Chapter 273 Dismissal

No matter how reluctant the Zhao Family was, the Zhang Family had annulled the engagement, making it even harder for the Zhao Family girls to find suitors. Devastated by the blow, Zhao Xiaoxing didn't go to work that afternoon and instead hid in her room, crying incessantly.

Zhao Jianing said, "What's the use of crying? Didn't you used to say the same to me?"

Zhao Xiaoxing, irritated and unable to find a target for her frustration, retorted, "Don't gloat over my misfortune. It's all because of you that I got dumped by the Zhang Family today, and it's because of you that our family has become like this. You're a jinx."

Zhao Jianing pursed her lips and replied, "Say whatever you want, at the end of the day, I'm not the one who got the marriage annulled."

After finishing, she turned around and left the courtyard to sit in a shady spot, contemplating how to broach the subject of schooling with her cheap adoptive father once he returned. She couldn't afford any more delays.
