Having offended Feng Rujiao, she still managed to live well in Yuan Cheng, even causing him to hit a wall. Such a woman is indeed suitable to be the Nie Family Head.
The old man’s expression softened slightly, but his tone remained filled with disapproval. "No matter how capable she is, without the backing of the Feng Family, you should understand better given your position that one person's power is limited."
The marriage contract between our Nie and Feng families is deeply intertwined with mutual interests. This contract cannot be broken, nor should it be. If Yun Zhi Yue had any sense, she wouldn’t put you in such a difficult position.
The head of the Nie Family can only be Feng Rujiao. As for this Sister Three, if you find her useful, then navigate through that relationship. We all come from distinguished backgrounds; she should be able to understand your situation. Grandfather believes you can handle it well.
Nie Xi's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but her face wore an expression of shock. Did Great-Grandfather mean for her father to marry Ru Jiao and for Yun Zhi Yue to become my stepmother? It’s not like we live in a polygamous society; that would be too disgraceful.
It would be better if I married her myself. After all, we would both enter the Nie Family; what difference does it make who marries whom? I’ve been living at her house in Yuan Cheng, and Yun Zhi Yue likes me.
Nie Zhuiqi’s face twitched in disbelief. "This is simply absurd! You have no manners at all. When adults are speaking, how dare you interrupt? Go back and reflect on your behavior!"
Nie Xi replied aggrievedly, "Grandmother, I just want to ease my father's worries and repay the kindness of raising me. I’m not talking nonsense; Yun Zhi Yue really does like me."
When I was sick at her house, I slept next to her. We are clearly closer; I have no intention of competing with my father. Isn’t he planning to marry Ru Jiao?
Since the Nie Family needs her and I like her too, wouldn’t marrying her be just right?
Nie Zhuiqi’s face darkened with anger. Marrying your father’s woman—how is that ‘just right’?
She raised her hand as if to strike Nie Xi but was stopped by the old man’s reprimand: "Stop right there! What kind of behavior is this? Where is the dignity expected of a daughter-in-law? If Nie Xi lacks upbringing, that reflects poorly on your entire family. Before getting angry at him, you should reflect on yourself first."
Yin Ya lowered her hand and quickly bowed respectfully. "Father is right; it is indeed the daughter-in-law who has acted improperly. Nie Xi has spoken out of turn; we cannot excuse him just because he is unwell."
Perhaps we should send him abroad for further study; their medical facilities might be more advanced. Who knows? They might even cure this child.
Nie Zhui’s father, Nie Xiao, exuded an elegant demeanor, cultured and refined without a trace of a businessman’s shrewdness or sharpness.
"Father," he said gently, "Nie Xi has a point. For the sake of the family, we shouldn’t sweat the small stuff."
Since Yun Zhi Yue likes Nie Xi, why not let them spend time together? Whether it leads to marriage or simply a close relationship will not harm the Nie Family. As for any gossip—who would dare speak openly against us when our clan's interests are at stake?
The old man felt reassured: "You are indeed steady-minded. It should always start from family interests; there’s no need to rush into conclusions about how things will unfold at the Feng Family banquet. I want to personally observe these three vulnerable children."
Nie Langyuan, since you’ve returned, don’t think about leaving again. The Feng Family has invited many people to this banquet; I plan to betroth Bai Jia Nu Bai Linglong to you. You will meet at the banquet first and then hold an engagement ceremony afterward.
Never did he expect that this fire would ultimately burn him instead. Gathering his courage to refuse, he found himself stifled by his family's indifferent gazes.
A bitter smile flashed across his eyes as he obediently replied.
He lacked the ability to take charge like an older brother, and he didn't have the courage to resist the pressure from his family. If even Brother He found it difficult, what right did he have to say no?
