"Why?"

Peng Qibo frowned.

Although he wanted to ignore the person in his heart, he couldn't help but want to know why.

"It's all related to her going to the incense shop."

Grandpa Peng wouldn't hide anything from Fang Shuning.

They told everyone in front of them everything, including Lin Jingyu's activities in Xiangdu.

In the end, he couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, your mother never liked her. When you got engaged, she only accepted it reluctantly."

Learning what Lin Jingyu had done in Xiangdu was like hitting a nerve with your mother, infuriating her.

Those on the bounty list will not be removed from the list unless they die.

This is also why your mother strongly opposes it and insists on breaking off the engagement.

"My mother..."

Peng Qibo was at a loss for words.

"She's doing this for your own good."

Grandpa Peng glanced at his grandson and said, "Shiyu has chosen to develop her career in Xiangdu again, so we have no choice but to separate the family and have your second uncle and aunt move out."

"Since my mother has decided to dissolve the engagement for me, Grandpa, when would you like to make a trip?"

Peng Qibo lowered his eyelids and said in the calmest tone, "Go find Grandpa Zhang and the others to cancel the engagement."

In any case, our Peng family cannot withstand any more setbacks; the best solution is to dissolve the engagement.

"Bo'er, the best solution is to let Jingyu marry into the family."

Grandpa Peng had no choice but to reveal his plans: "I'm getting older, your father and your second uncle can't go any further, and your brother is still too young."

Our Peng family needs someone to hold things together, and Jingyu is the best candidate.

Only if she marries into the family can the Peng family be kept safe.

"Grandpa, given my current situation, it's best not to be a burden to others."

Peng Qibo's tone grew increasingly somber, "Besides, given my circumstances, how could her family possibly agree to her marrying me?"

My mom doesn't like her, and her family doesn't want her to marry me.

Since that's the case, why should we force it?

"Wouldn't it be better to dissolve the engagement and each be free?"

"Bo'er!"

Grandpa Peng knew that what his grandson said was true.

He had always wanted the Peng family to establish itself in the capital, and he was unwilling to give up his granddaughter-in-law who could lead the Peng family to prosperity.

"Grandpa, forced love is never sweet."

Peng Qibo could guess his grandfather's thoughts: "We might even make things worse. Besides, they have powerful backers. What can we do to get them to agree?"

Grandpa Peng frowned slightly. "Bo'er, your relationship with Jingyu..."

"Grandpa, let me tell you the truth."

Peng Qibo gave a wry smile. "I've known Jingyu for six or seven years, but we've only spent less than half a year together. Each time we meet, we only see each other for a few days before parting ways again."

Even if we had feelings for each other at the beginning, how much will be left as time goes on?

"You don't like her anymore?"

"It's not that I don't like her, or that I don't love her, but compared to other women, I would definitely choose her."

"Are you ready to give up now?"

"Grandpa, actually Jingyu's love for me is very faint. If it weren't for the foundation of our relationship at the beginning, we might have broken up long ago."

"You mean Jingyu doesn't have much affection for you, and if her family objects to her marrying you, she won't insist on marrying you because of her family's wishes, is that right?"

“In her heart, I am definitely not as important as her family.”

"I see."

Grandpa Peng rubbed his forehead. "If your mother hadn't been making a fuss about breaking off your engagement, you two might still have ended up together."

After all, the Zhang and Lin families have a very good impression of you and accept you as their son-in-law.

Furthermore, Jingyu's sect also agrees to your marriage.

Even if you come back injured this time, given their sense of righteousness, they certainly won't directly object to Lin Jingyu marrying you.

Unfortunately, your mother's outburst completely offended Jingyu's elders.

Given your current situation, how could they possibly agree to let Jingyu marry into the family?

Your mother is utterly useless and only causes trouble!

"Grandpa, this is my fate."

Peng Qibo closed his eyes and responded softly, "Maybe this is the best way. My mother won't have to face the daughter-in-law she likes, and Jingyu won't have to suffer the grievances my mother inflicts."

"You kid..."

...

Lin Jingyu was unaware of what was happening in the capital.

It was five days later when she and Wen Lechun returned to the capital.

The two went home separately.

When Lin Jingyu suddenly appeared, it immediately alarmed everyone.

"Little Yu'er is back!"

Madam Zhang immediately hugged her beloved granddaughter and exclaimed excitedly, "You silly girl, why didn't you tell us you were coming back this time?"

Come here, let Grandma see, our little Yu'er has become even more beautiful, even more gorgeous.

But I've lost weight, and I've lost even more weight.

"Little Yu'er, you haven't been eating properly again, have you? Look how thin you've become, it really worries me."

"Grandma, I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Lin Jingyu was both amused and exasperated. "I have a similar build to you, but a smaller frame. I'm not too thin, and I'm very healthy."

"You should eat more."

Grandpa Zhang glanced at her and said, "It's a blessing for a girl to gain some weight. You used to look much prettier than you do now."

"Okay, I've got it."

Lin Jingyu smiled and readily agreed.

"Keep talking to your grandpa, I'll go get you something to eat."

Madam Zhang got up to go to the kitchen. "You must not have eaten much on the train. I'll go get you something to fill your stomach."
