nThe Xu Parents’ expressions immediately turned ugly. “Humph, since Jiang Man isn’t marrying yet, you can’t keep asking us for betrothal gifts, right?”

n

nJiang Li, who was sitting at the side obediently, suddenly said, “Yes, uncle and auntie. Actually, I’ve been looking forward to getting married as soon as possible.”

n

n“Did you hear that? It’s Manman who wants to get married, so why are you still rejecting her? !”

n

nMother Xu was so aggressive that Father Jiang and Mother Jiang’s expressions turned ugly. They hinted at Jiang Li to change her words several times, but Jiang Li ignored them.

n

nThis damn girl!

n

nJiang Li even added fuel to the fire. As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Xu Sijian. “I like Young Master Xu very much too.”

n

nJust then, the door was opened again.

n

nFu Jiuxiao came in and saw this scene. Jiang Li was smiling sweetly at Xu Sijian.

n

nFu Jiuxiao’s face was cold as he stared straight at Jiang Li. His grayish-blue eyes were filled with a chilling light.

n

nJiang Li,”…”

n

nWhat was Fu Jiuxiao doing at this time?

n

nThinking that Jiang Li was acting as the cute and weak Jiang Man at that moment, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to be frightened.

n

nJiang Li did not want him to know that she was doing such a demeaning thing.

n

nAt this moment, Fu Jiuxiao’s fully armed bodyguards rushed into the Jiang family and surrounded the Jiang parents, the Xu family, and Jiang Li, who all were sitting in the living room. Everyone suddenly became nervous.

n

nThe Jiang parents were so scared that their legs went weak.

n

n“Ninth Master, why are you here?”

n

n“Sit, sit.”

n

n“…”

n

nFu Jiuxiao did not say a word.

n

nEveryone present suddenly felt a lot of pressure. They did not know why Ninth Master, who had always lived in seclusion, suddenly appeared.

n

nIt looked like he was here to confiscate the family.

n

nNo one dared to say anything. They looked at him with trembling eyes.

n

n“Am I disturbing you? If I’m late, you’ll already be the Young Madam of the Xu family.”

n

nFu Jiuxiao’s voice was cold.

n

nJiang Li had no choice but to look up, showing a very touched and expectant expression.

n

n“Yes, being able to marry brother Sijian is Manman’s greatest happiness. Ninth Master, are you here to congratulate me? You are really fast.”

n

nFu Jiuxiao looked at her expressionlessly.

n

n“You can marry him today, but I will make you a widow tomorrow.”

n

nAs soon as Fu Jiuxiao said that, the faces of the Xu family turned pale.

n

nMother Xu opened her mouth and stammered, “Ninth Master Fu… What do you mean?”

n

nFu Jiuxiao did not speak, but his eyes showed his impatience.

n

nMother Xu and Father Xu immediately shut up.

n

nThis guy was obviously here to stop the marriage.

n

nEveryone knew that Fu Jiuxiao was a ruthless person. He was the living king of Hades in Sea City, and they could not afford to offend him unless it was absolutely necessary.

n

nThe two of them immediately whispered to each other and made up their minds. They raised their heads and forced a smile on their faces.

n

n“Manman, uncle and auntie suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home. Let’s talk about the marriage another day, another day…”

n

nBefore Jiang Li could react, they had already fled with Xu Sijian, forgetting to say goodbye.

n

n“Ah… You’re… leaving just like that?”

n

nFather Jiang and Mother Jiang were dumbstruck, feeling conflicted.

n

nTheir Manman did not have to be forced to marry for the time being. It was a good thing.

n

nHowever, she would not be able to get the 100 million yuan betrothal gift. It was a disaster!

n

nThe two of them looked like they were about to cry again. However, with Fu Jiuxiao around, they did not dare to act out. They got up and pretended to smile.

n

n“Ninth Master, please take a seat. We will make you a cup of tea…”

n

nAfter saying that, they went to the kitchen, and soon, only the two of them were left in the living room.

n

nJiang Li was very confused. She was clearly Jiang Man’s appearance now, so why did Fu Jiuxiao stop her marriage?

n

nCould it be… that he actually liked Jiang Man?

n

nJiang Li was somewhat displeased.

n

nHowever, she, Jiang Man, was not Jiang Li, so she had to continue acting.

n

nShe pretended to cry.

n

n“Brother-in-law, you are too much. You didn’t let me marry Yunze, and now you don’t even let me marry Young Master Xu marry. What are you thinking? !”

n

nJiang Li snorted and got up to leave. “Sister is still upstairs. I’ll go get her.”

n

nHowever, before she took two steps, her wrist was pulled by Fu Jiuxiao. She lost her balance and sat on his lap.

n

nFu Jiuxiao’s slender fingers rested on her beautiful chin. It was rare for him to look so relaxed with a hint of mockery.

n

n“Calling me brother-in-law… What kind of new interest is this?”

n

nJiang Li stopped crying.

n

nWhile she was still in a daze, Fu Jiuxiao suddenly reached out and pulled off her headband. Then, he used his thumb to wipe off her overly pink lipstick.

n

n“You are you. Why are you pretending to be someone else? This braid, this dress doesn’t suit you at all. It’s too ugly.”

n

nJiang Li was stunned. Suddenly, she remembered her previous life.

n

nShe often pretended to be Jiang Man just to please her parents.

n

nShe was quite good at it. No one had ever recognized her, but… Fu Jiuxiao could tell at a glance.
