Chapter 160: Xiao Yan gets humiliated
"Nalan Yanran?" Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was suddenly enlightened, and then his face changed drastically. Now he finally understood why Ge Ye wanted to discuss with him in private, it was to save his face.
He didn't believe that Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family especially just to visit his so-called Uncle Xiao, so there was only one possibility: breaking off the engagement!
"Haha, it turns out to be Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Mr. Nalan. I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to have grown up so much. I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Master Yunyun and became a fighter at the age of thirteen. You are gifted."
"Uncle Xiao, you are too kind. Compared with the real geniuses, my niece is just an ordinary person." Nalan smiled sweetly without showing a trace of pride. Ever since she met 'Xiao Huohuo' and broke through to become a fighter at the age of thirteen, there was nothing worth bragging about for her.
"Uncle Xiao, my niece came here to discuss something important with you. I wonder if I could have a moment to talk to you."
"Sure enough." Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Zhan sighed secretly. What was coming would eventually come. Ignoring the dissatisfied looks of the three elders of the Xiao family, he stood up and was about to take Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran out of the hall.
In the corner of the hall, Xiao Yan's heart was already overwhelmed by anger. In Xiao Zhan's opinion, Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye chose to discuss it privately to save his face.
But in Xiao Yan's eyes, it was different. At this moment, he had only been through two years of his three-year baptism and had just entered a period of sharp change. His mind and perspective on issues were far from as mature as they would be a year later.
After Xun'er's "spoiler", he knew that Nalan Yanran's purpose was to break off the engagement.
In his opinion, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Zhan to "borrow a word" one after another, which was obviously because they were afraid of being criticized by others. They planned to secretly force his father to cancel the engagement.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Before Xiao Zhan could reply, Xiao Yan raised his ferocious face and suddenly said, "Miss Nalan, Elder Ge Ye, there is no need to ask for your permission. We may not agree to your request today."
Xiao Yan's voice caused the hall to suddenly become quiet, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Yan, who had become hideous in the corner. The corners of their mouths simultaneously revealed a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
"Xiao Yan, step back. You have no right to speak here." With a gloomy face, the second elder, who was most displeased with Xiao Yan among the three elders, shouted.
"Xiao Yan, please be aware of your identity." The Great Elder also spoke slowly, his tone carrying undisguised disgust.
"Three elders, you agreed quite quickly, but do you know what exactly Nalan Yanran is going to ask for?" Xiao Yan sneered as he slowly stood up and said sarcastically.
He had had enough of these three old guys. They always embarrassed him and his father Xiao Zhan. Now that Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran made a request, they agreed without even asking.
Hearing this, the three elders were also slightly stunned. Although they were very dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's tone, they were also very curious about what Nalan Yanran wanted to discuss with Xiao Zhan in private. They immediately asked in surprise: "Then tell me."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then turned to look at Nalan Yanran, his dark pupils filled with undisguised anger.
"Yan'er, step back." Just when Xiao Yan was about to start a verbal attack on Nalan Yanran, Xiao Zhan's stern voice suddenly rang out.
"Father, even you can't guess what they are planning to do?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan sighed softly and said helplessly: "Of course I guessed it, but Yan'er, they are already considering the reputation of my Xiao family by being able to talk to me in private. Don't cause trouble again."
"Please forgive me for being unfilial. They are trying to protect their reputation and secretly force you. They want to achieve their goal without being branded as 'bullying others with power'. Today I will expose their ugly faces in front of everyone."
Xiao Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xiao Zhan. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and turned his gaze to Nalan Yanran, asking, "Are you Nalan Yanran?"
"So what?" Nalan Yanran frowned slightly.
She followed her grandfather Nalan Jie's instructions and secretly and peacefully dissolved the engagement without hurting the reputation of either family.
Who would have thought that a fool would show up and pester her? And it seemed that she was the one who was engaged to him, which made her, who was already proud, very unhappy.
"May I ask what Miss Nalan wants to say to my father in private?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"It has nothing to do with you." Nalan Yanran turned her head away. She didn't have the slightest good impression of the guy in front of her who was pestering her.
Compared with 'Xiao Huohuo', there is a world of difference.
Oh no, how could Xiao Yan be comparable to Him? It should be said that he is just a toad croaking and wanting to eat swan meat!
"It has nothing to do with me?" Xiao Yan sneered, "What a good 'it has nothing to do with me'. I think you want to force my father to cancel the engagement!"
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent. Everyone was shocked by Xiao Yan's words. After a while, the eyes they looked at Xiao Zhan changed. It was no longer the usual awe, but a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.
Nalan Yanran was also stunned by Xiao Yan's words, and then she looked at Xiao Yan as if he was an idiot. It seemed that the guy in front of her was overthinking and was confused by anger.
After a while, Nalan Yanran slowly said, "I originally wanted the two families to resolve the issue peacefully and privately. This will not hurt the Xiao family's reputation. Since you've brought it up, I'll get straight to the point."
As she spoke, Nalan Yanran turned her gaze to Xiao Zhan at the top.
Looking at Xiao Zhan, whose face was extremely ugly, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath and said lightly: "Uncle Xiao, I think you should have guessed it."
Xiao Zhan nodded slowly. If the other party had unreasonably broken off the engagement, he might have been furious, but now it was his son who had pointed it out. This made him feel angry but had nowhere to vent. In silence, Xiao Zhan seemed to have aged a lot.
"Father, now you finally see their ugly faces." Xiao Yan pointed indignantly.
At this moment, he was already starting to feel a little panicked. The criticism of Nalan Yanran that he had imagined did not come true. Instead, his father Xiao Zhan was subjected to countless critical glances.
"Yan'er, shut up." For the first time, Xiao Zhan scolded Xiao Yan.
"Father, I."
"Shut up. Aren't you embarrassed enough?" Xiao Zhan glared at him fiercely, feeling very disappointed in him. Even if the other person came to cancel the engagement, it wasn't your turn to make it clear in public.
"Yes." Helplessly, Xiao Yan could only lower his head and say nothing more. In his heart, he cursed Nalan Yanran's ancestors for almost eighteen generations.
