A marriage is fundamentally a matter between two people. It's a new era now; young people have the freedom to choose their own love. We can just graciously admit that yes, Zhizhi has fallen in love with someone else while she was growing up, and take the initiative to call off the marriage after exlaining to the Ji family."
"That won't do!" Qin Ciling said, "The Song family will be criticized for sure!"
