Chapter 696: Oaths are not trustworthy
As soon as Baili Zhenxing finished speaking, Baili Zhenhua and others immediately expressed their agreement.
Baili Hengyuan also nodded, "Your uncle is right. Le Yao will definitely recover faster if she recuperates here."
"Of course, we don't object to her going back with your father, but not at this time."
Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao were a little anxious. They wanted to speak, but they received a look from Zhong Nianyao that told them to be patient.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I can take good care of my mom."
Zhong Nianyao was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, "Besides, my father and mother are not young anymore. It's time for them to plan for their future."
Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao exchanged a glance. They didn't know what Zhong Nianyao was planning, but they knew very well that they shouldn't interrupt at this time.
Baili Hengyuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"
"Actually, this time I went back, I also wanted to let my grandparents meet their daughter-in-law." Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Hengyuan and said, "Besides, I'm already this old, but my parents didn't even have a proper wedding. Isn't this a pity for them?"
After Zhong Nianyao finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
When Baili Hengyuan, Baili Zhenhua and the other two brothers looked at Baili Leyao, there was a hint of pity and heartache in their expressions. When they looked at Zhong Mingxin again, they became extremely disgusted and dissatisfied.
Zhong Mingxin was secretly annoyed at this moment. He felt that he should have been the first to bring up such a matter. Now that his daughter brought it up, it showed that he was really derelict in his duty and had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.
Baili Leyao had mixed feelings. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes showed kindness and other complex emotions.
She never thought that her daughter would be the first to bring up the wedding. As a woman, she naturally wanted to have her own wedding.
However, she and Zhong Mingxin were both not young anymore, and they had been separated for so many years due to various frame-ups. Now that they were finally reunited, all she wanted to do was live a good life. As for the wedding, she really hadn't thought about it at all.
"This matter..." Baili Hengyuan pondered for a while and then said, "But your mother's health..."
Baili Hengyuan was also torn. On the one hand, he was a little conflicted about Zhong Nianyao's proposal, but on the other hand, he didn't want his daughter to leave the Baili family so soon. At least... at least let her stay for a while, so that he, as a father, could get along well with his daughter!
"Grandpa, don't worry. Mom will be fine with me here." Zhong Nianyao blinked and continued to persuade, "Besides, Grandpa, are you planning to go with us?"
"What?" Baili Hengyuan was a little confused, as if he couldn't keep up with Zhong Nianyao's pace. "I won't join in the fun."
"Grandpa, everyone else doesn't have to go, but you absolutely have to go!" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "How can you not be present when discussing marriage? This is my mother's lifelong event. Are you sure you don't want to participate in the discussion?"
Zhong Nianyao's words made Baili Hengyuan feel a little moved.
Baili Leyao was his most beloved daughter. After so many things that happened to her, she finally woke up. Zhong Mingxin also came back, and they had a wonderful daughter, Zhong Nianyao. However, she and Zhong Mingxin still hadn't had a wedding.
As a father, he naturally hopes to see his most beloved daughter get married with his own eyes, and hopes to hand his daughter over to the person she loves.
Therefore, after hearing Zhong Nianyao mention the wedding, he couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.
Zhong Mingxin, who had been silent, stood up at this moment, walked in front of Baili Hengyuan, and knelt down directly.
Faced with Zhong Mingxin's sudden action, Baili Hengyuan's heart moved, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Zhong Mingxin who was kneeling there, with a dark look in his eyes, as if he could see through Zhong Mingxin's heart.
Zhong Mingxin wasn't afraid. He raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. "Uncle, I know Le Yao is an outstanding woman, and I'm not worthy of her. But I'm sincere about her, and I hope you'll agree to marry her to me. I can promise that I'll always treat Le Yao well."
Baili Hengyuan just kept staring at Zhong Mingxin, without saying whether he believed it or not.
Facing Baili Hengyuan's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart, Zhong Mingxin faced him fearlessly, without dodging or evading, without any fear or retreat.
After a long moment, Baili Hengyuan withdrew his gaze. He said calmly, "I don't believe in any oaths. As long as a person is alive, an oath can be broken."
Hearing Baili Hengyuan's words, Zhong Mingxin couldn't help but show disappointment on his face. However, he also felt that it was understandable. After all, Baili Hengyuan didn't know him well, so why would he trust him?
Baili Leyao was a little anxious, "Dad, I——"
Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Baili Hengyuan. He changed the subject and continued, "Oaths are not trustworthy. Only real actions can convince me. I'll give you a chance. I will see from my every move in the future whether I can really be good to my daughter."
"If you treat her badly, I will take her away immediately and you will never see her again."
After a dark period, there is always a ray of hope. Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao met and looked at each other, and saw joy and happiness in each other's eyes.
Although the two of them love each other very much, it is more important for them to get the blessing of their parents. Only in this way can they live happily together.
"Dad," Baili Zhenhua said with some dissatisfaction, "How could you agree to him so easily?"
"Yeah!" Baili Zhenye said, "Look at him, he looks so weak, how can he protect my little sister?"
Although Baili Zhenxing didn't say anything, his attitude was very obvious, the same as his other two brothers.
"Stop talking." Baili Hengyuan raised his hand and made a decision. "Since I've made up my mind, I won't change it. Besides, I'm just giving him a chance. As long as he treats your little sister badly, we will take her back immediately and never let them meet again."
