Chapter 14 - Shameless Protagonist

Xiao Han's eyes scanned Su Qingyue back and forth, filled with greed. He never thought his fiancée would be so beautiful! She was many times more attractive than the village girls he had met in the mountains. Originally, he believed that all women looked similar and thought only the girl he met at the bar yesterday was beautiful. Now, he realized he was completely wrong; those women outside were not half as beautiful as Su Qingyue! Moreover, Su Qingyue's figure was superb, making him salivate.

"Grandpa, are there any guests at home?" Su Qingyue naturally noticed Xiao Han's undisguised gaze. She frowned and looked at Su Wenzheng. Although she was annoyed, she refrained from expressing her anger directly; it was embarrassing, after all. She still had some decorum!

"Yes, he is your fiancé," Su Wenzheng replied calmly. Xiao Han wanted to call off the engagement, and now that Qingyue had returned, he could handle it today.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Han." Hearing Su Wenzheng's words, Xiao Han immediately stood up from the sofa and hurried over to Su Qingyue, putting on an extremely simple and honest appearance.

Su Qingyue took two steps back in shock, dumbfounded. Fiancé? This shabby man is her fiancé? Even if she were blind, she couldn't overlook this! Su Qingyue was not someone who judged others solely by appearance, but with Xiao Han's rustic attire and the earlier gaze, she had already labeled him a hooligan in her mind.

She felt a surge of anger and wanted to question her grandfather. Are you so out of touch that you want me to marry someone like this? But Su Wenzheng's next sentence calmed her anger considerably.

"He came here today to divorce you, and we've been waiting for you," Su Wenzheng said with a straight face. The kind expression he usually wore had long since disappeared. Although not many people knew about this situation, Xiao Han's behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Su family! He had given Xiao Han face by not getting angry on the spot. If it weren't for Deng Zhenren's reputation, he would have been severely reprimanded.

"I agree; let's just call off the engagement," Su Qingyue said, planning to go directly upstairs to her bedroom. Although she didn't know when her grandfather had arranged such a marriage, she would have time to ask about it later. Now was obviously not the time. Ever since Jiang Che had confronted her, she had found herself thinking about him more often.

Though Jiang Che could be a bit despicable and shameless, his image was at least ten blocks away from this man! Even if she had to marry Jiang Che, it would be impossible for her to marry this savage who had appeared out of nowhere!

"And wait!"

"I don't agree to the divorce!" Xiao Han, realizing Su Qingyue was about to leave, grew impatient and shouted loudly, stopping her. If he had known his fiancée was such a beautiful woman, he would never have considered calling off the marriage!

Xiao Han felt an overwhelming sense of regret. He had been foolish to think about voluntarily withdrawing from the engagement.

"Why did you change your mind again?" Su Wenzheng looked at Xiao Han mockingly, his eyes full of disdain. He was not surprised by Xiao Han's sudden change of heart. After all, he knew well that his granddaughter's charm drew admirers like moths to a flame.

"Ha ha…" Xiao Han laughed awkwardly. "What I just said was nonsense. After all, marriage is not child's play. I think Miss Su and I are a good match..."

Xiao Han's face flushed slightly, but he still didn't back down. His skin was as thick as a city wall; he didn't care about Su Wenzheng's opinion at all.

"I disagree; you'd better leave now," Su Qingyue said, turning to cast a cold glare at Xiao Han before directly threatening him. She could tell that since this guy had the nerve to come dressed in rags, he must be utterly shameless.

"You heard it too; my granddaughter disagrees." Su Wenzheng intervened. "So let's leave this matter alone and go."

"It was just a drunken remark back then," he added. Although he recognized that Xiao Han was capable, he still didn't like him. The young man lacked etiquette, had an arrogant attitude, and knew nothing of decorum. If this kind of person became his grandson-in-law, he would probably die of embarrassment on the spot.

There was only one daughter in the Su family, Su Qingyue, and all of the family's assets would eventually be passed on to her. How could they consider someone like Xiao Han as a suitor?

Moreover, Su Wenzheng was shocked that Xiao Han's master had kept the marriage certificate for so many years. It seemed the other party had been planning something all along!

Thinking of this, Su Wenzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing across them.

"But…"

"If you really want to divorce, you need to get my master's consent, right?" Xiao Han spoke casually, his mind racing. Now that things had progressed this far, he knew he had to bring up his master. Even if Su Wenzheng didn't care about him, he still had to consider his master's reputation.
