The old man's eyes reddened and he almost cried.
To this old man, he lost his son and daughter-in-law when he was in his seventies.
His only support was his granddaughter, but he almost lost her. The ups and downs were too big.
Xunmi patted Nian Zheng's back and comforted him softly.
"Grandpa, I was too rash this time. I'm sorry for making you worry. I promise, it won't happen again."
Xunmi helped Nian Zheng to sit down. He held his granddaughter's hand and was very comforted.
He thought that after his granddaughter woke up, even if she wasn't corroded by hatred, she would still have some resentment.
However, looking at his granddaughter, who had a noble bearing and acted as if nothing had happened, Nian Zheng was completely relieved.
Then, he remembered the banquet tonight. He heard that the two of them were getting engaged.
"Xiao Xun, you … you … now …"
He carefully observed his granddaughter's expression. Seeing that there was nothing different, he decided to go all out and open up the wound once and for all. Only then could it heal better.
"Are you still thinking about that person? He's getting engaged with the one from House Yu tonight."
"You …" Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Xunmi. "Grandpa, do you think your granddaughter is that blind?"
"The only reason I liked that scumbag before was because he was nice to me."
"After all, I live alone. I don't have many friends around me, let alone someone close to me."
"That's why I was curious about his passion. That's why I let him jump around."
"A flawed product is still a flawed product. No matter how much you polish it, it won't become a good product."
Xunmi sneered. Who was Yi Ling? He couldn't even compare to a finger of her husband.
Nian Zheng kept looking at his granddaughter. He realized that she was really as she said, smiling happily.
"Good, my granddaughter should be like this. How can that kind of thing be worthy of my beautiful granddaughter?"
If it wasn't for his granddaughter, he wouldn't have known what happened on planet CJ-31.
He wouldn't have known about Yi Ling. Such a short-sighted man wouldn't be able to achieve anything big.
"Grandpa, I'm going to the banquet tonight." Xunmi hugged Nian Zheng's hand and said expectantly.
Nian Zheng's gaze sharpened. "Who is Xiao Xun?"
Xunmi's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Her face was pure, but the words she spoke were inexplicably chilling.
"I have to recoup my lost time, right? How can I let them off so easily?"
"How much did Yi Ling swallow of me back then? I want him to spit it out, skin and bones included. I, Nian Xunmi, am not someone that can be easily bullied."
In the end, the original owner dug her own grave and implicated her grandfather. Wasn't it because of these two people?
Of course, she also had to bear half of the responsibility. If she had let go of it and started a new life, there might not have been those things after that.
However, if she were to put herself in Xunmi's shoes, she wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
Nian Zheng nodded in satisfaction. It seemed like his granddaughter had really seen through those troublesome things.
"Alright, the invitation is in Grandpa's study. Xiao Xun, go and get it yourself."
"Grandpa will be here later. I have to deal with some matters first."
Initially, he didn't plan to come back, but his eyelids kept twitching. He had a feeling that something was going to happen.
He couldn't help but worry, so he came back to take a look. He didn't think that there would be such a surprise waiting for him.
Xunmi nodded. Her obedient appearance melted Nian Zheng's heart.
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted for a while, then went to do their own things.
Since she was going to attend tonight's banquet, then she could only do it as Nian Zheng's granddaughter.
After tonight, her past definitely wouldn't be able to hide.
Therefore, she had to make the first move, so that those people wouldn't have the chance to turn around.
House Yu was a good choice. The marshal had already passed away, and there was only a young marshal left.
He was still a weak one. Why not give up his position to someone stronger?
An invisible smoke began to fill the air. It was just waiting for the right moment to invade and drown.
Clothes were fragrant and hair were beautiful. The lights intertwined and the wine glasses were glazed.
The extravagant lighting and the luxurious palace-style banquet hall made this banquet even more eye-catching.
Si YuFan was wearing a slim blue double-breasted suit. Dark black stripes were hidden in it, and he was tall and muscular.
His face was like ice, and his thin lips were lightly pursed. It was said that people like him were the most fickle.
His eyes were like the depths of the deep sea, with no end in sight. Layers and layers of whirlpools could make people fall into them.
However, the ends of his eyes were slightly raised, and light shone out from the depths of the abyss.
Between his light-colored fingers was a dark red liquid. He casually leaned against the railing, but everyone's eyes followed him.
The aura around him was dangerous and sharp. It also had the allure of a poppy. They wanted to get closer.
Even if they knew that it was a bottomless abyss, they didn't want to stop.
Si YuFan ignored all the gazes. He was in a bad mood.
He couldn't even find a single person. It looked like his subordinates needed to be trained.
The Silver Wolf Army, who were being targeted, felt a chill run down their spine.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance. It was as if something had caused a commotion.
Almost everyone looked over, wanting to see what was going on.
Si YuFan also looked over with a lack of interest. He originally thought that it was some kind of joke.
However, he didn't think that that one glance would become an eternal memory of his life.
The person who came was wearing a dark red sleeveless evening gown. It accentuated her white skin.
Under the moonlight, it gave off a cold feeling. Her peach blossom eyes were misty, and her smile was flirtatious.
Her moist red lips looked as if they were dyed with blood. Her delicate face looked as if it had drunk blood.
She constantly tempted, seduced, and charmed people. It was dangerous, but it made people unable to stop.
That perfectly tailored robe perfectly outlined the person's slender waist and perky buttocks, without the slightest bit of difference.
She smiled wantonly as she slowly walked towards the crowd.
Every step she took seemed to step on the hearts of many people. They all stared at the person who was comparable to a queen.
She was more dazzling than the sun. She was even more magical than the most beautiful rose.
XunMi slightly nodded her head and smiled at the people present.
"Good evening everyone. I am Nian Xunmi. This is my first time attending a banquet. I hope I won't cause any trouble."
Her clear and elegant voice dispelled all the annoyance from the crowd.
"Nian Xunmi. What a good name."
"Hey, which family is she from? How come I've never seen her before?"
"She's so beautiful. She must be from a noble family or someone important."
"Yeah, she has such a good temperament."
These people were all mesmerized by Xunmi's beauty.
"Tch, didn't you hear her say that this is her first time attending? She must be from a small family."
"Yeah, yeah. What's so great about her?"
These people were obviously jealous of Xunmi. Who told her to steal the limelight from these noble ladies?
