This was something out of her expectations. She had been waiting for this agreement paper for such a long time and had finally obtained it. She naturally felt very happy, but it slowly dwindled away.


Just what are his intentions? Signing this agreement to remove the engagement after saving me. Cheng Lingsu thought that Jiang Xiu wanted to strike back at her. It was as if it wasn't her who wanted to remove the engagement between them and rather seemed as if she was being rejected. She felt an indescribable feeling.


"Susu, what are you holding in your hand?" Ouyang Qian asked curiously.


"I-It's nothing." Cheng Lingsu was startled and quickly received the agreement back. Wouldn't the relation between me and Jiang Xiu be exposed if they saw it?


"Why don't we call him?"


The girls felt thankful for Jiang Xiu saving them.


Cheng Lingsu acted as if she was checking over the school student record and then called Jiang Xiu, "Hello, is this Student Jiang Xiu? Are you alright?!"


"This Deity is naturally fine!"


Hearing Jiang Xiu calling himself as a 'Deity' and knowing that he was fine, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan believed Jiang Xiu was joking with them. Their mood became a lot better, making them giggle.


"This Jiang Xiu is really charming."


However, Cheng Lingsu rolled her eyes. Only she knew that Jiang Xiu was always like this and assumed an aloof style. She didn't know just from where he got the confidence.


"Little Qian and Dandan are also here. We wanted to invite you for a meal to express our thanks."


Jiang Xiu said faintly, "The reason this Deity saved you was because you all looked quite pitiful and not for your gratitude. This Deity will give a bit of food as alms to any beggar on the roadside appearing pitiful to this Deity."


"You…"


Cheng Lingsu was quite angry. She had earnestly and sincerely invited him for a meal but he responded in such a manner. She wanted to say something but he had already ended the call.


Cheng Lingsu's wild nature rose again, "What's so amazing about it?" Do you think you're amazing? You can just fight, that's all. You think too highly of yourself for helping this Lady settle a small trifle.


Ouyang Qian said, "Right, forget it!"


Li Dan also agreed, "We've already issued an invitation to express gratitude, that's enough."


These two women felt quite unwell towards Jiang Xiu's manners. He had compared them to beggars on the roadside. They felt that just enduring it alone was giving enough face to him, Deity Xiu.


Cheng Lingsu said, "In the end, him and us live in two different worlds."


"We won't have anything to do with him in the future."


The two women nodded. They were quite clear about this part.


It appeared as if Cheng Lingsu was saying this for them but also telling it to herself. It wasn't important how the engagement was removed. The important bit was that it was finally removed and she, Cheng Lingsu was free from now on.


She could be together with and marry whoever she wished to.


Not long after Jiang Xiu ended the call, he received another call. The ID displayed on it was: Mother!


"Mother!"


"Little Jiang? Why haven't you returned home from school recently? Do you have enough money? Business is going well recently so you should come back to take some money. You have to take care of your body's nutrition during 12th Grade."


Jiang Xiu felt his heart warm up upon hearing this voice after 3000 years and his eyes unconsciously became moist.


"I have enough!"


Jiang Xiu's throat became sour.


"Mother… Is your and Father's health good?"


The smiling appearance of his parents appeared before Jiang Xiu's eyes, but it only brought back an even more profound memory of that night of the thunderstorm. His father had committed suicide by cutting his throat and his mother had followed after. Those two ice-cold bodies laid on the ground, forever separated from this world.


At that moment, Jiang Xiu had experienced a lacerating pain.


Jiang Family was buried with sadness.


Mama Jiang was dazed for a moment before replying, "We're quite good!" She felt strange that her son was being so sensible, "There's no need for you to worry about the matters of home. You just focus need to on studying. Mama knows that you would feel troubled with studying but everyone is the same. You'll only be able to change your fate if you gain entrance to a good university. Do you understand?"


Can knowledge change fate?


Jiang Xiu felt it was funny. He was Deity Xiu, who laughed proudly in the highest of heavens. He didn't even pay attention to Earth. There was no need to enter a good university to change fate.


This son's incompetence in the previous timeline has let you suffer enough.


In this timeline, this Deity shall bestow you a lifetime of unbounded glory.


I'll make those who look down upon and belittle you both shut their mouths.


"Mother, this… I want to let you become this world's most respected woman."


