Chapter 24 - 24 24 Breaking Off the Engagement

24: Chapter 24: Breaking Off the Engagement 24: Chapter 24: Breaking Off the Engagement Villa living room.

Lin Fei was led to the living room by Housekeeper Liang.

Master Yuan, who was on the sofa, stood up with a hearty laugh as soon as he saw Lin Fei: “Young Master Lin, you’ve finally come, hahaha, please, have a seat!”

Lin Fei did not expect Master Yuan to be such an open and amiable person, without any airs, giving off a very approachable vibe.

“Lin Fei greets Grandpa Yuan, how are you, Grandpa Yuan?” Lin Fei respectfully greeted Master Yuan.

“Good, good, good, no need to be so formal, Lin Fei.” Master Yuan was in a very good mood.

Once they were seated, Housekeeper Liang poured each of them a cup of tea, then withdrew.

“Lin Fei, it must have been a tiring journey for you.

Is your grandfather doing well?” Master Yuan asked warmly, engaging in small talk with Lin Fei.

Lin Fei nodded, “Grandpa Yuan, my grandfather is doing well.”

“Good, good.

Now that you’re here at the Yuan family, you should stay here and get to know my granddaughter, Yuxi, better,” Master Yuan said with a smile, already seeing him as a grandson-in-law.

Lin Fei quickly said, “Grandpa Yuan, that won’t be necessary.

I already have a place to stay, and I’m here to discuss something with you.”

Master Yuan nodded, “Lin Fei, whatever it is, if the Yuan family can assist, we certainly will.”

Lin Fei thought to himself: But what I’m here to discuss is calling off the engagement.

Will Master Yuan agree to that?

Even though Lin Fei knew bringing up the cancellation of the engagement would be awkward for Master Yuan, he still said it: “Grandpa Yuan, I’m actually here to call off the engagement.”

Master Yuan had been waiting eagerly to hear what Lin Fei wanted to discuss when he suddenly heard Lin Fei mention calling it off, and his smile froze in utter shock: “Call it off?”

At the same time, Yuan Weiting, who had just arrived outside the living room door, also stopped in his tracks with disbelief written all over his face: Calling off the engagement?

Didn’t Grandpa say someone was coming to finalize the engagement?

How did it turn into calling it off?

He was full of doubts and didn’t immediately enter the living room, instead standing outside eavesdropping.

Lin Fei had anticipated that Master Yuan would be very surprised.

He nodded to Master Yuan and said apologetically, “Grandpa Yuan, I’m sorry!”

Master Yuan finally managed to regain his composure, then asked Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, why do you want to call off the engagement?

Is it because you already have someone you like?”

Lin Fei shook his head and said, “No, I don’t have anyone I like.”

Though he had deep feelings for his senior sister with whom he grew up, he still hadn’t figured out whether his senior sister had any feelings for him.

Thinking that at this moment, his senior sister was still in the East Asian Country with Dongzheng Yixiong, he felt a pang of sadness.

“Since you don’t have a girl you like, then why call off the engagement?” Master Yuan asked in confusion.

Lin Fei said, “I’m still young and don’t wish to get married yet.

I want to focus on my career.

Sorry, Grandpa Yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan’s expression relaxed.

So Lin Fei’s intent to call off the engagement wasn’t because he’s found someone else or because he disrespects Yuxi, but because he’s focused on his career.

This indicates that Lin Fei is an ambitious young man.

Master Yuan smiled and said, “Lin Fei, it’s good that you want to focus on your career.

Young people should be brave and ambitious.

Originally, I was worried you were eager to get married, fearing it might affect my granddaughter Yuxi’s studies.

But now, it seems better to wait until after Yuxi graduates to get married.

Yuxi is only in her first year of college, with three more years until graduation.

During these three years, if you want to build your career and need money or people, as long as the Yuan family has it, don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll agree to it.”

Lin Fei was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Master Yuan to view his calling off the engagement as career-focused and decide to postpone the engagement while also offering financial and other support to help him succeed.

This…

“Grandpa Yuan, I mean that after calling off the engagement, I don’t intend to get engaged again.” Lin Fei felt he had to clarify to Master Yuan once more.

