Feng Ruoxue shook her head, feeling genuinely sorry for Xie Ziyuan. "I'm not quite sure about this."
But subconsciously, she also felt that the Xie family would not refuse the marriage.
Although Xie Li was intelligent, she grew up in the countryside, and families with higher standards of living would look down on a girl like her.
If a child doesn't learn proper manners and values from a young age, wouldn't marrying them be a disaster?
The Huo family is now the most prominent and wealthy family in Linjiang City. Huo Yuntang is excellent in both character and appearance. This marriage is definitely a step up for the woman.
Xie Ziyuan pursed her lips slightly and didn't ask any further questions.
The air inside the car was somewhat still; everyone was stunned by the news.
Grandma Ding was the first to speak up, "No, I don't agree! The Xie family is using our Ziyuan as a stepping stone. How wonderful! They're pushing our Ziyuan out to win over the Huo family before their biological child even comes back, and then they'll immediately step on our Ziyuan to climb to the top once their biological child returns. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
She angrily called Xie Sidu, but his secretary answered the phone. Old Mrs. Ding was furious!
"They're deliberately ignoring my calls. Fine, this isn't over until the Xie family gives them an explanation!"
She turned to Ding Huizhu and said, "Huizhu, have someone draft a divorce agreement right now. The Xie family is ungrateful; let's get a divorce!"
"Divorce?" Ding Huizhu was startled. Even though she was still having a cold war with Xie Sidu, she had never thought about divorce.
"Of course we should get a divorce!" Old Mrs. Ding shouted angrily without hanging up the phone. "How has Xie Sidu treated you and your daughter? Does he ever care about your years of marriage? He doesn't want you and Ziyuan anymore. Why stay together for the New Year if you don't get a divorce?"
The secretary over there heard and understood everything Mrs. Ding said.
This was a serious matter and could not be taken lightly, so he immediately went to find Xie Sidu.
After hanging up the phone, Old Mrs. Ding clutched her chest, groaning, "The Xie family is trying to drive this old woman to her death!"
Ding Huizhu slowly realized that Old Madam Ding's earlier mention of divorce was to put pressure on the Xie family. She felt both angry and sad, and quietly waited for Xie Sidu to apologize.
Xie Ziyuan said softly, "Mom, please don't let my situation upset Dad. Grandma was just saying that in anger."
As she spoke, she helped Grandma Ding catch her breath and even took out a pill and fed it to her.
Grandma Ding felt a little relieved of the knot in her chest. "What are you saying in anger? If the Xie family doesn't give us an explanation, why can't we get a divorce? We want a divorce!"
If we don't put some pressure on the Xie family, they'll really think they're easy to bully.
Grandma Ding had made up her mind. This time, no matter what, she was going to force Xie Li to personally apologize to Xie Ziyuan!
——
Xie Li and Xie Zi'an were accompanying Grandpa Xie to the flower and bird market.
Grandpa Xie had been bedridden for more than half a year, but now that he's recovered, he enjoys going out and about.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, but the elderly person is not satisfied with the green plants delivered by the company they work with, and insists on personally picking out some flowers to take home.
The three of them hadn't been walking around for long when someone came up to them with a smile and congratulated them, leaving them all bewildered.
The man looked at Xie Li and said with a smile, "This must be your granddaughter. She is indeed beautiful. No wonder Young Master Huo was so nervous."
Old Master Xie's face instantly darkened. Only after the man sensed the awkward atmosphere and took his leave did he throw away the pendant in his hand.
"This is outrageous!"
