As Yuwen Jing’s aunt spoke, her eyes drifted to Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu.
She knew that although Chen Meng’er wasn’t Elder Liu’s biological granddaughter, Elder Liu loved Chen Meng’er dearly. Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing had yet to get engaged. It wasn’t because the people of the Buyano family were stopping them, but because Elder Liu had never relented.
Elder Liu had always said that his granddaughter was still young, and he wanted to keep her for a few more years.
And this was exactly what Yuwen Jing’s aunt wanted. She looked at Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu proudly and said, “I also know that you, Elder Liu, have always been reluctant to part with your granddaughter, and you want to keep her for a few more years. However, our family head isn’t young anymore, and he’s also shouldering the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line. Don’t you see?”
Hearing the words of Yuwen Jing’s aunt, Elder Liu’s face instantly fell, and even Yuwen Jing’s face turned cold. He had calculated everything, but he still decided to reveal it. He had predicted that the elders in the family would cause trouble, so he had called ahead to warn them. However, he did not expect that the aunt, who usually did not have much presence in the family, would actually jump out.
“Elder Liu, about this matter… Of course, if you agree to let your granddaughter get married so early, I won’t have any objections. Otherwise, please explain it clearly to our family head so that he can change his mind and find a suitable partner and have children as soon as possible.”
Yuwen Jing’s aunt spoke as if she was truly thinking of Yuwen Jing.
However, those who knew the truth were well aware that she was implying something. Moreover, she was scheming so much because she wanted to push her niece to Yuwen Jing.
“Aunt, it doesn’t seem like you have the right to worry about my marriage. As the family head, I should still have the power, right?” Yuwen Jing’s expression was very unsightly, he spoke before Elder Liu opened his mouth.
“Family head, look at what you’re saying. I’m just concerned about you. Besides, what did I say wrong? The family rules clearly state this as well.” Yuwen Jing’s aunt brought out the family rules, she wasn’t afraid of Yuwen Jing’s cold expression at all.
“Family rules? You’re concerned about Xibo? What you said was rather grand. What exactly are you planning? You don’t need me to tell you in front of so many people, right?”?Chen Meng’er had long known the truth.
She had long known that she would one day become the mistress of the Buyano family. It was not so easy to be the mistress. Moreover, there were many people eyeing this position covetously. Therefore, she had to hold on to something useful.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” After hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, Yuwen Jing’s aunt’s heart thumped. However, she still had the mentality of being lucky. She didn’t think much of Chen Meng’er.
“Because of your elder brother’s recent investment mistake, your family’s funds have almost been depleted. You’ve always wanted to give your niece to Xibo, but it hasn’t been successful. Just a few days ago, when you returned to your family’s house, your elder brother called you into his study. The two of you chatted for two whole hours. Your elder brother wanted you to take out some money to save your mother’s house. However, you didn’t have any power. Your monthly living expenses weren’t enough to cover it. The two of you thought together and felt that only by having a relationship with Xibo and pulling Xibo into your boat could your mother’s house be saved.”
Chen Meng’er originally didn’t want to expose Yuwen Jing’s aunt’s situation, but she had no choice.
