Xiong Chen knelt on the ground and said, "Mom and Dad, my son has been willful these years and has often caused trouble for you outside."
"What's wrong if I don't have the support of the Xiong family? What if I can't be the son-in-law of the Tian family? I will definitely live a good life for you in the future!"
After the words fell, he kowtowed on the spot and then went straight to the inner room.
Mother Bear's eyes were wet, but her tone was full of pride, "You brat, you have finally grown up, and now you are like my son, the one with the seed!"
After saying that, she glared hard, "Why are you still standing there? Your son is more promising than you now!"
Xiong Gang was scolded and was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
Mother Bear rolled her eyes and said, "Go in, are you really not afraid that your son will have his legs broken by the old man?"
In the back room, Grandpa Xiong was leaning on a cane. After listening to Xiong Chen's explanation, his face became extremely gloomy, "Have you really considered it? Do you really want to break off the engagement with Qiu Yu?"
Xiong Chen nodded, "Grandpa, I've thought about it!"
Tian Qiuyu stood behind Grandpa Xiong. Although it was the answer he had expected a long time ago, his emotions still fluctuated. The palms in his sleeves were slightly clenched, and his breathing was rising and falling slightly!
Grandpa Xiong's eyes were downcast, "What's the reason? Because of that girl from the Su family?"
Xiong Chen said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with anyone. Grandpa, you have taught me since I was a child that a man must dare to act."
"For so many years, I have always regarded Qiu Yu as my sister. I don't want to deceive myself, let alone her."
"What if I have to deceive others for the rest of my life because of my engagement? I can't do such a thing!"
Grandpa Xiong frowned, "Why is it called cheating?"
"As long as two people are together, feelings will come sooner or later. Your grandma and I have never even met before we got married. Will we not be able to live in love for the rest of our lives?"
Xiong Chen smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, not everyone can be as open-minded as you were back then, and not everyone has the same state of mind as you were back then."
"How about saying that you are an old-timer and we are just young boys?"
Grandpa Xiong glared, "Stop talking to me that nonsense, do you think Qiu Yu is not good enough for you?"
Xiong Chen promised, "Grandpa, if I have this idea, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Besides, I know about Chu Tianhe's pursuit of Sister Qiu Yu back then, and I also helped come up with many bad ideas."
"If you really think about it, this matter cannot be shouldered entirely by a girl. I am also responsible!"
"I owe Sister Qiu Yu, and I'm willing to spend my whole life repaying it, but I can't deceive her with a false marriage. That would be even greater harm to her!"
The atmosphere in the hall was quiet, and even Xiong Gang and his wife, who came in later, did not dare to interrupt.
Grandpa Xiong stared at his grandson for a long time, then turned around and said, "Qiu Yu, grandpa wants to hear your attitude!"
"Just say it, don't have any scruples!"
"Grandpa can promise you that if you don't agree, no one can cancel this marriage!"
Tian Qiuyu bit his lip, "Xiong Chen, I have done everything I can do for you today."
"If you change your mind, I can pretend that nothing happened."
"If you insist, I won't persuade you!"
"I can even tell you clearly that over the years I have not only regarded you as my younger brother, I have also regarded you as my husband to protect you!"
"You make up your own mind on what to choose. As long as you don't regret it in the future, I don't have any objections!"
As Tian Qiuyu finished speaking, Xiong Chen solemnly said: "I don't regret it!"
Grandpa Xiong half-squinted his eyes, "You all get out!"
Mother Bear wanted to speak, but was blocked back by the old man's majesty.
