Zhang Lian's Responsibility Part Two

Lian reluctantly spoke up and asked, her voice edged with frustration, "Who is it this time?"

The family head paused, his piercing blue eyes lingering on her. "I'm sure you've been watching the live stream."

"What about it?" Lian asked, her brow furrowing.

Zhang Xian continued, "The one with the White Comets," he narrowed his eyes.

Lian narrowed her eyes in return. "Don't tell me…"

"Yes," he cut her off, "the summoner boy. You'll be marrying him."

Lian felt a sharp sting at the implication. "Giving off your granddaughter to a child? Can't you offer him some kind of old relic from the family treasures and ask him for a favor?"

Zhang Xian sighed. "I'm disappointed in your level of intelligence, Lian, I thought it was supposed to be your greatest quility. If we did something like that, not only would the guild demand an official contract in order to get his help, but what's to stop him from helping our competitors?"
