Ling Mofeng would never give up after being threatened and scared like this. For him, Qiao Zhuo"s confession was still very useful, Liu Tie was like a tumor, causing him to want to quickly get rid of it. This time, the incident happened to be a knife in Ling Mofeng"s hand, it could directly stab into Zhang Lu"s chest, and it could also teach old president a lesson.
However, once this matter was brought out to a.s.sa.s.sinate the old president, the news of the engagement of Lan Yanxi and Ling Mofeng would naturally spread. Thus, this was what Ling Mofeng had to weigh the pros and cons at the moment.
The two elders sat on the main seat. Ling Mofeng, as a junior, personally made a cup of water and brewed some tea on the side, showing the etiquette of a junior without a doubt so as to gain Old Master Lan"s acknowledgement. Although they were close to seventy years old, their Lan Family was under his control, but his two sons still had not taken over his authority in Lan Family. He was still the loudest person, and that was the main reason why Lan Yanxi was able to do whatever she wanted while she was in Lan Family.
If the Old Master Lan ever goes back one day, Lan Yanxi"s situation would be very disadvantageous. The Old Master Lan previously considered not leaving the property in her hands to this little granddaughter of his, as he didn"t want her to get involved in any trouble in the clan. However, if a woman didn"t have the money in her hands, she might not be able to live a happy life.
This was why the old tutor had decided to book a tough marriage for Lan Yanxi so that she could have someone to protect her in this storm.
"Grandpa Blue, please have some tea!" Ling Mofeng said softly as he placed the teacup in front of Old Master Lan.
Old Master Lan took a sip of the tea and praised: "Not bad, the tea smells good!"
Seeing his grandson being praised, Old Master Ling also laughed happily twice.
"The two of you called me over for tea. Tell me, is it about my granddaughter, Yanxi?" The old tutor was being shrewd as he asked directly.
Ling Mofeng looked at his grandfather, and his grandfather signaled him to speak. Thus, Ling Mofeng told Old Master Lan the news of the engagement of two people.
The mouthful of tea that Old Master Lan had just brought to his lips almost sprayed out as he forcefully swallowed it down. However, he coughed to the point that his old face was flushed red, as he forcefully placed the teacup on the table: "How dare that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d hurt my granddaughter?"
I won"t hide the truth from you, I will do everything I can to protect Yanxi"s safety. However, it"s difficult for me to be on guard, and I"m also very worried that if the news of my engagement with Yanxi were to be made public, danger would come from all directions. However, if the news were to be made public, then Yanxi would have to endure all the grievances and shock. Ling Mofeng a.n.a.lyzed calmly.
"Is there no other way to solve this? I didn"t introduce my granddaughter to you to share the danger with you. You should know that my d.a.m.ned son left me with this one son of mine. Yanxi might not be a smart girl, but it"s precisely because of her stupidity that I can"t be at ease. " Old Master Lan was truly frightened and angry.
Hearing the two words "stupid," Ling Mofeng couldn"t hold it in anymore, he choked on his tea and coughed again.
"Mo Feng has some sense of propriety!" Old Master Ling stared at his grandson with a serious face. If he lost his composure like this, he was afraid that Old Master Lan would cancel the marriage due to anger. Then, wouldn"t his heart that was stolen by the girl be shattered into pieces?
It took a lot of effort for Ling Mofeng to hold back his coughing. His handsome face was flushed.
If Lan Yanxi were to hear her grandfather describe her with these two words, who knew how much expression she would have.
"Grandpa Lan, Yanxi has a very good personality and is very pure in her heart. It"s definitely because you"ve protected her so well, and you"re unwilling to let her endure all these hards.h.i.+ps, but when I marry her in the future, I"ll naturally protect her even more carefully. I"ll love her so that she won"t be frightened."
Ling Mofeng quickly expressed his love for Lan Yanxi. He was really afraid that Old Master Lan would cancel their marriage.
Old Master Lan sighed, he stared out the window, his eyes suddenly going red, in the next second, he took a tissue to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes.
This action shocked the Ling family"s ancestors. Did Old Master Lan"s anger due to being sad mean that the marriage was going to come to an end?
"When Yanxi was thirteen, she fell into the water once and almost couldn"t be saved. Do you know how hard it was for me to raise her like this? Every single day is like a day stolen from heaven. I"m just worried that one day something might happen to her again. This old bones of mine really doesn"t know what to rely on to live on anymore. " Old Master Lan was extremely sad, he was truly worried for his granddaughter"s safety. He had lost her once, and the feeling of recovering from this loss was not something an ordinary person could experience.
Ling Mofeng"s heart stopped beating, his eyes stared straight at Old Master Lan as he wiped the corner of his eyes. He was so nervous that his breathing slowed down, and he quickly used his eyes to ask his grandfather for help.
Old Master Ling was silent. After all, no one wished to have such an unforgettable and sorrowful experience. People who had not experienced it before would not be able to comfort one another.
That person said that she was over twenty years old and needed to experience tribulation, if she could still live to the age of twenty-five, then her fate would be different. I originally thought that if I could introduce her to your Ling Family, she would definitely not be in any danger, but your Ling family"s character is upright and I trust you, and now that Mo Feng has taken a fancy to this little girl of mine, my love is filled to the brim, happiness is like a pair, everything is too perfect for him. It looks like Yanxi has experienced another tribulation, and I don"t even know what kind of danger awaits her.
Ling Mofeng"s back was covered in cold sweat. If he could, he would have also sweated if he wanted to wipe his forehead.
Old Master Ling was silent on the side, making Ling Mofeng want to cry, is grandpa here to fill the numbers? This grandson of his had faced such a huge pressure and test, why hadn"t his grandfather spoken a few good words for him? Is he my grandson or not?
"Grandpa, this is the scientific era. Such a superst.i.tious thing ??"
"Mo Feng, stop it!" Old Master Ling scolded him.
Ling Mofeng"s body trembled. He realized that he had said the wrong thing as well. It was because the Old Master Lan was concerned that they were superst.i.tious, but he was still pointing out the other party"s wrongdoings. He should be scolded.
"The fortune-teller said that Yanxi"s tribulation must come. Mo Feng, Grandfather has no other intentions. Right now, let"s think of a way to get out of this difficult situation together. Tell me, do you have any solution? " Seeing that he was subconsciously rubbing his hands to wipe the sweat off his face, he nodded in satisfaction in his heart. It looks like, his performance just now was rather successful, scaring this young lad into a corner.
"Grandfather, I do have a method right now, but it will require two families to put on an act." Ling Mofeng quickly expressed his opinion.
After all, even if he was extremely confident in his own appearance and the Old Master Lan didn"t marry his granddaughter, he still couldn"t do anything about it. He couldn"t steal it and he couldn"t be fooled either.
"Tell me about it!" Old Master Lan was satisfied, as long as there was a way to solve the problem.
"I hope that the two families can hold an engagement ceremony, but Yanxi and I aren"t present at the banquet." I hope that the two families can hold an engagement banquet, but Yanxi and I aren"t present at the banquet.
The two old men looked at each other.
"Don"t worry, Grandpa Lan. This is just a temporary grievance against Yanxi. My feelings for her won"t be diminished in the slightest!" Ling Mofeng was quickly recharged.
