Chapter 1060: Loyalty
It was obvious that Leng Jinjie was not the old master’s niece. Thus, that could only mean that her husband was the old man’s nephew.
Therefore, that meant Grandpa Chi’s younger sister married someone with the surname Pei.
Nuannuan decided to go back and study the Pei family. As for the rest of the details, she would ask Big Brother Chi Yang for them.
However, Nuannuan soon realized that Grandpa did not like his sister’s family at all. In fact, it could be said that they had a terrible relations.h.i.+p.
“Didn’t Pei Jicheng tell you that the Pei family and the Chi family have nothing to do with each other anymore? I don’t even know who you are. It’s not good for you to randomly acknowledge people as your relatives like this.”
What a face-smacking statement!
Grandpa was such a good person. For him to say such humiliating words, Nuannuan immediately gave the Pei family zero points. She also decided that if anything happened to the Pei family in the future, she would help Grandpa smack their faces.
Leng Jinjie felt a little embarra.s.sed. “This is between you and my mother-in-law. This is a grudge between all of you in the older generation. It doesn’t concern us, so why must you hold a grudge against us, Uncle?”
The old master and Leng Jinpeng could not bear to hear this anymore. Just as they were about to serve more face-smacking, Pei Jiaxiang persuaded his mother. “Mom, please stop talking. This matter was originally Grandma and Auntie’s fault. They deserved not getting the Old Marshal’s acknowledgment. Old Marshal, please don’t get angry. Health is wealth. Thank you for coming to see my grandparents. Please take a seat!”
Old Master Chi glanced at Pei Jiaxiang. He was originally here to visit the sick, so he sat down.
Pei Jiaxiang immediately handed him a cup of hot water. “Old Marshal, have some water.”
Although he hated this family to the core, as the saying went, one should not slap a smiling face. Old Master Chi suppressed the frustration in his heart.
“Please have some water!” Pei Jiaxiang brought the water to Nangong Nuannuan and smiled brightly with his eyes twinkling. “I’m afraid I still don’t know how to address this miss!”
“This is my future granddaughter-in-law, Nuannuan.”
“What?” Leng Jinjie was shocked.
Pei Jiaxiang, who stood there with a smile on his face, froze and narrowed his eyes.
“Why? Is there a problem?” Old Master Chi did not like Leng Jinjie at all. He just could not help but want to tell her off.
Leng Jinjie could tell that the old master was displeased. She smiled awkwardly. “Of course not. The future granddaughter-in-law that you’ve chosen will definitely be the most suitable for Chi Yang. I wonder which family this young lady is from?”
“I, Chi Yuancheng, will only choose the best granddaughter-in-law. Her family doesn’t matter to me. To me, as long as Chi Yang likes her and she’s loyal to the Chi family, that’s enough.” As he spoke, the old master emphasized the word ‘loyalty’.
Nuannuan wondered if Grandpa’s younger sister had betrayed him.
At the mention of Nuannuan, Old Master Chi’s sharp gaze softened. Nuannuan also returned him a smile.
Leng Jinjie looked at Nuannuan sharply.
She was not even from a wealthy family, yet she coveted Chi Yang? How dare she dreamt of joining the Chi family as their granddaughter-in-law?
Dream on!
Pei Jiaxiang looked at Nuannuan, and the fervor in his eyes faded a little. Initially, he was determined to win at first and he was still determined to win her heart. However, he changed his perspective to seeing Nuannuan as a marriage candidate to a lover candidate.
It was true that the Chi family did not need their own granddaughter-in-law to be outstanding, but the same could not be applied to the Leng and Pei families.
If she wanted to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Leng family and the Pei family, she must be powerful and influential enough.
