BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1186
Chapter 1186: Forced Marriage (51)
“We’re already engaged, why are the two of you still standing here?”
The moment she said that, the entire living room fell silent.
Xu Qingzhi had just stepped into the villa when she heard this.
Shen Fanxing was silent for two seconds before her gaze landed on Jiang Rongrong. Her voice was cold and emotionless.
“Fiancée? Who are you talking about?”
The smile on Jiang Rongrong’s face did not falter. “Of course it’s you and Viscount Leisi.”
Raith stood there, dressed in a British-style suit. He was gentlemanly and elegant, with well-defined features and deep-set eyes. If one were to judge him individually, he was indeed a handsome man, and an elegant one at that.
“Fanxing, I like you a lot. You’re my ideal viscountess.”
Shen Fanxing’s gaze shifted from Jiang Rongrong to Leisi. She suppressed her anger and forced a cold smile.
“Viscount, I might have to disappoint you. I have a fiancé.”
The smile on Leisi’s face froze and he looked at Jiang Rongrong.
“This…”
The smile on Jiang Rongrong’s face faded.
“Viscount Leisi, I’ve already told you before. Since ancient times, our China has been a matchmaker based on the lives of our parents. Us elders have never seen the fiancé my granddaughter mentioned. We don’t know if it’s worth entrusting him to. My granddaughter is young and doesn’t know the rules. She’s just fooling around.”

Only then did the expression on Raith’s face slowly improve.
Then, he looked at Shen Fanxing and said, “Fanxing, it’s a good thing that China has such rules. Otherwise, it would be a pity to miss you.”
“But I want to miss you.”
Shen Fanxing replied without any hesitation.
Jiang Rongrong’s words made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker?
Wasn’t her engagement with Su Heng also an order from her parents?
‘And after that?’
She was the one who had brought Su Heng and Shen Qianrou together behind her back!
She had seen shameless people before.
However, she couldn’t imagine that a person who had one foot in the coffin and lived for almost her entire life would still be so shameless!
And she was her grandmother!
Leisi’s face froze at Shen Fanxing’s words. After some thought, he chose to say patiently,
“I understand the customs of China. If I want to marry you, I have to give your family a betrothal gift. Therefore, I’ll be returning to China in the next two days to handle this matter!”
Shen Fanxing calmed herself down, not wanting to affect her emotions for someone like Jiang Rongrong.
“Since you understand, you should know that I accepted my fiancé’s betrothal gift a long time ago. In Chinese customs, there is no such thing as a woman receiving two betrothal gifts.”
“The betrothal gift is a gift to the Shen family to thank us for raising you! Of course, it’s for our elders! What’s the betrothal gift from before? You’re receiving the betrothal gift yourself. What do you take us for?!”
Jiang Rongrong suddenly spoke in a low voice. The smile on her face disappeared, leaving only coldness and dignity.
Shen Fanxing sneered, “What do I take you for?”
“I’m your grandmother! I’m not someone you can deny!”
“You want to acknowledge me now?”
“It’s not a matter of whether you want to or not. It’s the truth. We didn’t accept the betrothal gift personally, which means that we don’t agree to the marriage! You should return your betrothal gift as soon as possible! I’ve already accepted Viscount Raith’s betrothal gift!”
The living room fell silent again before Shen Fanxing sneered.
“What right do you have to say that? Wasn’t Su Heng and I under the orders of our parents back then? You went behind my back to matchmake him with Shen Qianrou. Is this the so-called order of your parents? Elder? What kind of elder are you?!”
Jiang Rongrong remained seated, her expression unchanged.
“The truth has proven that Su Heng isn’t your man!”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “But I have to thank you for your shamelessness. You’re right, Su Heng isn’t my good man!”
“Hmph.” Jiang Rongrong snorted coldly. Judging from her expression, she had accepted Shen Fanxing’s “thank you” with a clear conscience.
She was obviously saying that it was all her fault that Shen Fanxing wasn’t with Su Heng. Shen Fanxing should be grateful to her.
Looking at her, Shen Fanxing felt that she was a shameless fighter.
After two seconds of silence, Shen Fanxing smiled sarcastically.
“How many betrothal gifts did he give you? To the extent that you threw away your last shred of dignity for those things?”
When Jiang Rongrong heard Shen Fanxing’s words, her face turned cold.
“How dare you! Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
“I’m impudent? Who do you think you are? How dare you say that I’m impudent?” Shen Fanxing was once again provoked by Jiang Rongrong’s shamelessness.
In the face of such a shameless person who had long forgotten about her family and bloodline, there was no need for her to respect her elders!
She had to respect her elders and Jiang Rongrong!
She would do whatever she wanted today.
She couldn’t tolerate the shamelessness of others anymore!
Leisi’s Mandarin was average and his words were emphasized by Country Y. He could understand, but he couldn’t react in time.
All he knew was that Shen Fanxing was arguing with her grandmother.
After Shen Fanxing said that, the old lady pointed at Shen Fanxing angrily. “You…” She couldn’t speak for a long time and her face turned red.
Shen Fanxing glared at her coldly before shifting her gaze to Leisi.
“How many betrothal gifts did you give her?!”
Raith blinked, unable to react!
“Fanxing!”
Xu Qingzhi called out and grabbed Shen Fanxing. As they walked out, she said,
“I’ve broadened my horizons today. Your grandmother is really something.”
“…”
Shen Fanxing’s face darkened. She felt disgusted at the mention of Jiang Rongrong.
Xu Qingzhi pulled her into the courtyard.
The mahogany boxes piled up in the courtyard had their lids lifted!
There were dozens of boxes of money and a box of gold, silver, and jewelry. Under the sunlight, they shone brightly.
“From the looks of it, it’s about two billion yuan! Your grandma is too strong. She’s going to sell you!”
Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but curse!
She had just heard Jiang Rongrong’s words in the room.
She felt that she was being reserved enough!
His shamelessness had reached the peak.
Looking at the items, Shen Fanxing sneered and turned to walk into the house.
