Chapitre 6: Injustice

Éditeur: Dragon Boat Translation

Qiao Yushan sat on the sofa, holding a tablet in her hands, engrossed in her official duties. When she saw Su Han standing at the doorway, she was immediately taken aback.

This jerk... Did he really come to break off the engagement?

The thought crossed Qiao Yushan's mind, and her expression turned sour. She clenched her teeth lightly, a hint of anger in her eyes, and stood up immediately.

"What are you here for?" She stared at Su Han, her tone cold.

Su Han shrugged his shoulders and looked a little helpless. He didn't expect to run into her as soon as he arrived.

He smiled and said, "I told you at the hospital before, I came to..."

"What exactly do you want!" Hearing Su Han's words, Qiao Yushan felt as if she had been ignited. This bastard was really here to break off the engagement!

Was she not good enough for him?

He actually dared to say that she wasn't good enough for him?

He, a university student who had not graduated, a person who had accomplished nothing, a despicable person who only knew how to deceive little girls, dared to say that she wasn't good enough for him? And he even dared to break off the engagement!

Qiao Yushan was truly furious, even feeling a sense of inexplicable... injustice.

A person like Su Han actually dared to say that he didn't like her? Was she really that inferior? All of a sudden, a hint of ridicule flashed through her mind, as if she had heard a huge joke.

Su Han remained calm, looking at Qiao Yushan earnestly. He knew that this woman in front of him was highly esteemed and renowned in Tianhai City, with countless suitors who were willing to pay a huge price to get close to her.

But he wasn't one of those people. He was Su Han, who only followed his own heart. If he didn't like her, then he didn't like her. They hadn't spent time together for years and did not have any feelings for each other, so why talk about marriage?

"I didn't come with any specific intentions. I just thought it would be better for both of us this way. You won't be in a difficult position, and I won't have to..."

Before Su Han could finish speaking, Qiao Yushan had already stomped over to him. She was wearing a pair of white slippers with a cute panda pattern making her look adorable, but at this moment, she seemed angry.

"Su Han, listen carefully," Qiao Yushan's tone was cold as she looked at Su Han, appearing very dissatisfied. She emphasized each word, "If anyone should break off the engagement, it should be me. I'm the one who isn't satisfied with you! I'm the one who doesn't like you!"

Qiao Yushan's voice grew louder, tinged with a sense of discontent.

"Yushan!"

Before Su Han could speak, a stern voice came from behind. Su Han turned his head and saw an elderly man with graying hair. He had a furious expression on his face and was holding a cane as he slowly walked in.

Su Han nodded and called out, "Grandpa Qiao."

Qiao Jianrong looked at Su Han, his expression slightly eased, and nodded. But when he looked at Qiao Yushan, his expression immediately turned cold. "Hmph, have my words become ineffective? Now that you're grown up, is there no longer a need to listen to your grandfather?"

He stared at Qiao Yushan. He had never been so angry before, leaving Qiao Yushan stunned.

From childhood to now, when has Grandpa ever been angry with her? When has he spoken to her with such seriousness and anger? Is it all because of Su Han, who just returned to Tianhai? Just because of this worthless Su Han?

Qiao Yushan stood there blankly, her eyes slightly red, feeling a sense of inexplicable injustice welling up in her heart. Why? Why is this happening?

"I am the one who arranged this engagement. If you still acknowledge me as your grandfather, don't be rude to Su Han!" Qiao Jianrong reprimanded in a cold voice. "You want to call off the engagement? Wait until I'm dead!"

Qiao Yushan trembled all over and almost lost her balance. Grandpa actually... said such harsh words to her.

Is this Su Han in front of her more important than his own granddaughter?

"Grandpa…" Qiao Yushan felt wronged. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She wanted to plead, she wanted Grandpa to take back his words.

"Don't call me Grandpa! Do you still see me as your grandfather?" Qiao Jianrong's voice grew louder.

Qiao Yushan bit her lip, tears already swirling in her eyes. She glanced at Su Han, who stood there with an innocent look, and her anger and resentment towards him grew even stronger. She turned around, unable to bear it any longer, and ran upstairs, crying.

For the sake of this outsider, Grandpa actually scolded her like this. Why did it have to turn out this way?

"Grandpa Qiao, there's no need for this." Seeing Qiao Yushan looking so wronged as she went upstairs, Su Han shook his head with a hint of helplessness. He couldn't understand why things had escalated to this point.

Qiao Jianrong watched as Qiao Yushan cried and returned to her room. He let out a deep sigh and turned to Su Han. He said apologetically, "Su Han, Yushan is still young and doesn't understand your worth. Please don't mind."

Others may not know, but how could he not know? Su Han's excellence was not something an ordinary person could comprehend. Back then, the divine old Taoist priest saved his entire Qiao family's lives. He had arranged this engagement as a way to repay the old Taoist priest's kindness. And since Su Han was the disciple most trusted by the old Taoist priest, how could Qiao Jianrong have any doubts in him?

Su Han wanted to talk about the engagement, but seeing Qiao Jianrong's expression, he decided not to bring it up for now, to avoid making the old man unhappy.

"We haven't seen each other in many years, and we're still unfamiliar with each other. Suddenly having this engagement, it's understandable that she's unhappy," Su Han said.

Qiao Jianrong paused for a moment and said, "There's still a long time ahead. I believe Yushan will come to a clear understanding. You just arrived in Tianhai and haven't settled down yet, have you?"

Seeing Su Han nod, Qiao Jianrong directly said, "Just stay at the Qiao family's residence. I'll have Aunt Wu prepare a room for you."

Su Han smiled and was about to refuse, but Qiao Jianrong had already spoken. "You don't need to refuse. Listen to me."

Qiao Jianrong called Aunt Wu over and asked her to take Su Han to his room. Su Han could only keep quiet and not say anything more.

"This way please, young master." Aunt Wu, who was in her fifties and had a very kind appearance, smiled and said.

"Thank you, Aunt Wu. Just call me Xiao Su." If Qiao Yushan heard the term "young master," she would definitely get even angrier.

Su Han felt a little helpless.

Aunt Wu led Su Han into the room and told him to instruct her if he needed anything before busying herself with other tasks.

Once Su Han entered the room, he realized that it wasn't just a guest room of the Qiao residence. Instead, it seemed to be the master bedroom. It seemed that Old Master Qiao was very determined. If he were to mention canceling the engagement, it would probably displease him.

"Master, you've really given your disciple a difficult problem." Su Han bitterly smiled. The marriage agreement arranged by his master, the old Taoist priest, truly put Su Han in a difficult situation.

Since he was already here, he would take it as it was. He didn't want to overthink it and planned to clarify things with Old Master Qiao when the time was right.

After organizing his belongings, Su Han took a shower, washing away all the fatigue from his body. He crossed his legs and sat on the bed, ready to practice his cultivation.

Ever since he started following the old Taoist priest, daily practice had been his mandatory routine. He had already reached a high level of proficiency in the "Heavenly Scripture."

Su Han didn't know where this "Heavenly Scripture" came from. The old Taoist priest only told him that this scripture was fated with him. The "Heavenly Scripture" was divided into three volumes.

The first volume, "Volume of Earth," focused on medical skills, and Su Han learned his Profound Qi Finger from it. The second volume, "Volume of Humanity," focused on ancient martial arts. Su Han's current strength had already surpassed that of his master, the old Taoist priest. To what extent he had become formidable, even Su Han himself didn't know.

Because there had never been anyone who could make Su Han unleash his full power!
