"I was a little puzzled before," Jin Zonghai said at this time, "but it is an indisputable fact that my father has recovered from his injury! So, in my opinion, it should be because Xiao Chen's reputation as a useless young master was too famous. He studied medicine, but the two families didn't take it seriously. Moreover, no one asked him to treat them. So, the two families had no idea how good Xiao Chen was! At present, this is the reason that makes more sense. "
"You are right. It is indeed so. As the saying goes, it is darkest under the light. Under their eyes, Xiao Chen's shortcoming of being a useless person was magnified infinitely, but no one discovered his advantage of medical skills!" After hearing that, Jin Zongshan nodded in agreement. "Father, in this case, this Xiao Chen is really a talent. If he can join our Jin family, he will be the most powerful helper of our Jin family!"
"That's right! This is also the reason why I asked you to make the announcement! "Golden Fur Lion King said," How can icing on the cake be more important than providing timely help? Now, Xiao Chen is a thorn in the Cheng family's side. We made the announcement. At least, the Cheng family dare not do anything to Xiao Chen in the future. It can be considered as a small favor for us to help Xiao Chen! "
"That's true. At least, the Cheng family will stop here." Jin Zongshan agreed. "But won't they suspect our purpose?"
"Haha, we didn't make it clear. They may think that it is Jin Beibei's prank!" Golden Fur Lion King said with a smile.
In fact, after the announcement was made, all the families went back to study what was going on!
Among them, the strangest was the Xiao family!
At this moment, the Xiao family welcomed three guests. They were regular guests in the past, but now, they were rare guests!
The three of them were the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Tianqiu, and Cheng Tianqiu's two sons, Cheng Zhongming and Cheng Zhongfan.
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuanshan, and Cheng Tianqiu were sitting together on the main seats in the guest hall. Beside them was Xiao Yuanshan's son, Xiao Hai, and on the other side were Cheng Zhongming and Cheng Zhongfan!
"Brother-in-law, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Xiao Yuanshan's gaze towards Cheng Tianqiu was a little indifferent: "The fate between our Xiao and Cheng families has come to an end. You guys have mustered such a large force to come here today, it can't be that you are looking for trouble, right? My grandson has already been kicked out of the Xiao family. What more do you want? "
It could be seen that Xiao Yuanshan still had feelings for Xiao Chen. If it wasn't because he had no other choice, he definitely wouldn't do this. But now, the Xiao family felt like the sun was setting in the west. The eldest son, Xiao Feng, was nowhere to be found. The entire Xiao family relied on the second son, Xiao Hai to support them. And even if the Cheng family lost their youngest son, they were still like the sun in the sky.
"Haha, big brother Xiao's words are wrong. Although Xiao Feng has already passed away, she is still your sworn sister. You will always be my big brother!" Cheng Tianqiu laughed.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's get down to business." Xiao Yuanshan rubbed his temples. This mess that came one after another really made him a little frustrated.
"I heard that the Jin family made an announcement that they have become friends with Xiao Chen?" Cheng Tianqiu asked. He came to probe Xiao Yuanshan. He suspected that the Xiao family gave the Jin family some benefits to make the Jin family do this!
"I don't know. Since Xiao Chen is no longer a member of our Xiao family, then I haven't paid attention to what he does and who he interacts with for a long time!" Xiao Yuanshan said indifferently, "Moreover, isn't he working as a servant for Cheng Mengying? Why don't you just ask Cheng Mengying? "
"Haha, it's okay. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with you." Cheng Tianqiu didn't ask anymore. In fact, he called Cheng Mengying in the morning and asked what was the relationship between Xiao Chen and the Jin family.
Cheng Mengying's answer was that Xiao Chen and Jin Beibei were quite close, and the two of them were quite good friends. Therefore, the Cheng family had suspected that Jin Beibei was behind it.
It was basically impossible for a descendant of another family to influence the decision of the family. It was impossible even for the descendant of the family, let alone a woman!
However, the family structure of the Jin family was different from that of other families. Jin Beibei was deeply loved by Old Master Jin. Even Old Master Jin dared to hack the foreign playboy to death when he teased her, which explained a lot of things.
Therefore, when Jin Beibei and Xiao Chen played together, it would be easy and pleasant to ask Old Master Jin to make an announcement for them, wouldn't it?
Since it was not done by the Xiao family, Cheng Tianqiu didn't care too much about them. If Cheng Zhongfan hadn't mentioned it to him, he would have almost forgotten about Xiao Chen! He didn't care about his life or death! He came here today for another matter.
"Of course it doesn't matter. I wonder what brother-in-law has come for this time?" Xiao Yuanshan asked indifferently.
"Haha, one more thing. Although Xiao Chen is the descendant of that b * stard Xiao Feng, he has been driven out of the Xiao family. The Cheng family and the Xiao family can't cut off our relationship because of this. We have always been in an alliance!" Cheng Tianqiu said.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yuanshan didn't quite understand. Why did Cheng Tianqiu change from one moment to the next? What was his real purpose of coming here?
