"Wei Jinglou had a special fate..."
"The young lady of the Dragon Family, who runs the Coffin Shop, took a fancy to him and wants to marry him into the family..."
Huh?
The moment Xiao Qi opened his mouth, Jiang Qiao cursed inwardly. Fuck.
What kind of act was this supposed to be?
Had the broken-engagement story turned into a son-in-law story?
Jiang Qiao glanced at Wei Jinglou beside him and found him looking just as bewildered. Then he looked at Wei Jinglou's mouth. It didn't seem crooked either.
Xiao Qi cast a fearful glance at Jiang Qiao.

"I naturally won't pester her. At worst, I'll call off the engagement."
"From beginning to end,"

"That's utter nonsense."
He was furious. "No matter how badly my Wei Family has declined, we'd never stoop to sending someone to be a live-in son-in-law. My father would never agree to it. You dog, stop spreading rumors here."

They had no bite at all.
Jiang Qiao found it quite amusing.
Still, he could understand Wei Jinglou's anger.
