Huai An gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Helian Wei Wei laughed coldly, she exerted her strength, “Still not speaking?”

Huai An bore with the pain and denied: “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Helian Wei Wei, why do you insist on being this vicious? Always misinterpret others so much!”

Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes, still yet to strike.

“Let me do it.” Baili Jia Jue who was standing at the side opened his mouth. His thin lips curved, making it look like a smile. “How can you be so rude to a guest?”

Helian Wei Wei halted her movement and raised her slender and elegant eyebrows at Baili Jia Jue.

“This brother is more reasonable.” Huai An thought he was now safe and started to stand up.

However, he saw the man with a white cloth covering his eyes unhurriedly removed the white gloves from his hands and proceeded immediately to grab his hands. Creak!

This was like adding hail to snow!

It hurt even more than having one’s arm removed!

Huai An appeared dazed due to the pain.

But Baili Jia Jue pressed his acupoints so that he would not faint even when it hurt so badly.

In short, this made a person feel the piercing pain constantly.

He proceeded to hold Huai An’s other arm firmly and with lips curved in self-reproach, spoke distressfully, “Oh dear, I seem to have grabbed the wrong arm. This one is good.”

Creak!

Then he stopped speaking.

Huai An’s body bent down like a bow. His forehead was drenched with cold sweat and he instantly slipped down, “Ah!”

“Was it painful?” Baili Jia Jue lightly chuckled and moved his finger. When his eyes drooped, it almost gave Huai An the illusion of seeing the devil.

Even if his handsome appearance was rendered harmless, Huai An still wanted to flee.

That’s right. His first reaction should be running away from here!

His heart was filled with fear.

However, he could not even move an inch.

The deep and low sound at his ear was as if demanding his life. It carried a thick murderous aura, “Then you still dare come to propose?”

Creak!

Again, that sound rang sharp and clear!

The sound was loud and ruthless, making the people standing around them shiver.

Huai An wept soundlessly. Who said this way was not rude?

“Which one touched the betrothal gift?” Baili Jia Jue picked him up from the ground with a single hand and tauntingly looked at Huai An. The cloth covering his eyes gave an impression of a pure and holy saint.

Huai An trembled uncontrollably, he spoke, “Left, the left hand.”

“Oh?” Baili Jia Jue lifted his foot and was about to step on his left hand.

Huai An promptly retracted his words and curled up on the ground to beg forgiveness, “No, I’ve never handed any betrothal gifts! Everything was Madam Su’s idea!” He was talking while simultaneously moving backwards. His face was streaked with tears and snots. Where was the distinguished and elegant appearance just then?

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her elegant eyebrows with a disgusted expression. She reached out and grabbed his collar, “You’d better spill everything, if not…”

“I’ll speak, I’ll speak!” Huai An was terrified that Baili Jia Jue would lay hands on him again. The tears blurred his eyes, he spoke, “Madam Su found me. At first, I was not willing, but Madam Su said that as long as I take you as a bride, I will get half of Profound Heaven’s property. Then…then, I was tempted.”

Hearing this, everyone knew what was going on and looked at Huai An with shock in their eyes.

“Half property of Profound Heaven? On what basis do you deserve it?” Helian Wei Wei sneered, “How did that purse come about?”

Huai An glanced at Helian Mei.

Helian Mei felt anxious, she wanted to come over. Unfortunately, the shadow was in front of her, blocking her path. She could only hold on her two arms and shrieked loudly like a shrew, “Helian Wei Wei!”

Helian Wei Wei remained unmoved. With a cold arrogance, she grabbed Huai An’s arm tightly, “Speak!”

“I, I with Mei Er have pledged to marry secretly. No matter what, Madam Su would not give her consent. Then, Mei Er gave me her purse so that I can wait for her.”

As soon as Huai An’s words came out, only one thought passed through Helian Mei’s mind, and that was that she was finished!

“That is to say, Su Yan Mo clearly knows that you two are in love, but let you come to propose a marriage to me, to grab Profound Heaven’s property? How shameless!”

Helian Wei Wei lifted her foot and kicked Huai An. While talking, her eyes observed the surrounding students. Finally, her gaze landed on Helian Jiao Er who was itching to leave the place. “What? Second Sister, now that the trick was exposed, do you want to leave? Have you forgotten the granny that you, mother and daughter pair, have already paid?”

Helian Jiao Er’s body grew stiff. A deathly pallor showed inadvertently on her face. The humiliation was felt deep to the bone.

Helian Wei Wei smirked, her voice indifferent, “Didn’t Madam Su like to receive betrothal gifts? Since the gifts from Master Huai An’s family were already received, she should give a daughter to them. I think Third Sister is suitable.”

“Helian Wei Wei, you!” After Mother had called her, she had no more intention to marry with Huai An. Being this man’s wife was like being pushed into the fire pit. “You are not the one who make decisions about my marriage!”

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes showed a cold glint, “Why is Third Sister unhappy? Is there something wrong with Huai An? Madam Su was so kind as to push away a man her daughter didn’t want and say it was for my own good?

Helian Jiao Er looked at the people pointing at them and pulled her back, “Shut up! Do you want to make Mother’s reputation to be in tatters?”

“But… But I can’t marry Huai An, Second Sister. The matter between Huai An and I was already in the past, too long ago.” Helian Mei grasped Helian Jiao Er’s hands urgently. “What’s more Mother also once said not to marry into their family. This slut clearly pressuring me to agree, to make me marry over!”

Helian Jiao Er also regretted intensely but could do nothing about it.

“Second Sister!” Helian Mei could not believe it. “This is my lifetime event!”

“Otherwise, what are you going to do? If you discredit Mother’s reputation, you will be thrown out of the academy. Think, you had a tryst with a man, the academy does not allow it, what’s more, you are not yet married! Who else can you marry? Helian Jiao Er shook off her hand. “Will Father keep a daughter who has a bad reputation?”

Helian Mei froze. Her face vacant, as if losing all hope, she stared blankly until she fell into her servant girl’s arms.

Helian Jiao Er did not want to go this far, even as she spoke with Helian Mei, the image of the goddess, which she had painstakingly maintained, was already greatly diminished.

When Madam Su received this news, her whole body shook with anger.

As a matter of fact, how can there be the betrothal gifts!

It was merely the stratagem she came up with to push Helian Wei Wei into the pit of fire.

In the end, not only was the ploy unsuccessful, but she also had to give a daughter away.

Helian Mei was indeed the youngest one and had been held in the palm of her hands. Although she was not comparable to Jiao Er, she was also the heart and soul of Madam Su!
