"Foolish girl..." Gu Fenghua said tenderly as she held her hand, "You and Lingzhi are both my children, and I want you both to be all right. Lingzhi does indeed love you very much, but his love is too obsessive. More importantly, you don't love him, which is something that just can't be forced..."
"But under the current circumstances, I can't go back on my word," Nan Zhifeng sighed, "You know how my brother is. If I were to call off the wedding now, he would lose his mind. Who knows what he might do then, throwing the world into chaos. We simply can't endure that kind of turmoil anymore."
"Don't worry as long as I'm here," Gu Fenghua patted her hand.
"That's not it..." Nan Zhifeng shook her head, "In the past, you could keep my brother in line because he didn't hold any real power and couldn't defy you. But now it's different, my brother has changed..."
"What has he done to you?"
Gu Fenghua immediately picked up on the heart of the matter.
