Chapter 17 The Heiress Who Was Rejected from the Engagement
While the two of them were enjoying a peaceful life, the other side was in complete chaos.
Gao Qianning looked at Qi Qingran with disappointment, almost unable to believe what she had just heard.
"You're saying you want to marry someone else to get through the company's difficulties?"
Qi Qingran turned her face slightly to avoid Gao Qianning's accusing gaze, but her silent acquiescence only made Gao Qianning suffer more.
At that moment, she felt utterly ridiculous.
She gave almost everything for Qi Qingran, enduring torment in every aspect, from her body to her dignity.
All she wanted was to be with him.
But what did Qi Qingran do?
If Ling Yi hadn't shown up at the wedding that time, would he have just gone along with it and married her?
And this time, how did he have the audacity to so brazenly say that he wanted to marry someone else?
"What about me? What am I supposed to do?" In her utter despair, she calmed down and became as docile as ever.
Qi Qingran relaxed upon hearing the familiar tone of the voice, cleared her throat, and said, "Shall we be like before? I won't let you down, I will definitely marry you."
Once he gets through this crisis, he will be completely free.
Moreover, he didn't like the wife his father had chosen for him. Although she had inherited the family business, she was a terrible person.
He couldn't count all the male companions he saw on one hand.
But this was already the best marriage prospect that Qi's father could find for him.
After that annulment of the engagement, anyone who has any requirements for a son-in-law would not choose Qi Qingran.
The heir was different. On the day of the blind date, she brought her male companion and told him that as long as she gave birth to a child who could inherit both families, he could go and play with whomever he wanted, and no one would miss out on anyone else.
After it was determined that a DNA test would be required for the child to be born, Qi Qingran reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
He even went further, declaring that he would not accept an unfaithful wife, much less a child born to an unfaithful mother.
Once he recovers, he will let them leave his world and have a suitable heir with his beloved.
Same as before?
Gao Qianning used all her strength to stop herself from trembling. Did Qi Qingran mean that he would have a grand wedding and then make her a shameful third party, inferior to others?
As for his guarantee?
After being rejected twice, Gao Qianning had already come to terms with reality.
This second-generation rich kid, whom she thought was easy to control, turned out to be far more ruthless than she imagined.
When nothing is happening, he can naturally indulge in romantic escapades with himself.
But whenever any trouble happens around him, the first one to be abandoned is inevitably her, who has no use to him.
Gao Qianning truly loved him, a love that transcended any self-interest.
Even though the initial opportunity to get close to him was not pure, she still fell for the tenderness and surprises he gave her.
So when she appeared at the wedding, she truly harbored a longing for love, hoping that he would break free from the constraints of his family and be with her.
So it doesn't matter if he's not the heir, or if he's not the best he could choose. What does it matter if he has to pay a price to be with the person he loves?
Now, this aspiration has been shattered by Qi Qingran.
She looked at Qi Qingran's cloudy eyes in despair, unable to find any trace of his former sincerity, nor the flames of love that once seemed to ignite her passion.
The headstrong young man eventually turned into a disgusting monster driven by self-interest.
"Let's end this." At this moment, Gao Qianning finally made up her mind.
She would never allow herself to wait in despair for a promise, much less become his mistress.
Gao Qianning had met the woman he was betrothed to, and she was not someone easy to get along with. Gao Qianning did not want to be confronted at her door one day and end up losing both her dignity and her money.
"What did you say?" Qi Qingran never expected Gao Qianning to reject him.
When he said those words, he was already certain that Gao Qianning would not refute his decision.
She was the most docile and the most understanding.
She will definitely understand his thoughts, and she will gently be his confidante, becoming his haven when he is tired.
The sudden rejection caused Qi Qingran's face to contort for a moment, his handsome features instantly turning repulsive.
"I'm tired. I don't want to be stuck in this hopeless waiting anymore." Gao Qianning pretended not to see the ferocity in his eyes, calmly picked up her bag and walked towards the door: "You go and arrange your marriage. I can have my own life too. We're over!"
"Stop!" Qi Qingran was furious. All the grievances, resentment, and anger that he had been unable to vent on his partners of the same level were now directed at Gao Qianning.
"Why are you leaving? I've given you so much money, what are you dissatisfied with?" The lips that once uttered sweet words now spoke words that were utterly vile: "Do you even know what price a woman like you costs?"
"I can give you more, a house, a car, as long as you stay here obediently!"
This is the person who obeys him the most, how can he leave?
Gao Qianning watched him silently as he lost all manners, as he revealed his ugly side, his smile more like a grimace.
So this is how he sees me.
That's fine, that's fine...
"Qi Qingran." She stopped Qi Qingran's outburst, her tone lightly mocking: "Give me money, what else can you give me?"
"Won't the Qi family take back the things you gave away?"
What right do people who can't even be their own masters have to talk about giving?
The wealthy have always used a variety of legal means. If the Qi family suddenly becomes unhappy with her, it would be easy for them to take back the things that Qi Qingran gave away.
Gao Qianning has already made a foolish mistake once; she won't do it again.
She was more inclined to believe the large sum of money she could get right now than the worthless promises of a stray dog.
Once she gets the money, she can go abroad and change her living environment.
When that time comes, no one will recognize her, and no one will mention her and Qi Qingran's unsavory past anymore, then she will have more possibilities.
After taking a deep look at the man who had given her love and then brought her defeat, Gao Qianning turned and left without hesitation, leaving Qi Qingran behind to smash everything in sight.
The elevator numbers jumped rapidly, and when it opened in front of the garage, Gao Qianning saw two middle-aged men who were already waiting there.
She squeezed the bag in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Take me to see the people behind you."
Shortly after Qi Qingran woke up, a group of people contacted her and asked her to do something.
Gao Qianning didn't know what that matter was, but the people she found told her that she had to leave the country after she finished doing it, or she would die.
Their demonstrated strength convinced Gao Qianning of their words, but at that time she still held a sliver of hope for Qi Qingran and hesitated to agree to their conditions.
Gao Qianning vividly remembers the mockery on those people's faces at that time; they looked at her as if she were a fool who overestimated herself and deliberately walked into the quagmire.
Now, the fool has voluntarily stepped out of the swamp.
All she wants is money!
