"Then what else can we do? Can we escape? " Xia Xiaomo's tone had the tone of a dead pig being unafraid of boiling water.
He had fought all the battles he could think of, and he had also used all the ways he could think of. However, the initiative was never in her hands. It was in her hands before, but now it was as well. If Yebeichen didn't want to shake her off, she could only feel pain and grief; if Yebeichen wanted to marry her, she had no right to say no.
Aiya, so it's like that. In any case, Yebeichen had been infected by her, so she wouldn't lose out at all. She thought that his cancer was about to die and that he would earn a lot from living in the future. In the literary point of view, every day was like the last day of one's life!
"But — —" Xia Leman did not know what to say either. He had said everything she could think of to discuss and it would be meaningless to continue. Little Mo was right, in the face of absolute power, a small figure like them was actually powerless.
"By the way, how is Grandmother? She must be very disappointed in me, right? " Xia Xiaomo knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it sooner or later, but she always thought that it would be good to let her grandmother have a happy day. What if she really got rid of Yebeichen? But who knew it would turn out like this!
"Lady Leng Fenglan is getting stronger!" Xia Leman hurriedly told Little Mo about her mother's heroic retreat, and also said that her Gong Family shouldn't be in the same heart as Ye Aotian. Even if there were benefits involved, but what Ye Aotian owed her was a life, Yebeichen's mother was Old Master Gong's only daughter. When the old tutor had received the news of his daughter's death, he'd had a stroke on the spot! Just because of this, even if the Gong Ye and Gong Ye were to work together, they still wouldn't be able to penetrate too deep!
"If Gong Family doesn't help Ye Aotian …" Xia Xiaomo felt that she could at least live a few more years more. Emma, life isn't just about bad news. Sometimes it's about good news, isn't it?
Xia Leman saw that Little Mo had started to laugh foolishly again, thinking that she should be stable enough now, right? So she started to complete the mission given by Lady Leng Fenglan, "Little Mo, what are you thinking? Your grandmother wants to talk to you. "
Xia Xiaomo also wanted to apologize to her grandmother. She didn't want to hide this from her, and even more so, didn't want her to worry about her own matters. Lady Leng Fenglan only asked her one question, "Little Mo, even if you ignore Yebeichen's family background, do you still like him?"
Xia Xiaomo thought for a long time, not knowing how to answer. And before she could give her answer, the intercom rang again …
This time, the one who spoke to her was not Yebeichen. Instead, it was Yebeichen's second uncle, who was also the President of the First Hospital in C City, the head of Xia Xiaomo's internship unit. Furthermore, this time, in order to express the importance Gong Family had towards Yebeichen, the three pillars of Gong Family had all come, and even Gong Cheng had come along as well.
They said that since the Old Master Gong had spoken, Yebeichen must get married openly, no matter what conditions the woman asked for, they must agree, as long as the wife Yebeichen married was Xia Xiaomo! Because Yebeichen's mother had recognized this marriage when he was still alive, he definitely could not let down his dead daughter!
Leng Fenglan brought Xia Leman out of the room to welcome them, then invited the three elders of Gong Family and Yebeichen over to the small teahouse near their home.
"The house is too simple and crude. I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain so many distinguished guests, so I invite everyone to come to the teahouse." Leng Fenglan was polite with her words, she did not lose her dignity. For her precious granddaughter, she was not afraid of anything and dared to do anything.
"Thank you, dear grandmother! "Originally, the Old Master wanted to personally pay a visit, but unfortunately, his health is not well, so he called us three brothers over. If the place is not well, please forgive us, my dear grandmother." The one who spoke was the Principal Old Man that Xia Xiaomo spoke of. It was appropriate for him to stand up and speak, so the Old Master Gong entrusted all of his authority to him. His two brothers were mostly here to keep up appearances.
"You guys are too polite. The fact that you two came is enough proof of how important this marriage is to you. Then, if I have anything to say, I will speak frankly." Talking with Yebeichen's three uncles was something that would happen in the future. The person Leng Fenglan really wanted to talk to was Yebeichen. Only when Yebeichen finishes his preparations would it be necessary to discuss the process of the marriage.
"That's for the best. If your biological grandmother has anything to say, just say it." From beginning to end, the Principal and Old Man had been smiling merrily, so wasn't it just suitable for them to come out and play with each other?
"Alright then." Leng Fenglan took a deep breath, then said to Yebeichen and the people from Gong Family: "I am sorry, but I cannot agree to this marriage."
"Why?" Yebeichen could not help but shout out. He could tolerate all the requests from the Xia Clan, but this was not the only rule he could accept!
"Don't get so worked up yet," Leng Fenglan said slowly, "I know that four years ago, she wanted to kill us because of your father's intentions. If you hadn't sent people to inform us that we would leave early, our family of three might not have survived."
Xia Leman was shocked, "Mom, why have you never mentioned this to us?" When Wen Liang told her this, she didn't believe him. She didn't expect it to be true!
