Chapter 280: Chapter 232: Is it Nonsense?
—Those young masters and ladies, who had been embarrassed by Liu Wentian, now looked at him with mocking faces, some gloating!!
For families like theirs, many times, marriages are not a matter of personal choice, and the Sheng Family was naturally the same.
So what if you’ve won over Sheng Qianmei? If Elder Leng has agreed to the young Wang’s marriage proposal, then you’ll have to beat it!!
As for whether Elder Leng would agree to Wang Baiyun’s proposal, isn’t that obvious!!
A major heir of a super clan versus a mere bodyguard, even a fool would know how to choose!!
After hearing Wang Baiyun’s words, Elder Wang was also stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
He had spoken with Sheng Qianmei before, a girl who was somewhat reserved, but to his liking, as she was the perfect type to marry into the Wang Family—unlikely to cause trouble and capable of being a virtuous wife.
In this way, forming a closer alliance with the Sheng Family was definitely a desirable affair.
With this in mind, he stayed silent, waiting for Elder Leng’s response, confident that his grandson was absolutely worthy of Sheng Qianmei!!
Relying on his many years of friendship with Elder Leng, he believed that Elder Leng would also prefer to see their families unite!!
However, not only Elder Leng but everyone from the Sheng Family furrowed their brows at this moment.
When they looked at Sheng Qianmei, seeing her in a man’s embrace, and that man was none other than Liu Wentian, they became visibly flustered. Liu Wentian’s previous intrusion into the Sheng Family, where he defeated everyone, had left an indelible impression on them!!
Elder Wang noticed Sheng Qianmei being in someone’s arms as well and immediately frowned with confusion in his eyes, but before he could speak, Elder Leng already responded,
“Haha!! My dear nephew, stop joking around!!”
Silence!!
The air seemed to freeze at this moment!!
Whether it was Wang Baiyun, full of confidence, those gloating second-generation youngsters, or the recently frowning Elder Wang, they all looked dumbfounded now!!
Wang Baiyun’s earnest marriage proposal—dismissed as a joke!!
“Elder Leng, I’m not—”
Wang Baiyun’s anxious words were cut short as Elder Leng’s expression turned cold, “My dear nephew, stop with the jokes!! Qianmei belongs to Liu Wentian, our Sheng Family has already acknowledged him as our son-in-law. Mind your words!!”
Although the Wang Family was one of the top four families in Guangnan Province, and it certainly would be beneficial to marry into such a top-level Hao Clan, Elder Leng wouldn’t hesitate to agree if Wang Baiyun had proposed to another Sheng Family girl.
But not Sheng Qianmei. In their eyes, Sheng Qianmei and Liu Wentian were meant to be together, and comparing Wang Baiyun with Liu Wentian was a no-brainer for Elder Leng—he chose Liu Wentian, of course!!
Just the Carefree Transcendent Palm Liu Wentian had gifted to the Sheng Family was something the Wang Family couldn’t provide!!
Moreover, Liu Wentian was exceptionally talented, and Elder Leng was certain he had a significant background!!
Wang Baiyun’s face turned extremely ugly, feeling as if he’d been harshly slapped across the face. He had never experienced such humiliation before!!
His friends were in disbelief. Between this little bodyguard and Wang Baiyun, the Sheng Family had actually chosen the former, which was incredibly astonishing!!
Elder Leng bowed to Elder Wang and said, “Elder Wang, I’m terribly sorry, but Liu Wentian and Qianmei are indeed suited for each other. I hope you understand.”
Elder Leng and Elder Wang had been friends for decades, and while they wouldn’t become in-laws, he genuinely didn’t wish for any rifts or conflict to ensue.
Elder Wang glanced at Wang Baiyun, who was full of despair and unwillingness, sighed, looked Liu Wentian up and down, and then also smiled,
“Haha, Elder Leng, what are you talking about? This whole affair was just a misunderstanding because Baiyun wasn’t clear about the situation; there’s no need for apologies.”
“Yes, haha, a misunderstanding indeed.” Elder Leng also began to laugh.
“Well then, Elder Leng, I should be on my way. Our conversation today felt just like the old days—you’re still the green willow hero, and I’m just a small businessman. Time flies, doesn’t it?”
Elder Wang reminisced, then said, “If you need anything while staying in Guangyang City, just let me know, and I’ll handle it.”
Elder Wang and Elder Leng continued to chat for a few more sentences, evidently sharing a history of youthful days and forming a strong friendship over the years.
After Elder Wang left, Wang Baiyun still hadn’t moved, and his friends understood his mood was not good, not wanting to provoke him. They greeted him and left.@@novelbin@@
He glared at Liu Wentian with rage, clearly still grudging.
At this moment, Elder Leng approached Liu Wentian, seeing him embracing Sheng Qianmei like any couple, assuming they had sorted things out, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he said cheerily, “Liu Wentian, what brings you here? Did you come to Guangyang City specifically to see Qianmei?”
“I came here looking for someone, and when I found out Qianmei was here too, I decided to drop by. Elder Leng, it’s been a while.”
Elder Leng had decisively rejected Wang Baiyun just now, which pleased Liu Wentian. After all, he had said he wouldn’t interfere with Sheng Qianmei’s marriage matters last time, and now it seemed he had kept his word.
“Hehe. Long time no see, you should visit more often.”
Elder Leng was delighted by Liu Wentian’s courtesy and said with a smile, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for the night? Let’s go inside together.”
At this point, he’d already treated Liu Wentian as his grandson-in-law, but this grandson-in-law was somewhat rebellious and hard to handle in terms of seniority.
“I have something I want to discuss with young master Wang. Elder Leng, why don’t you go ahead?” Liu Wentian said with an amused look as he glanced at Wang Baiyun.
