NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4.1: The Three-Year Promise
In the reception hall of the Xiao Clan, there was dead silence.
Ge Ye stared at Nalan Yanran with a dumbfounded expression on his face, unable to process what was happening.
You see, originally, Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect was very against Nalan Yanran’s decision to break off the engagement. and if it weren’t for Nalan Yanran’s constant persuasion, Yun Yun would not have sent Ge Ye to support her.
But now that they were already here, Nalan Yanran suddenly changed her mind.
Young Mistress? I’ve prepared the compensation gift. I’m also prepared to throw away my face for you
But now you’re changing your mind at the last second!?
Not only was Ge Ye stunned, but so were Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
Anyone could see that Nalan Yanran’s original intention in coming here was to break off the engagement. That was beyond doubt.
But upon seeing Xiao Yan, her attitude took a 180-degree turn, leaving everyone’s heads spinning.
Not only did she not mention breaking off the engagement, she also demanded that the wedding be held immediately?
Meanwhile, outside the hall, Xiao Ning and the others saw what was happening. Xiao Ning slowly came to his senses.
“It seems that Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran know each other beforehand. After seeing him, she didn’t say a word about breaking off the engagement and instead demanded that the wedding take place immediately. Hey Xun’er, Xiao Yan really is amazing….”
Xiao Ning’s voice suddenly trailed off, looking at Xiao Xun’er with a look of horror.
“Hm… Big Brother Xiao Yan is really popular, isn’t he?”
As she listened to Xiao Xun’er’s extremely gloomy words, Xiao Ning’s body trembled uncontrollably and he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Obviously, Nalan Yanran’s words had touched on Xiao Xun’er’s sore spot!
However, while Xiao Xun’er could barely maintain her composure, Xiao Mei couldn’t take it anymore and barged into the reception hall.
“I object!”
Xiao Mei’s objection brought the stunned crowd in the hall back to their senses. The second elder immediately glared at his own granddaughter.
“Mei’er, back down! This has nothing to do with you!”
“How does it have nothing to do with me? Xiao Yan’s business is my business!” Xiao Mei then turned her head to glare at Nalan Yanran, pointing at her without any reservations, “I say, you’re originally coming here to break off the engagement, aren’t you? I fully support you breaking off the engagement! Our Xiao Clan is not worthy of your Nalan family! Xiao Yan is not worthy of you! After you break off the engagement, go back and focus on being the next Sect Master of the mighty Yun Lan Sect! No one is stopping you!”
After Xiao Mei finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and the three elders’ faces turned particularly ugly.
Although it is an objective fact that the Xiao Clan cannot compare to the Nalan family, and that it is also an objective fact that Xiao Yan is currently not worthy of Nalan Yanran.
But as someone from the Xiao Clan, you can’t say that. Isn’t this slapping your own face?
Although they know what Xiao Mei is trying to achieve, her words undoubtedly greatly insulted the reputation of the Xiao Clan.
Especially for the Second Elder, if there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to rush up and give his granddaughter a good spanking for saying such things!
Meanwhile, outside the door, Xiao Ning was holding his head in pain.
Oh my cousin Xiao Mei, even though I understand your feelings, you’re just belittling the Xiao Clan and Xiao Yan to the extreme out of nowhere like that.
Just then, Xiao Xun’er also entered the meeting hall.
Keenly aware, Ge Ye noticed that when Xiao Xun’er entered, the anger of the three elders, including Xiao Zhan, instantly disappeared, and there was even a deep sense of awe in the patriach eyes, which deeply furrowed Ge Ye’s brow.
Who exactly is Xiao Xun’er?
Standing in front of Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun’er gently placed her hand that was pointing at Nalan Yanran back down and bowed to Xiao Zhan.
“Clan Patriach, three elders.” Xiao Xun’er’s face remained calm, and her ethereal voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall. “Although Xiao Mei’s words were too rude, there is no problem with the reasoning behind them. Nowadays, marriage should be based on matching families.”
“As Nalan’s family is flourishing, and Miss Nalan is also intelligent and has been accepted as the direct disciple of the esteemed Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, I believe that forcing the two families to intermarry may not be a good choice for both sides.”
“Originally, this engagement was a decision made by the two family ancestor without considering the feelings of them both. Now, it would be more reasonable to cancel this engagement.”
