"Brother Xu, have you met Chu Qingning?" Ji Hongshan, seeing Xu Jizhou's reaction, was a bit puzzled. What was he dissatisfied with?
Jiang Zhaoyong walked by, overheard the name Chu Qingning, and stopped sensitively. He hid behind a nearby tree, silently listening.
Xu Jizhou replied straightforwardly, "No."
Ji Hongshan was confused, "Then why are you upset? Is it because she rejected you?" That was likely the case—getting rejected hurts one's pride.
Xu Jizhou tossed another stone into the lake and angrily replied, "Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by one's parents. What right did she have to say no?"
Ji Hongshan continued, "Maybe it's because of the girl's parents…" He didn't finish the sentence, but the implied meaning was clear: her parents didn't like Xu Jizhou. Of course, no one would say that outright.
Xu Jizhou turned around and glared at Ji Hongshan. "Impossible!"
