“What do I think?” Xiao Cheng chuckled. “It’s the Xie family’s honor to have him as a son. I’ll pick a good day to bring him here.”
“Old Master Xiao…”
“Father!”
Xie Siqi and Xiao Ruilang spoke simultaneously but Xiao Cheng put his hand up to stop them.
“Ms. Xie, you’re such a great lady. It’s an injustice to match up my troublesome son to match up with you.” Xiao Cheng looked towards Xie Siqi kindly.
Xie Siqi’s face was pale. Her lips moved slightly, but she was at a loss for word.
There’s no way she could say, “Yes, your son isn’t good enough for me.
Xiao Cheng had already lowered himself so much. She would definitely offend the Xiao family if she dared say that in public.
Xiao Cheng then looked at Xiao Ruilang and said, “You brat. It’s your honor to marry Ms. Xie. Take good care of yourself in the future, or I won’t let you off!”
Xiao Ruilang smiled and said, “As you say.”
He casted a slight glance at Ji Shiting, only to see the man smile and raise his glass.
Xiao Ruilang’s eyes dimmed.
Xiao Cheng smiled and looked at Li Yinian. “You’re the mistress of the house. Please worry about that brat’s marriage.”
“It’s my duty.” Li Yinian smiled.
Old Master Xiao had settled the matter with just a few words.
Xie Siqi almost vomited blood.
Ji Shiting smiled and left with Xiao Cheng. He and Xie Siqi walked out of the crowd, and other guests came forward to give their blessings to the newlywed couple.
“Shiting!” Xie Siqi’s eyes were red. “What do you mean? You know what kind of person Xiao Ruilang is, yet you still want me to be a couple with him? Even if you don’t treat me as family, you can’t just push me into the fire!”
“Isn’t that what the Xie family wants?” Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow.
p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om “Mom wants you to cancel the engagement with the Xiao family for me!” Xie Siqi bit her lips as tears welled up in her eyes.
The Xie family’s status in Yang City was average, so her father had always valued the engagement with the Xiao family, but the Xiao family didn’t mention it, and the Xie family couldn’t take the initiative, so it had been dragged on until now. Xie Siqi wasn’t interested in marrying into the Xiao family at all, but she knew that her father wouldn’t cancel the engagement on his own accord, so she set her sights on Ji Shiting.
Ji Shiting and Xiao Cheng were friends, so Old Master Xiao wouldn’t be mad if he asked. That way, she would be able to get rid of the engagement.
Who knew that Ji Shiting was pushing for the engagement to happen!
If Old Master Xiao really came to the Xie family to put forward the engagement proposal, her father would definitely agree!
“My mother told me that you had an engagement with the Xiao family, but it hadn’t been fulfilled for a long time, so she asked me to help you.” Ji Shiting smiled. “I assumed she meant for me to help facilitate your engagement with Xiao Ruilang, but it seems like I misunderstood.”
Xie Siqi looked at him in disbelief. Was he mistaken? How could he be mistaken? She didn’t believe that Xu Shaoqing hadn’t explained it clearly!
“Shiting… How can you be so irresponsible?” She started to cry. “I know you have some misunderstandings regarding me, but I’ve never done anything to let you down!”
Ji Shiting said with a smile, “Sorry. Ms. Xie, please don’t ask me for help anymore since I’m so irresponsible.”
