In the Jiang Family Hall, a group sat gravely in silence.
"I can save him, but he must break off his engagement with Jiang Caiwei."
When Jiang Jiubai's firm finger pointed at her, Jiang Caiwei's face immediately turned green.
"Jiubai," Jiang Caiwei practically lost her mind, "What nonsense are you spewing?!"
"I haven't finished my sentence." Jiang Jiubai glanced at her with disdain, then slowly spat out a few more words, "Break off the engagement with Jiang Caiwei, and marry me!"
The last two words were declared with such gravity that the entire hall fell silent.
The servants attending to the hall cast a disdainful glance at the woman sitting in the center.
Jiubai, Jiang Caiwei's half-sister from the same father, had placed such a demand on them at a time when their brother-in-law was critically ill and his only lifeline lay with her. It was pure robbery.
