NOVEL WEB Chapter 3: Aren't we here to break off your engagement?
Certainly, upon learning that Nalan Yanran was Xiao Yan’s fiancée, Xiao Mei’s first reaction was to cause a scene and drive Nalan Yanran away, so that the vixen never to set foot in the Xiao Clan’s door again!
However, upon hearing Xiao Ning’s suspicion that the other party had come to break off the engagement, Xiao Mei glanced at the grandeur outside the Xiao Clan’s door and became increasingly displeased.
She agreed with matter about the other party breaking off the engagement with Xiao Yan’s, but Nalan Yanran should not have come with such a high-handed attitude, almost forcing them to agree to the breakup!
Everyone in Wutan City could see Nalan Yanran’s grand entrance today, and if the engagement were to be broken, where would Xiao Yan’s face go? Where would Xiao Zhan’s face go? Where would the face of the entire Xiao Clan go?!
Although Xiao Mei was extremely angry, she was helpless. They were only the clan juniors, and no matter how angry they were, they had no right to interfere in this matter.
“Xiao Mei, go to the training ground and bring Xiao Yan over. He has the right to know about this matter,” Xiao Ning instructed Xiao Mei.
If the other party really broke off the engagement, it was bad enough, but if Xiao Yan, the party concerned, found out about the fact and were not involved in the matter, that would be even more tragic.
“Okay!”
Xiao Mei nodded heavily and turned to the training ground to find Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Mei left, Xiao Ning turned to look at Xiao Xun’er and whispered, “Xun’er, you should have a way to resolve this, right?”
From a long time ago, Xiao Ning had sensed that Xiao Yan’s little sister was not an ordinary person. Many times, even their own grandfather, the Xiao Clan’s elder, had to act according to Xiao Xun’er’s wishes, which was enough to prove the power behind her.
“This is Xiao Yan gege’s (Chinese for big brother, like JP Ni-chan) own business, I won’t interfere,” Xiao Xun’er said, with a hint of killing intent in her eyes. “But the premise is that Nalan Yanran doesn’t go too far.”
In the end, it was a marriage arranged by the two elderly men without the knowledge of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. It was not unreasonable for Nalan Yanran to come to cancel the engagement.
But she chose to do it when Xiao Yan had lost his talent and was taken as a personal disciple by the Yunlan Sect’s Sect Master. This would not have been a problem if it weren’t for the fact that it was a marriage arranged by their elders, and Xiao Zhan wouldn’t be unreasonable. After all, the Xiao Clan and the Nalan family were not a good match, and canceling the engagement was understandable.
The problem was that Nalan Yanran made a big scene out of canceling the engagement, letting everyone in Wutan City know about it. She was trying to make it so that Xiao Yan could never lift his head in front of anyone in Wutan City again!
Even the younger generation such as Xiao Ning and Xiao Xun’er could see this, so how could Xiao Zhan and the three elders not see it?
But even if they understood, what could they do?
The Xiao Clan’s power was not even comparable to the Nalan family, let alone the Yunlan Sect!
If Nalan Yanran really wanted to cancel the engagement today, the Xiao Clan could only grit their teeth and swallow it, even if the other side slapped them in the face and smiled while presenting the other cheek!
The Yunlan Sect elder, Ge Ye, who came with Nalan Yanran, talked to Xiao Zhan for a long time, but never got to the point, which made Nalan Yanran a little impatient. She gave Ge Ye a slight glare.
Ge Ye sighed deeply in his heart.
It was not easy to offend someone, no matter who they were.
But there was no choice. Nalan Yanran was the Sect Master’s personal disciple, the future heir of the Yunlan Sect. This matter had to be discussed even if it was difficult to broach.
“Xiao Clan Leader.” Ge Ye slightly bowed his fist to Xiao Zhan and spoke slowly, “Actually, we came this time to discuss an important matter with you.”
Here it comes!
Xiao Zhan and the three elders felt a chill in their hearts, and their eyes also showed a hint of anger, mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness.
This was the current state of the Xiao Clan… facing such a behemoth like the Yunlan Sect, even if they were insulted and pressed down on the ground, they could only bear it.
Might makes right, and that’s how cruel this continent is.
No matter how angry he was in his heart, he still had to do his job.
“Hehe… Our Xiao Clan is weak and powerless, but if there is anything we can do to help, Elder Ge Ye can just ask.”
Xiao Zhan bowed to Ge Ye and Ge Ye spoke up.
“As you may have heard, Yanran has already become the personal disciple of our Yunlan Sect’s Sect Master. She will inevitably take over the entire Yunlan Sect in the future. However, we recently discovered that Yanran hasn’t been focusing on her cultivation, and after inquiring about it, we found out that she is troubled by the engagement arranged by her grandfather.”
“So what?”
Xiao Zhan suppressed his anger, feigning ignorance and absentmindedly clenching his fist on the armrest.
Ge Ye naturally saw through Xiao Zhan’s thoughts and, feeling a headache coming on, reluctantly spoke up under the urging gaze of Nalan Yanran.
“So regarding Yanran’s engagement to the young master, we hope…”
Ge Ye hadn’t finished speaking when a boy’s voice suddenly came from outside the reception hall.
“Father, did you call for me?”
Xiao Yan stood at the door of the reception hall and looked at his father, Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan was about to speak when Nalan Yanran suddenly stood up from her seat, staring in shock at Xiao Yan.
“You… You’re Xiao Yan?!”
“Who are you?”
Xiao Yan looked at the familiar girl and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized and pointed his finger at her.
“Little Glutton!!!”
“Who are you calling a little glutton?!!!”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s nickname for her, Nalan Yanran’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment and anger.
Everyone in the reception hall, both inside and outside, was stunned by this scene.
Looking at their appearance… Do these two young people know each other?
Just as everyone was wondering, the redness on Nalan Yanran’s face faded, and her expression became extremely serious. She turned to Xiao Zhan, bowed with her fists in her hands, and said firmly.
“Uncle! Yanran came here today with only one purpose!”
Upon hearing Nalan Yanran speak, Ge Ye immediately reacted and motioned to the servant to bring out the pre-prepared medicine as an apology, while also preparing to step in to save the situation at any time.
But what Nalan Yanran said next made him suddenly freeze in place.
“I hope to immediately marry into the Xiao Clan!”
???
For a moment, the entire reception hall fell silent, and Ge Ye’s face was full of question marks as he stared at Nalan Yanran in a daze.
Et to, Young mistress?
Wasn’t we come here to cancel your engagement?
How did it become a marriage proposal instead???
