Observing Tian Qi's departure, Jiang Caixiu's mother grew genuinely fearful. She hastened to catch up, pleading for mercy. "Danqiu, Danqiu, please don't be like this. I realize my mistake now. The engagement between Caixiu and you is over. You two have nothing to do with each other. It was my thoughtless words that led to this situation."

"Please, Danqiu, spare me. Caixiu is already taken away. I can't afford the same fate. Our Jiang family would be ruined—completely hopeless!" She couldn't fathom the dire future that awaited the Jiang family.
Her cries echoed, and Gu Chaoyan frowned, irritated by the unjust implication that the Yan Family was to blame for the Jiangs' predicament.
"The Jiang Family's plight is your own doing. Jiang Caixiu brought it upon himself, just as you did. Whatever befalls the Jiang Family is your responsibility. Face the consequences of your actions," Gu Chaoyan retorted, her patience waning.
