Lin Rui tilted her head and quickly matched their identities to the people in her memory.
The boy’s name was Ouyang Jin, and he was the heir of the Ouyang Family, as well as Lin Rui’s childhood sweetheart.
The girl was Lin Xiao, Xu Man’s biological daughter, and Lin Zikang’s stepdaughter.
She was Lin Rui’s younger sister in name.
Lin Rui looked up composedly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lin Rui’s words were emotionless.
After all, at this moment, Lin Rui did not take Ouyang Jin or Lin Xiao, who was next to him, seriously.
All Lin Rui wanted to do now was to cultivate and then look for Xing.
However, Ouyang Jin still felt the detachment and aloofness in Lin Rui’s tone.
He thought, ‘Could this be Lin Rui’s new trick?’
‘Lin Rui trying to play hard to get to make me interested in her?’
A trace of disgust flashed in Ouyang Jin’s eyes.
He said indifferently, “Lin Rui, I’m here to break the engagement with you! I know you won’t agree, but I can’t stand you anymore! Your grades are in the gutter, and you’re always going to bars or internet cafes to play video games. This time, you even joined a car race with others. You’re a terrible driver, and yet, you joined a race? I, Ouyang Jin, will never want a brainless fiancée like you! Therefore, we must cancel the engagement!”
“Sure.”
Ouyang Jin was stunned.
Lin Xiao, who was right beside him and was about to say something, was stunned.
‘What, she agreed so readily!?!’
Lin Xiao recalled that her mother had told her in the past few days that Lin Rui had been acting strangely ever since she regained consciousness.
She couldn’t help but size up Lin Rui who was sitting on the hospital bed.
Perhaps because the two of them had been remaining silent for a little too long, Lin Rui looked up with a cold gleam in her eyes.
She told them to leave.
“Are you done talking? If you are, go out, I’d like to get some rest.”
Ouyang Jin did not remember how he left the ward.
This time, he could not stand it any longer. He had prepared many reasons and excuses and was bent to cut off all ties with Lin Rui.
Yet, he did not get to say any of the lines that he had carefully prepared to say.
Lin Rui actually agreed to call off their engagement so readily.
Although at the bottom of his heart, he was still extremely displeased with Lin Rui, he felt that Lin Rui still had a positive quality when he saw how readily she had agreed.
At the very least, she had a sense of self-awareness.
Ouyang Jin left the ward without saying a single word.
Lin Xiao was rather worried.
She still remembered that Ouyang Jin froze for a moment when he first saw Lin Rui.
At the thought of Lin Rui’s gorgeous appearance…
Lin Xiao sped up and to keep up with Ouyang Jin’s pace.
She said softly, “Brother Jin, do you really want to break off your engagement with my elder sister? She really fancies you a lot after all. She must have said those things in a moment of anger just now. My mother also said that my sister has been in a particularly bad mood ever since she got injured. Don’t get upset at her.”
Although on the surface, she seemed to be asking Ouyang Jin not to break off the engagement with Lin Rui and not to get mad at her, Lin Rui was actually trying to say that Lin Rui was insensible and ill-tempered.
She was also trying to sound him out.
Ouyang Jin was two years older than Lin Xiao and Lin Rui. He obviously knew what Lin Xiao’s intentions were.
This time, Ouyang Jin brought Lin Xiao along because he was worried that Lin Rui would continue pestering him.
However, there was no longer a need for that.
Ouyang Jin looked at Lin Xiao with a deep gaze.
“Lin Xiao, you’re still young. Study hard. I have something else to do, I’ll get going now.”
