I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

Ji Yutang was shocked by Zhou Shijin's reckless behavior.

She never expected that the other party would offer to help her break off the engagement right away. Wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire?

As for Ji Wuchang, he absolutely could not accept the other party's offer to annul the engagement.

He is a traditional man who values ​​promises more than life itself.

Since they had made a marriage promise, even if his daughter died, he still had to give her memorial tablet to Chow Tai Fook.

Even though the other party spoke so negatively about his son, Ji Wuchang did not even entertain the slightest thought of breaking off the engagement.

Moreover, now that he has seen Zhou Shijin in person, he is very satisfied. This is a hundred times better than his own unfilial son.

How could I let go of the half son I finally got?

"No! Absolutely not!"

Ji Wuchang seemed afraid that the duck he had almost caught would fly away, so he grabbed Zhou Shijin's arm.

"Good son-in-law, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Brother Zhou saved my life back then, and our two families had already arranged a marriage. How can you just back out like that?

Aren't you slapping my uncle in the face and putting me in an unjust position?

Upon hearing this, Ji Yutang, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something.

She instantly looked at Zhou Shijin, her face seemingly covered with a layer of frost.

Seemingly sensing something, Zhou Shijin suddenly turned his head, just in time to meet the other party's cold and distant gaze.

For some reason, he felt surprisingly calm at this moment.

"Sister Tangtang, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I only found out about our engagement a week ago."

I also had a filthy thought: I wanted to pretend I knew nothing.

Even when you suggested that I be your shield, I felt incredibly relieved.

I figured this would give us more opportunities to spend time together and gradually develop our relationship.

At this point, Zhou Shijin couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

"Later I realized that cherishing someone is not about selfish possession, but about choosing to fulfill their needs."

My love, which cannot be openly expressed, should not be a sail to help you sail far away, nor should it be an anchor to keep you by my side.

Although I am not mature enough, I can still tell that you yearn for freedom.

If letting go brings you closer to the sunlight, I'm willing to be the silver one who quietly moves away from the shadow.

After saying that, he no longer looked at Ji Yutang, but instead focused his gaze on Ji Wuchang.

"Uncle Ji, my husband often talks about your good character, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

However, you shouldn't repay a debt of gratitude by sacrificing your own daughter's happiness.

As times progress and society develops, there are many more ways to repay kindness.

I'm not nitpicking because I'm trying to find fault with you, but because I feel it's unfair to Tangtang.

Given Ji Wuchang's eccentric temper, if anyone else had said that to him, he would have slapped them across the face long ago.

However, these words came from the son of his benefactor, and instead of being angry, he fell into deep thought.

His upbringing and the environment he grew up in shaped his unique style of doing things.

No matter how outstanding his daughter's achievements have been over the years, he still loves his son more.

But what was the result? Her daughter became estranged from her, and her rebellious son proved to be utterly useless.

Especially compared to the young people in front of him, calling that unfilial son a lump of mud would be an understatement.

Did I really do something wrong?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became very subtle.

After a long while, Ji Wuchang slowly raised his head.

He glanced at his daughter, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, and then at Zhou Shijin, whose face was full of sincerity.

"Good boy, are you sure you want to call off the engagement? Actually... my Yutang is quite outstanding."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yutang suddenly raised her head, staring at her father with disbelief.

This was the first time she had heard her father praise her since her mother passed away.

Unexpectedly, it was under such circumstances!

Zhou Shijin nodded: "Uncle, I'm sure!"

I know that Sister Tangtang is very outstanding, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with her at first sight.

To be honest, this is the first time in my life I've ever cherished a girl this much.

But feelings are something you can't force; you can't have them forced!

Upon hearing his words, Ji Wuchang unconsciously tightened his grip on Zhou Shijin's arm.

"Shi Jin, forced love is never sweet, but it quenches thirst!"

Feelings can be cultivated over time. When I married Yu Tang's mother, it was the first time we had met.

I didn't like him at first, but after getting to know him in real life, I unknowingly fell in love with him.

"If she hadn't left us so early, we would probably be a very loving couple now."

Zhou Shijin shook his head: "Uncle, times have changed."

Divorce was rare in your time, but it's become commonplace now.

Sister Tangtang is a person with thoughts and flesh and blood, not a cold, lifeless object.

My decision to break off the engagement wasn't because I didn't care, but because I respected her from the bottom of my heart.

Some loves are like dandelions; letting them fly is the greatest respect you can show to their lives.

Upon hearing Zhou Shijin's words, Ji Wuchang was clearly taken aback.

"You...don't regret it?"

"You won't regret your choice!"

After a long silence, he slowly released the hand that had been gripping Zhou Shijin's arm.

"Sigh... Fine, since you've both made your decisions, I respect your choice."

Otherwise, repaying a debt of gratitude will turn into making an enemy.

But remember, child, my life was saved by your adoptive father. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask me.

Even if they want my Ji family's assets, I will never refuse.

As long as I, Ji Wuchang, live, this promise will remain valid.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin hurriedly waved his hand: "Oh my god, Uncle, what are you saying?"

Old Deng was able to save you; that's fate between our two families. There's no need to talk about gratitude or grudges. You're being too kind!

"Rest assured, even if the engagement is called off, the friendship between our two families will remain unchanged."

Ji Wuchang stared at him for a long time before finally nodding:

"Sigh... that's the only way. Let's call off this marriage then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and patted Zhou Shijin on the shoulder.

Afterwards, she leaned against the sofa, looking dejected, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Zhou Shijin had a sudden inspiration, and an absurd idea popped into his mind.

Now all the family's affairs are on his eldest brother's shoulders, and he really feels sorry for him.

Although he had decided to follow in his father's footsteps and continue to live off his parents, he couldn't just do nothing.

If we can take this opportunity to further our relationship with the Ji family, wouldn't that provide us with more security in the future?

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in Zhou Shijin's eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Uncle Ji, I've only heard Lao Deng say that you are an upright person with an open mind."

Meeting you today, I feel an instant connection with you.

If you don't mind, I'd like to recognize you as my godfather.

"After you're gone, I'll make sure you handle the matter of smashing the pot perfectly!"
