Chapter 9: Not Worthy

Chairman Oh rushed to Yongping Village overnight. He thought he would see an older man living in seclusion, or at least a middle-aged man, but he did not expect the expert mentioned by his old friend to be a young girl.

Chairman Oh thought his old friend was joking, so he asked him to stop joking and invite the expert out.

Lalisa stood up and said coldly, "I am that master."

Her arrogant tone surprised Chairman Oh. He wanted competition with her. The two of them immediately played a game. Unsurprisingly, he lost the game.

From then on, he often sought out Lalisa to play Chinese chess. The two of them called each other friends, the best of friends, despite the age difference.

Lalisa laughed when she heard him share the victory with her. "You won this on your own. It has nothing to do with me."

Chairman Oh knew that Lalisa had a cold personality, so he did not mind what she said. He opened the chessboard and said, "This is a game with a foreign friend, but both of us are in a stalemate. We don't know how to continue. Please take a look."

Lalisa stood at the side and watched silently. She casually picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. Chairman Oh instantly became excited. "Why didn't I think of this move? Placing it here can change the direction of the entire game. You are indeed a master."

Chairman Oh was immersed in the joy of solving the chess game, but Lalisa took out a marriage contract with her and Sehun's names written on it. Chairman Oh personally wrote it back then.

"This is the marriage contract between Sehun and me. I came here today to break off the engagement."

Lalisa firmly said, "I think you also know that we are incompatible."

Lalisa did not have any feelings for this fiancé. The Manobal Family had rushed to bring her back because Sehun had already reached the age to get married, so they wanted the two of them to break off the engagement.

Lalisa wanted to cancel the engagement.

In the original host's memory, this fiancé hated her. He was probably still thinking about how to break off the engagement outside, and she just happened to fulfill his wish.

Chairman Oh looked at the marriage contract and sighed, "Indeed, you are not a good match. It's Sehun who doesn't deserve you."

To be honest, he did not want to accept the annulment. Ever since he found out that his friend was the eldest daughter of the Manobal Family, he has been extremely happy. He thought that if he could become a family with his friend, the Oh family would be able to rise to a higher level in the chess industry.

However, since Lalisa had said she wanted to break off the engagement, it had already reached an irreversible point. He could only pity that Sehun had lost such a good fiancée.

Since the engagement had already been broken off, Lalisa did not intend to stay any longer. She said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Wait a minute." Chairman Oh stopped her and said, "I heard you've recently been looking for Tango fruit. It's used to stimulate your nerves and restore your memory. Are you still troubled by what happened those two years?"

Everyone in Yongping Village knew that Lalisa had been kidnapped five years ago and had only returned to Yongping Village two years later. However, a small part of her memory had been messed up, and she could not remember anything that had happened in the past two years. From then on, Lalisa started to concoct medicine for herself, as if she had to remember it no matter what.

"Those are my memories. I have to get them back." Lalisa said.

She had never lost her memories, even after her rebirth. She could not bear this kind of accident, as if something had escaped her control.

She had been looking for a way to recover her memory but had not succeeded. That was why she had set her eyes on the Tango fruit.

"I'll ask someone to ask around." Chairman Oh wanted to make up for her.

Lalisa walked out of the door and said, "Thanks."

She did not expect to bump into Sehun as soon as she went out. When he saw Lalisa, his face darkened. "How did you know my grandfather? What do you want?"

Observing his expression, he questioned whether Lalisa employed some cunning tactics. She grinned and said, "You'll need to inquire with your grandfather about that."

Sehun was a so-called genius still attached to his family's power. Even if Lalisa had not been reborn, she would not be interested in him. She had participated in national experiments when she was a teenager. The real geniuses she had seen were all the better than Sehun.

"You don't have to be arrogant here. Even if Grandpa disagrees, I'll still break off the engagement." Sehun looked at Lalisa repeatedly and said, "Even if I were single for the rest of my life, I would never marry someone like you."

"You can't even decide on your marriage. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this?"

Lalisa did not take his words at all. She did not even want to respond to such a childish threat.

She took out a lollipop, peeled off the packaging, and put it in her mouth. She walked past the guests and left as if the luxury party and upper-class people were nothing in her eyes.
