Jinnan pulled her hand into his palm and shook his head smilingly.
"That's good." With a bit of schadenfreude, Xia Zhi asked, "Did Grandpa hit him? Was it severe?"
Jinnan whispered, "I didn't see it happen; after Grandpa scolded him in the study, he went to the Qiao Family to apologize."
"Considering what happened, can they still become in-laws with the Qiao Family?" Xia Zhi was astonished, "If the Qiao Family forgives Jinhong, wouldn't that be pushing An Ruo into the fire pit?"
Jinnan replied, "I don't know about that. But calling off the engagement wouldn't be easy either. Grandpa chose the Qiao Family initially because of deep affection and ties, and the Qiao Family can't just ignore Grandpa's influence."
After hearing this, Xia Zhi uttered an "oh," realizing the mutual interests that had to be considered.
"You shouldn't worry too much about this matter," Jinnan said, noticing her contemplative look and making a playful comment.
