Chapter 297


    Tang Sisi''s face suddenly became hot, and her slender neck was flushed.


    She stomped her feet and groaned, "Feng, Dad! You guys, what are you talking about? I don''t have


    that sort of intention. We''ve only known each other for a few days-"


    Her heartbeat was speeding up, her heart banging loudly in her chest non-stop. She could only


    discern that when she was with Chu Feng, there was always a feeling of safety and happiness. It


    seemed as if he had some sort of mystifying power that attracted her deeply.


    Tang Sisi did not know how to exin thatplicated emotion.


    Tang Weiguoughed out loud. His gaze was lively, and he was filled with a sense of relief. "Sisi,


    such feelings aren''t something you can time. Some people will fall in love at first sight and stay


    together for life. And some people, even if they share the same bed for decades, remain only as


    bedfellows."


    "You need to take the initiative in these sorts of things. If you really have feelings for Chu Feng, then


    I will humble myself and discuss it with him in your stead, and prepare a generous dowry for you.


    How does that sound?"


    The light in Tang Sisi''s eyes flickered for a while before she lowered her head. She looked a little


    forlorn and helpless.


    She sighed faintly. "Dad, there''s no need for that. Chu Feng is already married, and his daughter is


    already four or five years old."


    The atmosphere of the scene became awkward, and Tang Weiguo also shook his head emotionally.


    "Oh, since that''s the case... Then, that''s a pity. Both of you just weren''t destined for each other."


    Although the Tang family had great power and presence in Jiangling, they would never deliberately


    destroy marriages and break up families.


    Tang Sisi blushed unwittingly, her eyes turning red. A sense of sadness and loneliness washed over


    her.


    At that moment, Tang Li smiled yfully and said out loud, "Dad, even if Chu Feng is single, I''m


    afraid he won''t be able to be the son-inw of our Tang family."


    "Sisi," he continued, "you must have forgotten your marriage agreement with the Fang family in


    Jiangbei."


    The Fang family of Jiangbei.


    Those words had the weight of a mountain, with the pressure it brought to the Tang family. They


    could scarcely breathe just thinking of them. Even Tang Weiguo clenched his fists, his expression


    souring.


    Two years ago, at a banquet, the young master of the Fang family met Tang Sisi and was amazed


    by her beauty. Then and there, he vowed that he would not marry anyone else except her.


    Subsequently, the head of the Fang family personally sent the Tang family betrothal gifts, set the


    marriage, and announced to the public that Tang Sisi was already the daughter-inw of the Fang


    family. Whoever dared to covet her would have to bear the anger of the Fang family.


    Their tyrannical behavior was equivalent to snatching Tang Sisi away and forcing her to marry.


    Though the Tang family was the most influential family in Jiangling, when faced with the weight of


    the Fang family, they were still a little powerless and could not afford to fight back at all.


    The Fang family was Jiangbei''s top-tier affluent n, with assets more than ten times that of the


    Tang family. Its influence and status wereparable to those of the Yanjing family.


    The head of the Fang family was one of the six presidents of the Martial Arts Alliance, but even so,


    he was even more well-known in the army. He was a three-star general who had attained the


    highest military honor, the Dragon Ring, and was nicknamed "Half-Lord Fang."


    The nickname alluded to the fact that he could easily lord over half of Jiangbei all by himself.

    And it was less than a month until the Fang family nned to wee Tang Sisi into their home.


    Tang Sisi chewed on her ruby lips. She stubbornly cried, "Dad, I don''t want to marry!"


    "Absurd! You''re simply being absurd!" Tang Li eximed coldly.


    Tang Weiguo did not even have the chance to speak, and yet Tang Li continued to use Tang


    Sisi, "Marriage is a thing for your parents to arrange. When has it ever fallen to you to decide? This


    marriage was personally set by the head of the Fang family. Do you dare refuse them? Aren''t you


    afraid of implicating the entire Tang family? You''ll be the sinner of the Tang family, Tang Sisi, if you


    allow the entire Tang family to be ruined because of your stubbornness."


    Tang Sisi raised her head and argued as rationally as she could, "If the fate of a family needs to be


    maintained by sacrificing a woman''s lifelong happiness, then what''s the point of such a family? It


    might as well be destroyed right now."


    "Li," she continued, "I am also human, and not a victim to your interests. I have the grounds to live


    for myself, and I also have the grounds to make my own choices."


    Chu Feng''s resolute expression appeared in Tang Sisi''s mind, and the story of his mother echoed in


    her head. "That is what Chu Feng told me."


    Tang Li sneered sarcastically. "Chu Feng? What is he? He is just an ordinary person who has some


    medical skills. He has no power and no background. He''s an inexperienced boy who won''t ever


    have the chance to grace the presence of a wealthy family, and you actually chose to listen to him?


    Tang Sisi, do you have a brain at all?"
