Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The lights in the living room were still on when Xia Zhi returned to the old mansion. She didn’t have to think to know that Grandpa was still awake. When she entered the old house, she found Grandpa sitting on the couch in a huff.

Because of his health, Xia Zhi’s grandfather was unable to attend the wedding, but he was still paying close attention to his granddaughter. He had to have heard the news about the wedding disaster as soon as it happened.

Xia Zhi sighed, then walked behind Wang Sheng and massaged his shoulders as she said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry.”

Grandpa rapped the ground with his walking stick and said in a loud voice, “How can I not be angry? The nerve of that brat, Chu Ci. With Xia Lin, of all people! Just now, Xia Long actually had the guts to call me and say that Xia Lin was hospitalized because you drove her up the wall. Hah, I would have taken his head off if he was in front of me! Little Zhi, you did good. That’s the way it’s done!”

Xia Zhi smiled happily after getting her grandfather’s approval. Xia Zhi didn’t give a hoot about what other people thought of her, but she always cared to know what her grandfather had to say.

When her mother passed away, Xia Long immediately married Lin Hui and brought back Xia Lin, who was about the same age as Xia Zhi. Her grandfather was afraid that Xia Long would give her a rough time, so he didn’t hesitate to give Xia Long the management rights of the company in exchange for her custody. Therefore, to Xia Zhi, her grandfather was the most important person to her.

“Grandpa, I’ve come to the capital as you asked. I’m already engaged. It’s time for me to treat you, right?” Xia Zhi didn’t understand why her grandfather insisted that she get engaged. Fortunately, it was already done. She reached out to take Wang Sheng’s pulse.

However, her grandfather retracted his hand as soon as she made a move. He even refused her repeatedly. “No, no. Not a chance!”

“Why?” Xia Zhi frowned. “Why?”

“Your engagement with Chu Nan is fake, that’s why! It doesn’t count!”

Wang Sheng’s voice was still low when he said this at the beginning, but near the end, he was almost shouting.

Xia Zhi felt a little helpless when she saw her grandfather like this. Grandpa wasn’t like this before. Why was he acting like an old child?

Although Xia Zhi felt helpless, she still spoke patiently. “No, Chu Nan is different.” As long as her grandfather would cooperate with the treatment, she would say anything.

However, Xia Zhi didn’t expect her words to surprise Wang Sheng. He widened his eyes and asked in shock, “Is Chu Nan the real deal?”

Xia Zhi could not understand why her grandfather would be so surprised, but she still nodded and replied, “It’s true!”

After that, Xia Zhi added, “He’s more genuine than real gold!”

After getting Xia Zhi’s affirmation, Wang Sheng became anxious. “No, how could that be possible? Little Zhi, tell me the truth, do you even know who Chu Nan is?”

Xia Zhi shook her head and said, “Not really, no.”

After getting Xia Zhi’s answer, Wang Sheng became anxious. “How dare you get engaged to him without knowing him? Let me tell you something. Those who know Chu Nan all say that he has a sinister personality and that his methods are extremely cruel. Also, when the Chu family had an internal strife back then, he directly chased the mastermind, who was also the head of the third branch family, out of the country!”

Xia Zhi frowned and looked at Wang Sheng in confusion. “Grandpa, if Chu Nan only chased them out of the country, how is that cruel? If it was me, I would have made them wish they were dead.”

Wang Sheng’s mouth hung open for a long time before he said, “Originally, Chu Nan wanted to do just that, but someone pleaded for mercy and he let them off.”

After saying this, Wang Sheng did not want to waste any more time and directly said, “Whatever the case is, you can’t be together. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go with you to break off the engagement!”

Xia Zhi directly refused, “No! I think that Chu Nan and I are quite compatible. We even have the same thoughts. Besides, I don’t think rumors add up to Chu Nan. He’s a good person. I found a good one!”

Wang Sheng was so angry that he glared at his own beard.

Xia Zhi saw that Wang Sheng was about to erupt, so she quickly spoke up. “Grandpa, do you not want me to treat you?”

Wang Sheng’s fingers paused for a moment. His expression relaxed. “What nonsense is that? Of course, I want you to treat me, but I’m just worried about you. I don’t feel that Chu Nan is a good person. Forget it, forget it. I’ll take a step back. If you say that Chu Nan is a good person, then bring him back. If I like what I see, then I’ll agree to your engagement.”
