Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Call Off the Engagement

Meanwhile.

Chi Family.

After briefly discussing some important business matters with Mrs. Su, Zhao Yuexiu turned the conversation to familial chitchat.

Chi Mingkun, uninterested in these topics, found an excuse to leave.

Chi Yan, however, sat obediently and cleverly by Mrs. Su’s side.

Upon hearing Mrs. Su mention matters concerning the Capital City, her heart stirred, and as if it were an afterthought, she asked, “Speaking of which, Aunt Su, do you know someone from the Capital City named Fu Si?”

She was very concerned about the man accompanying Chi Gui.

Not only because of his noble aura, which one can only acquire growing up in an aristocratic family, but also due to Zhao Yuexiu’s attention to him.

In the entire Nancheng, nobody had captured Zhao Yuexiu’s attention like that.

Upon hearing Chi Yan’s words, Zhao Yuexiu also grew somewhat concerned.

Chi Yan hadn’t thought much of it; it was just a casual question.

But unexpectedly, when Mrs. Su heard the name, her eyes widened instantly, and she sat up straight, “You know that gentleman?”

“Is his identity very impressive?” Chi Yan pursed her lips and clenched her hands lightly, “Today when my mother and I went to the hospital, we happened to run into him accompanying my sister…”

At Chi Yan’s words, Mrs. Su suddenly laughed, relaxing completely, “It’s probably just someone with the same name. That gentleman from the Capital City, even our Su Family, let alone knowing him personally, can’t even get in touch with his close confidants and friends.”

She picked up the teacup on the table, sipped her tea nonchalantly, “Moreover, that gentleman has no interest in women. So many daughters of wealthy families in the Capital City couldn’t even get a glance from him, let alone…”

Stopping there, she simply smiled and shook her head, “Apart from that gentleman, I’ve never heard of anyone else named Fu Si.”

Hearing her say this, Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mrs. Su had never even heard of him, then even if that man was truly from a wealthy family, he was probably just from some minor, insignificant clan.

So what if his temperament and appearance truly overshadowed Su Qing?

A small household could never compare with the Su Family.

Chi Yan’s heart, which had been unbalanced the entire way, finally found peace.

–

When Mrs. Su returned to the Su Family, she took advantage of dinnertime to relay what she had heard at the Chi Family.

Su Qing’s face remained expressionless.

Mr. Su’s brow furrowed slightly.

Mrs. Su deliberated before saying, “With the girl being so immodest, it would be better for us to call off this engagement sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if people misunderstand her to have some real connection with our family, it wouldn’t be good for Qing’er’s reputation.”

Mr. Su had lived half a lifetime, and it took a lot for him to have such a precious son like Su Qing, who was also so outstanding; he valued him more than anything.

After listening to Mrs. Su, his heart was somewhat shaken, but he still had some concerns, “Initially this marriage was arranged by the old master and that girl’s grandmother. Her grandmother was indebted to our family’s old master, this is well known in our circle. If we call off the engagement without any valid reason, we might risk being labeled as untrustworthy. Moreover, if that girl becomes spiteful and discloses it to the media, it could affect the reputation of Su Family Corporation.”

This concern was sensible and reasonable.

Mrs. Su let out a soft sigh, “The old master was really muddled back then, he should never have pledged his grandson’s lifetime happiness as repayment!”

Hearing this, Su Qing gently set down his chopsticks and said indifferently, “What grandfather originally agreed to was simply to marry a daughter from the Chi Family, he didn’t specify which one.”

Mrs. Su and Mr. Su were momentarily stunned.

When the agreement was made, neither Chi Yan nor Chi Mingkun had been born, indeed, no specific daughter had been mentioned.

If they were to forcefully use this as their reasoning, it might be justifiable.

But ultimately, it would not sound too good if word got out.

Mrs. Su was also satisfied with Chi Yan, “That girl is indeed quite good, barely deserving of our family.”

Su Qing nodded, “I heard that Professor Li Weiyi from the City Hospital also thinks highly of her, and will take her under his wing during her internship.”
