Originally, the farce between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye had already caused a big stir.
As a traditional man, the Xiao patriarch was not going to let them continue to be involved with each other.
With what had happened now, his own father would be even less likely to give them a chance to be together.
Xiao Shuo looked towards Xiao Li, "Father, you..."
"If you don’t agree to marry her, your grandfather won’t let you out," Xiao Li said, his tone tense.
"Grandfather thinks Uncle Seven’s relationship with Ye Yuning is a joke, so marrying my aunt wouldn’t be a joke?"
Ultimately, Xiao Shuo couldn’t help but roar out in anger.
That’s right. Ye Yuning, having been engaged to him and then marrying his Uncle Seven, was regarded as a joke by the Xiao patriarch. And now what? The matter between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye had beco the talk of the town. If he, the nephew, turned around and married Ye Yuning now, wouldn’t that also be a joke? For the Xiao Family, wouldn’t that be an even bigger farce?
Xiao Li frowned deeply, his face full of worry, and sighed, "You simply don’t understand."
"What don’t I understand? Or is it that I view things differently than Grandfather does?"
It was an issue so clear that even a fool could see it. Could his grandfather really not understand the logic? Forcing him to marry Ye Yuning? What kind of logic was that?
Xiao Li said, "Your Uncle Seven is the helmsman of the Xiao Group, a man who has lived his life in the spotlight."
Xiao Shuo remained silent.
He understood instantly! So, his grandfather thought he was useless. Marrying Ye Yuning ant he would have to live in the shadows forever. In the future, he would no longer be allowed to attend Xiao Family banquets or any high-society public events. Was he supposed to spend the rest of his life with Ye Yuning, hidden away in darkness?
"Then why can’t sobody else marry Ye Yuning? That way, Uncle Seven wouldn’t have any further chances with her either, would he?"
Why did it have to be him? It didn’t matter who Ye Yuning married, so why did they have to drag him into this? Xiao Shuo didn’t understand. He completely failed to grasp why his grandfather would make such an arrangent.
Xiao Li’s head throbbed violently. He took a deep breath and said, "Then let ask you: with the scandal she and your Uncle Seven have caused, who else would dare to marry her now?"
Who would dare to covet Xiao Seventh Master’s woman?
Xiao Shuo fell silent, his breathing growing heavy.
That’s right. Even if his grandfather wanted to find soone to marry her off to now, that person wouldn’t dare touch Uncle Seven’s woman. Unless they had a death wish. So, even if they wanted to marry Ye Yuning off to soone outside of the Xiao Family, they probably wouldn’t be able to find anyone.
"That doesn’t an you should bring this disaster upon !" Xiao Shuo exclaid, his face flush with anger.
He was also a mber of the Xiao Family. That identity had always been his pride. But now, why did it feel like a shackle? He truly detested this binding restraint.
Xiao Li sighed. "I know this is hard for you, but for now..."
"I won’t marry her!" Xiao Shuo declared firmly.
Xiao Li could only say, "You..."
"Father, do you realize? During this ti, everyone locked up with has been saying I’m going to marry my own Seventh Aunt! Do you know how humiliating those words are to ?"
If he had known it would co to this, he wouldn’t have cheated with Ye Tong; he would have married Ye Yuning directly. Then, none of this ss today would have happened. But now, it was all too late. There was nothing to be done!
Xiao Li fell silent.
"Even if I never get out of here, I won’t marry Ye Yuning," Xiao Shuo said, his tone exceptionally firm.
Life in here was hard. But marrying Ye Yuning would hardly make life any easier. She had a bad temper, and he would be constantly threatened by his Uncle Seven. Just thinking about that kind of life seed more unbearable than hell itself.
Xiao Li looked at his son, who was standing firm for once, and his heart ached.
"Alright, I understand," he said, nodding with a heavy heart.
In the past, he had longed for Xiao Shuo to beco a bit stronger. But who would have thought that now that he had, it would be under such circumstances?
Xiao Li relayed Xiao Shuo’s response that day to the Xiao patriarch.
After listening, the Xiao patriarch’s face turned completely black; he had never expected such an outco.
「At this mont, over at the old residence.」
The Xiao patriarch looked gloomily at Butler Zhong.
Butler Zhong, who had overheard Xiao Li on speakerphone, was also staring in disbelief.
The Xiao patriarch hung up the phone and looked at Butler Zhong. "What do we do now?"
"I didn’t expect the Third Young Master to be so adamant this ti!" Butler Zhong said, abashed.
In the past, Xiao Shuo had always seed like a coward. But who would have thought that when this coward actually stood his ground, he could be so fiercely resolute?
The Xiao patriarch’s face was dangerously dark.
For the past month, he had been unwilling to admit the fact that he had wasted over ten billion yuan. But now, he had to acknowledge it!
"Hmph, good lad. Daring to defy like this," the Xiao patriarch sneered.
His money wasn’t ant to be squandered! He never made a losing deal! Xiao Shuo, that damned brat, actually dared to pull such a stunt on him this ti!
