Thinking of this, the little bit of guilt that was left in Shen Ji Chen's heart disappeared.

"Mr. Jiang, between the engagement and the happiness of the children, I think the latter is more important. How can this promise or not be compared with the happiness of the children?"

Seeing that Mr. Jiang was silent with a gloomy face, he picked up the teacup beside him and said with a smile: "Or does Mr. Jiang think that the happiness of the children is far less important than a promise?"

Mr. Jiang lowered his eyes and said nothing. How could the promise be so important?

What he cares about is just this marriage. If the Shen family had not become powerful today, he would have been the one to say that promises were not important.

Shen Jichen glanced at him and smiled faintly, "Mr. Jiang, since you are silent, I will just assume that you agree with my opinion. In that case, let's stop here today. As for what happens in the future, it all depends on the fate of the children."

The words were clear enough, how could Mr. Jiang not hear it? Today's trip was in vain.

He originally thought that Shen Ji Chen would take Mr. Shen's face into consideration and would at least keep the engagement.

I didn't expect him to be so decisive and refused politely right away.

He snorted in his heart. Was it for the happiness of the child, or did he feel that his Shen family was now too powerful and the granddaughter of his Jiang family was not worthy of his Shen family?

But even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still said politely: "Ji Chen is right. In this case, we will see the fate of the children. If the two children are destined to be together, then we can't stop them, right?"

Didn't Shen Jichen say that it depends on the child's fate? In this case, he would take advantage of the situation. Everything depends on human effort. As long as he wants, even if there is no marriage contract, there will always be a way to let Zhizhi enter the Shen family.

Listening to what Mr. Jiang said, this was also his wish. In addition, he had said too many polite refusal today. If he continued to refuse at this time, I am afraid that both families would lose face.

As the saying goes, leave some room for others so that they can meet again in the future. He has been working in the business world for a long time, so how could he not understand this truth?

He laughed heartily and said, "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang stood up and said goodbye. Shen Ji Chen had no intention of keeping him, so he asked the butler to send him out.

At this time, Jiang Yan and his wife were jumping up and down in the Jiang family. Jiang Zhiyi was also not calm. According to her grandfather, the Shen family was very likely to break off the engagement.

What should she do if she breaks off the engagement?

The entire Lucheng knew about the engagement between the Jiang and Shen families, and this was also what she was most proud of.

Shen Yunzhou and she went to the same high school. Everyone knew that Shen Yunzhou was good-looking and a good student, and was recognized as the school's most handsome boy. There were many girls around him who liked him, but he never approached them easily.

But she is different, she and Shen Yunzhou are engaged, and because of this relationship, of course, there is also the affection of growing up together, Shen Yunzhou always treats her differently from others.

At least he wouldn't always reject her coldly. He would talk to her and accept her kindness.

Based on these alone, her relationship with Shen Yunzhou far exceeds that of a large number of girls in the school.

Whenever she felt their envious looks, she always felt proud.

But now, if she canceled the engagement with the Shen family, she didn't know whether Shen Yunzhou would still treat her the same way as before, and how her classmates would look at her. She couldn't stand such grievance.

She suddenly felt a little regretful now. Why did she drag her parents to the Shen family to seek justice yesterday? In the end, she not only failed to get justice, but her marriage might also be ruined.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyi's worried face, Murong Yin felt distressed and comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhizhi. The Shen family will never lose face for the old man. Maybe they can smoothly settle the matter between you and Yun Zhou this time."

Jiang Yan was confused, but seeing his daughter like this, he couldn't bear it and echoed Murong Yin's words, "Zhizhi, your mother is right. Although the Shen family is powerful now, they will not completely disregard the face of our Jiang family."

"Besides, don't you still believe in your grandfather's ability to get things done? Even if others can suffer losses, your grandfather will not suffer any losses at all."

But the facts proved that Jiang Yan still trusted Mr. Jiang too much.

When Mr. Jiang came back, his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. Jiang Yan and his wife looked at him and felt very disappointed.

Judging from his expression, I guess the talks today didn't go well.

Jiang Zhiyi was completely panicked. She could no longer sit still and hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what did Uncle Shen say?"

Old Master Jiang glanced at her and was about to get angry, but when the unpleasant words came to his lips, he suppressed them.

After all, the Jiang family loved and spoiled their granddaughter. Even if they were angry, they had already vented their anger yesterday.

He sighed and waved his hand, "Not good."

Hearing this, the expressions of the three people all changed. Jiang Yan spoke first, "Dad, but the Shen family wants to break off the engagement?"

Mr. Jiang walked to the sofa and sat down, then he spoke slowly, "I didn't say it explicitly, but from the way it sounded, it's probably true."

"Does the Shen family look down on our Jiang family now?" Murong Yin said.

"It's hard to say. Shen Jichen only said that it depends on the child's fate. If there is no fate, the marriage agreement made that year will not count."

"How can this be possible?" Murong Yin said anxiously, "The Shen family is a well-known family in Lucheng, but they can still say such things? Once a promise is made, how can there be any reason to regret it?"

Murong Yin spoke righteously, completely forgetting that when the Shen family was still a small family, didn't they take this marriage contract seriously?

Now that the Shen family intends to break the contract, they have stood up to complain.

"Whether the Shen family regrets it or not, this is already an established fact. No matter how much you say, it's useless."

After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Murong Yin felt a little frustrated. Could it be that Zhizhi's engagement with the Shen family was going to fall through?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard the old voice of Mr. Jiang, "But there is a way."

Upon hearing this, the three of them all showed signs of life. Murong Yin spoke first, "Dad, what else can we do? We'll listen to you!"
