Old Mrs. Chu’s face grew long instantly, her tone tinged with displeasure. "Old sister, what are you implying? Are you saying this marriage alliance will actually be called off?"
"No, no, don’t call it off, Grandma! I don’t want it to be called off!" Chu Tingting immediately burst into tears once again.
Mrs. Huo’s expression turned troubled as she sighed. "I am, of course, very satisfied with this marriage alliance. However, my Yan Ting is very focused on his career. For him to sacrifice himself to contribute to the family business right now is indeed understandable."
