Chapter 1324 - 1323: Concealing One’s Abilities
"That marriage contract is no longer a simply matter between the children of Su Zhan and Ye Jiansheng." Yuan Tiangang shook his head, "It was proposed by the incumbent Patriarch of the Su Family himself, as Su Zhan’s son became mentally disabled, and so the contract is to be transferred to his nephew."
Su Yang furrowed his brows: "How could the Su Family Head do something like this?"
"Heh..." Yuan Tiangang let out a cold laugh, "When Su Zhan’s son turned into a fool, Ye Jiansheng did not call off the engagement. It was him who wanted to end it. Why do you think he did that?"
Su Yang pondered for a moment before speaking in a grave tone: "Are you suggesting that this Patriarch of the Su Family has a guilty conscience?"
"In the over ten years since Su Zhan’s disappearance, his son has never left the Su Family of Yanbei even for a step." Yuan Tiangang said, "Even to his own aunt, the Black Widow, he has not made a single visit."
Su Yang’s brows tightened, and he finally understood the implications.
By keeping Su Zhan’s son within the Su Family of Yanbei, the Su Family Head could maintain control over him. After all, this is Su Zhan’s son. Even as a fool, his status is evident.
The reason he cancelled the marriage with the Ye Family is simple; if he hadn’t cancelled it, Su Zhan’s son would have married Ye Wantong. Once they married, regardless of the customs, Su Zhan’s son would have to visit the Ye Family.
Once Su Zhan’s son leaves the Su Family of Yanbei, that would mean the Su Family Head would lose control over him. The Su Family Head could not allow such a thing to happen, which is why he cancelled the marriage contract.
