Yao Zhizhi, with her gossip system, transmigrated into one of the "five golden flowers and one treasure" family. Her parents, in order to find some long-term blood donors for Yaozu, asked u...
Chapter 271: Third Brother's Love Story 4: Decided to carry out the separation of the couple...
Yao Weihua was a little surprised. He was not familiar with the son-in-law of the Ni family and did not know that he was from the mainland.
I couldn't help but wonder: "Is there anyone in your family in the army?"
"My uncle's here. You might have heard of him. His name is Tan Zhenbang." Tan Zhihao clinked his glass with a smile. "My father married a wealthy woman, so our family came here a long time ago. All in all, we've been here for almost ten years."
No wonder the man's Cantonese wasn't very authentic. Yao Weihua laughed, "So it's Commander Tan. He also served in Northeast China in his early years."
"Well, he was later transferred," Tan Zhihao whispered. "So, since we're both from the mainland, how about we become friends?"
Yao Weihua smiled and said, "Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful!"
As for whether Tan Zhihao has good intentions or ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter. At least today’s trip was not in vain.
After chatting for a while, a few bodyguards in black suits came into view quietly.
Yao Weihua was very sharp-eyed. When one of the bodyguards moved aside to make way for the waiter, he saw the pistol on the bodyguard's waist.
It seems that the eldest wife of the Ni family has decided to carry out the process of breaking up the couple.
Yao Weihua suddenly wanted to laugh. Was it really that serious? He was from the mainland, but they actually arranged five or six bodyguards to "protect" him?
You really think too highly of him. There are many beautiful women in the world, and he would not sacrifice his life for a woman.
He has parents, brothers and sisters, and a large group of lovely children who call him uncle.
He stood in the center of the scale, without adding any weights, and could clearly see that the family side was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He was not afraid of death, but if he died for such a thing, he would be too unfair to his family.
He can't die, he has to teach Mrs. Ni a lesson!
No one can trample on his dignity unless he is willing.
And his relationship with Michelle Ni has obviously not reached that point yet.
At this moment, he had made up his mind.
Just as he was about to leave, Ni Jiaxin came over.
She was originally wearing a bright red evening gown with a train, but now she changed into a snow-white corseted long skirt, and her hair, which was once tied up, was now let down, like a lotus in clear water, which completely catered to Yao Weihua's aesthetic.
Ni Jiaxin took a glass of wine from the waiter and walked towards Yao Weihua.
Tan Zhihao greeted with a smile, "Little sister, come here, let me introduce you. This is a friend I just made, Mr. Yao Weihua, from the mainland."
Ni Jiaxin and Tan Zhihao's wife were not born of the same mother, so their relationship was average. Moreover, the fact that she was in a relationship with Yao Weihua was currently known only to the first wife. Therefore, she could only pretend not to know Yao Weihua and politely clinked glasses with him: "I've heard of Mr. Yao. I think he's a friend of Mr. Lu Henian?"
"Yes, I heard that Miss Ni is a top student at Cambridge? I've heard of her for a long time." Yao Weihua didn't want to expose her. Since she was acting, he would just stick with her to the end.
Unfortunately, Ni Jiaxin's acting was not natural enough. Her eyes were always fixed on Yao Weihua, passionately and boldly.
So much so that Tan Zhihao felt something was wrong, he asked tentatively: "Xinxin, why don't you see Dazi?"
"He and I are just ordinary friends." When Ni Jiaxin said this, she looked into Yao Weihua's eyes, hoping that he would understand that she was just forced to come over and show up, and she didn't really want to develop a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Li Shida.
Yao Weihua pretended not to hear, looked at his watch, and said, "It's getting late. I have an appointment, so I'm leaving now."
"It's so late!" Ni Jiaxin was anxious, thinking he was angry. She ignored Tan Zhihao's gaze and chased after him and asked, "Are you going to the Huang family?"
Yao Weihua neither admitted nor denied it, but just looked into her eyes calmly. What a beautiful pair of blue eyes, but it was a pity that this person was not destined to be with him.
Yao Weihua smiled, turned around and left without saying a word.
Ni Jiaxin wanted to say something more, but Lu Henian, who was standing by, had already noticed the bodyguards were ready to attack, and quickly handed the wine glass in his hand to Ni Jiaxin: "Miss Ni, please, I have to accompany my friend to an appointment. Excuse me."
Ni Jiaxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since she was with Lu Henian, he should not be going on a date with a woman.
She decided not to follow him. She stared at Yao Weihua's back and sighed silently.
To be honest, with her status, she has seen all kinds of men: passionate, indifferent, materialistic, and aloof.
The only thing she couldn't figure out was Yao Weihua.
He did not reject her approach, but he was on high alert and refused to break through the last line of defense. He was like a Manchu loyalist, but not a complete loyalist. At least he was willing to kiss her.
That strong embrace, that scorching body temperature, that rapid breathing, that chaotic heartbeat...
She thought that he must love her, but was just jealous.
Then let's wait until after the New Year to explain to him. Mom's health is not good. If she passes away like this, I'm afraid she will get sick from anger.
Her heart was entirely on Yao Weihua, and she didn't notice anything was wrong with the bodyguard.
At this moment, the eldest wife of the Ni family called out from behind. Ni Jiaxin took a deep breath, handed the goblet in her hand to a passing waiter, picked up another full glass, forced a smile, and walked towards the crowd.