"Here's the thing. Zhongfan's son, Meng Qiang, is 15 years old. In the past, he would be married and have children. However, in modern times, although we are all from families that practice ancient martial arts, we still have to abide by the rules of the secular world. However, we can get engaged first!" Cheng Tianqiu said, "I heard that Xiao Xiao hasn't found a husband yet? Brother Xiao, why don't we play matchmaker? "
"Xiao Xiao?" Xiao Yuanshan finally understood the purpose of Cheng Tianqiu's visit. However, he felt that this matter wasn't so simple. There was something strange about it! Although it sounded impeccable, thinking about it carefully, a good horse doesn't return to the grass. This Cheng family broke off the engagement with the Xiao family and came to find the Xiao family for a marriage alliance. Although the target was different, it was equivalent to slapping themselves in the face. This kind of thing, under normal circumstances, the Cheng family wouldn't do it. Why did this Cheng Tianqiu say it out loud?
Actually, Cheng Tianqiu didn't want to come. He came here because of Cheng Mengqiang's request! Cheng Mengqiang was one of the more outstanding members of the Cheng family besides Cheng Zhongqian. Cheng Zhongqian's disappearance made Cheng Tianqiu sad, so he could only transfer his energy to Cheng Mengqiang!
In the past, although this third generation descendant was outstanding, he wasn't as outstanding as Cheng Zhongqian. Therefore, once Cheng Zhongqian took over the position of the family head in the future, Cheng Zhongqian's future son could be trained to be the third generation successor. Therefore, Old Master Cheng wasn't so anxious!
After all, if he trained Cheng Zhongqian and Cheng Mengqiang at the same time, there would definitely be problems! In the end, Cheng Zhongqian was only about ten years older than Cheng Mengqiang. It wasn't realistic to let Cheng Mengqiang take over Cheng Zhongqian's position. When that time came, it would inevitably cause a situation of internal strife. Old Master Cheng wasn't stupid. Naturally, he didn't want to see this situation happen.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Cheng Mengqiang before. But now, he had to help Cheng Mengqiang take over. Otherwise, wouldn't the Cheng family have no successor? Therefore, after Cheng Mengqiang was confirmed to be the third generation successor of the Cheng family, the Cheng family also had to choose a marriage partner for him.
However, Cheng Mengqiang firmly expressed that he liked Xiao Xiao. Cheng Tianqiu had just said that all the cultivation resources of the Cheng family would be given to Cheng Mengqiang so that he could grow up as soon as possible and become the pillar of the Cheng family! Therefore, he didn't want to reject Cheng Mengqiang's first request!
Anyway, the Cheng family and the Xiao family had a good relationship in the past. It wasn't a big deal for them to get married again, but it would be a little embarrassing! However, when people lived to the age of Old Master Cheng, those things like reputation and whatnot were not as important as family benefits.
Reputation was something that young and vigorous masters fought for. Cheng Tianqiu was an old fox. For the sake of benefits, he could even be shameless.
"Yes! It's Xiao Xiao! " Cheng Tianqiu nodded his head and said, "A fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire. After my family's Meng Qiang saw Xiao Xiao, he was shocked. So, didn't I, your brother-in-law, thicken my face and come to ask for your hand in marriage?"
"This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it and ask for Xiao Xiao's opinion." Xiao Yuanshan didn't immediately agree. He only expressed that he needed to think about it.
"Why do we still need to discuss this matter with Xiao Xiao? Parents' orders and matchmakers' words. As the elders, we only need to nod our heads! "Cheng Tianqiu saw that Xiao Yuanshan didn't agree and instantly felt unhappy in his heart!
The Cheng family was the head of the nine families. To be able to get married with the Xiao family again was already giving the Xiao family enough face. But this Xiao Yuanshan still used all sorts of excuses to reject it!
"We didn't discuss it in the past. In the end, Chen 'er's marriage didn't go so smoothly. A dignified fiancé has become a servant. Alas!" Xiao Yuanshan sighed. "That's why I said that there's a risk in a marriage alliance. You need to be careful when nodding your head!"
"…" Cheng Tianqiu's face darkened. He was just about to flare up when Cheng Zhongfan hurriedly pulled on Cheng Tianqiu's arm! If he really flamed up, there would basically be no room for negotiation. Cheng Zhongfan didn't want that to happen. He hurriedly said, "Father, Uncle Xiao is right. We should consider it!"
"Okay." Cheng Tianqiu took a deep breath, and then he said to Xiao Yuanshan, "Big Brother Xiao, think about it properly and give me an answer as soon as possible. Even you know that Meng Qiang is the third generation successor of the Cheng Clan, so there are plenty of people who can help him with matchmaking."
"Alright, I'll consider it carefully." Xiao Yuanshan nodded.
"Since it's like that, then we'll be taking our leave." Cheng Tianqiu brought Cheng Zhongming, who hadn't said a word from the beginning, and left the Xiao family with Cheng Mengqiang's father, Cheng Zhongfan.
"Xiao Hai." After they left, Xiao Yuanshan looked at Xiao Hai and said, "Tell me, what does Cheng Tianqiu want?"
"Want? What? "Xiao Hai was stunned." Isn't he here to propose marriage? "
