“Uncle Lan, to be honest, I brought Jiaojiao here to see you because I have something to say as well.” Chi Mingwei maintained a smile on his face, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Mingwei, let me speak first.” Lan Guanlin was used to being domineering. He didn’t like others being a step ahead of him in anything.
“Please speak first.” Chi Mingwei brought out the bearing a junior should have.
Lan Guanlin glanced at Lan Yunhan and Chi Yan, before clearing his throat and saying, “It’s like this. I think we should forget about the engagement between Yunhan and Jiaojiao. I originally didn’t want to interfere in the marriage of the younger generation. But Jiaojiao didn’t grow up in our city, so she has never interacted with Yunhan. The environments that these two children grew up in are different, so their values will definitely be different. Moreover, they don’t have any feelings for each other. Forcing them to get married will only harm them. What do you think?”
With that, Lan Guanlin looked at Chi Mingwei with suppressive eyes.
Chi Mingwei felt that Lan Guanlin was utterly shameless.
When he wanted to officially set an arranged marriage for Lan Yunhan and Chi Jiao back then, Jiaojiao had still been a baby.
What kind of feelings could a baby have for Lan Yunhan?
At that time, why didn’t he think that the two children might not have any feelings for each other when they grew up?
Now he was using this “lack of emotions” as an excuse. This old man was really too shameless.
Also, weren’t his words trying to imply that he despised Jiaojiao for growing up in the mountains and that she wasn’t worthy of his eldest grandson?
Many people looked at Chi Jiao when they heard Lan Guanlin’s words.
The young girl remained expressionless as she sat beside her father, as obedient as a doll in a display window.
Paying attention to Chi Jiao all this while, Xu Ye naturally heard Lan Guanlin’s words as well.
He felt that the old man’s words were filled with disdain for Jiaojiao.
“Damn it!” Xu Ye cursed and was about to walk forward when he was grabbed by the woman beside him.
“This is their family business. Behave yourself.” Xu Ye’s mother leaned in and threatened softly in his ear. “If you’re disobedient, I’ll tell the girl you like that you peed on the bed when you were eight years old.”
“Mom?!” Xu Ye was stunned. His mother had broken his bottom line once again.
The others looked at Chi Jiao with pity.
This young lady was really too pitiful.
However, it was no wonder that the Lan family would make such a choice.
Chi Yan and Chi Jiao were indeed worlds apart.
Lan Yunhan choosing Chi Yan was a very realistic choice.
That girl could only blame herself for being unlucky.
On the other side of the situation, Chi Yan looked shocked as she looked at Lan Guanlin. “Grandfather, this doesn’t seem like a good idea. Jiaojiao didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Yanyan, of course Grandpa knows that Jiaojiao didn’t do anything wrong. But as Grandpa has said, we shouldn’t force one’s feelings.” As Lan Yunhan spoke, he looked at Chi Jiao with no guilt in his eyes. “Jiaojiao, I’ve interacted with your sister for many years, and I’ve always liked her. You understand, right?”
Standing not far away, Zhu Limin was overwhelmed with joy when she saw this.
Little b*tch, she was finally humiliated.
She was so happy.
Chi Jiao looked up at Lan Yunhan with an indifferent gaze.
Before she could speak, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted discordantly.
“First Miss, you’re finally here.” A rough male voice filled with undeniable respect was heard.
Chi Jiao was unwilling to expose her true identity in front of outsiders. Therefore, Na Yankun would only call her Master Jiao when they were with people they knew.
