Whether it was the arranged marriage more than a decade ago, or the nod of agreement he made a few days ago while holding his old friend Liu's hand.

It was all his doing.

He should step in and resolve this.

Old Master Chu thought this way and said this way: "No matter what the children of my Chu family are like, they will be guided and corrected by their own family members. It is not up to outsiders to make irresponsible remarks."

These are his words.

This startled Mr. and Mrs. Liu so much that they couldn't sit still.

They then realized they had gone too far; they seemed to have walked right into a trap!

Grandma Chu was also displeased: "The Liu family and the Chu family have an arranged marriage between their children, which we acknowledge. But if you like Sisi, you can talk to us properly. We are not the kind of malicious people who would break up a couple. Who are you trying to impress by putting one down and praising the other? Do you think the Chu family has no one left?"

She was more in favor of Chu Sisi and Liu Sheng's marriage, but that didn't mean she could tolerate anyone arbitrarily criticizing her other granddaughter, even if she herself had her own reasons for criticizing that granddaughter.

If it weren't for my friendship with Old Master Liu...

How could they possibly respect the down-on-their-luck younger generation of the Liu family, who are so undisciplined and unambitious?

But one should have a conscience.

A promise to marry must be kept.

Therefore, they do not despise the Liu family as their in-laws.

But that doesn't mean they can tolerate the Liu family plucking the tiger's hair out of the tiger's head or not taking them seriously.

When the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Yan Jiu handed Chu Nian to Chu Chu and said casually, "Has no one asked me, the person involved, for my opinion on him, who has both good looks and a good family background?"

Everyone: "..." What the hell? He wants good looks and a good family background, and he wants a good family background and good looks. Doesn't that mean he's completely useless?

Chu Sisi shuddered.

She didn't dare to speak.

She knew that Yagyu had acted impulsively.

It wasn't that she was speaking up for the Chu family or for Yan Jiu.

She understood the Chu family's way of doing things.

Blindly breaking off the engagement and remarrying will only incur the Chu family's disgust.

so.

She dared not speak up for anyone.

Yan Jiu's words, however, left her puzzled.

Yan Jiu looked on with great interest.

Won't they go against the grain and rise to the challenge?

Liu Sheng straightened his chest, showing no fear: "No matter what you say, I will not marry you."

System: [...] Confirmed. This is a ruthless person who has been flirting with death!

At this moment, Chu Sisi was afraid that Yan Jiu would refuse to annul the engagement in order to go against her and make her feel uncomfortable.

She cried as she expressed her feelings.

I hope that I can have a happy ending with Yagyu.

Liu Sheng couldn't bear to see Chu Sisi cry.

I felt a pang of heartache at that moment.

At this moment.

Yan Jiu suddenly clapped.

Like a complete idiot, Liu Sheng asked, utterly bewildered, "Why are you clapping?"

Yan Jiu slowly lowered his hand and said truthfully, "People as funny as you two, I can't allow no one to applaud you two, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick."

Chu Sisi: I have reason to suspect that you are implying something about us.

Liu Sheng still looked completely bewildered.
