"Oh! Then I'll apologize in person when I have the chance in the future. " Qi Guofan said, "Xuanyue, I have another thing. Since the two children are already together and their relationship is very clear, I want to propose in person and settle the marriage of the two children. What do you think?"
After hearing what he said, Qin Haodong immediately understood what he meant. Every family master was extremely cunning, and Qi Guofan was no exception.
It was obvious that the Qi family wanted him to work for them through this marriage. Even if he didn't do anything, they could still raise the flag of marriage and rise in the capital. After all, no aristocratic family dared to provoke the strength of five ninth-level supreme power masters.
If he hadn't forced Qi Wan 'er to get engaged to the Zhao family, it wouldn't have been a big deal to help the Qi family. But after this incident, he was extremely disgusted with the Qi family.
If it weren't for his strong strength, Qi Wan 'er would have been forced to marry Zhao Hongkun at this time. He didn't want to let such a big aristocratic family take advantage of them at all.
However, he had stolen the bride in public. Now that he and Qi Wan 'er were together, it was reasonable for them to propose the engagement. It was really difficult for him to refuse. He didn't know how his mother would deal with it.
In the living room, Qi Guofan said again, "Although I'm old-fashioned, I'm not stubborn. I understand the behavior of young people nowadays. It's okay even if they live together before marriage."
However, we are also a prestigious family. It's not good for the two children to live together in such an unclear way. If the marriage is settled, it will be perfectly justifiable for them to be together. "
Chu Xuanyue said, "Master Qi, what you said is very reasonable. I think so too."
Qi Guofan was delighted and hurriedly said, "Xuanyue, do you have any objection to this marriage?"
"Wan 'er is a good girl. I like her very much. How can I have any objection?" Just when Qi Guofan thought that Chu Xuanyue was going to agree, he heard her change the topic. "Master Qi, it's just that the child's engagement is a big deal. I'm just a woman, so I can't directly make a decision for my son.
"Well, when the child's father comes back, as long as Zongheng enters the house, I will immediately tell him about it, and then we can get engaged in a grand way."
"I …"
Qi Guofan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Qin Zongheng had disappeared for more than 20 years. Although there was news of his return a few days ago, there was no news at all after that. No one knew when he would return.
"Niece Xuan Yue, look, this is just an engagement. I think you can make the decision on your own. There's no need for you to come back, right?"
Chu Xuanyue shook her head and said, "Master Qi, you just said that we are all big and prestigious families. Everything is decided by the men. For such a big thing as engagement, we must follow the family etiquette and wait for his father to come back."
Qi Guofan had only heard that Chu Xuanyue was extremely powerful. Today, he had personally experienced it.
However, he was not willing to give up just like that. With a cold face, he said, "Niece Xuan Yue, if that's the case, I don't think it's convenient for Wan 'er to live in your house. After all, it's not legitimate.
How about this? I'll take her back first. When Zongheng returns and our two families settle the marriage, it won't be too late to let Wan 'er come over. "
Chu Xuanyue sneered in her heart. This old fox was using Qi Wan 'er to force her to abdicate.
She was not anxious or annoyed. She said with a smile, "Master Qi, I also think what you said makes sense. But now Wan 'er and Haodong have gone out. I don't know when they will come back. They may come back today, or in ten days or half a month."
"If you have nothing to do, wait here for a while. When Wan 'er comes back, take her away immediately."
This time, Qi Guofan was completely dumbfounded. He had been beaten black and blue by Chu Xuanyue's Tai Chi, but he had no strength to fight back.
His granddaughter was a member of the Qi family. Unfortunately, her heart was not with the Qi family now, but with her son, which made him powerless.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, let's leave it at that for the time being. When Haodong comes back, apologize on my behalf and tell Wan 'er that the door of the Qi family will always be open to her. She is welcome to return to the Qi family with Haodong."
Chu Xuanyue said happily, "Master Qi, don't worry. I can still do such a small thing."
It was meaningless for Qi Guofan to stay any longer, so he left the Tang Sect with his people.
As soon as he left, Qin Haodong came over from the side and gave Chu Xuanyue a hug. He said with a smile, "Mom, your Tai Chi is so beautiful. I guess Wan 'er's grandfather's lungs are going to explode with anger, but he can't say anything."
"Of course. Don't you know who I am?" Speaking of this, Chu Xuanyue's face suddenly darkened. She said bitterly, "I really don't know where your father is now and why he hasn't come back yet."
"You're about to get married, but there's still no news from him. Now that we're reunited, he's the only one left."
"Mom, don't worry. I guess after the news of my return spreads, Dad will come back soon."
