Chapter 11
“Madam Zhuang, let’s speak openly. There’s no need to pretend anymore. Back then, our old man insisted on going to your house to make an engagement. It wasn’t appropriate for us to say anything. However, I don’t need to say much about your son’s situation and there’s absolutely no need to drag our child into the water. Jing Jing is still young. I plan to keep her by my side for a few more years and then properly choose a husband for her. Third Young Master Zhuang’s health… Our family is really scared and can’t afford to serve him.” Chen Yi pulled Tan Jing to sit by her side as she said sarcastically.

Shen Qing was so angry that she almost couldn’t sit still. Her son’s health had always been a sore spot in her heart. This person spoke with total disregard for her feelings the moment she opened her mouth. She did not spare any thought for herself at all. Even though her third son had already informed her in advance, she was still extremely angry.

Grandma Zhuang, who was beside her, tugged at her calmly, “Are you sure you’ve thought this through? The Zhuang family’s marriage is not something that can be called off on a whim.”

Chen Yi laughed coldly. “Of course. The Tan family is not a charity. Not only is your Third Young Master crippled, but he’s also still sickly. I’ve just reunited with my precious daughter. If I were to allow her to marry your son and she ends up a widow, who would understand my pain?”

Even though Tan Jing pretended to smile reservedly, her eyes revealed her ridicule towards Shen Qing and Grandma Zhuang.

Chen Yi continued, “Don’t blame our family for being cruel. Let’s break off the engagement quickly and not ruin my daughter’s future. For the sake of our relationship, I will recommend a few good doctors to you. Even though it probably won’t make a difference, you should still try no matter what.”

Shen Qing was shaking, but she calmed down shortly after. She exchanged a glance with Grandma Zhuang. They had a plan.
