to do?"”
Xia Ze smiled." Don't doubt my sincerity. I'm very serious!"”
"How much do you want?" Tang Zhiyan asked in a deep voice.”
She had misunderstood. She only thought that Xia Ze wanted to use the engagement to extort money from her.
"I don't want any money, but I need time!”
Xia Ze extended a finger." We'll call off our engagement in a year!"”
"It's that simple?" Tang Zhiyan couldn't believe it.”
"Yes, but within this year, you have to interact with me as my fiancée!”
"Impossible!"
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me. Let me finish first. I don't need you to sleep with me, but in front of others, you have to pretend to accept me. In other words, we have to put on a show together to make everyone think that we're already together!”
"What's your motive for doing this?" Tang Zhiyan asked suspiciously.”
"It's very simple. I want to win back the trust of the family!”
" To be honest," Xia Ze said leisurely," I used to pester you not because you're beautiful or irresistible. It's because you're the second daughter of the Tang family. As long as I successfully marry you, my status in the family will definitely rise by a lot! So, even if you are a beauty or an ugly woman, I will still chase after you!”
Tang Zhiyan was speechless.
Xia Ze's words were a little hurtful.
Tang Zhiyan said proudly.
It was difficult to find another woman like her in the entire Shanghai. There were many bootlickers, so Tang Zhiyan was full of confidence.
However, this man who had been pestering her for a long time suddenly said that he only liked the benefits brought by her family background. This was definitely a big blow to a proud beauty, even if she hated this man.
What right do you have!
Tang Zhiyan's expression became a little unnatural.
Xia Ze saw this and laughed in his heart.
Tang Zhiyan, aren't you arrogant? Today, I'm going to kill your spirit!
"But now I've changed my mind. It's not sweet to force a melon. It's just that our engagement can't be canceled immediately. After all, this isn't just a private matter between me and you, but also the Xia family and the Tang family's face. When the two families are angry, neither you nor I will have a good time, right?”
Tang Zhiyan fell into deep thought.
Xia Ze's words did make sense.
Although she had fallen out with her family, it was just a moment of anger. She could not really cut ties with them.
It would be best if this matter could be resolved peacefully.
"If we put on a show together, it would be a different story. On the surface, we are together, but we slowly realize that we are not suitable for each other. Our relationship is getting worse and worse, and we fight all day long. Even if we break up a year later, our families can't say anything else. After all, we have worked hard and tried.”
Xia Ze continued.
"Within this year, the old master will definitely change his attitude towards me. I have a chance to regain his trust, and you can also repair your relationship with the Tang family.”
Tang Zhiyan was a little tempted.
Xia Ze's suggestion was indeed not bad.
She couldn't think of a better way.
If it was an engagement from an ordinary family, as long as one party didn't like it, they would naturally break it off if they wanted to, and there would be no scruples.
However, this kind of marriage between large families indeed involved too many problems, especially face. This was something that could not be lost.
Take the Tang family for example. They would never agree to Tang Zhiyan's request to cancel the engagement just because she hated her fiancé. Otherwise, the Tang family would not have a foothold in Shanghai.
Therefore, although Tang Zhiyan's parents doted on their daughter, they didn't give in to her, as if they would cut ties with her if she didn't lower her head.
Her heart wavered, but Tang Zhiyan said,"Who knows if you'll go back on your word a year later and refuse to call off the engagement!”
"Do you have a choice?" Xia Ze scoffed. If you continue like this, you won't be able to cancel the engagement even if it takes three or five years, let alone one year. Unless you decide to cut off all ties with the Tang family and your parents and not be a member of the Tang family. Otherwise, you can only choose to believe me!”
At this point, the cynical smile on Xia Ze's face disappeared. His starry eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light that was as sharp as a knife."Also, Tang Zhiyan, don't think too highly of yourself. Now you think I'm not worthy, but a year later, it's hard to say who's not worthy!”
Tang Zhiyan's delicate body trembled.
Xia Ze's entire body was exuding an intimidating aura.
Without his sloppy and frivolous ways, he was like the overlord of the world. His words carried weight and were unquestionable!
Xia Ze had such confidence.
His background was impressive enough!
The Xia family in the capital was a famous existence in the capital!
He was also very handsome. Just his face alone was enough to charm many women who only cared about looks.
What he lacked was only achievements.
However, Xia Ze now had 900 million yuan in his hands. Coupled with his experience as a reborn, he firmly believed that the vast majority of people in this world would only be able to look up to him in a year's time!
