Chapter 5
Yu Huang had long expected Xuanyuan Jing to break off the engagement, so she was mentally prepared.
Finally, the marriage was canceled. Yu Huang felt her entire body relax.
When she returned to the ward, Yu Huang had just put the things away when Yu Rufeng and Li Pingping rushed over. As soon as they arrived, they ran straight to Yu Huang and asked anxiously, “Yu Huang, did Young Master Xuanyuan come here? What did he say to you?”
The last time Yu Rufeng had called Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Jing had just learned that Yu Huang’s face had been disfigured. He was feeling conflicted, and he didn’t give an accurate answer. Thus, when they learned that Xuanyuan Jing had personally come to see Yu Huang, they rushed over in a hurry to know if the engagement had been called off or not.
Yu Huang had been injured for more than a month, and during this period, she had only seen Yu Rufeng and his wife two to three times. She stared at her adoptive parents, who had rushed over frantically and could not help but laugh mockingly. With this laugh, her ugly face became even more terrifying.
Seeing her sinister smile, Yu Rufeng and Li Pingping felt a chill down their backs.
Yu Huang mocked them mercilessly. “It’s been 20 days since I was hospitalized. During this period, I’ve only seen you guys twice. The first time was when I was hospitalized, and you came to help me with the paperwork. The second time was when you came to take photos and post on Weibo for sympathy points. I thought Father and Mother were really busy. Why did you come when Young Master Xuanyuan just left?”
“Should I say that you guys are too busy or too free?”
After hearing Yu Huang’s question, Yu Rufeng and his wife’s expressions were somewhat ugly and awkward.
In the past, Yu Huang was not someone who was willing to listen to orders. However, back then, on account of them raising her, she would still show them some respect. However, the current Yu Huang was an old demon that had lived for two hundred years.
She could be their great-grandmother, so why would she show them any respect?
Li Pingping was thick-skinned. She reprimanded Yu Huang with a stern expression. “How can you speak like that?! We have been so busy these past few days because of your breach of contract that we didn’t even have time to sleep properly. How can you talk to us like this?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Realizing that her tone was to harsh, Li Pingping took a deep breath, and then a stiff and unsightly smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. She pretended to be amiable as she asked Yu Huang, “What did Young Master Xuanyuan say to you? Is your marriage agreement… still valid?”
Yu Huang took in Li Pingping’s expectant expression and said very calmly, “My engagement with Xuanyuan Jing has been officially annulled. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!”
The hope in Li Pingping and Yu Rufeng’s eyes instantly vanished when they heard this.
Yu Rufeng’s brows furrowed deeply, as she looked at Yu Huang with eyes filled with disappointment and resentment.
The pleasant expression on Li Pingping’s face faded away, and she resumed her fierce appearance. She mercilessly took her anger out on Yu Huang. “Look at you. Why can’t you even keep a man? Now that you’re disfigured, it’s impossible for you to continue working in the entertainment industry in the future! The Xuanyuan family is such a noble family. As the saying goes, a great tree provides shade. If you lose the big tree, Xuanyuan Jing, you won’t have any good days in the future!”
“Do you think you’re still drop dead gorgeous? Do you think all the men are lining up to woo you?” The more Li Pingping spoke, the colder Yu Huang’s expression became.
After Li Pingping finished speaking, Yu Huang laughed with ridicule.
She pointed at her right face and mocked Li Pingping. “Even my adoptive parents who have been with me for 15 years despise my ugly face. If I film a ghost film, no one will even dare to watch it. Xuanyuan Jing lusted after my beauty, so he naturally despises my ugliness. This isn’t strange.”
When they heard this, their expressions stiffened.
They could hear the hidden meaning behind Yu Huang’s words. Yu Huang was telling them that Yu Huang had heard everything that the couple had said in the ward the day she was hospitalized!
Li Pingping pulled two chairs over and sat together with Yu Rufeng in front of Yu Huang. “Since you already know, then let’s talk openly.”
The three of them looked at each other for a moment. Yu Rufeng was the first to speak, “These few days, your mother and I have been handling the matter of you breaking the contract. Currently, you still have a drama and two endorsements. This time, you broke the contract by disfiguring yourself. You need to pay a penalty of 43 million. According to the contract agreement, the produc
