When Su Jinxiu saw that her grandfather had agreed to her marriage, glistening tears welled in her eyes! It was as though she had felt his kindness for the first time! Overcome with emotion, she said:

Jiang Shengkui looked at the perfectly matched couple before him, his heart filled with joy!
He had agreed to their marriage because he knew full well that Su Jinxiu and the Jiang Household stood to gain the most from their union.
