Chapter 124
“WenHan is really thoughtful. You are much more sensible than our girl. In the future, we are handing our girl off to you. If she’s willful, please don’t mind too much. If there’s any issues, let me know.” Mother Xun affectionately patted Mo WenHan’s shoulder with gratitude.
She had always been concerned about her baby daughter. Ever since the engagement with Le family, she had observed Le ChenXi’s growth. She had been worried that child would have faults and wouldn’t be able to match her daughter. There was no way she would let him bully her daughter.
In the end, the child didn’t have many faults. However, he was so easily affected by a commoner girl.
Luckily, her daughter had good taste so she didn’t like Le ChenXi.
“Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Mi’er. Since Mi’er is willing to marry me and spend her years with me, I am the lucky one. As long as I am still breathing, I will never hurt her.” Mo WenHan solemnly knelt in front of Father Xun and Mother Xun and recited his promise.
Before meeting Mi’er, his life was black and white. After meeting her, his life finally had color.
“Good, good, good.” Father Xun smiled. “You’re not a bad fellow.” Mo WenHan, the gemstone betting bigshot, was now kneeling in front of them for XunMi. Just on this, he could see Mo WenHan’s sincerity towards his daughter.
XunMi’s eyes moistened. Han ge, I will keep your deep infatuation close to my heart.
Xun family was very satisfied with their future son-in-law. Meanwhile, an contrasting image was playing out at the Xie residence.
Xie Yan was just about to call XunMi back when Le ZhengTian dragged Le ChenXi to pay them a visit. This could only mean that Le ZhengTian found out about Xie TianTian liking his son and wanted the two families to ally through marriage.
Originally, Le ZhengTian still had his hopes set on the Xun family. However, Mo WenHan’s high-profile declaration of their wedding told him that XunMi would only be a dead end.
Le family’s situation needed to be treated with immediate action. They could only cling onto Xie family now.
Of course, Le ChenXi was very unwilling. He still loved An ZiYi.
XunMi had informed media to temporarily delay the release of any news regarding An ZiYi. Therefore, besides those that were there that day, no one knew that An ZiYi had suffered a startling defeat and was even removed from the the gemstone betting guild.
After all, out of ten stones, she hadn’t gotten even one right. All the signs seemed to indicate that she was like a fake diamond: impressive looking but worthless. Perhaps her previous score rate was actually a strike of good luck. In one day, An ZiYi’s reputation fell without a possibility of rising again. This alone wasn’t anything worth controlling the media for. However, XunMi had a taste for the malicious. She wanted to make sure An ZiYi felt as if she was still on top. Then, when she was left with no other possibilities, she’ll find out that Le ChenXi was about to marry. She needed to inform the queen, Audrey, in advance to make sure she has time to buy a ticket to watch the upcoming show.
“Brother Xie, I’ve come rudely uninvited today but you have probably guessed the purpose of my arrival.” Le ZhengTian looked as if he had aged immensely. His previously black hair was greying at the temples.
Xie Yan ordered the butler to serve tea. “Le old pal, us smart people have no need to speak in circles. You know TianTian is my only daughter. I’m also confused as to why she suddenly started liking Le ChenXi, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to help her achieve her dreams. Old pal, if you would like to have a marriage alliance, I can agree. If you want me to help Le family, I can. But on one condition: Le ChenXi will marry into Xie family and cut all ties with any of those shady outside women.” He didn’t need to specify who he was referring to.
Le ZhengTian stiffened in anger but had no choice but to hold it in.
He could agree to anything but having his son marry into the bride’s family? How could he agree to that?
“I won’t agree. The person I love is Xiao Yi. I won’t marry TianTian. Father, even if you force me, it’ll be useless. And Xie family head, don’t try to threaten Le family because of this.” Le ChenXi stood up in fury.
He will only ever marry Xiao Yi, he definitely won’t betray her. Xiao Yi must still be scared because of last time, causing her to leave him.
As long as he explained thoroughly, Xiao Yi will definitely return to his side.
“Oh, you won’t marry me? Le ChenXi, it seems you’ve misunderstood something.” A woman in a red gown leaned on the railing and looked down mockingly at Le ChenXi below her. Her lips curved upwards.
“Right now, it’s your Le family coming to beg my Xie family. It’s not like Xie family needs to cling onto you. Do you think Le family is still seated on top like in the past? Do you still think you’re still the younger master that others need to flatter.”
She snorted, “Stop teasing yourself. You’re only a pathetic person now. If I want you, consider that your ancestor’s honor.” She slowly walked down the stairs. In the shadows, Xie TianTian’s face twisted with hatred.
Watching from home, XunMi and BaoBao only felt as if this Xie TianTian was a bit off. She definitely didn’t seem as if she was in love with Le ChenXi. Rather, it looked like she absolutely hated him.
Maybe they had all been wrong.
“Xie TianTian, you-” Le ChenXi’s natural temperament was still that of a pampered young master. He couldn’t lower himself to curse.
Le ZhengTian was more composed. “Miss Xie, you attitude is a bit improper. Since you want to marry my son, you must pull back your heiress temper. Even if Le family has fallen, we are still the Le family.”
Xie Yan wasn’t surprised by his daughter’s reaction. He was already used to it after the past few days.
Ever since the jail time, his daughter changed. But this change was good.
The only bad part was that she wanted to marry Le ChenXi.
“BaoBao, I think this scene seems off.” XunMi leaned back onto the comfortable sofa.
