Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 7

Therefore, even if his intentions were revealed, Wei Xiao couldn’t confess to them. He spoke with a cold expression, “Let’s not talk about her behavior for now. I cannot agree to be with a high school student who doesn’t focus on their studies and goes to bars to drink.”

Wen Nian clenched her fists. She knew that she had made a mistake, but the person who had the least right to judge her was the hypocritical Wei Xiao standing before her. “Wei Xiao, please stop being so unreasonable. Who doesn’t have curiosity? I’ve never been to a bar before. What’s wrong with being curious? Does going to a bar make me a bad person? We don’t want to discuss this matter with you any further. Let’s call off the engagement today!”

Wei Xiao looked at Wen Nian, who avoided him like a disease and wanted to keep her distance. He felt suffocated.

A tall young man approached Wei Xiao and spoke softly, “Young Master, Old Master wants you to bring the Wen family back to the old residence.”

Wei Xiao frowned and realized that this was bad. He had forgotten about the existence of those secret guards. His grandfather must have known about the situation because he had planted those secrets guards to protect him, and they must have reported the matter to him.

The fact that he was being monitored 24 hours a day disgusted him, but he knew he had to accept it because this was a test that the future heir had to pass.

At the Wei family’s old residence.

The Wen family greeted Wei Feng politely, “Old Mr. Wei.”

Wei Feng pretended not to know about the argument that had taken place at the mall. He spoke with a smile, “This is the first time we have everyone here together. Old Li, please hurry and prepare a pot of tea using my collection of Xinyang hair tips.”

The first time Wei Feng saw the Wen family, he had already made up his mind about arranging a marriage between the Wen Family and the next generation of the Wei Family. After all, Wen Xiang had saved his life in the past. It could be said that without Wen Xiang, he would not have been alived to build up his current family business. Hence, after learning the whereabouts of the Wen family and seeing that Wen Nian was of a suitable age and appearance, he had the intention of arranging a marriage.

In particular, the Wen family’s sensible rejection had left a positive impression on him. Although Wen Nian had caused a small commotion due to her parents’ rejection, which made him a little unhappy, he couldn’t retort to what he had just said. He could only think of teaching her well in the future.

When Wei Feng noticed that Wen Nian had changed the way she addressed him to a more distant term, he couldn’t help but feel a little perplexed. He asked in a playful manner, “Why do you sound so distant? Has something happened?”

Wen Nian had no intention of falling out with the Wei family. She understood that their family and the Wei family were like ants and elephants. Her family had to act in a humble manner while they were still growing stronger.

Wen Nian’s expression revealed disappointment as she spoke. “I don’t know where Young Master Wei found the photo of me going to the bar out of curiosity. He insisted that I had an ambiguous relationship with someone else, and showed the photo in public without any explanation. What he did directly convicted me. How am I supposed to be perceived as a person in the future? Moreover, his actions have made his attitude towards this marriage quite clear.”

“I may be poor, but I still have my pride. I am not the kind of person who will pester you. Since Young Master Wei has no intention of marrying me, such a marriage would not be happy. I am willing to respect Young Master Wei’s wish and hope that the old man will agree to my request.”

Wei Xiao’s eyebrows twitched. If he didn’t know that Wen Nian had only met his grandfather once, he would have guessed that the other party was intentionally targeting him. Every word hit the point that Wei Feng cared about the most.

Wei Feng’s smile remained unchanged as he reached out his hand to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao swallowed nervously and opened the photo album to hand over his phone.

Wei Feng checked the phone and placed it aside. Then, he looked at his favorite grandson with a faint smile.

He hated it the most when others complied with him on the surface but went against him on the inside! This photo was obviously a pose, and Wei Feng didn’t believe that Wei Xiao couldn’t tell. He was clearly unwilling, but he pretended to be obedient in front of him. Yesterday, he even said that he wanted to take the initiative to get close to Wen Nian to cultivate their relationship. In reality, he was secretly looking for evidence to force the Wen family to break off the engagement and wash his hands of everything.

Unfortunately for Wei Xiao, he encountered the Wen Family, who stubbornly insisted on asking for an explanation.

Wei Xiao felt Wei Feng’s gaze and sweat broke out on his head.

Ignoring the strange atmosphere, Wen Yu stepped forward and said, “Mr. Wei, your son has slandered my sister’s reputation. I hope he can apologize properly.”

Wen Nian secretly gave Wen Yu an approving look. Then, she mustered her courage and said timidly, “He also said that my family is not upright! I want to ask what’s wrong with my family?!”

Wei Feng shot Wen Yu a sharp look. Wen Yu stood with his back straight without flinching. Father and Mother Wen also made this request.

This made Wei Feng a little unhappy. No matter what, Wei Xiao was still the eldest grandson of the Wei family! The Wen family were just ordinary people!

However, when he thought of Wen Xiang’s life, his chest didn’t feel as heavy anymore. He only started to dislike the Wen family. He looked at Wei Xiao and said in a low voice, “Apologize, Wei Xiao.”
