Qin Siyu and Zhou Rui had only one daughter, Qin Kejing, who now found herself accused of murder. Although she hadn't been sentenced, she was confined to a mental institution.
Her friends whispered about it behind her back.
Moreover, Shen Xihe's mother had come to the Qin Family several times to find Zhou Rui, indirectly suggesting they call off the engagement. They hoped the Qin Family would initiate the cancellation, so it wouldn't seem as if the Shen Family was kicking them while they were down.
The Qin Family had no desire to break off the engagement with the Shen Family. After Qin Siyu's business ran into trouble, the Qin Family's fortunes declined by the day. How could they afford to give up the support of the Shen Family, a mighty tree?
During this period, Qin Siyu had been running around trying to find a connection. Finally, he found someone with great power and influence willing to release Qin Kejing from the mental institution.
