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 wasnāt 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 sheād 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 wasnāt so poor that she starved, it wasnāt 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 couldnāt 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 couldnāt be considered as dirtyā¦
As for shabby-lookingā¦
It must be said that his words had really cut deep into her younger selfās dignity.
Recalling these past events, Shi Yao pressed her lips together.
She didnāt know what had gone wrong, but she wasnāt willing to stand idly by and allow him to frame her as he wished. However, she didnāt 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 Jiageās heart.
Sheās the cause of this mess, and yet, sheās just going to leave as if itās got nothing to do with her?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Jiageās hand reached forward to grab Shi Yaoās wrist.
She was walking quickly, so Lin Jiageās 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 apartāthe 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, āIāll tell you one last timeāI didnāt meet Grandpa Lin, I didnāt complain about you to him, and I have no intentions of playing hard to get!
āAlso, you shouldnāt be so narcissistic and think that everyone likes you. I donāt like you in the least, and Iāve never thought about marrying you!
āSo, donāt 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, āā¦or else you might starve to death!
āAlso, 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, āWhen do you plan on telling your family that our engagement is canceled?
āSo, can you give me an exact time here? Donāt think that Iām unaware that you already have a girlfriend!
āIs it really a good thing to carry on such a meaningless connection with me when you already have a girlfriend? Donāt you think youāre letting her down?ā
