He Tingyan said nothing.

The small space, which could accommodate five people, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"By the way, didn't you say you still wanted to play the piano for your Grandpa He? It's getting late, what are you still doing here? Come on, get ready." Seeing this, Xue Pan laughed and broke the silence.

As he spoke, he was about to leave with his men.

"Wait a minute." He Tingyan narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Mr. He, your granddaughter bullied my people and just left like that without even saying an apology. Is this how your scholarly family behaves?"

Xue Pan paused.

He glanced at Wen Xi and saw that she had no intention of speaking, which made him feel very dissatisfied.

He had already heard most of the whole story outside.

A poor man who was kicked out of his family dared to snatch his granddaughter away?

However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was not appropriate to show it in front of He Tingyan at this moment.

Although the Xue family has some reputation, it is still far inferior to the He family.

The situation is stronger than people, so we have to bow our heads.

Xue Pan had no choice but to look at his granddaughter and frowned, saying, "Zi Qi, apologize to this young lady."

"Grandpa, how could I bully her? Look, she is unharmed..." Xue Ziqi was furious.

"Could it be that Ting Yan is lying?" Xue Pan said in a deep voice.

"grandfather……"

"What did I teach you since you were a child? It's a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. Come on, apologize." Xue Pan urged her with his eyes.

Xue Ziqi gritted his teeth and apologized to Wen Xi reluctantly.

After saying the three words "I'm sorry", he rushed out like a fly.

Xue Pan shook his head helplessly.

Why is this kid so impatient?

He turned around and looked at He Tingyan and Wen Xi with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm so sorry to have made you laugh. I've really spoiled my granddaughter. But even though she's a bit harsh with her words, she's not a bad person at heart. Please, young lady, bear with me for the sake of an old man. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back."

"Mr. Xue, you're too kind." Wen Xi smiled lightly.

Xue Ziqi, the Xue family had only one girl after three generations. Who doesn’t know that she is spoiled like a princess at home?

The old man of the Xue family regards his granddaughter as more precious than his own eyes.

Who would believe such polite words as "teaching a lesson"?

But she was too lazy to pursue the matter any further. After all, she was not the one who suffered the loss from the beginning to the end.

Xue Pan nodded slightly to the two of them and left accompanied by Cheng Ruolin.

-

"Are you calm now?"

He Tingyan looked at the girl who had been watching the show from the sidelines from beginning to end, his eyes calm.

"That's about right." Wen Xi shrugged and looked up at the man beside her, "He Tingyan..."

"Um?"

"We have no grudges in the past or present, why are you dragging me into this?"

"Drag you into this?" He Tingyan asked with a hint of doubt in his tone. "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it? There must be a lot of admirers like Xue Ziqi who are so willful and capricious and crazy about you, right? You didn't see the way they looked at me when you brought me to Grandpa He just now. They almost wanted to eat me alive. I bet that after tonight, I'm probably public enemy number one in the hearts of your admirers."

"You're not someone who's afraid of things."

"I'm not afraid, but who wouldn't be annoyed by a bunch of flies buzzing around you all day for no reason?"

He Tingyan was silent for a moment before speaking, "Don't worry, this won't happen again. Follow me, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."
