Yu Jingrong laughed as he looked at him, "Cao, you're a busy man that manages myriads of things every day. How fortunate I am that you can still find the time to have a meal with me, even here in Xun City."
These words weren't said in jest. It seemed like Cao Lin was truly busy. He should have attended the two grand jade carving competitions, yet he hadn't.
What Yu Jingrong didn't know was that this absence wasn't due to a lack of time on Cao Lin's part. Rather, it was his way of evading a particular issue.
Because of his father, who had been worrying himself to death over his marriage for the past couple of years. Initially, he had urged him to court Yu Jingrong, but upon learning that she was getting engaged to Li Chengyun, he started telling him that the Cao Family was looking to form a marital alliance with Meng's Family from Heng City, suggesting that if he couldn't get Yu Jingrong, he should be with Meng Ziqi.
