Heiress Betrothed to Fierce Heir

Chapter 1 Grandpa’s Passing

Old Master Chi passed away.

I knelt in front of the memorial tablet for three days.

On his deathbed, Grandpa told me: "Take care of the heirloom, and go visit your Grandpa Chi..."

His hand went limp in mine.

I did the funeral in a daze.

After locking the house door, I carried my backpack and took the bus to the city.

Bouncing all the way, I stood awkwardly in front of Grandpa Chi's house.

Old Master Chi was Grandpa's comrade.

Grandpa had saved his life once.

When he heard the news, Old Master Chi's eyes were red: "Chen Wu, from now on I am your Grandpa."

He mentioned the Childhood Betrothal he and Grandpa had arranged.

Old Master Chi hesitated: "I have several grandsons..."

The older ones were already married and had children.

Only the youngest one was still in school.

The society is open now, gender is not a problem.

But I knew the class gap was too big.

I was about to stop Old Master Chi.

Suddenly, there was a heavy object crashing against the door upstairs.

Then came the sound of a vase shattering.

A young voice roared: "Don't come closer!"

Everyone was startled.

I looked up nervously.

A boy with a fierce look rushed to the stairs.

In his hand was a piece of broken porcelain.

The boy's gaze swept down quickly.

He stared at me fiercely.

"Do you want me to marry you?"

I opened my mouth to deny it.

The boy's gaze shifted.

He stared at Old Master Chi's unhappy face.

"You old fool, are you crazy?"

Old Master Chi was furious: "Damn it!"

The boy sneered and pretended to slash his wrist.

"I swear here, even if I marry a dog, I will not marry this country bumpkin!"

Old Master Chi's wife came running in panic.

Seeing her son's hand in danger, she collapsed and wailed: "Dad! You can't drive Chi Jin to death!"

Servants crowded at the stairs.

They didn't dare go up for fear of angering Chi Jin.

The commotion stopped when Old Master Chi picked up his cane and smashed it on the floor.

His face turned pale, lips trembling.

It was a choice between a comrade's request and a family threat.

Before he could speak, I said: "It's fine, the Childhood Betrothal is canceled."

Everyone was stunned.

In their eyes, the poor country boy should cling to Old Master Chi's guilt.

After all, marrying into the Chi family meant a life without worries.

I lowered my eyes: "Old Master Chi, I will stay here for one year, and after the College Entrance Exam I will move out."
