Chapter 398 Unyielding
Liu Xiong's words were not a suggestion, but a domineering command.
He doted on his granddaughter Liu Wanrong the most, and had tried countless times to persuade her to change her mindset, and had also tried every means to introduce her to talented young men.
But Liu Wanrong was determined to marry no one but Xiao Yunfeng.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yunfeng was so young yet already held a high position, given Xiao Yunfeng's status as an orphan, he would never have allowed his beloved granddaughter to marry into that family.
Despite the immense pressure from the Liu family, Xiao Yunfeng calmly repeated, "Old Liu, I have already made myself very clear. I have no romantic feelings for Liu Wanrong and will not marry her."
His tone was not harsh, but the meaning he conveyed was crystal clear, and his firm attitude left no room for negotiation.
Bang!
Liu Xionggang slammed his cane heavily onto the marble floor.
"Xiao Yunfeng, you're amazing!"
The aged, harsh voice sent chills down one's spine.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't even blink.
Seeing that his father was truly angry, Liu Jinwen quickly said, "Dad, calm down, let me talk to him!"
He had dealt with Xiao Yunfeng for so many years, and he knew Xiao Yunfeng's personality all too well. If they really broke off relations, it wouldn't benefit anyone.
Moreover, Xiao Yunfeng holds a high position and wields military power, so he is not someone they can easily manipulate.
He took a deep breath and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible.
"Yunfeng, you and Wanrong have known each other since you were young, and you've been through thick and thin together for many years. Even if you don't have romantic feelings for her, you should at least have friendship for her. Wanrong has been waiting for you all these years, and now she's an old maid. You can't bear to see her stay single for the rest of her life, can you?"
As a father, he was filled with helplessness and was willing to put aside his status and dignity as an elder, even if it meant begging Xiao Yunfeng to agree.
However, Xiao Yunfeng did not waver in the slightest because of his earnest words. "Uncle Liu, I have clarified to Liu Wanrong more than once that it is she who is unwilling to let go."
Moral blackmail had absolutely no effect on him.
Liu Jinwen's face was extremely ugly. So it was all just wishful thinking on the part of their Liu family's daughter?!
"It's too late to say all this now. The reality is that Wanrong is already over 30, and everyone outside knows about your relationship. No one else will be willing to marry her."
Xiao Yunfeng said expressionlessly, "This has nothing to do with me."
Liu Jinwen suddenly gripped the chair armrests tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
What utter nonsense!
Liu Jinwu, whose temper had reached its limit, stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with anger. "Xiao Yunfeng, don't push your luck! If you don't like Wanrong, why have you been dragging her along? If you don't like her, why did you have a relationship with her?"
"You think you can just take advantage and walk away? Do you really think our Liu family has no one left?"
We negotiated for a whole day, using both kind and harsh words, but this damn bastard just wouldn't listen!
In his opinion, there was no need to waste any more words. Regardless of whether the boy agreed or not, the marriage had to be finalized!
Liu Jinwen was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Liu Xiong Gang didn't seem to care either, clearly intending to use force against Xiao Yunfeng.
Xiao Yunfeng smiled instead of getting angry, his eyes growing colder. "I told you, I will not marry her."
