"Breaking off the engagement? Are you serious?"
The Pei family mansion.
Pei's father furrowed his brows, sighing deeply.
His voice, sharp as a thorn, pierced vehemently towards the Zhou Family's steward on the other end of the phone.
A respectful voice quickly came through from the other side of the receiver.
"Yes, this is our Chairman Zhou's intention."
The Zhou Family wanted to cancel the marriage between Zhou Ci and Wen Mian.
Wouldn't that prove that all of Pei's father's clever schemes had come to naught?
The man let out a cold laugh, his previously pleasant expression disappearing instantly.
"Are you sure? If this marriage is called off, our Pei family won't just let go of the benefits we've received."
At the time the marriage agreement was made, the Zhou Family had given a substantial dowry.
Pei's father had always been shrewd in his calculations.
Even if the marriage were called off, the money wouldn't leave Pei's father's hands.
