Murong Ze said unceremoniously to the old man, “Nian Changzhang, I think you’ve become sillier and sillier. Have you forgotten what indecent things your son has done? He betrayed my daughter, and now you want my grandson to marry Jiang Qifei’s daughter? What a crappy idea. I am not dead yet. I won’t allow it to happen.”
“Calm down, Murong.” The old man was embarrassed. “I also hate Jiang Qifei, but her daughter is innocent. Don’t forget, you liked her back then, too. She is Leng Zhe’s daughter, after all. My infuriating son caused Leng Zhe to divorce. I’ve always felt bad towards him. Now that Leng Shuangwei can never be pregnant again because she saved my old wife, I owe it to them. The culprit also said that she did it out of revenge for Xu Luosang.”
“Yeah, you owe it to the Leng family, but you’re not going to compensate them with my grandson.” Murong Ze was furious. “Did you ever consider my daughter’s position when you made such a decision? Have you consulted Junting?”
Murong Cheng stood up and said to Nian Qingyun, “You’ve gone to bed with your future in-law. How could you agree to such a shameful arrangement? You are so shameless. Why don’t you marry the mother-in-law instead?”
Nian Qingyun’s anger bubbled after hearing what she said. “Cheng, don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I wanted this to happen? It’s all because your son is dating Xu Luosang! All the guests present heard it loud and clear. The culprit came after us because of her. You weren’t there to witness the viciousness of the crime.”
Murong Ze raised his hands. “Alright, don’t call us unreasonable folks. I called the police station earlier. The reason why the perpetrator acted last night was partly because of Miao Zheng. Miao Zheng is your second son’s business partner. He was the one who brought the girl to the party yesterday. You are the unreasonable one for pushing all the blame on Xu Luosang. The responsibility should be shouldered equally. How can you ask my grandson to marry her? Don’t you have another grandson, Nian Junlei? You can ask him to marry her instead. That chap is good-looking and capable as well. He is the perfect match for the Leng family.”
“That’s right.” Yu Wen agreed. “The son should pay for his father’s mistakes.”
“Grandpa Murong, I have a girlfriend already.” Cousin Nian Junlei was shocked. “Don’t joke around like that please.”
“You have a girlfriend, so does our Junting!” Murong Ze crossed his legs.
“How can Junting’s girlfriend compare to Junlei’s? She is from a much more respectable family,” Nian Qingyun interjected.
Murong Ze slammed the table angrily. “Xu Luosang is from a respectable family, too!”
“How can it be the same? Xu Luosang’s father is in jail. He is in the spotlight for a scandal,” Nian Qingyun said. “The culprit yesterday also said that she used to date Xu Luosang’s ex-fiancé. What a mess. I don’t even want to talk about it.”
Murong Cheng grabbed a cup on the table and splashed it on him. “You have the cheek to talk about someone else. What about the mess you made?”
“You can just speak. You don’t have to resort to violence,” Nian Qingyun shouted angrily.
“Alright, alright, stop quarreling.” Grandpa Nian banged his cane on the ground. “It’s not that I won’t let Junlei marry Shuangwei, it’s that she wouldn’t want that. She has always liked Junting.”
