Chapter 548: A Show of Power
"That's right. If we had known this would happen, we would have let Nie Yao marry Ji Minghuan..." The second daughter-in-law Cui Zhen also echoed in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Nie Jinxi subconsciously clenched her fists. As long as she was around, she would not let Nie Yao have the qualifications to marry Ji Minghuan!
"Ten Ji families are no match for one Li family. What nonsense are you talking about?" Father Nie looked at the second son and his wife coldly, raised an eyebrow and asked in response, "You say the Li family is insincere, but at least they've made it clear. They've arranged for us to charter a special plane and fly us directly to the engagement ceremony..."
"Brother, is that all you can do? You're just being sent away on a special plane?" Nie Guanglin chuckled, then shook his head and sighed, "Marrying Nie Yao's mother wasn't that simple back then, was it?"
Father Nie's face darkened, and he was about to say something, but Elder Nie spoke again slowly: "Okay, you all don't have to quarrel anymore!"
Elder Nie paused at this point and said calmly, "Young people nowadays are different from us back then. They have their own ways of doing things. I've also felt Li Jinxing's sincerity before. He's sincere towards A Yao, so he decided to hold the engagement ceremony so quickly. It's a good thing..."
"Dad, I don't think this is sincere!" Nie Guanglin retorted with a disapproving curl of his lips.
"Yes, not to mention what kind of gift he gave to our Nie family, he didn't even give Nie Yao anything. After all, he is the famous Master Li Jiu!"
The second daughter-in-law also took over her husband's words, curled her lips and sneered: "I think he sent this invitation deliberately to intimidate us. Dad, don't rush all the way there!"
"Yeah, not only Dad won't go, we all shouldn't go either!" Nie Guanglin also said in agreement.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go, but A Yao is my daughter, I will definitely go!" Father Nie was a little annoyed and said decisively.
Nie Jinxi was a little hesitant. On the one hand, she wanted to stand with her biological father and not give Nie Yao face, but when she heard that the ceremony would be held in the mysterious Li Garden, she really wanted to go and see it...
"Brother, Nie Yao is your daughter. If you want to go, go ahead, but don't drag us down with you. I don't want to be laughed at if I go out!" There was a hint of sarcasm in Nie Guanglin's words.
Father Nie was so angry that his face darkened. He frowned and said, "Second brother, you don't have to go, but I don't want you, as A-Yao's uncle, to say anything unfavorable to her. If you really have the guts to do so, you might as well say it in front of Master Li Jiu!"
"I—" Nie Guanglin was speechless for a moment. Facing his elder brother's cold gaze, he could only shrug and answer angrily: "I want to say, but unfortunately Nie Yao is not my daughter..."
"Stop arguing. A-Yao is my eldest granddaughter, and she's engaged to Li Jinxing. I will definitely go, and you must go with me!"
Boss Nie waved his hand and ordered word by word in a deep voice: "None of you can ask for leave!"
"Dad..." Nie Guanglin wanted to say something, but he only received a cold look from Old Nie.
"Second brother, call your son, give him the address, and ask him to rush over to attend his sister's engagement ceremony!"
At this point, Elder Nie instructed Father Nie, "Also, inform Lin Anqi and ask her and her mother to be present. For something as important as an engagement, no member of the Nie family can be absent!"
Upon hearing this, Father Nie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go inform Lin Anqi and the others..."
