“Lao Nan, your words are too distant and cold. Our two families have known each other for decades. The marriage between your family’s Yan Yan and my grandson was arranged when your father was still alive. My grandson was insensible and imprudent in his way of calling off the marriage yesterday, and I am really sorry that it has caused such a negative impact on your Nan family. After reading the news reports, I called him and severely rebuked him. And, today, I specifically made him come here to apologize to you and Yan Yan.” 

Old Master Fu’s face looked sincerely apologetic. After saying this, he gave Fu Xiao a look.

Understanding the meaning behind his look, Fu Xiao raised his brows reluctantly and answered Old Master Fu, “Grandpa, I’ve already told you that I don’t like Nan Yan. I’ve met Nan Yan only a few times, so there are no feelings involved at all, and I don’t want to ruin my lifelong happiness. Besides, I already have someone I like.”

“What does Young Master Fu mean by that? What do you mean by saying that it would ruin your lifelong happiness? Do you think my Yan Yan isn’t worthy of you?” Nan Shang’s facial expression changed abruptly when he heard these words. If it hadn’t been for Old Master Fu being there, he would already be slamming the table.

Old Master Fu quickly tried to appease Nan Shang, “Lao Nan, please don’t be angry, please don’t be angry. My grandson has been spoiled ever since childhood, so please don’t mind him. Your family’s Yan Yan is of course the best. She’s beautiful, well-behaved, as well as sensible and understanding. It’s my family’s rascal who doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

“Grandpa…”

“Shut up.” Old Master Fu was a little annoyed, and he glared at Fu Xiao, who wanted to speak.

His face full of resentment, Fu Xiao closed his mouth with reluctance.

Nan Yan sat there and watched them silently without saying a word. In her heart, she couldn’t help but feel disapproving several times. This man’s intelligence was lacking, and to think that he was actually a top medical student. What a pity!

“Third Master, you’re back.” In the midst of the tension in the banquet hall, the butler’s respectful voice could be heard from the door.

Immediately afterward, a handsome figure with a sublime and noble aura, dressed in a black suit and leather shoes, walked into their field of vision. Nan Yan raised her eyes to look at him, and she was stunned in spite of herself.

It was him!

Fu Jingheng, the youngest son of the Fu family…

She had seen many handsome guys, including her second brother, Nan Mo, Nan Yun, who was only one year older than she was, and Fu Xiao, who was sitting opposite her. Their looks were all first class, but this man who had just entered the room made her scream devil in her heart.

“Dad.” The man walked up to Old Master Fu and nodded slightly. A cold, magnetic voice emerged from his throat, giving off a chilling sensation.

His voice made Nan Yan snap back to reality. She couldn’t help but shudder. She looked at his profile carefully, then moved her gaze to Fu Xiao, who was obviously agitated, and she compared them. Fu Xiao’s handsome looks were eclipsed by his uncle. He paled in comparison.

“Jingheng, you came back just in time. We were talking about the marriage nullification between Fu Xiao and the Nan family. You have the most contact with the news media, so this matter must be resolved by you.” Old Master Fu nodded and motioned with his eyes at Nan Shang and his daughter.

Fu Jingheng nodded and looked at them sideways. His cold gaze swept over Fu Xiao, who seemed a little worried. As soon as Fu Xiao felt his gaze, he couldn’t help but tremble. He stood up and greeted him, “Little uncle.”
