The Favored Heiress

Shang Yu looked at Shang Zonghai with a seriousness, his right leg bent and resting on his left knee, "Speaking of status, what was the deal with the marriage contract between her and Shang Lu?"

Shang Zonghai, standing with his hands behind his back, rolled the black Buddha Beads on his wrist and glanced at Shang Yu, "Why do you ask?"

"Don’t tell me the marriage contract was signed with Li Guangming." Shang Yu said, half smiling yet bluntly straightforward.

Anyone could see from the scene of the engagement being called off that Li Guangming’s attitude towards Shang Zonghai was excessively humble and restrained.

That wasn’t the demeanor expected of potential in-laws.

At this, Shang Zonghai fell silent for a while before turning to look at the stream beneath the arch bridge, "The marriage contract was naturally signed with her father."

Shang Yu looked down and curved the corners of his lips, taking out a cigarette case from his pocket and fiddling with it in his hand, "No matter who you signed with, the name on that marriage contract should be changed to mine now."

"Have you thought this through?" Shang Zonghai asked him surprisingly, his eyes filled with a gloomy light.

Shang Yu took out a cigarette from the case, flipping it between his fingers, his voice deep and steady, "No need to think, she can only be mine."

With such a resolute tone, Shang Zonghai was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head in relief and smiled.

"Good, you have the courage. That’s all that matters," he said as he stepped onto the arch bridge, "Come with me to the study, and we’ll make plans to formally propose to the Li Family again."
