C41 Engagement

Seeing Xiao Yun's persistent look, the Xiao family's old patriarch's heart was filled with rage.

"I tell you, why don't you understand? What kind of identity is she, and what kind of identity are you? That's not right. How could you be together? Besides, the heir to our Xiao family must not be associated with a female assassin. You are my most proud grandson, how can you do something that would shame the Xiao family? "

"Heh." Xiao Yunyi sneered, "Actually, what you're most afraid of is me humiliating the Xiao family. What you care about is not me, but the Xiao family."

Staring sternly at Xiao Yunyi, Xiao Jianan pursed his lips, "How can you say such a thing? I am doing this for the good of the Xiao family, but from now on, the Xiao family will be in your hands. "

"What if I say 'don't care'?" Xiao Yunyi also expressed his attitude. "Grandfather, don't say anymore. I won't separate from her."

"Heh, good, good." The Xiao family's old patriarch was angered by his attitude, "Since you said that, then you must consider yourself. Have you considered her? I've found out everything about her, including her background. "

Seeing that Xiao Yunyi was looking at him with a slightly astonished expression, Old Man Xiao continued to say —

"Something big has happened at Lin Shengkun's base, do you think I wouldn't know? Ever since the rumors about you spread, I had someone investigate him and Mu Yaran came to find me. She said that there was a woman staying in your villa, which further confirmed your thoughts about her. From what I remember, you never brought any woman back to your villa. Even if Mu Yaran went there, you wouldn't feel warm or cold. Didn't you say that you thought you could hide it from me? Her appearance is a good thing for you, but it might not be so for the Xiao family. "

Xiao Yunyi became silent. The Xiao family's old patriarch became even more unyielding: "After separating from her and breaking off their relationship, if you send her away, you can do so in any of the cities within the country or abroad. Just don't let her appear in front of you again. After all, you don't owe her anything in the first place.

Xiao Yunyi's eyes were filled with a conflicted expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not."

Xiao Jianan didn't expect Xiao Yunyi to be so resolute.

But Ginger said, "Okay, you don't have to send her away. Then, you can get engaged to Mu Yaran and get married at the end of the year. I can allow her to stay with you, but she can't have any status. If you can't even do that, don't blame me for being ruthless. Although I love you, the interests of the Xiao family are more important. "

Xiao Yunyi opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Jianan with a wave of his hand, "You guys don't need to say anything. I personally taught you and I understand you. You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me right now. You can only agree or refuse, but you have to consider the consequences. Old Lu probably told you that when we were at the door. Young man, make your choice, don't make yourself regret it. "

Xiao Yunyi suddenly raised his head to look at Old Man Xiao. His expression was miserable, and deep resentment was hidden in his eyes.

The Xiao family's old patriarch noticed this, but purposely didn't point it out. He turned around and continued to work on his plants, leaving some time for Xiao Yunyi to think.

After an unknown amount of time, the Xiao family's old patriarch shifted his attention back to Xiao Yunyi, calmly looking at him.

The latter fiercely shut her eyes, her lips quivered a few times as she said in a hoarse voice, "I want her to stay by my side. I agree to get engaged to Mu Yaran, but I won't marry her at the end of the year."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yunyi opened his eyes and looked directly at the person in front of him.

Knowing that he had forced him into a witty situation, Xiao Jian An didn't want their relationship to get any worse, so he agreed to his request.

"Then get engaged, and we'll talk about it later. However, I have a condition that you must let Mu Yaran stay in your villa as well. "

Xiao Yunyi's eyes widened as a look of shock flashed past them, but he quickly calmed himself down. "Haha, that's right. This is what's fair."

His tone was full of ridicule, "I agree. Let her come, but I can't guarantee what will happen when she comes."

With that, he turned around and left without any hesitation, not even sparing a glance at Xiao Jianan.

Lu Zihao had been waiting at the door for Xiao Yunyi to come out. He knew that this negotiation was not going to end well. He opened the car door and the two of them quickly left the house.

"Boss, where are we going now?" Lu Zihao asked.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yunyi said, "Let's go home."

He had never had such an urgent desire to see Lan Xi before. He wanted to ruthlessly hug her in his arms to prove her existence and keep her by his side.

The old man was right. He couldn't touch himself, but he could make a move against Lan Xi.

Since Lin Shengkun had dared to publicize the matter of saving Lan Xi in his own territory, he did it so that the old gramps could deal with Lan Xi and take revenge on him. But who would've thought that before the old tutor even made a move, he'd be moved here by his subordinates?

"Have your men track Lin Shengkun's whereabouts. Report any findings to me immediately."

Xiao Yunyi gave the order to Lu Zihao. Although he had lost, the Hundred Feet Worm did not die, so Lin Shengkun's strength could not be underestimated.

Lan Xi was so bored while staying in her room that she went downstairs to take a walk in the garden. In the end, she met Mu Yaran, who had come to cause trouble.

The two of them were very unhappy with each other. Lan Xi turned around and was about to return to her room, but was stopped by Mu Yaran.

"Miss Lan, why did you leave in such a hurry the moment you saw me? If you continue to be like this, others will think that the Xiao family is unfriendly to our guests." Mu Yaran said in a provocative manner.

After shaking off Mu Yaran's hand, Lan Xi rudely replied, "This place is not the Xiao family's old residence and it is not under the Xiao family's control. This is Xiao Yunyi's own residence. He let me in here. If you have any requests, you can go and talk to him yourself. This is not your house, so you don't need to put on the airs of a mistress. "

After saying that, Lan Xi raised her leg and prepared to leave. However, Mu Yaran stopped her once again. "You're wrong about that. Moreover, it's not certain that you'll still be able to live here. The feeling of living under someone else's roof is not that pleasant, right? "

Lan Xi looked curiously at Mu Yaran as she asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Raising her hand to cover her chest, Mu Yaran faintly smiled at Lan Xi as she arrogantly said, "Of course it's the literal meaning. Let me tell you the truth, I want to get engaged to Brother Xiao. This will soon be my home. Tell me, am I the mistress? "

"What did you say?"