Leng Fenglan lightly glared at her daughter, meaning to say, don't interrupt and listen to her story. Although she was old, she was not stupid, and she had her reasons for doing things. Xia Leman pointed, and did not say another word.
Leng Fenglan continued: "Seeing you all come over today, I also understand a lot of the facts. ~ It must be Gong Family that has been taking care of us for the past four years, right? Little Mo gets special care when she goes to school and enters the best hospital during her internship. The little drugstore I bought, the house we lived in, and even the work of Le Man, did you all do it in secret? "
The old Headmaster immediately said, "It's all because of A'Chen. It was just a small effort on our part."
Xia Leman was already dumbstruck when she heard it. Hadn't Yebeichen always disliked his family's Little Mo? And to be so mean to her! Why had he done so many things for her in the past four years? This was not very scientific, but it was very touching!
Leng Fenglan stood up, and bowed to the elders from Gong Family, "I thank you all!"
This frightened even the great sir of Gong Family, and he hurriedly stood up to return the greeting, "Hey, you're our senior, we can't accept such a great gift from you!"
But when Leng Fenglan bowed, other than gratitude, it was also for the honor of being first and then a soldier. She is telling Yebeichen not to think that just by doing some things for Little Mo in the past four years, he will be able to make up for the harm you did to her.
After she sat down again, she said to Yebeichen: "Oh Bei Chen, you can be considered as one that I watched grow up. I know you are very outstanding, a dragon amongst men that is very rare to come by. If you marry our family's Little Mo with a condition like this, our Xia family will have a higher chance of doing so. "
"Mom!" Xia Leman was unhappy, even if it was the truth, he could not say it this way. Who the hell are you standing on?
However, Leng Fenglan did not finish her words, "Have you thought about it? How much pressure would this drop put on Little Mo? You are very good, but you are not a good match for our family's Little Mo. She is more suited to find a suitable man to live her life in peace. "
The old dean hurried out to speak up for his nephew, "My dear grandmother, although being a family member is good, Bei Chen and Little Mo grew up together. They have deep feelings for each other. What could be more important than two people falling in love when young men and women were married and living together? You don't have the heart to open up a couple of lovers, do you? "
Hearing that, Lady Leng Fenglan became excited, "My Little Mo has feelings for Yebeichen, but your Young Master Ye is too heartless!"
She looked at Yebeichen, "I won't say what you did to her all those years ago. It was because she liked you, it was because she was willing to give it up, and I can't blame you for that. But if you really like her, don't hurt her! Do you know how she endured the past four years? "
Yebeichen's heart ached, "I know — —"
He knew, he knew, that his heart ached more than anyone else's, but he couldn't bear it for her!
"You don't know! You don't know how much damage your Ye Family has done to her! " Leng Fenglan interrupted him suddenly, looking extremely excited.
"For a very long time, she was unable to eat and lost a lot of hair. She was still unable to sleep and was unable to sleep the whole night, but after I used a lot of prescriptions to treat her, she was finally able to sleep for a while. However, she did not dare to sleep, and the moment she opened her eyes, she wanted to find me and Le Man. We had no choice but to take turns sleeping with her. How hard it was for her to get on with her normal life, and here you are again! "
"I'm sorry!" Yebeichen stood up and sincerely bowed to apologize.
"Little Mo's injuries can't be healed by a single word of apology!" Lady Leng Fenglan's anger had not subsided and she did not appreciate her kindness. On the other hand, Xia Leman was so shocked that she could not close her mouth for a long time! Was this still the young master ice mountain she knew? Even in front of her father Ye Aotian, he was cold and indifferent, yet he actually dared to apologize?
Should she secretly record this moment in history with her phone?
Just as she was about to dig into her pockets, she discovered Gong Cheng staring at her with half-closed eyes and a smile that wasn't a smile. She had a strange feeling that she couldn't put her finger on it. Xia Leman immediately glared at her and intentionally stroked the hair on her forehead: What's going on? Was he stunned by his elder sister's beauty?
Gong Cheng immediately threw up and looked away.
Hmph, a shitty brat wants to stop me? Xia Leman took out her phone without any pressure. Unfortunately, before she could take a photo, Yebeichen had already straightened her body and promised Leng Fenglan solemnly:
"I owe Little Mo so much, isn't it too easy to not let me pay you back? I will use my whole life to love her and protect her! Grandmother, please give me a chance. You know I've never asked anyone in my life, but now I beg you, please be at ease and give me Little Mo! I promise, I will give her the happiness she wants! "
Leng Fenglan did not speak, and the entire scene fell into silence. The people from Gong Family knew that Leng Fenglan was considering, and they did not dare to urge her.
But Xia Leman was unable to hold back, "Yebeichen, how can you guarantee this? What guarantee do you have? It's because we like you that Little Mo suffered for so many years and almost lost her life in the end. How can we trust you? To put it more bluntly, your father wants to kill her today. Do you have the strength to protect her? "
