"What guards? You have no right to speak here. Where are your family's elders?" Jin Yun was so angry at Lan Ziye that he almost spit out blood. He asked harshly.
Ever since he learned that Lan Ziye, who appeared out of nowhere, blocked his daughter's way of marrying into the Chu family, he hated Lan Ziye so much that he wanted to beat him to death immediately. This time, seeing that Lan Ziye didn't take him seriously, he was even more furious.
"Parent?" Lan Ziye turned to look at Lan Wu and said, "Master Lan Wu, please come forward and let Uncle Jin have a good look!"
"Lan Xiaoqi is my son!" Lan Wu stepped forward and puffed out his chest. "If there's anything, just tell me!"
"Is this how you, the Lan family, apologize?" Jin Ruoxi stood up angrily and said, "Fifth Uncle Lan, my father invited Grandpa Lan this time, not you!"
"My grandfather doesn't even need to intervene in this matter. Our presence here is already giving your Jin family enough face. If Uncle Jin hadn't invited us, we wouldn't have come. After all, this is a matter concerning the Jin family's branch, and branch families should talk to each other!" Lan Yanfeng said, "Sister Jin, don't you agree?"
Lan Ziye walked over to the table, found a random seat, and sat down carelessly. He looked at Jin Ruoxi and her father with a look of sarcasm and said, "I never thought that a family as big as the Jin family would be so fussy. They even intervened in matters like a side branch son snatching a woman away. And it was the second-generation eldest son of the Jin family who stepped in. I really admire you! Do you really have so much free time?"
"You? What do you mean by stealing a woman? It's obviously your Xiaoqi who is shameless. He seduced someone else's fiancée and even wanted to elope with her! Lan Ziye, are all members of your Lan family so shameless?" Jin Ruoxi said angrily.
"Jin Ruoxi, have you figured this out?" Lan Ziye looked at Jin Ruoxi speechlessly. "First of all, Yin Xue'er hasn't been engaged to your Young Master Jin yet. She's still Miss Yin. Even if our Xiaoqi eloped with Yin Xue'er, it should be the Yin family that's going to settle the score with us, not your Jin family, right?" Lan Ziye laughed disdainfully. "How hard is it for your Jin family to find a wife? You haven't even got an engagement, and she's not even of marriageable age, yet you're already staking out a girl, afraid she'll run away?"
"You!" Jin Ruoxi's nose was almost crooked with anger. She pointed at Lan Ziye and said, "It's clearly Lan Xiaoqi's fault..."
"Everyone has their own actions and responsibilities. Our Xiaoqi has done something like this, so naturally he must give an explanation to the Yin family. I plan to take Xiaoqi to apologize in a few days when his injuries are almost healed. Of course, considering Miss Yin's reputation, his mother and I have already discussed it and will bring Lan Xiaoqi to propose marriage to the Yin family!" Lan Wu said confidently, "As for the marriage between the Jin and Yin families, this matter is not something we, the Lan family, can resolve. Whether your Jin family breaks off the engagement with the Yin family or competes with our Lan family, it's all up to you!"
Lan Ziye looked at Lan Wu in surprise. He didn't expect that this usually inconspicuous fifth son of the second generation of the Lan family would be so responsible and sensible. Lan Ziye was really happy for Lan Xiaoqi.
"You mean this matter has nothing to do with our Jin family anymore? We've made a mistake by coming to you?" Jin Youcai said anxiously. "Lan Xiaoqi blatantly stole my fiancée like this. How can I have the face to stay in school or Lanxuan City in the future?"
