Loathing, disgust, abhorrenceā€¦ Even though she was only thirteen at the time, she could still understand the emotions within his gaze.
He disliked her, and a very great deal of dislike at that.
It was then that she realized that there was a great distance between him and her.
As time passed and she grew up, she eventually came to learn that this distance wasnā€™t the only thing that stood between them.
From the very start, they were from two completely different worlds. He had come from a wealthy and noble family whereas sheā€™d been born into a poor and humble household. If not for the promises their grandfathers had made back then, their worlds would have never crossed.
While her family condition wasnā€™t so poor that she starved, it wasnā€™t wealthy enough to provide her with good living conditions either. As such, she tended to be slightly thinner than an average person, but she was by no means ugly.
Unlike him, she couldnā€™t wear a different set of beautiful and expensive clothes every day, and most of what she owned were hand-me-downs from an older relative. They were a little old, but they couldnā€™t be considered as dirtyā€¦
As for shabby-lookingā€¦
It must be said that his words had really cut deep into her younger selfā€™s dignity.
As such, even though he had eventually agreed to the child betrothal under the coercion of his grandfather, she had never once approached him as his fiancĆ©e. In school, she never spoke of their relationship to outsiders. Even the red packet money that Grandpa Lin had given to her all these years, she hadnā€™t touched it at all.
Recalling these past events, Shi Yao pressed her lips together.
She didnā€™t know what had gone wrong, but she wasnā€™t willing to stand idly by and allow him to frame her as he wished. However, she didnā€™t want to fight with him either. Thus, she chose to turn around and leave silently.
Unfortunately, her actions only served to fuel the rage burning in Lin Jiageā€™s heart.
Sheā€™s the cause of this mess, and yet, sheā€™s just going to leave as if itā€™s got nothing to do with her?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Jiageā€™s hand reached forward to grab Shi Yaoā€™s wrist.
She was walking quickly, so Lin Jiageā€™s hand missed and pulled the bag in her hand instead.
His movement was extremely forceful, and with a loud ā€˜ shua ā€˜, the bag was torn apartā€”the four slices of cake packed inside splattered onto the muddy ground.
Shi Yao froze as she stiffly looked down at the cake slices on the ground.
The cake is no longer edibleā€¦
Shi Yao subconsciously clenched her fists with rage.
She stared at the cake on the ground for a very long time before she raised her head to glare angrily at Lin Jiage, ā€œIā€™ll tell you one last timeā€”I didnā€™t meet Grandpa Lin, I didnā€™t complain about you to him, and I have no intentions of playing hard to get!
ā€œAlso, you shouldnā€™t be so narcissistic and think that everyone likes you. I donā€™t like you in the least, and Iā€™ve never thought about marrying you!
ā€œSo, donā€™t go overboard, or elseā€¦ā€
Shi Yao had always been an obedient child, and she rarely argued with others. She had to rack her brain for a very long time before she could come up with something that she felt was extremely vicious, ā€œā€¦or else you might starve to death!
ā€œAlso, did you see those messages I sent you in the last two days? Do you need me to repeat myself?ā€
Shi Yao really started reading back the message word for word, ā€œWhen do you plan on telling your family that our engagement is canceled?
ā€œSo, can you give me an exact time here? Donā€™t think that Iā€™m unaware that you already have a girlfriend!
ā€œIs it really a good thing to carry on such a meaningless connection with me when you already have a girlfriend? Donā€™t you think youā€™re letting her down?ā€
