"Go away... I'm fine." Jiang Rourou originally thought that Zhong Tianba had left and returned, but the moment she looked up, she was surprised by the face in front of her. She knew that this man was from the Xie family.
She quickly fixed her hair, looked up with red eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now, and I thought you were... so I said some harsh words, please don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, it's just one word, I don't mind." Xie Liunian smiled, and his deliberately softened voice made him seem even more gentle.
But he was thinking about something in his mind, and he needed Jiang Rourou to help him.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Rourou." Jiang Rourou stood up and gave what she thought was a perfect smile, but she didn't know that her makeup was messy because she had just cried.
Xie Liunian was good at coaxing women. He reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"My name is Xie Liunian. Girls should be happy. It's not worth crying for someone who is not worthy."
"Yeah, I see."
"I have something to do in the front hall, Miss Jiang, see you later."
"Okay." Although Jiang Rourou was reluctant, she had no reason to keep him now.
Jiang Rourou's originally depressed mood also improved a lot. She suddenly had a new plan. She wanted to marry Xie Liunian. In terms of family background and status, Xie Liunian was much better than An Chen.
Doesn't Shen Shiyi like to compete with her? Then she will let Shen Shiyi see that the man she finally marries is still better than Shen Shiyi's man!
With this idea in mind, Jiang Rourou found her parents again and persuaded them to mention the matter to Mr. Xie.
After Mr. Xie talked with the Jiang family, someone told them the entire situation at the banquet, including the fact that Xie Liunian had just privately invited Shen Shiyi to dance, and what Shen's father said.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Let me push you downstairs for a walk. Brother Yunian might not come."
Xie Liunian looked at the time on the clock. He could have cut the cake a long time ago, but this old man insisted on waiting for Xie Yunian to come before he was willing to cut it.
"No hurry, Liunian, sit down, I have something to tell you." Old Master Xie's expression was indifferent. He knew his grandson's personality well and knew he would definitely come.
"What's wrong?" Xie Liunian, who was sitting next to him, became nervous unconsciously. He could sense the old man's seriousness.
“You just went to invite Shen Shiyi to dance.”
"Thank you, Grandpa. Please listen to my explanation. What I did just now was not my intention. I just wanted to help you motivate Brother Yu Nian. I know you really want him to come to your birthday party."
There was no trace of guilt on Xie Liunian's face, he looked calm as if it was just the way it was.
He would consider the consequences first for everything he did, because he knew too well that he could not afford to lose. The biggest difference between him and Xie Yunian was that Xie Yunian was the grandson of the Xie family.
So Xie Yunian can lose countless times, but if he loses once, he will lose everything.
It's really... ridiculous.
"Really? It's really not that you have any opinion about Shen Shiyi and want to snatch the person Yu Nian likes?" Mr. Xie looked serious.
Xie Liunian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if all his thoughts were known by Old Master Xie. He gritted his teeth to control his nervousness.
"Grandpa, I definitely don't mean that. Not to mention that I have no opinion of Shen Shiyi, just because she is the person Brother Yunian likes, I won't have any thoughts about Shen Shiyi!"
"That's perfect, Liunian. You're not young anymore. Do you have a girl you like? I'll make the decision for you. I've been neglecting your marriage for so many years."
Mr. Xie seemed to have no doubts anymore, but these words made Xie Liunian clearly realize that the old man did not believe him.
Xie Liunian knew that if he refused the old man's help, it would make the old man even more suspicious.
Xie Liunian forced a smile and said, "I don't have anyone I like. Grandpa Xie, you can make the decision."
"Okay, what do you think of the child from the Jiang family? Just now, someone from the Jiang family came over and said that his daughter is interested in you."
Old Master Xie's eyes were fixed on Xie Liunian. Although it was a casual look, it made Xie Liunian feel pressured.
He could reject Jiang Rourou, but he couldn't guarantee that the next person would be easier to control than Jiang Rourou.
Xie Liunian now felt a little regretful for provoking Jiang Rourou. He had no intention of marrying her, he just wanted to keep her hanging.
"Don't you like her? It doesn't matter. I'll ask someone to look out for other girls for you." Mr. Xie had a very easy-going attitude.
"I have something to dislike, Grandpa, let's pick her." Xie Liunian spoke quickly.
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange things for you later, Liunian. I don't ask you to remember the kindness the Xie family has shown you, but Yunian is my only grandson."
Old Master Xie patted Xie Liunian's shoulder, and his expression became much more relaxed than before.
"Well, I know. Don't worry, Grandpa Xie. I will definitely help Brother Yunian and will never argue with him. I won't touch the person he likes, even if I want to provoke him. It won't happen again."
Xie Liunian immediately spoke out to state his position, and he spoke seriously.
Mr. Xie did believe it. Perhaps what happened on the cruise ship last time was an accident, and Liunian didn't want to anger Yunian. It was just an exaggeration from the outside world.
"Good boy."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll go check if Brother Yunian has arrived. Birthdays always require cutting the cake."
"good."
After Xie Liunian came down from upstairs, his face changed instantly. The old immortal was so cruel to him that he didn't even think of giving him any of the Xie family's property.
Unfortunately, Xie Yunian will never have the chance to inherit the Xie family, and he will not let Xie Yunian come back.
The much-missed Xie Yunian did show up at the scene, but he was just sitting in the yard.
When Xie Liunian found him, Xie Yunian was having fun with a few grasshoppers.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xie Liunian's eyes. What a waste! He didn't use the big birthday party to make connections but just sat here playing with a few broken bugs.
Xie Liunian quickly put away his unkindness and smiled.
"Brother Yunian, why don't you come in now that you're here? Grandpa has been waiting for you to come before cutting the cake."
Xie Yunian didn't even raise his head, but the grasshopper in his hand was very restless and jumped onto Xie Liunian's cheek.
Xie Liunian's face froze instantly. He was about to get angry, but then he heard a rustling sound behind him, which was made by the wheelchair rubbing against the ground.
After all, he had been with the old man for a long time, so he could hear it.
Xie Liunian suppressed his anger and said softly, "Yunnian, do you still want your grasshopper? If not, I flicked it away."
"This is for you." Xie Yu sneered, and naturally he also saw the old man behind him, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Yunnian! Now that you're here, don't you want to come in and sit down?" Old Master Xie called out.
"Just passing by." Xie Yunian didn't stop.
"The person you like is so close to An Chen, and there's suspicion of a marriage arrangement between them. Don't you have any thoughts at all?" Mr. Xie continued.
