An Unwilling Engagement

Kang Xue’s vision blurred. In a daze, she seemed to hear footsteps. Then, Kang He’s hand on her neck loosened, and she could finally breathe in fresh air.

“Cough cough!” Kang Xue knelt on the ground and coughed uncontrollably.

The nanny and the Butler held Kang He up and wanted to drag her into the room.

Mr. Kang, on the other hand, walked over with a dark expression and slapped Kang He.

“Kang He! It’s not the time for you to be messing around!” He snapped, “Kang Xue is your sister! Even if you’re not satisfied with my arrangements, you can’t be so cruel to your sister!”

After being slapped, Kang He looked at her father in disbelief. However, after hearing what he said, she couldn’t help but sneer, “You’re pretending to be a good person now? You act as if you care about Kang Xue a lot, but you’re just afraid that something will happen to her and you won’t be able to answer to the Sun family, right? The person Sun You likes is me, but you’re asking Kang Xue to marry him. What do you mean by this? You’ve abandoned my happiness, and you still have the face to call yourself my father?”

Mr. Kang said angrily, “Kang He, I think you’re getting more and more confused! You two, lock her in the basement and let her reflect on her actions!”

“Wait!” Kang He’s expression instantly changed to a pleading one, “Dad, I beg you, please don’t let Kang Xue marry Sun You, okay? The person Sun You likes is me, and Kang Xue doesn’t like Sun You either. If the two of them get married, you’ll be ruining the happiness of the three of them! And, and Kang Xue had not graduated from university yet! They can’t get married!”

The housekeeper and Butler didn’t know what to do.

But Mr. Kang didn’t pamper Kang He as much as before. Instead, he scolded, “So what if you didn’t graduate? They were engaged and would not get married for the time being! They would have a wedding after snowy graduated! Before they get engaged, you’ll reflect on yourself in the basement. Come out only when you’ve thought it through!”

With that, Mr. Kang asked the housekeeper and Butler to carry Kang He into the basement.

Kang He began to shout again, “Kang Xue! You won’t be happy marrying Sun You! Sun You will never like you! He will never!”

Her voice grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.

Mr. Kang wanted to leave, but he couldn’t bear to see her sitting on the ground with no one to rely on. “Xiaoxue, are you okay? Your sister’s mental state isn’t good, don’t take it to heart.”

Kang Xue was silent for a while before asking, “Dad, can I not marry Sun You? Two people who don’t like each other won’t be happy when they get married.”

Mr. Kang’s face changed. “Don’t talk nonsense. Feelings can be cultivated slowly. It’s been decided. Once the sun family gives us a date, you and Sun You can have your engagement ceremony.”

With that, Mr. Kang left without looking back.

Kang Xue felt the air around her turn cold. She took out her phone and called Jiang Yu, “Jiang Yu, my dad is forcing me to marry Sun You. What should I do? I rejected him, but he didn’t listen to me…!”

Kang Xue cried out.

Jiang Yu was also very surprised when she heard the news.

It had only been four days since he last met Sun You. How could their parents have met in such a short time?

Jiang Yu, who had yet to figure out the whole story, could only advise Kang Xue not to be anxious. “Don’t worry, there must be a way to solve this.”

“Kang He was so angry that she wanted to kill me, but my dad only locked her up in the basement. After my engagement ceremony with Sun You is over, he will release her.” Kang Xue said, sobbing.

“Didn’t Kang He and Sun You express any objections?” Jiang Yu asked.

It would be understandable if Sun You didn’t object. However, if Kang He didn’t object, then this matter would be outrageous.

“They’re all against it, but my dad and Sun You’s parents have already discussed this.” Kang Xue told him everything that had happened. “It’s exactly as you thought. The Sun family wants me to be their daughter-in-law, and my dad wants to get rid of me. From the beginning to the end, only Kang He was against this marriage. Although Sun You was against it, he quickly accepted the arrangement.”

“Of course he’ll accept it. After all, it’s not too different from what he thinks.” Jiang Yu said.

“What do we do now? I don’t want to marry Sun You! I don’t want the rest of my life to end like this!” Kang Xue cried.
