Xin yichen grunted and gave him a dirty look as if he heard the joke of the century.
" You are insulting my daughter as well as my upbringing" Xin yichen replied exasperatedly. No one could belittle his beloved daughter, not even her husband or any damm human on this realm.
" She is a woman Xin yichen and my misogynist son will certainly give her the hard time, " Long shaoming honestly replied. "He would never let her rule"
"Don't forget Long Jie is not unconquerable. You are really underestimating my daughter, Long Shaomimg" Xin yichen said.
"Or maybe you are overestimating your daughter, Xin Yichen" Long shaoming refuted his words. He was not doubting his daughter in laws potential it was just that he wanted to let Xin yichen knew that their marriage would not be an easy one.
"If my zini was a man, no one would dare refute she has the capability to be the best there ever was. But there will always be a fool who thinks she can be run over, and she would never stop fighting. If someone backed her into a corner, she would either fight or tear down the wall and kill the one who cornered her in the first place." He chuckled. It was one of the things he loved about his daughter. That fire in her eyes always reminded him so much of her mother.
Long shaoming sighed loudly before saying"My son is not going to just let her rule Xin Yichen. We both know it better than anyone. She is a woman and she has to prove her potential at every step. She will be criticized, looked down and disparaged in my house but I'm looking forward to it. Not because she is my nemesis's daughter but because the woman who is going to standby my son's side has to deal with all minor or major challenges herself."
"If my daughter had to prove herself again and again Long Shaoming then there is no need to continue this charade and do not forget Long shaoming, it was you who wanted them to be married in the first place." Xin yichen snapped.
"Don't you except same from Jie. Moreover, don't forget you owe me one Yichen."
"I do but if even a strand of her hair is hurt Long Shaoming you know better what would happen."
" I have given my words that as long as she is my son's wife no danger will touch her."
" it's just you who's the grumpy old man, if your wife had been here with us, She would have been over the moon knowing my son is marrying Zhenyi"
" I don't know if she would be over the moon or not but I'm sure your misogynist son would definitely be six feet deep."
Long shaoming pressed his lips and didn't refute because he knew yichen was not joking when he said his son would be six feet deep. Heck, if the woman was alive and well, she would have assassinated his whole family for compelling Xins to marry their only daughter to his family. If Xin yichen was a cold-blooded killer she was a killing machine. He had seen her clearly and closely and very well, knew how much his wife hated her but she was not gutsy enough to show her hate frankly. That was Xin yichen's wife and Zhenyi's mother. It was very unfortunate for Xin Yichen that the woman died soon leaving her husband behind. No matter how cruel she was, she loved her husband like no one else. Xin yichen was her biggest obsession and need and she was his everything.
"Shaomimg, you can lie to your son as much as you want but he is no fool to believe your words. Tell me my dear enemy, did you tell him why you wanted them together?" Xin Yichen asked Long Shaoming.
" Just to increase our influence in the capital. If xins and longs are one there will be no one more powerful than us, "Long shaoming replied and Xin yichen had an urge to roll his eyes at his nonsense justification. To be honest, he didn't believe any of his words.
" I do not care shaoming what your real intention is. But remember one thing my daughter should be sound and safe otherwise nobody can stop me from killing each of you."
" I gave you my words, old man your daughter is my daughter now. She can create havoc as much as she likes."
Xin yichen shook his head before saying, "Looks like you don't cherish your peaceful life anymore."
" I'm retiring my dear old enemy and getting another version of my best friend is the best retirement gift" he grinned, unlike the Long shaoming, everyone knew. He was looking forward to it.
" Let's check on our kids, I'm afraid if we delay any second there won't be a wedding to plan but a funeral."
