Chapter 15: Losing Su Chen's Love, Everything Has Changed

"Hmm?"

Seeing Xiao Huan's hesitant expression, Xia Qingxue frowned in confusion.

"This servant wants to say, the Young Master of the Su Family, he, he, he, he..."

Xiao Huan stammered for a long time, unable to finish her sentence, her face turning bright red as if she were a red apple.

"Su Chen, what about him?"

Seeing her stuttering incessantly, Xia Qingxue could not help but ask urgently.

Although she had no feelings for Su Chen, at this moment, she felt somewhat nervous, worried that Su Chen might not look favorably upon her.

"Master, he said the Young Master of the Su Family is here to annul the engagement."

Seeing that her young mistress did not realize the severity of the situation, Xiao Huan simply closed her eyes and said it directly.

"What did you say? Annul the engagement?"

Xia Qingxue was stunned, then her expression changed, and she stared at Xiao Huan in horror.

She had thought Su Chen was joking yesterday; after all, Su Chen did not seem like someone who would do something foolish.

But she had not expected that the Young Master of the Su Family was truly here to annul the engagement.

Her head buzzed and went blank, and a fire rose in her heart, burning and stinging with pain.

Su Chen actually wanted to annul the engagement; was this an insult to her feelings?

She, the dignified daughter of the Xia Family, the number one beauty of the Donghua Continent, and a peerless genius, when had she ever fallen to the point of being dumped?

Xia Qingxue's heart was filled with anger and sorrow; she wished she could rush out of the room immediately to confront Su Chen.

"Hmph, Su Chen, you just wait!"

Thinking of Su Chen, her heart was filled with intense hatred.

All of this was that woman's fault.

If it weren't for that vixen, the Young Master of the Su Family would not have annulled the engagement.

It must be that the vixen used some seductive tricks to make Su Chen act this way.

Xia Qingxue bit her silver teeth, hatred brewing in the depths of her eyes.

She stood up abruptly, walked to the bedside, picked up the clothes on it, draped them over her shoulders, and walked out the door.

"Xiao Huan, let's go."

"Yes!"

——————

Soon, the mistress and servant, Xia Qingxue and Xiao Huan, arrived at the Xia Family's flower hall.

As soon as they stepped in, they heard a cold voice.

"This Young Master has come today to abolish the marriage contract with Xia Qingxue, and at the same time, to notify you that from this moment on, the Su Family and the Xia Family will have no further connection."

Su Chen was seen sitting in the main seat, with a beautiful woman standing behind him.

Xia Qingxue's father, Xia Zhentian, knelt at his feet with a pale face and a haggard expression.

Inside the hall, there were large patches of blood; clearly, something terrible had happened earlier.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Xia Qingxue's face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her whole body feeling cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She looked up at Su Chen, trembling, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief: "Su Chen, are you joking with me?"

She tried to force a smile as she looked at Su Chen.

"What do you think?"

Su Chen swept a faint glance at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a cruel and sarcastic smile, "Xia Qingxue, do you think that because you are beautiful, this Young Master will definitely marry you?"

Having said this, he paused, narrowed his eyes, and continued: "Unfortunately, you overestimate yourself. As long as this Young Master beckons, countless women are willing to throw themselves into my arms, so you should just obediently be your Xia Family young lady." Hearing this, Xia Qingxue's body swayed violently, and she almost fainted.

"No, this is impossible. How could you not like me? Su Chen, haven't you always been coveting my body? I can give it to you."

Xia Qingxue questioned him while weeping; her heart was full of unwillingness, unable to believe that Su Chen would abandon her so heartlessly.

Over these past few years, Xia Qingxue had long held Su Chen firmly in the palm of her hand; how could she give up so easily? Wasn't he just coveting her Kui Water Body? Wouldn't it be fine to just give it to Su Chen?

She did not believe that Su Chen would refuse her.

"Enough!"

Seeing this, Xia Zhentian finally could not help but speak up, "Qingxue, if you aren't ashamed, do you still want our Xia Family to lose face along with you?"

Hearing this reprimand, Xia Qingxue's body stiffened abruptly, and her sobbing stopped instantly.

Her eyes were filled with pain and disappointment, and tears gushed out like a broken dam as she stared blankly at Xia Zhentian.

Her father, who had always treated her as the apple of his eye, was actually scolding her.

"Xia Qingxue, behave yourself. Mei'er, let's go."

Su Chen swept a look of disgust at Xia Qingxue, then stood up and left the Xia Family with Su Mei'er.

He had come to notify the Xia Family, not to seek their consent; it was merely to convey the Su Family's attitude toward the Xia Family to the outside world.

From this day forward, his Su Family and the Xia Family would sever all ties; whatever the Xia Family suffered in the future, the Su Family would not intervene.

"Unfilial daughter, you have ruined our Xia Family."

"Slap~"

Seeing that Su Chen had left, Xia Zhentian could finally no longer suppress the anger deep in his heart; he swung his large hand and gave Xia Qingxue a fierce slap, sending her flying dozens of meters away.

The aura of his Great Saint Jing Yichong cultivation base instantly permeated the air.

Originally, because of the marriage contract with the Su Family, under the guidance of Su Family experts, he had broken through from the late Small Saint Realm to Great Saint Jing Yichong, and now he had touched the threshold of the second level of the Great Saint Realm, only one step away from breaking through.

Ever since the older generation of experts in the Xia Family had passed away one after another, the Xia Family had no Great Saint Realm masters to hold the fort, and they had been constantly declining.

But just a moment ago, Su Mei'er had personally shattered his Dao foundation, completely losing the possibility of advancing further.

Pfft! Xia Qingxue spat out a mouthful of blood; her face became even paler, and the aura on her body withered to the extreme.

She struggled to lift her eyes to look at Xia Zhentian, saying unwillingly, "Father, why did you hit me?"

She was Xia Zhentian's most doted-upon daughter, pampered and spoiled from childhood, and she never put anyone in her eyes at all.

She did not understand what she could have done wrong to make her father so resolute.

If not for the burning pain coming from her face, she would have suspected she was dreaming.

"Father of our child, calm your anger; the only hope to save the Xia Family from being wiped out now rests on this girl, Qingxue."

At this moment, Xia Qingxue's mother, Li Wanru, gripped Xia Zhentian's thigh tightly and refused to let go, pleading, "Make Qingxue beg Su Chen at any cost; only Su Chen can salvage this certain-death situation. Otherwise, once the news spreads across the Donghua Continent, everything will be over, and those enemies the Xia Family offended before will tear us to pieces alive."

Hearing this, Xia Zhentian's expression shifted unpredictably, his eyes flickering as if he were contemplating something.

"Qingxue, what are you still standing there blankly for? Hurry and crawl over to apologize to your father."

Li Wanru's face darkened as she roared at Xia Qingxue.

At this moment, Xia Qingxue was like a frost-bitten eggplant, collapsing onto the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face, her heart twisted with agony.

Why, from the moment she lost Su Chen's love, did the whole world seem to have changed?

"Father, your arm..."

Only then did Xia Qingxue notice that her father's left arm had vanished, and she asked with a slightly trembling voice.
