I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere became subtly awkward.

Qin Xuecheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, seemingly unsure how to start the conversation.

He secretly sized up the young man in front of him, his heart filled with disappointment.

He never imagined that the marriage his father had casually arranged for him when they were children would turn out to be such a rustic and unsophisticated guy.

Although the Qin family has only risen to prominence in the last ten years or so, they are still a second-tier family in Jiangcheng with assets of over 100 million yuan.

If word gets out about this marriage, where will the Qin family put their face?

"Ruoxue, come upstairs with me for a moment. I have some information to show you about your exchange program abroad."

Qin Xuecheng suddenly spoke up and gave his daughter a wink.

Qin Ruoxue immediately understood, stood up, and followed her father upstairs to the second floor.

In the large living room, only Ye An and Aunt Lin remained.

Aunt Lin's polite smile faded, and she picked up her coffee, taking an elegant sip.

She then took a bank card from her bag, gently placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Ye An.

"Ye An, right? Let's not beat around the bush." ​​Aunt Lin leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed.

"I know you just came from the mountains and are all alone in Jiangcheng."

"Consider this card a gift from our Qin family to you as our first meeting gift."

"Furthermore, I can arrange for you to attend Jiangcheng University, where Ruoxue studies, and be in the same class as her."

"We'll cover all tuition and living expenses."

Ye An looked at the bank card but didn't touch it.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin curled her lips into a mocking smile.

"Don't get me wrong."

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone carrying a condescending air of condescension.

"We're doing this on conditions. The condition is that the marriage agreement you made with your master is null and void from today onwards."

"My Ruoxue, as you can see, is outstanding in appearance and academics."

"Her future path has been planned out; the family she is to marry will inevitably be one of the most prestigious and powerful families in Jiangcheng."

"You and her... are not from the same world."

"Take this money and find a stable job. This is the best way out for you."

"The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness; one should not covet what does not belong to them."

The contempt and disdain in their words were no longer concealed.

Upon hearing this, Ye An was not angry at all; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

His purpose in coming down the mountain this time was to end this worldly entanglement and to voluntarily annul the engagement.

It looks like I'm going to be rejected.

Whether you withdraw or are withdrawn, the result is the same, which saves a lot of trouble.

However, the Qin family's attitude was far too arrogant, which made Ye An very unhappy.

He looked up at Aunt Lin and asked calmly:

"Where is Old Master Qin? This marriage agreement was made between him and my master back then."

"Is what you're saying also what he meant?"

Aunt Lin snorted as if she had heard a joke:

"The old man is unwell and won't see anyone now. Besides, how could we take his casual joke seriously? As parents, would we harm our own daughter?"

"To put it bluntly, you're not good enough for our Ruoxue. Take this 200,000 yuan and live a quiet, peaceful life. It's better for you and for us."

"Heh...two hundred thousand?"

Ye An laughed. He wasn't really angry at first, but when Aunt Lin mentioned 200,000, he got genuinely angry.

You went through all that trouble to come all this way, just for a mere 200,000?

If I agree today, I'll be laughed to death by all the cultivators in the world.

The sole heir of the reclusive immortal sect Yunxu Mountain, an eighteen-year-old half-step Xiantian realm cultivator, is only worth two hundred thousand?

Ye An had his own pride; his innate qualities could not be humiliated!

Even for those at the half-step innate level, it's the same!

He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table, looking at Aunt Lin's arrogant face.

"Actually... I came here today to annul the engagement."

Aunt Lin was taken aback.

Ye An continued slowly:

"However... given your attitude, I'm not planning on annulling the engagement."

Aunt Lin's face instantly darkened, as if she had heard the funniest joke, and she shrieked:

"Not going to refund it? Ye An, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"

Do you think that by refusing to leave, you can climb the social ladder and marry into the Qin family?

Let me tell you, a toad trying to eat swan meat? No way!

Ye An slowly stood up, not even glancing at the bank card with 200,000 yuan on the table, and simply patted off non-existent dust from his clothes.

"High branch? Your Qin family is not even considered a high branch in my eyes."

Ye An's smile vanished abruptly, and he said coldly:

"Go back and tell the person in charge that the initiative regarding this marriage is now in my hands."

"Want to call off the engagement? Or have Old Master Qin come to me in person."

"Or, let Qin Ruoxue come and beg me herself!"

Aunt Lin was so angry that she was trembling all over. Her well-maintained face was full of anger, and her finger pointing at Ye An was shaking.

"You...you dare threaten the Qin family?!"

She had never seen such an arrogant and ignorant boy before!

"presumptuous!"

A low shout came from the second floor.

Qin Xuecheng and Qin Ruoxue walked down quickly.

Qin Xuecheng's face was ashen; he had heard everything clearly from upstairs.

Qin Ruoxue looked at Ye An as if she were looking at a pile of disgusting garbage.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been surrounded by adulation and flattery. When has she ever been treated so casually as a "condition" to be discussed?

Especially since this person was a poor, penniless boy whom she looked down upon from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Xuecheng walked up to Ye An, forcibly suppressing his anger and putting on the air of a reasonable elder.

"It's good for young people to be proud, but excessive pride is foolish. This is the 21st century; arranged marriages are no longer acceptable."

"Aunt Lin's words just now may have been a bit blunt, but they were for your own good. Taking the money and leaving Jiangcheng will be a dignified ending for both you and us."

Ye An seemed not to have heard the warning in his words, and just chuckled.

He pulled out a chair, sat back down, crossed his legs, and leisurely watched the three members of the Qin family.

"Decent? You seem to have misunderstood something."

"Now, it's not a question of whether you have any dignity, but whether I should give you any dignity."

"I've already stated my conditions: if you want to annul the engagement, that's fine."

He held up two fingers.

"First, let Old Master Qin, who has the final say, talk to me personally."

"Second, have this Miss Qin come to beg me in person."

"Otherwise, I really won't call off this engagement. I'd like to see how she manages to marry into the so-called top wealthy family in Jiangcheng while she's still holding the title of my fiancée."

"You're shameless!"

Qin Ruoxue finally couldn't hold back any longer, her pretty face flushed red, and she blurted out.

This was the first time in her life that she had lost her composure.

Ye An glanced at her and shook his head:

"Can't even handle this? Looks like the Qin family's upbringing isn't all that great."

"Enough!" Qin Xuecheng completely dropped his pretense, his face so dark it could drip water.

"So it seems you're determined to cling to the Qin family?"

"Good, very good!"

He was so angry that he laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"I, Qin Xuecheng, have spent half my life in Jiangcheng, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a reckless young man like you!"

"You want to see the old man? Okay!"

Qin Xuecheng suddenly changed the subject, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Tomorrow night at six o'clock, at the Jinhao Hotel, there will be a birthday banquet hosted by my Qin family for the old man. At that time, all the prominent families, celebrities and wealthy businessmen in Jiangcheng will be in attendance."

"I formally invite you to attend this banquet as Ruoxue's 'fiancé'."

"Do you dare to come?"
