Chapter 647: Must Not Affect the Relationship Between the Two Families (2 Updates)
"An engagement is a major event, and once decided, you can’t go back on your word. If you haven’t thought it through, Sister Niannian would rather you hadn’t gotten engaged in the first place than see you regret it afterward,"
"Getting engaged isn’t like dating someone, you know. If you get engaged and don’t end up getting married, you’ll carry that reputation for your whole life. Besides, it would make it difficult for the two families to get along. Grandfather and Brother Ruiyang’s grandfather are close friends. We can’t let the younger generation’s affairs create a rift between the elders, so you must think this through."
If this had happened in the era Xu Niannian used to live in, she wouldn’t have said such a thing.
But now the times are different, and so are people’s ideas.
In this day and age, an engagement is a serious matter, almost set in stone once it’s made.
And since the two families are now related by marriage, backing out of an engagement would indeed have a significant impact on their relationship.
Xu Sisi blinked, suddenly feeling lost, "But I haven’t decided if I want to marry Brother Ruiyang yet!"
She had planned to give a serious try with Jin Ruiyang, but she hadn’t thought about marriage yet.
The engagement was like being pushed onto a podium; she had no choice but to accept it, especially after discovering that she didn’t dislike Brother Ruiyang, which is why she didn’t oppose it.
Now, listening to Xu Niannian say this, Xu Sisi fell silent.
