Qin Da stood by the side, watching the entire situation unfold according to Ling Tian's plan without the slightest deviation! The shock in his heart was indescribable.
When Xiao FengHan proposed to cancel the marriage, everyone in the Ling family was shocked and had yet to recover from their shock. After a long while, Grandfather Ling slumped into his chair and said disheartenedly, "Forget it! Forget it! How can such a vile creature be worthy of Xue 'er? He has wasted her life. If he wants to cancel the marriage, then so be it. "
Xiao FengHan felt very apologetic in his heart. Seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law, who had gone through life and death with him, in such a miserable state, he also felt very uncomfortable. Apologetically, he said, "Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, FengHan has gone back on his words today. I really don't have the face to face elder brother and elder sister-in-law. This little brother will take his leave now."
Lin Zhan waved his hand dispiritedly and said, "What face is there to talk about? If you want to talk about not having the face to face, it's our Ling family that doesn't have the face to face elder brother. This matter is all because elder brother did not teach his grandson well, resulting in such a scandal. How can this have anything to do with younger brother? However … "
Grandfather Ling suddenly straightened his body and said loudly, "If the marriage has been canceled, then so be it. If you don't cancel it now, this old man will not be able to teach his grandson well in the future. Thus, I will take the initiative to cancel the marriage! Regardless of whether this marriage exists or not, it will not affect our brotherly relationship! Since this matter has been canceled, then it's over. However, younger brother, if you don't spend a few days with your elder brother in the capital, then this elder brother will treat it as if we don't have a brother like you! "
Xiao FengHan's eyes flashed and he said, "Of course. Since I've come to elder brother's house, this little brother will have to disturb you for a few days!" His heart also relaxed. After all, thirty years of brotherly relationship did not change because of this unhappy matter!
He clasped his hands deeply towards Old Lady Ling and said, "Elder sister-in-law, if this little brother has been rude, please punish him as you wish. This little brother is after all a grandfather and has to make plans for his descendants." His voice was very sincere.
Old Lady Ling smiled lightly and said, "Little Han, if the marriage is canceled, then so be it. You can't just abandon your elder brother and elder sister-in-law. Don't worry, elder sister-in-law's tolerance is not so narrow-minded. Little Han, you're still my most beloved younger brother. "
Xiao FengHan's eyes reddened and his heart. Elder sister-in-law's words. Elder sister-in-law is so magnanimous, this little brother really has nothing to say.
Thirty years ago, when the three of them roamed the world together, Old Madam Ling called Xiao FengHan Xiao Han. Because of this, the two of them even fought. Xiao FengHan refused to accept this name, but Old Madam Ling insisted on calling him Xiao FengHan. As time passed, Xiao FengHan had no choice but to call him Xiao FengHan Xiao Han Xiao Han Xiao Han Xiao Han Xiao Han Xiao Han Xiao Han.
However, as everyone grew older, Old Lady Ling did not call him by this name for many years. At this time, when everyone was already over seventy years old, Xiao FengHan once again heard this name from Old Lady Ling. For a moment, he could not help but think about the past. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, as if he had returned to those hot-blooded and frivolous days. It was as if his elder brother was still as high-spirited and strong as before, and his elder sister-in-law was still the beautiful young lady in white with her black hair draped over her shoulders. Thinking back to the happy times when the three of them were together, he could not help but fall into a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw his elder brother and sister-in-law's white hair and the deep wrinkles at the corner of their eyes. He could not help but feel a wave of pain in his heart. He thought to himself, "Even if we brothers meet every day and never part, how many days can we spend together?"
After a while, Xiao FengHan shouted, "Black-Robed Guards, go to the courtyard and bring my luggage over. The rest of you come over as well. In these few days, this old man wants to have a good drink with elder brother and sister-in-law." The two black-robed guards respectfully acknowledged and left.
Grandfather Ling laughed heartily, his unhappiness and dispirited mood instantly swept away. He said, "That's right. Even if we don't become in-laws, we are still good brothers. Brother, this decision of yours has suddenly made me like you more."
Grandfather Ling naturally could not let go of Xiao FengHan's annulment of the marriage so easily. Even now, he was still brooding over it. However, he did not blame Xiao FengHan. From Grandfather Ling's point of view, standing in Xiao FengHan's position, this decision was incomparably correct. Grandfather Ling only felt that his grandson was too disappointing and had let down his sworn brother's good intentions. In his heart, he secretly decided that when this matter came to an end, he would definitely teach Ling Tian a good lesson!
Old Lady Ling chuckled and said, "Little Han, there's something that elder sister-in-law will say first! “
Xiao FengHan was in a good mood and laughed, "Elder sister-in-law, if you have something to say, please say it."
Old Lady Ling chuckled, causing Xiao FengHan to suddenly feel his entire body turn cold and his hairs stand on end. He remembered that every time his elder sister-in-law came up with a wicked idea to teach him a lesson, she would reveal such an expression. It was indeed very familiar.
Old Lady Ling laughed and said, "Today, if you annul the marriage, elder sister-in-law will not reprimand you. However, if you go back on your words a few years later, elder sister-in-law will want you to kowtow three times to elder sister-in-law in front of everyone. How about it? This bet, do you dare to take it? "
Xiao FengHan laughed heartily and said, "Elder sister-in-law, are you sure you're not joking?" Looking at Ling Tian who was curled up in his grandmother's embrace, the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. He said resolutely, "This is absolutely impossible!"
Old Lady Ling snorted and said, "You're so sure? If it happens, what will you do? "
Xiao FengHan snorted coldly and said, "Elder sister-in-law, you don't have to force me. If after a few years, these two little fellows are still able to walk together under such circumstances, then I will kowtow to elder sister-in-law and admit my guilt. I will announce to the world that I, Xiao FengHan, have eyes but failed to see, mistaking jade for rubble. I will also give half of my Xiao family's fortune to Xue 'er's husband as dowry! Will elder sister-in-law be satisfied with this? "
Everyone looked at each other and paled! This bet could be said to be extremely huge! The wealth of the Xiao family could no longer be described as' rich enough to rival a country '. Even half of the Xiao family's fortune was far more than the wealth of a country! But when everyone thought about it, they felt that Ling Tian and Xiao YanXue were probably just talking about it. With the current situation, the possibility of Ling Tian and Xiao YanXue walking together after they grew up was infinitely close to zero! No matter how one looked at it, Old Lady Ling was the loser. Xiao FengHan was already in a situation where he would not lose.
Old Lady Ling chuckled and said, "Little Han, you must remember this. Of course, if they don't walk together, then this old lady will lose. Although our Ling family does not have as much money as your Xiao family, if this old lady loses, then half of the Ling family's fortune will be given to Xue 'er as dowry!"
Everyone could not help but be shocked! Could this old lady have become muddle-headed from anger? For the sake of fighting back, she actually gave away half of the fortune of the kingdom's largest family, the Ling family!
In everyone's eyes, if this bet was really carried out, then this Ling family's fortune would definitely be lost!
