Act? What is she acting for?
She panicked: "I really don't know what's going on! Where is this place? Why am I here? Where's my brother?!"
His words, as cold as ice, floated over: "This is the Ning Family in Beijing. Today I'm getting engaged, your brother sent you here, somehow convinced my dad using some horrible means, and ruined my engagement ceremony."
This is the Ning Family in Beijing?
She was sent here by Brother Yixiao?
Her brother even ruined his engagement ceremony? Oh right... he was supposed to get engaged to the Gan Family's daughter today.
She clenched her fists, suddenly enlightened.
Her brother knew about her affection for Nie Yixiao and feared she'd be upset, so he did this.
Because she resolutely said she wouldn't be with Nie Yixiao anymore, her brother was afraid she'd refuse, so he simply used a needle to make her unconscious and forcibly sent her here!
However, how could her brother have stopped the Ning Family's engagement... how did he achieve that?
