Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Can This Engagement... Not Be Called Off? _1

However, the Shen Family patriarch, disregarding all, pushed everyone who rushed forward away, pointed at Shen Qifa, and roared, "You rebellious son! Beast! Get over here!"

Shen Qifa obediently approached the bed, but before the Shen Family patriarch could speak, he already knelt down.

"You fool! What did I tell you back then?"

"If someone comes with a marriage contract, you must fulfill it without fail, without any discrepancies!"

"And you? You actually deny this marriage contract? Have my words been eaten by a dog?!"

The Shen Family patriarch was furious, his whole body trembling with anger.

Hearing his words, everyone turned to look at Shen Qifa, their eyes filled with doubt.

Because of Shen Qifa, they all thought this marriage contract was a fake.

But now the old master actually acknowledged the marriage contract?

What exactly was going on?

Shen Bingying’s face was full of shock, "Father, that marriage contract... in the end... is it real or fake?"

Shen Qifa, with a bitter face, whispered, "Daughter, that marriage contract... it is indeed real... but at the beginning, I thought that guy was just a poor young man with nothing, how could my daughter marry such a poor fellow?"

"I also didn’t want to see my daughter break the contract... so, the only option was to deny it... Moreover, I had already asked him, all the elders in his family are gone!"

Upon hearing Shen Qifa’s defense, the Shen Family patriarch became even more breathless with rage, gasping for air while clutching his chest.

"You unfilial son! Do you know how long I begged, how hard it was for me to secure that marriage contract!"

"For all these years, I’ve been worried that they would break the contract, but now, to my surprise, it is our Shen Family that broke it... you! you! you..."

The Shen Family patriarch gasped for air, his eyes rolling back as he fainted on the spot.

"Grandfather!"

Shen Bingying screamed and hurried outside the room, anxiously addressing Ning Fan, "Ning Fan, my grandfather has fainted again! Please, save him quickly!"

Ning Fan’s mouth twitched.

He had just revived the man, and they hadn’t even visited for five minutes, and they had managed to faint him again?

Talented indeed!

Ning Fan entered the room, had the Shen Family people step back, and checked on the Shen Family patriarch, finding he had simply succumbed to a bout of extreme anger.

With a flick of his fingers on a few acupoints of the patriarch, the old man exhaled and gradually regained consciousness.

Catching his breath, the old master called Shen Qifa to his side.

"I ask you, where is the young man who is engaged to our Bingying? Bring him here at once, I want to see him!"

The Shen Family patriarch still thought Ning Fan was just a divine doctor hired by the Shen Family.

Shen Qifa hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Ning Fan by the bedside, and with a bitter tone said, "Old master... he is..."

"What?" The Shen Family patriarch was stunned for a moment, his gaze toward Ning Fan becoming complicated as he sighed deeply.

Shen Qifa carefully said, "Father, our Shen Family..."

The Shen Family patriarch’s face darkened, and he yelled furiously, "Still have the nerve to mention it! You unfilial lot, get out!"

"I don’t want to see you, the Shen Family is bankrupt now, all of you, get out and beg on the streets!"

The Shen Family clanspeople did not dare to defy and obediently left the room.

Once everyone had left, the Shen Family patriarch invited Ning Fan to sit by the bed, full of shame, "Young Ning, it’s my fault for failing to guide the younger generation properly, never would I have thought they’d do such things, I am ashamed..."

Ning Fan, knowing that everything was Shen Qifa’s own doing, comforted him, "Patriarch, you’re taking it too seriously, you’re advanced in years, the younger generation’s affairs have nothing to do with you."

The Shen patriarch sighed deeply for a while, then observed Ning Fan for a long time, slowly nodding, "Indeed, you and your mother... really do bear a resemblance..."

"My mother?" Ning Fan perked up, "Patriarch, what exactly was my mother like? Can you tell me about her?"

The patriarch nodded and began to speak to him in detail.

"When I met your mother, she was a figure of absolute elegance, with strength that was the most formidable among those I have ever seen..."

"At that time, your mother faced formidable enemies, slaying over a hundred people with a single sword..."

"Her extraordinary grace was truly like that of a celestial goddess descending from the nine heavens..."

"We mortals, merely watching her from afar, couldn’t help but feel an urge to worship..."

The Shen Family patriarch babbled on, telling Ning Fan quite a bit about his mother, which made the image of his mother grow ever clearer in his heart.

In the end, Ning Fan stood up, gave a respectful bow to the patriarch, and sincerely said, "Thank you for telling me about these matters, Patriarch Shen."

"It’s alright, I had an acquaintance with your mother back in the day, seeing you now is like returning to those years..."

After a bout of reminiscence, the patriarch changed the subject, "Young Ning, the previous issue was the fault of my Shen Family’s younger generation, this marriage contract... can you not cancel it? Can we proceed as originally planned?"

"Patriarch, I already have someone I like in my heart, so I must cancel this marriage contract," Ning Fan shook his head.

The patriarch’s eyes swiveled, and he smiled, "Young man, don’t be so old-fashioned, if it’s polygamy, I wouldn’t mind either... When I arranged the marriage contract with your mother back then, I had this premonition..."

Ning Fan never expected the old master to be so open-minded and said with a wry smile, waving his hand, "You must be joking, Patriarch Shen, my heart is small, and can only accommodate one woman; as for the practice of one husband, many wives, let’s not bring it up again."