I thought it would just be a formality, but when I got to her mother, she turned around and picked up the microphone without saying a word, announcing that today was not only the Ni family's New Year's Eve dance, but also the engagement dinner for the fifth daughter of the Ni family's eldest wife and Mr. Li Shida.
Ni Jiaxin was completely stunned. This matter was not discussed with her at all, and she had no idea when they decided on the marriage without telling her.
She looked at her mother who had decided the rest of her life on her own initiative, and felt shocked, angry, confused, resentful...all kinds of emotions flooded her heart.
Without even thinking, she turned around and left the table angrily.
Tan Zhihao blocked her way and gently reminded her, "Little sister, have you heard that the children of the Jia family hired a Taoist priest and said they wanted to take revenge on someone?"
Ni Jiaxin was stunned. She didn't know, but she understood that if this was true, the target of revenge would definitely be Yao Weihua.
If she left like this, it would mean that Yao Weihua would have more enemies.
But why is it so? Why? Is it that such a great international metropolis cannot accommodate a couple in a free love relationship?
She doesn't understand! She is in so much pain!
Tears welled up in her eyes. Just then, a waiter passed by and Tan Zhihao tripped him, causing the drink to spill all over Ni Jiaxin again. She turned her back to her mother and said, "I'll go change into a dress and come back later."
"Change to a bright red one!" Mrs. Ni was a mixed-race girl. She was in poor health and sounded weak when she spoke.
Like a deserter, Ni Jiaxin forced herself to nod and quickly left the dance hall.
Back in the dressing room, she silently shed tears at herself in the mirror.
She wanted to resist and say no. This was her life, why couldn't she have the final say?
If she has studied for more than twenty years, but in the end can only be a puppet, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?
After much thought, she decided to take a gamble.
She quickly changed into a goose yellow dress, still the style that Yao Weihua liked, gentle and generous, like an elegant and dignified tulip. She still had her hair loose and went out like this.
She found her biological mother who was chatting with the guests and prepared to lie, saying that she was pregnant with Yao Weihua's child, and that her mother was a religious believer and would definitely not force her to abort the child.
But she saw her mother's warning look and backed off.
No, her mother has already announced the engagement. If such a thing is exposed at this time, it will only harm Yao Weihua.
Maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, this man will no longer exist in this world.
At that time, her mother will say, then give birth to the child and send it away.
After sending the child away, she will be forced to marry Li Shida.
Look, all her ways out are blocked. Even if she and Yao Weihua travel around the world, they can only live in uncertainty and have no idea when the end will come.
She can't even withdraw her trust fund until she gets married.
After she left the Ni family, she had nothing but the title of a top student at Cambridge.
Maybe she could find a decent job and earn a salary that could barely make ends meet, but Yao Weihua would definitely be hunted down and would mysteriously disappear under the sun.
She had nowhere to retreat, nowhere to go.
In the end, she could only watch her mother, whose face was full of wrinkles from smiling, walk forward with tears in her eyes, and her mother took her arm, and she stood beside Li Shida, accepting everyone's blessings, whether sincere or false.
For a moment, she thought that maybe she could talk to Li Shida and hope that he would give up the engagement on his own initiative.
She was willing to compensate him with some money as long as he would withdraw.
But when she looked at the man's eyes hidden behind his glasses, she clearly realized that he was a calculating man who would never give up the benefits that were within his reach. The Ni family had a prominent family background, and she was the most suitable marriage partner for him among the major wealthy families.
In the end, Ni Jiaxin had to force out an ugly and fake smile and wait until the end of the dance.
When she was going back, Li Shida wanted to send her off, but she refused. When she got home, she had a cold war with her mother and didn't say a word.
But this passive resistance had no effect at all. As soon as her mother got home, she cheered up and arranged various dances for her after the New Year.
For the first time, she discovered that the laughter of her relatives was so harsh. It turned out that she was understanding of her mother's poor health, but her mother could not understand her feelings in return.
For the first time in her life, she began to doubt whether her mother's illness was real or fake.
If that's true, why was he so energetic when he called to arrange the dance?
If it was fake, why did she see her family doctor with a frown every time she came back from studying abroad?
She didn't understand, maybe... maybe she was just in a good mood because of good things happening to her.
She lay silently on the wet pillow, and it took all her strength to prevent herself from jumping up, snatching the phone from her mother's hand, and telling her to shut up.
She fell asleep with regret and resentment, but still couldn't find the answer in her dreams. She could only frown all night and fall into a desperate nightmare.

At the Repulse Bay Villa, Yao Weihua ironed his custom-made suit and hung it up.
Keep it. You've already bought it, it would be a shame to throw it away. You can wear it to a cocktail party in the future.
It's ridiculous that he was prepared to negotiate with Mrs. Ni before he went there, but she didn't even give him such an opportunity.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling to be guarded against like a thief, and even to be prepared to kill him.
Yao Weihua, with a cold expression, called Lu Henian over and said in a deep voice, "Get me the birthday information of everyone in the Ni family's main branch."
"What do you want to do?" Lu Henian probably guessed it, but still found it incredible.
Yao Weihua sneered, "What do you think?"
He had never seen an elder use five or six guns to separate a couple.
In this case, if he doesn't reciprocate their "courtesy", wouldn't it be very uncivilized?
He took off the tie he had bought especially for tonight and threw it on the sofa. "Hurry up. I don't have the patience to wait when someone is holding a sword over my head."