Master Yuan, however, laughed and said, “Lin Fei, don’t be in such a hurry to call it off.

You might find my granddaughter Yuxi to be very suitable for you once you meet.

Besides, there are three years ahead, in which you can get to know each other well.”

“But…” Lin Fei momentarily didn’t know what to say.

“Old Liang!” Master Yuan called out toward the living room door.

Yuan Weiting, who was standing outside, walked into the living room and said to Master Yuan, “Grandpa, Housekeeper Liang had some matters to attend to.”

“Weiting, you’re just in time.

Quick, go get your sister to meet Lin Fei,” Master Yuan said.

Yuan Weiting, however, did not move and said, “Grandpa, the young lady of the Chen family called Yuxi earlier, saying there was something urgent, so she just went to the Chen family.”

“Nonsense!

Call her back immediately,” Master Yuan urged Yuan Weiting.

“Grandpa, she left in a hurry and didn’t take her phone,” Yuan Weiting said.

“Then call the Chen family,” responded Master Yuan.

“Grandpa, have you forgotten you have no dealings with Elder Chen?” Yuan Weiting reminded him.

Master Yuan seemed suddenly to remember something, and instantly, his face showed anger as he said, “You reminded me, indeed, Old Man Chen is someone I, Yuan Hong, will never associate with in this lifetime.”

Thus, with an apologetic face, Master Yuan said to Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, I’m really sorry, my granddaughter had to leave for an urgent matter, so she cannot meet you today.

I will make sure she comes back to apologize to you tonight.”

Seeing this, Lin Fei had guessed the situation: Evidently, Master Yuan’s granddaughter, like himself, didn’t want to finalize the engagement and used an excuse to leave first.

Moreover, from Yuan Weiting’s words, it was clear he was covering for his sister, indicating that the siblings had already planned this act.

Lin Fei felt a sense of relief; since the young lady of the Yuan family didn’t want the engagement either, things were much simpler.

So, with a smile, Lin Fei said to Master Yuan, “Grandpa Yuan, it doesn’t matter.

Since Miss Yuan isn’t here, there’s no rush to meet her.

I have things to attend to, so I will take my leave.”

Master Yuan, however, called after him, “Lin Fei, don’t be in such a rush to leave.

Since you’re at the Yuan family, why not stay a while?

Your grandfather, Medical Saint Lin, is my lifesaver, and you are his grandson, so I must treat you well.”

“There’s no need, Grandpa Yuan, I really have matters to attend to.

Perhaps I will visit you next time,” Lin Fei said.

Master Yuan tried several times to persuade him to stay, but seeing Lin Fei insisted on leaving, he had no choice but to say, “Lin Fei, if you really must go, then I won’t keep you.

But remember, if you need anything, come to me.”

Lin Fei said, “Rest assured, Grandpa Yuan, I will visit again.”

Master Yuan then looked at Yuan Weiting and instructed, “Weiting, see Lin Fei out.”

“Yes, Grandpa,” Yuan Weiting replied.

Leaving the living room, they walked out of the villa.

Yuan Weiting led the way in front, with Lin Fei following behind.

Outside the villa, the trees were lush and verdant.

As they reached a patch of grass, Yuan Weiting suddenly stopped ahead.

At this point, Lin Fei noticed that this didn’t seem to be the path he had come by, and there was no one around, making it silent.

He couldn’t help but think: Could it be that Yuan Weiting intentionally led me here?

Looking at Yuan Weiting, Lin Fei asked, “Young Master Yuan, isn’t this the way out of the mansion?”

Yuan Weiting turned around, crossing his arms with a teasing look in his eyes, “Of course, it’s not!

I brought you here on purpose.”

Lin Fei was puzzled, “Young Master Yuan, do you have something to discuss with me?”

“That’s right!

You dare to call off my sister’s engagement, which means you look down on my sister.

You don’t respect her; do you think I, as her brother, would be happy?” Yuan Weiting said with a fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Fei nodded, “I see.

You feel that my calling off the engagement is embarrassing for you, so you’re saying I can’t cancel it and must become engaged to your sister?”
