Loved By An Older Man

1075 Helpless

The date of the engagement was getting closer and closer, and the results of the international jewelry design competition were out.

Jiang Yu lived up to everyone’s expectations and successfully advanced to the next round. Next, she would be going to the capital to participate in the preliminary round.

And this time, there was a new theme, which was The Princess and the Warrior.

While Jiang Yu was busy with the competition, she also had to pay attention to Kang Xue and Sun You’s situation. Her body couldn’t take it and she had a high fever.

Sister Xia was so frightened that her heart skipped a few beats. She quickly sent Jiang Yu to the hospital and contacted Mo Long.

Mo Long couldn’t care less about the documents in his hands. After giving them all to Teng Yi, he drove to the hospital.

Although Jiang Yu had a high fever, sister Xia sent her over in time, so her fever went down after an IV drip.

When Mo Long rushed to the hospital, Jiang Yu was on an IV drip.

When she saw Mo Long enter, sister Xia quickly complained to him, “President Mo, you’re finally here. Quickly help me talk to Jiang Yu. She has to be busy with the competition and also pay attention to Kang Xue’s matters. How can her body take it? I told her to rest, but she didn’t listen.”

“What’s the matter with Kang Xue?” Mo Long asked with a frown.

Jiang Yu originally did not intend to tell him about this. Other than adding to his helpless worries, it would be of no use at all. However, since sister Xia had already revealed it, she couldn’t hide it anymore. Therefore, Jiang Yu had no choice but to tell Mo Long the whole story.

When Mo Long heard this, his brows furrowed even more. “Kangxue and Sun You’s engagement is their family matter. Even if you’re worried, you can’t interfere in other people’s family matters. Business marriages were common, and many people who got married because of this did not like their other half. However, for the sake of their family business, they had no other choice. If Kang Xue could understand this, she would accept this marriage. But even if she doesn’t understand, this is someone else’s family matter and we have no right to interfere.”

Jiang Yu was silent for a long time before she said, “That Kang Xue is really pitiful.”

“She’s not favored at home and is destined to become a tool for business marriage.” Mo Long consoled.

“Yes. Yes,” Jiang Yu replied softly, feeling an indescribable sourness in her heart.

Of course, she understood Mo Long’s intentions. Back when she hadn’t met him, Wei Juan had wanted to marry her off to an old man over 50 years old. Although it was not a business marriage, he wanted to ” sell ” her for two million Yuan.

Therefore, Jiang Yu felt that it was not worth it for Kang Xue, but she also felt lucky to have met Mo Long.

“I’ll go see her during the engagement ceremony.” Mo Long said.

“Yes.” Jiang Yu nodded gently.

The date of the engagement was soon announced on the internet. it was going to be in a week.

There were many people who went to the banquet, but they were all from the Sun family and Mr. Kang’s side. Other than Jiang Yu and the other two, no one came to congratulate Kang Xue.

Even when the news spread around the school, no one attended the engagement ceremony. The lackeys that were following behind Kang Xue were even gloating. “pfft, I knew that Kang Xue wouldn’t have a good ending. Look at how arrogant she was back then. Now, she’s getting her retribution, right? She deserves it!”

Kang Xue didn’t know how these people insulted her behind her back, but it didn’t matter to her anymore.

She was dressed in a simple and elegant gown, standing beside Mr. Kang like a puppet.

Mr. Kang was currently chatting with the other guests. The male lead, Sun You, was also greeting the guests with a smile. He then held Kang Xue’s hand and introduced her to the guests as if he was introducing a treasure, “This is my fiancée, Kang Xue.”

Most of the guests only had an impression of Kang He, because every time father Kang attended a banquet, it was always Kang He who followed him. As for Kang Xue, if it wasn’t for the news of her engagement, they wouldn’t have known about her existence.

However, they still had to put in enough effort on the surface. The guests smiled and said, “the young master of the Sun family is really young and promising. Not only has he made great achievements in business, but he has also married such a beautiful wife. Congratulations!”

“It’s only an engagement ceremony today, not a wedding,” Sun You said with a smile.

“What are you saying? we’re already engaged. How far away can the wedding be?”

Kang Xue only listened to the noise from the side. Her heart was like a pool of dead water, without any waves.

It wasn’t until Mr. Kang came over and asked her and Sun You to take a photo at the side that Kang Xue finally returned to normal. There was a slight change in expression on her face.
