"Qin Chuan, thank you!"
In the small garden, Xiao Mengyi was full of gratitude.
Then, with her brows tightly knit, she expressed her immense concern, "Long Family Steward is deeply trusted by my grandfather. Now that you've broken his hand, my grandfather certainly won't let you off easily."
Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "Are you saying that, in your grandfather's eyes, his own granddaughter is not as important as a steward?"
Xiao Mengyi's face was filled with bitterness, and after a silence that lasted a while, she slowly said, "In the Xiao Family, I'm nothing but a sacrificial piece for the sake of interest exchange."
Seeing the disheartened woman in front of him, Qin Chuan felt a twinge of heartache.
"I underestimated the Xiao Family's determination to form an alliance with the Chen Family through marriage."
Xiao Mengyi suddenly remembered something, and with an apologetic look, she raised her head and said, "Qin Chuan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you into this."
