Breaking off the engagement?
Upon hearing these two words, Su Qinwei's gaze locked onto Yin Tian.
Today, Yin Tian actually gave Su Qinwei a great surprise.
Initially, she thought he was a sorcerer, a charlatan fooling people.
Later, he cured Grandfather's illness with extreme ease, proving he was no fraud.
Now, he mentioned breaking off the engagement, filling Su Qinwei's eyes with curiosity.
"I don't agree with you breaking off the engagement... cough cough..." Old Mr. Su struggled to sit up from his sickbed and spoke to Yin Tian.
"Dad! What are you doing? If he wants to break off the engagement, let him!" Su Changhe stamped his foot anxiously, walking up to Old Patriarch Su.
"Without Immortal Master Qin back then, there would be no Su Family today, so I don't agree to breaking off the engagement!" Old Mr. Su glanced at his son, then spoke righteously.
Su Changhe shook his head, "Isn't this harming Qinwei?" While speaking, he turned his head towards Su Qinwei and said, "Qinwei, you must persuade Grandfather!"
Although Yin Tian's medical skill was impressive, Su Changhe still found Yin Tian to be shabby and poor.
Su Qinwei bit her lip, her beautiful eyes lifting, looking towards Yin Tian.
Yin Tian, on the side, was frowning over how he could break off the engagement.
Seeing Yin Tian frown, for some reason, Su Qinwei felt displeased in her heart, then she spoke, "Grandfather, I don't want to marry just anyone casually!"
"That is a matchmaker's decree! It was decided upon since you were little, do you want to anger me to death?!" Old Mr. Su coughed as he spoke.
Seeing Yin Tian unmoved, Old Mr. Su spoke again, "Back then, your master and I were sworn brothers! Today, you will stay with our Su Family!"
"Grandfather!" Su Qinwei raised her head, she didn't understand why Grandfather valued Yin Tian so much.
"Qinwei! If you don't want Grandfather to die of anger, then shut your mouth!" Old Mr. Su's beard trembled with fury.
Su Qinwei lowered her head and said no more.
Having said his piece, Old Mr. Su's eyes pleading somewhat as he looked at Yin Tian, "I know young people have their own plans, but this was an agreement I made with your master. How about setting a one month period? Exchange contact information, try to develop feelings for each other. If by then you have taken a liking to Qinwei, the two of you can be together. If you don't like Qinwei, then it's our family's Qinwei who doesn't have this fortune..."
With Old Mr. Su having said as much, Yin Tian naturally found it hard to refuse and nodded.
"Good, good. Then you will stay with the Su Family and gradually exchange feelings."
Su Changhe was fuming on the side, his whiskers blowing and eyes glaring, but he still couldn't do anything and could only glower at Yin Tian.
"Qinwei, quickly, take Tian and find him a place to stay. Then, at tonight's gathering of the younger generation, bring Tian along for some fun," he ordered.
Su Qinwei instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Grandfather so upset, she reluctantly nodded.
She found a place for Yin Tian to stay within the Su Family residence.
Su Qinwei and Yin Tian looked at each other, both not knowing what to say.
"I'll call you for the gathering tonight," Su Qinwei looked at Yin Tian.
Yin Tian knew this was also Su Qinwei fulfilling the "task" given by Old Mr. Su.
He simply nodded, "Then tell me the address tonight, I have other things to take care of outside."
Having said that, he walked straight out of the Su Family home.
The first attempt at breaking off an engagement had failed, leaving Yin Tian feeling somewhat displeased.
He glanced at the marriage contract, went out the door, hailed a taxi, and headed for the Xia Family, the site of the second engagement.
Although the marriage contract's lackadaisical master had already said that the Xia Family was very wealthy, upon arriving at the Xia Family's home,
Yin Tian was still shocked.
The Xia Family's mansion, situated on a hill behind Su Hang, was unlike the Su Family's modest villas.
The entire complex of villas was stacked layer upon layer—it was clearly the residence of a major household!
The taxi driver parked the car there and asked Yin Tian curiously, "Brother, are you here to apply for a security guard position?"
Yin Tian: "..."
Ignoring the taxi driver, Yin Tian approached the entrance and said to the security guard, "I am a disciple of Immortal Master Qin, and I have business with the Xia Family."
Although the security guard looked at Yin Tian with a guarded expression, he still picked up the intercom to make an announcement.
Then, with a meaningful look, he led Yin Tian inside the villa.
Upon entering the mansion, Yin Tian was stunned once more.
Intricate carvings and painted rafters, small bridges over flowing water, scenes created every few steps, and covered walkways every several paces.
Not far away in the courtyard, a line of sports cars was parked.
Glancing over, Yin Tian saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis on display, and even a Bugatti Veyron.
"Indeed, the home of affluent people."
Just as they entered the inner courtyard, the security guard spoke up, "Mr. Xia, I've brought the person who was announced at the door."
As soon as the guard spoke, Yin Tian felt the entire courtyard fall suddenly silent.
Standing at the entrance was a middle-aged man who glanced at Yin Tian, "You are that... disciple of Immortal Master Qin?"
"I am," Yin Tian nodded.
"Dad, is he the one engaged to my sister from childhood? He seems rather shabby, doesn't he?" A young man with blond hair scoffed after looking at Yin Tian.
"With that look, he wants to marry my sister? Isn't that the same as a toad lusting after a swan's meat?"
Yin Tian looked at the young man, furrowed his brows, but said nothing.
"Hey, you dare to glare at me!" Xia Beihai raised his hand, pointing at Yin Tian.
"Beihai, this is a guest, be more polite," a woman said as she walked over from a distance.
The woman wore a light white bodycon dress, with her hair casually pulled up.
Her eyes were bright, exuding charm.
Although there was a smile on her oval-shaped face, one could still feel a distant and cold elegance radiating from her.
With one glance, Yin Tian knew that this was his betrothed, Xia Nianbing from the Xia Family.
A striking beauty!
If Su Qinwei was like the bright and youthful beauty, then Xia Nianbing was the cold, somewhat haughty mature beauty.
After a glance at Yin Tian, Xia Nianbing spoke with a face full of pride and indifference, "Esteemed disciple, please leave. I will not be with you, and that marriage contract will not be honored."
"Exactly, exactly! Our Xia Family has a large household and extensive business, how could you, a country bumpkin, ever hope to climb this high branch?" Xia Beihai spoke disdainfully.
The whole family wore looks of cold arrogance; none of them took a liking to Yin Tian.
