Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor Chapter 43

Just when everyone was caught up in their discussions, a tall and straight figure suddenly walked up the wors.h.i.+p stage and straight towards Ye Qingtang’s side.

Everyone fixed their eyes on the youth who stood beside Ye Qingtang. Wasn’t that the talented and elegant Third Young Master Si Bai from the Si family?

“Tang Tang, why waste time here now that the wors.h.i.+p ceremony has ended? Grandfather ordered me to bring you back today to play chess with him,” Si Bai said with a smile as he looked at Ye Qingtang affectionately.

“Alright.” Without paying attention to everyone’s gaze, Ye Qingtang nodded with a smile and walked down the wors.h.i.+p stage with Si Bai.

“What is going on? Third Young Master Si is actually on friendly terms with Lady Ye?”

“Didn’t you hear what Third Young Master Si addressed Lady Ye as just now? Tang Tang… Seems like their relations.h.i.+p is not ordinary.”

“Hasn’t the Si and Ye family always been on bad terms? Why would the Si family’s family master invite Ye Qingtang to go to the Si residence?”

A string of questions rose up in everyone’s minds as Ye Qingtang and Si Bai walked down the stage together. The sight of the beautiful Ye Qingtang and the handsome Si Bai walking together was like a painting that pleased one’s eyes.

Everyone knew that Si Bai had an indifferent personality and rarely interacted with anyone out of the Si family, yet he publicly invited Ye Qingtang to his residence today. Furthermore, Si Bai and Ye Qingtang seemed to share a close relations.h.i.+p. Could it be…

Instinctively, everyone turned to look at a stiff-looking Duan Tianrao below the stage.

Previously, they thought that Duan Tianrao initiated the breaking of his engagement to Ye Qingtang because he disliked Ye Qingtang. However, now it seemed that things were not that way.

Duan Tianrao was outstanding, but when compared to Si Bai, he was no compet.i.tion at all.

“Could it be that… the annulment of the engagement wasn’t initiated by Duan Tianrao? Could it be because of Ye Qingtang and Si Bai’s close relations.h.i.+p that she broke off the engagement?”

“Yeah, there’s no way!! If you were Duan Tianrao, would you be willing to give up such an extraordinary beauty like Ye Qingtang and marry Ye Xun, the second choice? You must be blind if you choose Ye Xun!”

“Si Bai is way better than Duan Tianrao. I pitied Ye Qingtang just now, but… should I pity Duan Tianrao now?”

A burst of discussion filled the crowd. At this point, no one believed that it was Duan Tianrao who initiated to cancel the engagement.

Duan Tianrao’s face turned to a shade of green and white. The sound of the discussions which traveled to his ears was like endless ridicule.

The humiliation that should have happened to Ye Qingtang all happened to him instead.

“Darling Duan…” Ye Xun anxiously looked at Duan Tianrao’s frozen side profile with worry.

Duan Tianrao took a deep breath and turned around. “Let’s go,” he said without even looking at Ye Xun.

Shock filled her, but she could only hang her head low and leave with Duan Tianrui and Duan Tianrao.

From that day on, Duan Tianrao became the biggest joke in Lin Town.

Before leaving the wors.h.i.+p stage, Ye Qingtang told her father Ye Ling that she was going to the Si residence. Ye Ling was in an extremely good mood, so, of course, he would give in to her. Once he gave Ye Qingtang his permission, he went back to the Ye residence in high spirits.

Let’s see who would still dare to say that his daughter was ugly from then on?!

Ye Qingtang, Si Bai, and Si Ye returned to the Si residence together immediately.

At the Si residence’s hall.

“Are master’s words true?” Ye Qingtang, who was called to the Si residence, asked with widened eyes. Unable to hide her smile, her lips tugged up.

Master Si nodded slightly and replied delightedly, “I called you here today to let you know that Lord Mu Su has agreed to meet you. He should be in Lin Town in a few days.”
