Lu Qiongqi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. From Zhou Ceyan's direction, he could see her soft and white neck curved in a beautiful arc.

The profile is peaceful and well-behaved.

She still looks like a pure, innocent and ignorant girl.

Zhou Ceyan said calmly: "Grandma, you can't rush this matter. Marriage can't be rushed. I can't just find someone to marry and then ruin the girl's life. You are also an experienced person, you know what it feels like to be a widow."

His voice was solemn, and every word he said was filled with his serious attitude towards marriage and relationships.

But Zhou Ceyan’s words were a little harsh, which made the old lady’s heart tremble.

Yes, living a widow's life.

Her husband died early, which gave her half a life of joy and also half a life of loneliness.

The old lady couldn't help but think of the suffering she had experienced in the past.

Lu Qiongqi felt that the old lady was a little depressed, so she turned her head and said softly, "Grandma, although fate is determined by heaven, we also need to work hard to find and grasp it. I will help you keep an eye out to see if there are any girls around him who are suitable for him."

Bai Zhulan finally calmed down and nodded with satisfaction: "You are still sensible, much better than that naughty monkey in my family."

Zhou Ceyan’s eyes darkened.

He didn't take to heart what the old lady said just now, but when the little girl said this, his brows turned cold.

Help him find one?

Zhou Ceyan picked up the jade cup on the table with his slender fingers and turned it unconsciously. His eyes were scattered on the table, making it impossible for others to see the emotions in his eyes.

Bai Zhulan took Lu Qiongqi's hand and asked her to sit next to her.

His voice became much gentler: "Come, sit here with me, girl. Are there any other girls around you who are similar to you? Who are as well-behaved and sensible as you are?"

Lu Qiongqi understood what the old lady meant. She thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true.

She nodded.

Seeing her reaction, the old lady perked up again: "Girl, tell me quickly, what does the girl look like? What's her temper like? Whose family is she from?"

At this moment, Lu Qiongqi made a bold decision.

She wants to add bricks and tiles to the love fortress of her brother and sister-in-law!

Lu Qiongqi said sincerely: "Grandma, if I can find someone who is a perfect match for your grandson."

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded eagerly: "Okay, okay."

Lu Qiongqi continued, "Can my eldest brother's engagement with the Zhou family be cancelled?"

In a word.

She succeeded in making the Zhou family remain silent for her.

Within this minute, Bai Zhulan's eyes changed instantly. The original gentle light quietly extinguished, and was replaced by a frosty and sharp look, as if a storm was about to come.

Rong Yumo saw her grandmother's face change. She looked at Lu Qiongqi with fear and wanted her to come to her side.

However, Lu Qiongqi still looked at Old Lady Zhou with a smile on her face, her eyes firm and calm.

Don't give in at all.

Zhou Ceyan's eyes were dark, as if carrying an undercurrent of rapids. The old lady was really angry this time. The scolding just now was just superficial.

This girl is quite capable.

Facing Madam Zhou's anger and intimidation, Lu Qiongqi spoke firmly.

"Grandma, you know in your heart that my eldest brother and Zhou Chengwei have no feelings for each other. Why would two people who don't love each other insist on being together?"

She continued, "Even if it's for the future of the family, a business marriage, or a strong alliance, you can't erase people's feelings. That's your lifelong partner. How can you only consider the benefits and not the feelings?"

Lu Qiongqi's voice softened: "Grandma, you must have had a very good relationship with your deceased grandfather. You should be able to understand what I am saying."

Mrs. Zhou's expression did not soften at all because of her words; her wrinkles seemed to converge into ravines, making her look even more stern.

"You little girl, you want to represent the Lu family with just a few words? Did Lu Zhanyan ask you to cancel the engagement?"

"No."

Old Mrs. Zhou showed her attitude as the head of the household and she refused to back down.

"The Zhou and Lu families have an engagement and will be engaged at the end of the month. If you cancel the engagement now, how will others view our Zhou family's reputation and talk about our Cheng Wei? Where do you put the Zhou family? People should be responsible for what they say and do. If you want to cancel the engagement, ask your father Lu Fengkai to come to your house to discuss it."

Lu Qiongqi asked: "Why can't you cancel the engagement? Do you think it's worth sacrificing Zhou Chengwei's lifelong happiness?"

Zhou Chengwei, the person involved, frowned when Lu Qiongqi said the word "break off the engagement".

The engagement between the Zhou and Lu families was arranged by her parents a long time ago. When she was a teenager, she knew that she had a handsome and excellent fiancé.

Although Lu Zhanyan was a little cold towards her, in her opinion, the most important thing was that the husband and wife respected each other. In a family like theirs, the last thing they valued in marriage was feelings.

Moreover, the Zhou family has declined in recent years. As the eldest sister, she has a greater responsibility to support the family. Marriage with the Lu family will bring far more benefits than disadvantages to her.

But the little girl mentioned her happiness...

Zhou Chengwei looked gloomy, and her delicate makeup could not hide the hatred on her face. Her happiness had been destroyed on that day.

The old lady's expression was gloomy, as if she had a heart of stone.

"Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a joke?"

Among these people, how many can get married and have children according to their own wishes?

Even Bai Zhulan herself was only together with Zhou Junheng with the help of the leader, but they were very lucky. They loved each other after marriage and their feelings gradually deepened.

Rong Yumo felt complicated, and she agreed with Qiqi's words.

What's the point of sacrificing marriage for fame and fortune? But she is now in the Zhou family. She grew up with the help of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has protected her.

From the Zhou family's perspective, they couldn't speak for her.

Lu Qiongqi opened her mouth again, wanting to argue with Old Madam Zhou: "I don't understand..."

"Qiqi."

She was stopped by someone, accompanied by the sound of steady footsteps and voices.

The man who came was wearing a dark suit with straight trouser lines. He was meticulously groomed from head to toe and had a strong aura.

But he said, "Qiqi, this engagement cannot be cancelled."

Lu Qiongqi never expected that Lu Zhanyan would be the one who resolutely stopped him.

She was deflated all of a sudden.

It's like a soldier who fought for his country, only to turn around and find...

The home was robbed.

She was like a poor creature whose family had been torn apart. Her mood instantly plummeted from high to low, and her expression became listless.

Seeing the little girl pouting and looking unhappy, Zhou Ceyan said calmly: "Don't blame Qiqi, it's because grandma's expression was too stern, which scared her. She felt that the Zhou family was difficult to get along with, so she wanted to help you break off the engagement."

is that so???

Bai Anan suspected that her brain was really broken. Why couldn't she understand what Lu Qiongqi meant?

She interrupted: "Lu Qiongqi just now..."

Zhou Ce looked at her with a half-smile: "What is it?"

In the Zhou family, Bai Anan is most afraid of her father, followed by her cousin, who is an officer and is unfathomable.

She stammered, "Yes, that's what you said."

Then, she saw Zhou Ceyan leaning slightly next to Lu Qiongqi's ear, with a gentle look and a coaxing tone.

"Don't be afraid, Qiqi."
