"Brother, maybe things aren't the way you think..."
Qin Yiren softly tried to explain, but her elder brother cut her off before she could finish: "Silly girl, I know you like Chu Xinian, but if that boy dares to take advantage of your feelings to act recklessly, I must teach him a lesson he'll never forget. Don't try to stop me!"
"It's really not like that. Not long ago, Chu Xinian even took me to his home, saying he wanted to..."
The word "marry" lingered on the tip of her tongue but remained unsaid. Qin Yiren hesitated, thought about it sadly, and eventually swallowed the words back down.
From the way Chu Xinian's parents were so domineering, it was clear that there were significant issues in the collaboration between the two families. As long as the problem remained unresolved, her marriage to Chu Xinian would never be approved.
If it could never be resolved, then what... what should she do?
