Chu Xixuan closed his eyes and said, "There is gain and loss, and there is gain and loss. Grandpa, it's useless to hold on to things that are not mine!"
The Chu family's head thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Canceling an engagement isn't that easy! Although you haven't made it public, the Jin family, one of the five major families, already knows. The Meng and Zhu families should have guessed something as well, and they've expressed certain opinions on many projects. Also, because of your engagement, we've collaborated with the Lan family on many projects, and there are many interests involved. Add to that the recent surge in Lan's stock price... one move can affect the entire family. If you cancel the engagement at this time, the losses will be immeasurable! Our Chu family might be able to withstand it, but the Lan family is different. They might collapse at once. Xixuan, are you going to destroy the Lan family?"
Chu Xixuan opened his eyes and looked at the Chu family's patriarch. After a while, he said, "One year. Lan Ziye and I will cancel our engagement! During this year, I will handle all the involved matters!" He paused and continued, "It actually doesn't affect the interests of the Chu and Lan families!"
The Chu family's patriarch laughed and said, "You really do care about the Lan family. Then can you tell me why I insisted on breaking off the engagement? Even if you don't remember Lan Ziye and don't love him anymore, there's no need to break off the engagement! You have to know that marriages between families like ours are never based on love. Love is only a burden!"
"Grandpa, I'm tired!" Chu Xixuan didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he turned his face to the side and stopped talking!
The Chu family's Patriarch stared blankly at his grandson, who he was increasingly confused about. He sighed and said, "You are the future Patriarch of the Chu family. You make the decision yourself!"
After a pause, he added, "But I still hope that before you make any decision, you will first consider the long-term interests of the Chu family. You just asked me if it was because Lan Ziye has purple pupils. Now I can solemnly tell you that it is because she has purple pupils..." At the end, the head of the Chu family's voice turned cold, "There is no way in the Chu family that we will let Zi Tong end up in other families!"
After saying that, he stood up and left Chu Xixuan's room.
As soon as they left Chu Xixuan's house, the Chu family's patriarch ordered, "Check where the eldest son has been recently and what he has been doing. Also...how did he get injured this time!"
"Yes, master!" The little bird appeared in an instant, and then turned into a parrot and flew away in an instant.
Lan Ziye fell into a deep sleep as soon as she returned to her room. She didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and something was wrong with her whole body. She got up, put on her clothes, went downstairs, and saw the head of the Chu family sitting at the dining table.
"Head of the family?" Lan Ziye asked in surprise.
Isn't this owner busy with all sorts of things? Why is he still here?
"Come, have breakfast with grandpa!" said the head of the Chu family kindly.
Lan Ziye sat down opposite the head of the Chu family with a look of suspicion on her face. Immediately, a servant made her some milk and placed a sandwich in front of her.
Lan Ziye looked up at the servant and said, "Is there any porridge? Millet porridge with pickles will be fine!"
The servant turned to look at the Chu family's Patriarch. The Chu family's Patriarch was displeased, his face stern, and he said sternly: "Young Madam's order is not working?"
"Yes!" The servant was terrified and retreated quickly.
When the Chu family's Patriarch turned around to look at Lan Ziye again, a loving expression appeared on his face, and he smiled faintly, "Not many girls like to eat Chinese food!"
