Chapter 1: Engagement Broken

"What did you say? You want to see Tingting?"

Lin Qin looked at Dongfang Tianlong with disdain: "Didn't I tell you yesterday through the security guard that our family has nothing to do with you? You are not worthy of Tingting, our Tingting doesn't want you anymore, what are you here for?"

Dongfang Tianlong was furious. At first, he had saved Tingting from E Zhouyu's clutches, preventing her from being raped. This man came to him with his daughter, claiming to repay his favor by betrothing his daughter to him. This left Dongfang Tianlong, who was only in high school, with a fiancee (well, to be fair, Tingting was pretty, and Dongfang Tianlong couldn't refuse). Now, because of his father's car accident and the impending collapse of their family business, the man claims he can no longer afford to have his daughter betrothed to him. What kind of logic is this?

Just after the college entrance examination, Dongfang Tianlong received a call from his uncle informing him that his father had passed away in a car accident. Their family's building materials distribution company had accidentally imported a batch of counterfeit goods. The payment to the supplier had been made, but the buyer's payment was not received, and millions of yuan from the company account had disappeared. Now, because of the problems with the building materials they provided, the newly built house collapsed on the construction site, resulting in fatalities. Therefore, the company will face a huge compensation of eight million yuan.

However, my uncle said that as long as we can raise one million dollars to give to the person in charge, they won't pursue it for now.

Faced with the impending collapse of his family business, Dongfang Tianlong couldn't afford to grieve his father's death. He desperately searched for money, but all his former relatives and friends avoided him. Just as he was exhausted from running around, his uncle reminded him, "Don't you still have a fiancee? Even if she doesn't give you money, take back the dragon bracelet she gave you at your engagement. It could be sold for a large sum to ease your current difficulties."

He only went to his fiancée's home out of desperation.

Although Li Tingting's fiancée's family isn't involved in business, Tingting's father used to be the head of a township in Jinmen City. Their family can afford a villa (although housing prices in Nancheng, a mid-sized city like this, aren't too expensive, it still costs several million), so they should be able to come up with some money.

Besides, Tingting's father might not be good at anything else, but he's good at networking. Perhaps without spending any money, if Tingting's father could help connect with the bank and secure another loan, they could overcome this difficulty.

Unexpectedly, yesterday he came to the Lin family's residence, a villa community called Tenglong Garden located on the outskirts of town. However, he couldn't even enter the gate, only receiving a single sentence from the security guard: "The homeowner said that their family has nothing to do with your family anymore, please don't bother them again." He was sent away.

But the desperate Dongfang Tianlong didn't go back directly. Instead, he waited outside the neighborhood all night. At five in the morning, taking advantage of the security guard's nap, he slipped into the neighborhood and stayed outside Lin's villa. He finally stopped Lin QIn, TingTing's mother, from leaving, but her attitude was like this... How could he not be sad? How could he not be angry?

Not only did he refuse to lend me money, but he also broke off the engagement. We had originally agreed to get married after he graduated from university. How could we just call it off like that?

Although he had thought that the Lin family might call off the engagement before coming, given the huge scandal involving the Dongfang family and the fact that the Lin family hadn't come to visit, it was a clear indication of their stance. However, he couldn't refuse to come because, as his uncle said, if they truly broke off the engagement, he could get back his original betrothal dragon bangle and sell it for a lot of money.

The Dragon Bracelet was left to him by his grandfather. His grandfather once said that if the bracelet were to be sold, it would have to sell for at least tens of millions. As long as he auctioned off the Dragon Bracelet, he could save the company.

But Dongfang Tianlong truly liked Tingting, and he didn't want to reach the point of breaking off the engagement. He forced himself to suppress his anger and pleaded earnestly: "Aunt Lin, no matter what, whether or not we go through with the marriage, I have to see Tingting. If it is Tingting's wish to break off the engagement, I won't insist, but please let me in and see her for a moment."

This must be Auntie Lin's meaning, Tingting is so good, she wouldn't leave him! As long as he sees Tingting, he'll definitely be persuaded to not break off the engagement. Who knows, he might even find a way to get through this difficulty himself!

But Lin Qin stood at the entrance of the villa, refusing to let him in: "Our Tingting is not at home, there's no point in you coming in."

"Really, Tingting isn't home? Then I'll just go in and wait for her to come back." Dongfang Tianlong said.

"Dare you say you're not pestering her?" A man with a stern face walked out of the villa gate: "If you weren't pestering her, why would you come to my sister's house? You're just thinking about how easy my sister is to talk to, wanting to cling onto her and nag her relentlessly. Don't you dare think about getting away with it by saying you want to call off the engagement! Get out now, or don't blame me for being impolite and having people throw you out!"

This person, Eastern Dragon, has been seen by Tingting's aunt, Lin.

The East Dragon couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "I won't speak to you! Tingting, come out and speak to me!"

<<>>>

The Eastern Dragon is in a predicament. His father’s company, founded by his father, is on the brink of bankruptcy. His father suddenly passed away, leaving the company facing a massive 8 million yuan debt. He's truly down on his luck now. If Tingting were to marry him, she would suffer along with him. If the family business truly fails, the only thing he has left is the ancestral medical practice taught by his grandfather.

Because Grandpa's health wasn't good, Dongfang Yiming also studied medicine. Later, as his business grew bigger, he left medicine behind and went to Guawa Country. Grandpa loved Dongfang Tianlong the most, so he passed down all of his medical knowledge to him.

Grandpa once boasted to Dongfang Tianlong that their ancestors were a medical dynasty, but unfortunately, the miraculous medicine of their ancestors had been lost. His own medicine wasn't very good, and despite teaching all his medical knowledge to Dongfang Tianlong, Dongfang Tianlong's medicine was still not very good.

Hearing Lin's words, Dongfang Tianlong choked and couldn't speak. However, after glaring at Lin, he smiled again: "Although my medical skills aren't great, I did save your life."

Lin was taken aback and couldn't speak for a moment. This was because, the last time he came to Li's house, he suddenly fell ill. Dongfang Tianlong happened to be there. Although his medical skills weren't great, he knew how to perform emergency treatment and saved Lin's life.

Recommendation, thank you!
