Chapter 495 On One's Mind

"What's wrong with this guy?" Chen Xi asked, puzzled, "Why not just marry someone of a similar social standing?"

After speaking, Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang. This man had a wife but had yet to take her as his wife, akin to how Zhuge Liang's sister married Pang Tong's elder brother. Similarly, Zhuge Liang himself would marry Huang Chengyan's daughter. The matrimonial connections between prominent families were already arranged, just as Chen Xi himself is supposed to marry Fan Jian.

"It's not that simple, the marriage agreed upon in childhood cannot be consummated now." Fa Zheng said with a bitter smile, "It's not a big deal for me, but it's tough on my dad."

"Which family do you speak of, so foolish as to be incomprehensible?" Chen Xi was taken aback. Such a family actually dared to break an engagement, they're really throwing all face out the window. Back when his family had fallen on hard times and he himself was a sickly ghost, Fan Liang never said she wouldn't marry Fan Jian.
