Chap. 003 - Rumors

Yue Yin looked intent into Fang Yi's eyes.

"Quan Li Jian has indeed been a very secretive person since childhood. He doesn't let other people talk about it. But he was also the one who has spread rumors about his illness," Fang Yi began to explain.

"He hates being pitied. But no one doesn't pity him. They deplore Li Jian's short life, even though, he is rich and a genius."

Yue Yin was more and more aware of her difficulty in dealing with the opponent. Her head was like buried in piles of iron now.

"Was that how the news spread? Why is he so terrible? I heard, he was very loved and privileged. Although I know it might be because of his illness. But, what if the marriage did happen? What if we got married. And then, their snobby family locked me in in the house. And won't let me go out wherever I want? I'll be locked up there forever?"

"I would be such a pathetic wife?" Yue Yin grumbled in disbelief.

She started to shiver. And ruffled her hair while swaying her body like a child.

"Liu Fang Yi!!! I really don't want to! And I don't want to let that happen!"

Fang Yi looked at Yue Yin with pity. She hoped to can help. But there wasn't much she could give and do. Yue Yin's complicated expression managed to read.

"If it continues like this. It's a waste of my studying hard on campus and working part-time secretly to get a permanent job for the shake of paying my expenses life after leaving that cursed house!"

The more she thought about it, the more misfortune Yue Yin could imagine.

"Even though I just wanted to live freely and start everything from scratch. However, marriage was never in my plans from the start!"

Fang Yi rubbed Yue Yin's shoulder.

"Enough. Enough. Think about this matter with a cool head. I'm pretty sure we would find a solution."

Yue Yin, who had looked down due to pressure, suddenly raised her face.

She clasped Fang Yi's hand and made a wish.

"Please! Don't tell Tao Ran about this matter! I don't want him to be bothered and start throwing a tantrum!"

Fang Yi couldn't help but nod slowly.

"Okay! I won't tell him."

Tao Ran's voice sounded beside them, "What don't you guys want to tell?"

Fang Yi opened her eyes wide. She was surprised to see Tao Ran had ready standing beside him and smiling kindly. A man with a height of 187cm and slanted eyes that look like snails.

Fang Yi was suddenly indifferent.

"Just about women's business! Men are not allowed to interfere!"

They then entered the classroom together without discussing Yue Yin's wedding plans.

Quan residence.

Quan's second son's room. Quan Li Jian.

"I know you are disappointed in grandpa's decision. However, Dad can't do much if grandpa has already made up his mind."

Quan Li Jian was still silent and listening.

"It was originally, the second daughter of the Wen family that you were going to marry. But after considering a few things and going through some negotiations. Their first daughter was chosen by your grandpa."

Li Jian hasn't shown any expression yet when he was talking to his father.

"I knew that from the start, grandpa wanted their first daughter. You don't have to cover it up. And I don't care who I marry could. It is just. How about our engagement? Wasn't before this, you already arranged my marriage to the Hong family."

Heng Han let out a long sigh. He also had a hard time following his father's demands.

"I will solve that problem. So you don't have to worry. Just focus on your work. And let us take care of this marriage matter. Then, as much as possible Dad will try to persuade your grandpa."

Heng Han left Li Jian alone.

He tried to find the right target to express his opinion. He was looking for his father to talk to and discuss. Gui Ren didn't look surprised at his son's rage.

"Are you sure this is the right decision? I know very well how messed up their family relationship was. Chang Ge had an affair with another woman and left his wife alone. Does not take good care of her child. He even remarried on the day of his first wife's funeral."

Heng Han looked at his father super seriously.

"Dad wants to be with someone like that?"

Gui Ren smoked his cigar. He wouldn't like to get emotional as his son did. When everything he had considered carefully before making a decision shocked everyone.

"I've investigated their first daughter, Heng Han. I was caring for my grandson too. So I couldn't bear to put him in trouble."

Heng Han still disagreed.

"But through this father's wish. Anything would get more complex. And would be sad for Li Jian."

Gui Ren was not willing to change his decision.

"I have judged that Wen Yue Yin is much better than that Miss of the Hong family."

Heng Han glared. When the choice was commented on.

"Was dad doing this because you didn't like their ways to do business? They're good at taking opportunities. Even though sometimes it's too hasty. But everything they thought about was mature."

"Then, their only daughter isn't even comparable to a woman without skills, like Miss Wen. She is today's businesswoman. She has also earned many honors in handling various projects."

Gui Ren sighed.

"I would like to marry my grandson to a woman who could be a nice wife. she should not be a business partner! And she should not be a good negotiator either."

Gui Ren believed his opinion was correct.

"Even if she has the brains of a genius. Does the woman for the Quan family need to have such high qualifications?"

"I've know education is important. A person's intellectual ability is also the main point of how he would be treated by others. However, have you forgotten who spread the rumors about my sick grandson?"

Heng Han was annoyed whenever this matter was brought up.

"That's Li Jian by himself! Don't you know why he did that?" Gui Ren asked.

"Even because of the bad news he spread. I almost had a sudden heart attack. The Hong family looked us in one eye. Then ill wish was hidden behind his sly smile!"

Heng Han turned cynical.

"Isn't that much different on the Wen family? They had offered their daughter from the start! However, the precious opportunity fell to their first daughter!"

"They also wished Li Jian has a quick death. Then his property fell into the hands of their daughter!"

Gui Ren closed his eyes. He was trying to be patient.

He didn't think that Li Jian's mess could cause such a terrible thing.

"That's why instead of worrying about who my future daughter-in-law was. You have better go and fix Li Jian's attitude!"

Gui Ren avoided arguing. He has guessed that his son would not agree and against his decision. So, just talking would be a waste of time.
