Jiang Zishi clenched his fists and asked in astonishment,
"How is that possible?"
"My brother came, and he left without even seeing me?"
"He heard about my engagement, such a major life event?"
"If he heard about it, why didn't he make time to attend?"
"I specifically scheduled it for after the autumn harvest…"
He turned the embarrassment of being slighted into a display of grievance.
A fine, outstanding man was suddenly painted as someone who neglected his family and was indifferent to them, while he cast himself as the poor, pitiful younger brother who idolized him!
Chi Yun'er tilted her head. "Brother Hua spoke with me for a bit and even gave me some nourishing food. He was in a hurry to get back to work, so he asked me to let you know."
"If I had known you would react so strongly, Zishi, I would have insisted that Brother Hua stay, no matter what."
