Chapter 1619: Breaking Off the Engagement

She hadn’t lost her abilities, so no matter how complicated the report was, she could understand it.

After flipping through a few pages, she became increasingly alarmed, her palms covered in cold sweat.

Mo Tingshen openly laid in front of them everything he could and couldn’t discover.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if one day Mo Tingshen wanted to take down the Qiao family, this document in his possession would be enough to ruin them utterly.

This was clearly a threat.

Mother Qiao looked at Mo Tingshen apprehensively, the other party returned her gaze calmly, “To be honest, I am a businessman, out of habit, I investigated the Qiao family, just to put my mind at ease. The data is all here, I didn’t keep a copy, it’s all for you two. Also, I’ve already taken care of the potential problems outside for the Qiao family. I’m showing you this not as a threat, but as a gesture of goodwill.”

Mother Qiao’s lips trembled slightly, and she couldn’t find the words.

She took the document back and spread it out in front of Father Qiao.

At this, Father Qiao couldn’t even hold the teacup steady, he anxiously put it down, urgently asking, “What do you mean by this? Showing us this before the wedding with Manman and giving us so many things, you make me uneasy, is there some condition?”

“There is.”

Mo Tingshen stated directly, “I request to cancel the wedding.”

“What!”

Mother Qiao immediately exclaimed, quickly quieting herself, nervously glancing up at Qiao Man’s bedroom on the second floor.

“The wedding is tomorrow, after that you and Manman will get the marriage certificate, the date was chosen long ago, tonight you pull this stunt and say you want to call it off, Manman has been looking forward to marrying you for so long, during those three years she was in a coma, you took care of her all along, there are feelings between you two, and… and after she woke up, she longed to see you, don’t you know how much she loves you?”

Mo Tingshen said, “I’m very sorry, my abrupt decision has offended everyone, but this marriage, I won’t proceed with it. I will preserve the Qiao family’s dignity, you can name your conditions.”

Mother Qiao’s face darkened, she wanted to say something but was restrained by Father Qiao.

“Tingshen, don’t joke with us, although I have financial issues, we are not relying on selling our daughter for prosperity. Over these days, Uncle has never asked anything of you, not a word mentioned. Has someone possibly said something to you? Such divisive tactics are despicable, you must see through them.”

Mo Tingshen remained unmoved, “The bride price given previously, I won’t ask for it back, also, I have a project in collaboration with Bo’s, it’s endorsed by the authorities, I’ll give it to you. I’ll speak to Bo Yanching, if he agrees, I will pay him market rate for his involvement, and gift it all to the Qiao’s.”

How could Father Qiao not be tempted?

Such a project is not something someone of his level could acquire.

Mo Tingshen offered it just like that, and even offered to buy shares from Third Master Bo, for anyone else, it’s simply impossible to even come close.

If Qiao’s really could take it on, they wouldn’t just be rising to the clouds, surpassing both Mo and Bo’s families is possible.

Yet, to let Mo Tingshen go, he still wasn’t willing, clinging to the possibility, attempting to negotiate: “Is there no way to change your mind? We’ll refuse all the offers, just marry Manman?”

Father Qiao’s tone had softened considerably, clearly tempted, yet still greedy, wanting to have it both ways.

Mo Tingshen glanced at his watch, no longer interested in playing games here.

“I’ve spoken my piece, consider it, I’ll release the news overnight, breaking off the engagement, I’ll take all the blame. As for Manman, any needs she has in the future, I’ll agree to help her once.”