Qin Haodong said so, but he was not sure at all.
According to the news from the Deep Web, Qin Zongheng was either no longer alive or hiding in some deep mountain forest. The possibility of him knowing that he was still alive was very small.
While the mother and daughter were talking, the security guard at the door ran in again. There were too many people visiting today, which made him very busy.
"Boss, someone from the Chu family wants to see you."
Hearing this news, the mother and son looked at each other. Chu Xuanyue's expression immediately changed. She was no longer as calm as when she had just dealt with Qi Guofan.
Although she had long guessed that the Chu family would definitely send someone to visit, she still felt a little uneasy when they really came. It had been more than 20 years. Although they lived in the capital together, she had no contact with the Chu family. Today, they were finally going to meet again.
"Who is it?" Qin Haodong asked the security guard.
"He said his name is Chu Xuanli."
"Hurry up and invite him in."
Hearing that it was her elder brother, Chu Xuanyue immediately relaxed a lot.
In the Chu family, Chu Xuanli had the deepest feelings for her. When she was expelled from the Chu family, the only one who spoke for her was her elder brother. Unfortunately, he did not have much say in the Chu family.
She briefly introduced Chu Xuanli's situation to Qin Haodong and then said, "Be nice to your uncle later. It was your grandfather and grandmother who wanted to hurt you. Although your uncle wanted to protect me, he didn't have the ability."
Qin Haodong nodded. He was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and knew how to repay kindness. Since this uncle was good to his mother, of course he would be very polite.
At the same time, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. They sent a second-generation disciple who did not have much say to invite him. What did the Chu family think of him? Did they think that it was so easy to invite him?
Soon, Chu Xuanli came to the living room under the lead of the security guard.
"Elder brother!"
"Little sister!"
After being separated for 20 years, the brother and sister hugged each other tightly after seeing each other and burst into tears.
Although they lived in the same city, Chu Xuanli never dared to see his sister due to the restrictions of the family rules.
After a long time, the two of them slowly separated. Chu Xuanyue turned around and called Qin Haodong, "Son, come and meet your uncle."
"Hello, uncle!"
Qin Haodong bowed to Chu Xuanli.
"Good! Good! Child, you have grown up so much … "
After they chatted for a while, Chu Xuanli sat down and said to Chu Xuanyue excitedly, "Little sister, I have good news for you. Mom and Dad have finally agreed to let you go back to the Chu family. I'm here to pick you up this time."
After that, he thought that his sister would be ecstatic. Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanyue just nodded lightly and then said, "Elder brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't want to go back to that family, and there's no need for me to go back."
As she spoke, she recalled the heartlessness of Jin Xiuying and Chu Shanhe in the past and felt sad in her heart.
"Little sister, what are you talking about? The Chu family is your home. Everyone is looking forward to your return … "
Chu Xuanyue said, "Elder brother, don't lie to me. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that only you will welcome me back in the whole Chu family.
Especially Mom, she would never welcome a daughter like me back. She only has eyes for her son and those self-righteous rules of hers. "
Speaking of this, her eyes were a little wet. Other mothers had endless tenderness for their daughters, but her mother did not. She only had coldness.
Chu Xuanli said embarrassedly, "Little sister, don't blame mom. She's just like that."
"It doesn't matter whether I blame her or not." Chu Xuanyue said, "The most difficult time for me has passed. Now that I have a son, what's the need to go back?"
"But the Chu family is your home after all …"
Chu Xuanli still wanted to say something, but Chu Xuanyue directly interrupted him and said, "Elder brother, don't say it. The Chu family has kicked me out. This is my home."
"This … Little sister, do you really not want to go back? What happened in the past was all a misunderstanding. It's really a rare opportunity for mom and Dad to agree to let you go back. I'm afraid that in the future … "
Chu Xuanyue said, "Elder brother, you're a good person, but you're too honest. Do you think mom and Dad let me go back because of family affection?
That's not it at all. They want Haodong to work for the Chu Family because my son is promising. That's why they let us go back!
If my son was still an ordinary person, they wouldn't even look at me. Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it doesn't matter to them. "
"This …"
Although Chu Xuanli was loyal, he was not a fool. After hearing Chu Xuanyue's words, he understood the key.
Seeing that his sister really had no intention of going back, he sighed regretfully, "Alright then, since little sister is sure that you don't want to go back, then I'll leave."
He could tell that Chu Xuanyue was determined not to go back to the Chu family, so he got up and was about to go out.
"Uncle, wait a minute!"
Qin Haodong next to him
He suddenly stopped Chu Xuanli.
