In the autumn of the fourteenth year of the Republic of China, Gu Yunsheng, the eldest daughter of the famous Gu family in Suzhou, was about to leave the cabinet.
The wedding was scheduled for the twelfth lunar month, and the dowry ship had already set off from the canal. Shen Yanting, the third son of the Shen family in Shanghai, left a letter and flew away. There was only one sentence in the letter: "I, Shen Yanting, will never marry a remnant of feudalism."
When the news came, the whole Gu family felt like they were falling into an ice cave. A woman whose engagement was annulled was worse than a widow who lost her husband in the world at that time.
Gu Yunsheng didn't cry.
She just walked up to her uncle calmly and said, "Let's give up the marriage and live in peace. Don't say that Mr. Shen escaped from the marriage, just say that the daughter of the Gu family can't afford it and breaks off the engagement voluntarily."
——This is the only dignity she can leave for herself.
However, Shen Yanqing came.
The second son of the Shen family, the youngest business leader in Shanghai, is as gentle as jade and decisive in killing. He came to clean up the "mess" for his younger brother, thinking it was just a matter of compensation and a document to cancel the engagement.
He didn't expect that he would meet Gu Yunsheng.
A woman whose engagement was annulled did not complain or cry. She just straightened her back and said the most proud words in the calmest tone.
He never expected that he would make a decision that even he couldn't explain——
Take her back to Shanghai.
Not for responsibility or compensation, but because he suddenly felt that such a woman should not be treated like that.
One is a ruthless businessman who "picks up the slack" for his younger brother, and the other is a noble lady from the old clan who was abandoned but remains proud.
When the new and the old collide fiercely, when emotion and reason are repeatedly torn apart——
This story begins with a ridiculous engagement
