Chapter 709 She is my ex-wife_1

The tone of Eleven’s response clearly indicated her reluctance to harbour any connection with the Shang family, leaving Shang Meng flustered.

However, he had to refrain from any outburst due to the presence of Gu Liancheng. Furthermore, Qianxun as his ex-wife deserved his respect.

"It’s fine," Shang Jingyang replied, "As long as you’re here, we’re pleased. Who you are here for or the identity you hold are not of importance."

"Really?" Eleven, aware of their thoughts, replied lightly, "Although, I perceive that everyone doesn’t seem to be delighted."

Shang Muxue and Shang Meng certainly didn’t want her there.

Significantly, even Liancheng might not want her to join the gathering.

Of course, if she wished to join, he would allow her to. However, Eleven had never intended to attend their engagement ceremony.

Regarding future matters, he refrained from sharing details. She chose to trust him, but watching them express their love at their engagement ceremony and thus causing herself heartache was something she would definitely not be a part of.

Why voluntarily upset herself?

"How could it be? Are you over-analyzing?" Shang Jingyang chose to disregard the issue that everyone was aware of.

"Regardless of whether I’m over-analyzing, I think it’s necessary for me to clarify a matter here today. A matter that everyone is aware of inherently, but it’s imperative for me to emphasize again. I share no connection with the Shang family, not in the past, not presently, and certainly not in the future."

Seeing Luo Qing about to speak, Eleven merely chuckled and said, "Madam Shang, no matter how many times you say it, I will not believe that you are my mother. My mother and the girl named Qianxun died more than a decade ago."

Eleven’s words were resolute and clear, informing her that even if she was alive, she was considered dead in Eleven’s eyes, leaving no room for any fantasies.

The table went silent at her words, but she nonchalantly laughed, "Let’s eat, the food is getting cold."

She stated that this was the meal marking the end of her association with her ex-husband, and it had to be finished.

Yes, this was the meal clipping the ties of their past relationship, and she referred to him as her ex-husband, nothing more.

Eleven’s presence made the meal somewhat eerie.

Her constant smile unsettled some.

Liancheng did not exchange any words with her throughout, occasionally sharing a glance, however, failing to decipher each other’s thoughts, resorting to averting their gaze instead.

"I’m full now, thank you for the hospitality."

As Eleven stood up, Shang Jingyang also got up, "Let me walk you over."

Eleven did not object, "That’ll be fine."

"Let’s go together."

The sight of Liancheng standing up brought unease to the hearts of the father and daughter duo of the Shang family.

"Do we really need two people to escort her?" Shang Jingyang’s smile showed a hint of strangeness, "The distance is trivial, I can escort Thousand."

"If someone must do the escorting, it should be me," Liancheng said, "She’s my ex-wife and not my enemy. We divorced amicably, and it’s not as if we can’t even stand the sight of each other."

"Really?"

Liancheng replied decisively, "Of course. We still have two children together. That’s an unbreakable tie. In the future, it won’t be possible for me to ignore our children. Little Snow, if you’re uncomfortable with this, you can reconsider."

"I don’t mind!" Shang Muxue exclaimed in haste, "That’s not an issue at all! I’ve never suggested cutting off the connection..."