Mama Jiang was once again dazed, feeling her heart hurt, "Son, you've really grown up. Mother's happy as long as you possess this mindset. But we have to be realistic, you must study properly to enter a good university."


Mama Jiang didn't take it seriously and only thought it was just a child's dream.


"Oh, I got it."


Mama Jiang said, "Right! How are things between you and Susu? Silly brat, you have to become a bit smarter. She's your future wife. See how outstanding she is, you also have to make an effort."


Mama Jiang warned him.


"Feel relieved, this… I'll surely enter a good university. You and Father take care of your health." You still don't know but this Deity has already signed an agreement to remove the engagement between us.


Due to my obstinacy in the previous timeline and having unreasonable demands for this short engagement, it had resulted in a tragedy. Now, the reason for harm has already been rooted out and that tragedy won't repeat again.


Mama Jiang said, "Alright. If you don't feel like returning, Mother will deposit 200 RMB into your account. Visit the bank to withdraw them."


"Okay!"


Others spent 200 RMB in a day, Jiang Xiu spent the same amount in a month.


This was the gap!


Only, Jiang Xiu's parents were already doing their best. After Papa Jiang had met with trouble, his mother had exhausted everything in the family to save him, until the family had become penniless. The reason they were able to endure till today was because they had a house to live in and ran a fruit stall, which were the only things left after saving up.


Therefore, Jiang Xiu never complained about it!


It wasn't easy for his parents.


Only, he learned of one thing after his parents had passed away in the previous timeline. His parents were actually born of prestigious families. It sounded quite absurd and even Jiang Xiu at that time thought it was quite ridiculous. If they were really born of prestigious families, how could they degenerate to the level that they had to run a fruit stall?


But these were the facts. The two of them were born of powerful families in the Imperial Capital. It was obvious that Papa Jiang's side belonged to officialdom from the fact that he held a position in his youth. Jiang Xiu's family possessed riches and honor in the beginning as well. It was just that the families of Papa Jiang and Mama Jiang were arch-enemies. The two of them had married in spite of the opposition from the families and were hence driven away from home.


Therefore, Jiang Xiu had never seen his paternal grandparents or his maternal grandparents in his childhood. His aunts and uncles, his father's seven older sisters, eight of his father's sister-in-law's and so on… He never met any of them.


He only remembered that when he was five years old, his father had gone to jail and his mother had expended all their wealth but still wasn't able to save him. His mother had gone to the Capital on that very night. It was quite a rainy night and his mother's clothes had become wet. She held him and knelt in front of an archaic courtyard.


She knelt for quite long. Jiang Xiu had asked her - Why are you kneeling? She replied - To save your father.


Jiang Xiu was still young then and didn't know whether it was his paternal grandfather's house or his maternal grandfather's house. He remembered that there was a tree in front of the door, it was a big locust tree. He just kept gazing at that sliding door, hoping for that closed door to open, but it never did. If it had, Papa Jiang wouldn't have gone to jail.


The important part wasn't this. Except for Cheng Lingsu, Jiang Xiu still had two more fiancées. In other words, the poor loser, Jiang Xiu, had three fiancées and all three of them were the daughters of rich and powerful families.


When Jiang Xiu was born, Papa Jiang's family wanted to take him away and set an engagement for him. The family's intention was like this - You, Jiang Yi aren't a person of my Jiang family, but this grandson is mine. The offspring of all big families are political resources so such a thing as an engagement is quite common.


But Mama Jiang, Ling Yueling's family, the Lin family, had different intentions. They said - This is our family's grandson. Why must your Jiang family have the final say? We'll also decide on an engagement and the partner will definitely be better than your family's.


Both sides began to fight again.


Since Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling had left home and established themselves, how could they be willing to listen to their family's arrangements? Let alone, Jiang Xiu being their only son. They naturally didn't wish for their son to become a sacrificial victim. Therefore, they needed to strive for sovereignty, which made Papa Jiang, who was still rich then, give the Cheng family 10,000 RMB and Cheng Lingsu's father had set down the engagement.


And thus, the little loser Jiang Xiu ended up having three fiancées.


It's just that his parents were persistent and managed to keep Jiang Xiu with them. Only after he entered the Imperial Capital when his parents had passed away in the previous timeline did he know that he still had two more fiancées.
