As the saying goes, one doesn't slap a smiling face. Although Jin Tiegang had served Fang Lan in Fang Town in a domineering manner, causing Fang Lan to hate him very much. Along the way, Fang Lan's anger had subsided quite a bit after Jin Tiegang's careful flattery. She wasn't like how she was in the beginning, when Jin Tiegang, a powerful cultivator, wouldn't say a word no matter how hard he tried.
"Mister Jin, I don't blame you for this matter." Fang Lan finally spoke.
"Miss Fang, it's great that you've thought it through …" Jin Tiegang's face lit up. If he succeeded in this matter, he would have a different place in Jin Ming's heart.
This was how people worked. Jin Tiegang was carrying Jin Ming's rice bowl, so he naturally had to think for his master. At the same time … he was also thinking for himself.
However, Fang Lan interrupted him, "Mister Jin, you don't understand what I mean. I don't blame you because you're also taking someone's money to get rid of a disaster. You're a member of the Jin Clan, so you naturally have to work for the Jin Clan. So … I don't blame you for this matter. But I will never marry Jin Ming, because I already have someone I like. He won't give up on me, and I won't give up on him either. "
Although Fang Lan's tone was gentle, it was extremely firm.
Jin Tiegang smiled bitterly and frowned slightly. He sighed softly, "Miss Fang, why do you have to do this? You're still young! I, Old Jin Chi, am older than you by a few years. Although I haven't achieved much, I've lived quite a good life. I can see many things more clearly than you. In the future, you'll understand that what I've said today is reasonable. "
"Mister Jin, I understand your reasoning, but when it comes to love, it's about mutual consent …" Fang Lan said faintly, "How can I force it?"
As Fang Lan spoke, she lifted the curtain of the carriage window, revealing her stunning face and her clear eyes, which were staring at Jin Tiegang.
Jin Tiegang's face revealed a helpless, bitter smile. He shook his head and glanced at Fang Lan, "Miss Fang, I have to refute what you said. You said that when it comes to love, it's about mutual consent? "
Fang Lan glanced at Jin Tiegang, "Isn't it?"
"Of course it isn't!" Jin Tiegang said with a smile, "Look at Silken City, there are so many rich and powerful clans, including my Jin Clan … I don't dare speak of it in other places, but in Silken City, it can be considered to be a large clan, right?"
Fang Lan nodded silently. Jin Clan wasn't just a powerful clan in Silken City.
Because Jin Ming had taken a fancy to her, Fang Lan had tried many ways to get rid of him, but all of them had failed.
But it was also because of this that she had a better understanding of what sort of colossus the Jin Clan was in Silken City. Fang Lan had heard that some of the Jin family's disciples had even entered the Spiritual Realm's top sects. Fang clan, legend had it that there, Clan, and Clan.
It was an that. It. Fang, Lan, the clan, an,'s Lan, to, Lan, Lan,
Unless she wanted her family to be completely annihilated, there was no way she could escape this marriage that she was completely unwilling to accept.
Jin Tiegang continued, "But even in the Jin Clan, the children of such a clan, especially the children of the first wife … Their marriage matters cannot be decided by themselves!"
Fang Lan was slightly stunned and seemed to feel it was inconceivable.
Jin Tiegang sighed. "If it's up to you, then I believe the Eighth Young Master … would make you his legal wife!"
Even though Fang Lan didn't like Jin Ming at all, as a woman, she would still be moved when a man attached so much importance to her. So, Fang Lan could only maintain silence when facing Jin Tiegang.
"No matter if it's the Eighth Young Master, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, and the others … Including those little princesses of the clan, all of them are powerless to resist! They have to obey the clan's rules. If they're able to encounter a marriage partner that suits them, then it's simply a gift from the heavens. Otherwise, it's possible that the two of them wouldn't have much interaction throughout their entire lifetimes. But they have no choice but to be bound together because of benefits. Young Miss Fang, do you think … they're free? If they could choose, would they choose? " For the sake of getting on good terms with this future Young Mistress, Jin Tiegang could be considered to have thrown caution to the wind, and he was simply confiding his heart to her.
Fang Lan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and she became extremely silent.
Jin Tiegang didn't continue to say anything, because he knew that this girl was very smart. Although she might not be able to accept it for the time being, she would eventually come to her senses.
Was it better to marry a poor lad from the town who had no future? Or to marry a young master from a rich and powerful family? Different people might make different choices, but from the perspective of a bystander, out of ten people … there would probably be eight who would choose the latter.
Marrying a young master from a rich and powerful family might not lead to a perfect love, but marrying a poor lad from the town … Would there definitely be love?
After all, marriage contained more than just love.
In the horse carriage, Fang Lan's heart was as firm as ever at this moment. She firmly believed that her sweetheart would never give up on her, and neither would she.
Outside the horse carriage, the guards of the Jin Family secretly gave Jin Tiegang a thumbs-up, praising him in their hearts for his brilliance. Not only was he powerful, but he also had a glib tongue that could almost bring a dead person back to life. It was obvious that he had kidnapped a girl, but he made it sound as if he had given the other party a chance to ascend to heaven. That was really impressive.
However, there was not much complacency on Jin Tiegang's face. Before he entered the Jin Family, he was also a high-spirited and hot-blooded young man, who also had a childhood sweetheart.
However, his story was a little more tragic. His sweetheart was not kidnapped by others, and she voluntarily left with a young master from a big family in the town. This matter was a great blow to Jin Tiegang, so he devoted himself to cultivation. Later, by chance, he entered the Jin Family and became an ordinary guard of the Jin Family. Because he was good at work and had a good talent, he was appreciated by the head of the Jin Family. He was rewarded with foundation-building materials, was given the surname Jin, and was promoted to be a steward. Being by Jin Ming's side was like reaching heaven in a single bound.
When Jin Tiegang was in high spirits, he had also thought about how his childhood sweetheart would react if he were to meet her again in this day and age. So he really did that. He led a large group of people back to his hometown and saw the girl he first fell in love with.
He saw the girl's family kneeling in front of him while trembling with fear, saw the girl begging him, saying that it was all her fault, and asked him not to make things difficult for her husband.
At that moment, he didn't know why, but the pleasure of revenge didn't come as expected. On the contrary, in the depths of his heart, a strong sense of loss and an absurd sense of boredom surged up.
"If I was as rich and powerful as I am today, she wouldn't have left me. Unfortunately, I was just a poor boy at that time. I just chose a better path, is that wrong? "Jin Tiegang asked himself honestly. If it was him, he would probably make the same choice.
So, he didn't make things difficult for the family member who was careful in front of him, nor did he humiliate the girl's husband, nor did he take another look at the girl.
He just smiled lightly and left with his people.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't turn around to look at the girl.
But he could feel that the girl was always looking at his back.
From then on, the once naive and simple poor boy of a small town, Jin Tiegang, died, and the one who lived was the high and mighty steward of the Jin Family in Silken City.
In next to no time, the group arrived at a valley. Jin Tiegang who rode on the horse suddenly looked at the verdant mountain in the distance, and he frowned slightly.
