Sheng Minglan looked at Sheng Xiao, her cousin. Finally, she replied with a single word, "No!"
"No…" Sheng Xiao fell into deep thought. Then, he beckoned them to sit down. "How can we discuss it if you don't sit down?"
"Sheng Xiao, this is not the time to joke now."
"You should just agree to it if the old man tells you to get engaged." Sheng Xiao told her.
"You want me to agree to it?"
"You could focus on working with your plan to establish your own company when he lets his guard down. I know you have been working on it. And during the engagement ceremony, you can reject him on the spot. Then, you can negotiate with the old man and make him promise not to interfere with your career for three years. Otherwise, you will fight with him until the end."
"You can do it but…"
"Why can't you?" Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Minglan. "Fourth Sister, you are a brave person. You are the one who can fight for your own freedom."
