In the Ji family's luxurious hall.

Song Zhizhi was being scolded by Ji Yunlei, her face flushed.

She secretly peeked at Ji Baijian. His attitude was indifferent; he did not seem to care.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip. She knew very well that a mere apology was useless in this situation. It would do nothing but highlight how ignorant and uncultured she was.

Song Zhizhi took a deep breath and stated bluntly, "What happened yesterday was my fault, so I came here specifically to apologize today. I know it's wilful of me and I should not be easily forgiven, but in the end, calling off the engagement is not a good thing for either of our families. I'm young and immature, so I sincerely ask Uncle Ji to give me another chance. I'll definitely be an exemplary daughter-in-law to the Ji family."

Ji Yunlei would not be swayed so easily, of course. It would bring shame to him to be toyed around by a young girl.

Fortunately, Song Shan happened to arrive at that very moment. Sensing the tense atmosphere among the Ji family, he quickly took the vintage wine he brought here from his assistant's hand and brought it over to Ji Yunlei. "I apologize, Old Ji. It's my fault for not teaching my daughter properly. I've spoiled her too much ever since she was a kid."

"She really should learn some proper discipline. How can she change her mind every day?! A proper young lady should never behave like that."

"You're right, you're right," Song Shan nodded, "I'll definitely teach her a lesson when we get back. About the engagement..."

"The engagement stands." Song Zhizhi turned to her father. "I've reflected on it. I should not have been so selfish. The marriage is not just a matter between Ji Baijian and myself, but a matter between the Song family and the Ji family; it concerns both our family's reputation. I've realized my mistake now."

Song Shan stared at his daughter in disbelief. What's the big idea?

"I've realized how ignorant I was, dad. I'd like to carry on with the engagement," Song Zhizhi told Song Shan with certainty.

Song Shan frowned and whispered in Song Zhizhi's ear, "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

"You know Ji Baijian's condition. Are you sure you've thought it over carefully?" Song Shan reminded her.

Everyone thought Ji Baijian was impotent! She was the only one who knew how beastly this man could be.

She nodded again. "Dad, I've thought it over very carefully."

Song Shan was silent for a few seconds. The business world was currently at a critical juncture. To him, it would definitely be beneficial to have the backing of a powerful conglomerate. Furthermore, this marriage arrangement was known not just to the whole city, but the whole country. Calling it off would bring shame to both families!

In that case...

Song Shan quickly spoke, "Old Ji, I'm sorry this young and ignorant child of mine has caused you so much trouble, but she's realized her mistake now. I hope, as an elder, you can find it in you to forgive her. Let us proceed with the marriage. They're both of suitable age now, it's about time we discuss a proper date for the marriage."

"Fine. Considering our friendship of so many years, I forgive the girl." Albeit still upset, Ji Yunlei understood that the marriage was beneficial for both sides. Besides, the Chief Diplomat of Commerce himself, Song Shan, had come to apologize in person. If he were to keep up his temper, it would surely damage the friendship between the two of them. It was not wise to fight with an official, so he would take the chance he was given and back down. "But be warned. If the same thing were to happen again, it won't be a situation that can be solved with just words!"
