Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Truth Behind the Broken Engagement (3)

"Hmm!"

Knowing her close friend harbored no affection for Du Zhazha, even if he flirted with a hundred girls, she would at most be angry but not heartbroken. Hence, Mo Yan didn’t hide anything and told her all the information she had gathered lately.

"... Not only did he toy with Miss Tian, but he also had a questionable affair with his classmate’s sister. You understand his intentions without me having to say... His conduct in such ugly affairs shows not only his utilitarian nature but also a character of grave issues. Now, he’s just a mere scholar, but if emboldened by his achievements in the future, where would you stand?"

Mo Yan herself found the surname Du revolting.

Initially, she had Maomao observe the man surnamed Du merely to find conclusive evidence, with which to convince Mr. and Mrs. Liu of Du Zhazha’s character, and then they could take the evidence to the Du Family to call off the engagement. She hadn’t expected him not only to be intimate with the girl surnamed Tian, but also to maintain ambiguous relationships with two other girls.

These three girls either had fathers or brothers with some connection to the government or relatives related to the government. Born of low status, Du Zhazha, proud of his scholar identity deep down felt extremely inferior. He tried to use women to climb the social ladder. Was such a man even worthy of being called a man?

Liu Tinglan listened from beginning to end, silent throughout, her calm face betraying nothing.

Seeing this, Mo Yan didn’t advise Liu Tinglan to break things off with Du Zhazha immediately. She had said what needed to be said and believed her friend would make the right choice.

Indeed, Mo Yan’s guess was correct, as the next moment, Liu Tinglan spoke the two words Mo Yan most wanted to hear: "Break engagement!"

Liu Tinglan took a deep breath, her face bearing a relieved smile, "All along, although I haven’t liked him, I had planned to live a respectful and decent life with him. I never expected him capable of such things! Now that I know what kind of person he is, I feel relieved. I don’t have to force myself to live with someone I don’t like for the rest of my life. Yanyan, I know what you are worried about. Rest assured, I’ll convince my parents to cancel this engagement. Otherwise, one day when he makes something of himself, what awaits me will certainly not be honor through marriage."

Liu Tinglan might seem carefree, but when she fell into the hands of the traffickers, she managed to feign an innocent appearance and lower their guard, showing she was a person with transparent thoughts. If, in her previous life, her friend had learned of Du Zhazha’s true nature before getting married, she likely would never have agreed to marry such a person, let alone met with such an ending!

Hearing this, Mo Yan finally felt completely at ease. She held her friend’s hand and smiled, "It’s good that you think this way. Such a scumbag doesn’t deserve your lifelong happiness as a gamble. He should be kicked to the curb early on! If it were me, I would have turned him into a eunuch long ago."

Liu Tinglan chuckled, teasing Mo Yan by pinching her soft cheeks, "You should let that man surnamed Xiao witness this domineering ’female overlord’ demeanor to see if he would still dare to marry you."

Mo Yan swatted away her friend’s teasing hand, speaking assertively, "Even if he does witness it, so what? Does he think to back out? He’d still have to pass the test of my ’Six Beasts’ at home first!"

"Hahahaha, Yanyan, if you dare say this in front of the man surnamed Xiao, I, Liu Tinglan, will truly admire you!" Liu Tinglan burst into laughter, knowing her friend would not actually do it but purposely provoking her to see her embarrass herself.

Not to be outdone, Mo Yan snapped back sharply, "You better worry about yourself first. I heard Brother Shen’s family is already considering girls for him. It seems they might set the engagement as soon as the trial results are out."

This piece of news wasn’t concocted by Mo Yan. In fact, Shen Ji’s parents were indeed looking for a suitable match for him back in his hometown, but Shen Ji, having someone in mind, had already fobbed them off with the excuse of establishing his career before marrying. However, this detail was something Mo Yan would never reveal to her friend.
