"Yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing Wen Zhi's somewhat unusual reaction, Old Master Wen was surprised and immediately frowned in confusion.
How can this be?
Wen Zhi's pupils contracted, and she snapped out of her daze. Without thinking, she whispered, "No, I don't agree!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Wen was slightly taken aback, and said with some helplessness, "Zhizhi, this matter has been settled for a long time, why would you suddenly disagree?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Wen Zhi, somewhat confused as to what this had to do with her.
At this moment, Wen Changfeng's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
It's one thing for him not to want to get married, but it's another thing for others to object.
Fearing that Grandpa Wen would misunderstand her, Wen Zhi quickly explained, "Grandpa, it's not that I disagree with their marriage, but I feel that it might not be appropriate for Brother Changfeng to get married before my brother is married."
It's important to understand that marriages in wealthy families are mostly arranged unions, and traditionally, there's a strong emphasis on matching social status and maintaining a proper hierarchy.
Previously, marriages in the family were generally arranged in order of seniority, but no one had ever married before their elder brother.
If this gets out, Wen Huaiyan will likely be criticized.
Grandpa Wen understood the meaning behind those words and fell into deep thought. He rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I was so focused on Li Rao's growing belly that I thought it was time to give her an explanation, so she wouldn't look bad in her wedding dress with such a big belly. I was so anxious that I put Huai Yan's matter aside."
After all, in his heart, Wen Huaiyan was naturally much more important than Wen Changfeng, and he was somewhat conflicted for a moment.
Seeing that Grandpa Wen was indeed hesitant, Wen Zhi was delighted and took the opportunity to persuade him, "Grandpa, think about it, Zhiqing is the apple of the Fu family's eye. She is already engaged to my brother, but you are arranging the marriage with the Li family first. It will inevitably make them feel uncomfortable. We have already wronged them because of my brother's indecisive attitude. We can't let them suffer in this matter."
The implication of these words was to remind Old Master Wen not to offend the Fu family because of the small Li family.
Hearing this, Wen Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Why should Wen Huaiyan always be the one to take the lead? He subconsciously wanted to refute it.
"Master..."
But to his surprise, as soon as he opened his mouth, Old Master Wen looked at Wen Zhi and nodded, saying, "What you said seems to make some sense."
It's important to understand that, compared to the forced marriage with the Li family, the Fu family was their primary focus.
Upon hearing this, Wen Changfeng's expression changed, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
However, in order not to let Old Master Wen notice anything amiss, he suppressed his anger and did not show any obvious abnormality on his face.
You should know that he doesn't have much of a good impression on Old Master Wen anymore.
If I were to rashly step forward to argue at this moment and offend the old man, wouldn't that only make things worse?
But I still can't swallow this anger...
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, marriage is not a child's play. You'd better think it over carefully. The Li family members are not to be trifled with either."
After all, Grandpa Wen knew about the time when Sun Lan brought Li Rao to his house to cause trouble.
If the marriage with the Li family continues to be delayed, it will likely cause a lot of trouble and damage the Wen family's reputation.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen paused, clearly hesitant, and said thoughtfully, "Changfeng's words seem to make some sense..."
After all, both the Li family and the Fu family are future in-laws of the Wen family.
If you offend one side because of another, wouldn't that be a losing proposition?
Unexpectedly, Wen Changfeng, who was always obedient, suddenly stood up and contradicted Old Master Wen. Wen Zhi's face darkened, and she glared at him fiercely.
She then took a deep breath, walked up to Grandpa Wen, and whispered in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, please don't listen to my cousin. You've already given the Li family enough face by letting Li Rao into the family. How could they possibly cause trouble for the Wen family? Unless they're crazy. You should be worried about my brother right now. He finally agreed to his marriage with Zhiqing. You should hurry up and make arrangements for him. What if he changes his mind and wants to go after that bitch Li Ruo? It would be a huge loss, and things could change if you delay!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen was taken aback, realizing that it made perfect sense: "Yes, I can't let him go to see that woman Li Ruo again!"
After all, Li Ruo is currently in the eye of the storm, and her reputation is already bad.
He absolutely could not let Wen Huaiyan lose face for the Wen family because of this woman.
Thinking of this, Old Master Wen couldn't wait to tell Wen Changfeng, "According to the Wen family's tradition, let's wait until Huaiyan and Zhiqing are engaged before discussing your matter."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Wen Changfeng's face immediately fell, clearly showing his displeasure.
Seeing that Grandpa Wen seemed determined, he could only nod and flatter him, "Yes, Grandpa, you can decide everything."
