Chapter 506(1/3)
Negotiation broke down
The conflict between the two made Han Tingli, who was sitting aside, feel extremely tormented.
He was on pins and needles and really didn't want to be there.
In the exchange just now, Xue Lian had shown her intention to win over and support him.
This is naturally a great thing for him!
But Mingjun is now facing off against Xue Lian, putting him in a very difficult position.
Who to help?!
On one side is the noble family who can decide their own future.
On one side is the "fellow sect" in Taoism.
This account seemed easy to settle, but he really didn't want to get involved in such an almost private matter.
But reason told him that the result of not helping both sides would be to offend both sides.
This made Han Tingli very anxious.
Just when he was sitting there like a quail, with his head lowered, in a dilemma, Xue Lian came to his rescue.
Xue Lian looked away from Mingjun, picked up the cup of cold tea, and turned to Han Tingli and said: "Han Tingli, I have finished what I just said to you. Since you agree, then you can
Let’s go first.”
"Here." Han Tingli quickly picked up the teacup and responded, nodding as if he was being pardoned, "Thank you, Mrs. Xue!"
The two tea cups touched each other in the air, and they both drank the tea in one gulp.
Xue Lian frowned slightly as the cold tea poured into her throat, but she still swallowed it.
She glanced at Han Tingli, who had also finished his drink, and said as farewell: "You can leave first. I still have something to discuss with Mingjun, so I won't see you off."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Han Tingli waved his hands repeatedly. He glanced at Mingjun who was still glaring angrily, but still did not say the words of help he wanted to express.
After all, it is a private matter between the two families, and his current status is also very embarrassing.
It's wrong to help anyone, and it's wrong not to help anyone.
Fortunately, he could escape now. He quickened his pace slightly and left the box as if he was running away.
Xue Lian and Mingjun were the only two people left in the box.
The two were silent for a while, and Xue Lian stood up without saying a word and walked to the box door and opened it.
He told Xiaogui who was guarding the door: "The tea is cold, please ask the store to change it for another pot."
"Okay, I'll go in person." Xiaogui agreed, walked into the box, picked up the teapot and walked out.
Xue Lian didn't say anything after giving her instructions. She walked step by step to the window in the box, turned her back to Mingjun, and let herself bask in the sun.
Xiaogui was very fast and delivered the new tea quickly as he trotted along.
When he entered the box again to serve tea, he realized that the atmosphere in the box seemed a bit strange.
He glanced left and right at Xue Lian and Mingjun, calmly placed the teapot in the center of the table, then turned to Xue Lian and said, "Young lady, the tea is here."
Xue Lian did not turn around when she heard this. She turned her back to Xiaogui and said, "I understand, you can go out. It's the same thing. Don't let anyone disturb you."
"Okay." Xiaogui actually wanted to ask Xue Lian if he needed help, but since Xue Lian told him so, he obeyed and exited the box.
In the box, the silence continued.
Xue Lian finally felt her body warming up while basking in the sun.
Since becoming one with Xie Sui, her body has become extremely cold easily.
The cup of herbal tea just now almost made her body stiff.
This state doesn't hurt her, it's just that she doesn't like it.
She slowly turned around and returned to her seat to sit down again.
He still didn't speak, but reached out to pick up the teacup in front of Mingjun, poured out the tea, then picked up the teapot and poured tea again.
Finally, I poured myself a full cup.
After finishing all this, Xue Lian picked up the tea cup in front of her and said to Mingjun: "I understand what you mean. Your Wang family is the leader of Xuanmen this time. You are also the number one person in Liyue.
His relatives and relatives are following Ouyang without knowing why, and it doesn’t look good on his face.”
"I also understand what Ouyang, the head of my family, means. He doesn't want to get married, not because he doesn't like Miss Shen He, but because he doesn't want the possible children between the two of them to disrupt the inheritance of our family that he has set."
"But although it was not stated explicitly, the head of the family has already given instructions. Everyone in your family has changed their name to Miss Shen He and Mrs. Shen He. Everything is just low-key and not publicized to the outside world."
"So, do you really care about such a ceremony?"
Mingjun's face didn't change at all as he listened, and he didn't even look at him.
He was determined to bite him to death and not let go.
Therefore, he did not answer Xue Lian's words.
She pretended not to have seen Xue Lian's tea ceremony.
The atmosphere is tense here again.
Xue Lian looked at Mingjun who was sitting sideways, slowly took back her raised hand, and drank all the tea in the cup.
Snap——
The empty tea cup was placed on the table without hesitation, and Xue Lian's gentle expression turned cold.
She didn't expect that the other party was so unsociable.
She presented facts, reasoned, and spoke softly, but the other party was indifferent at all, which made Xue Lian start to feel angry.
She stood up and came back to the window with a cold face.
Looking at the bustling Chihuyan outside the window, with her back to Mingjun, her tone was no longer so peaceful.
"I come here with great sincerity. Are you trying to be tough with my family by doing this?!"
"Humph!" Mingjun snorted coldly when he heard this. He looked at Xue Lian's back and said sarcastically, "Have you finally stopped pretending to be kind and started showing off your fangs?!"
"You are presumptuous!"
Xue Lian suddenly turned her head. With the light behind her, her face was hidden in the light and shadow, making her expression unclear.
I heard Xue Lian say in a solemn tone: "Your Xuanmen lineage was already in disaster five years ago when there was a riot! It was my family leader who suggested that Ningguang and Keqing move you to Liyue.
I lived a peaceful life in Hong Kong."
"I don't think I need to explain more, you should understand what kind of life your Xuanmen lineage lived before, right?"
"Now, I sincerely want to discuss with you, so that our two families can get closer, which is a good thing. But you have repeatedly made rude remarks, do you really look down on my family?!
"
"You insist on getting married. Do you think that without this guarantee, my family will still treat her badly?"
"Or do you want more?!"
you!
Mingjun's lips turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Xue Lian's temples, which were beating in anger.
Snap——
He slapped the table, stood up and said angrily: "You are spitting blood!"
"Am I spitting blood?!" Xue Lian said angrily without any concern for the other person's age, "Don't talk about things far away, just talk about things close by. You must be aware of the announcement issued by Tianquan Ningguang.
, in the situation where Liyue is about to change drastically, I came to you in advance and wanted your family to get a share of the pie. This is what you call me spitting blood."
"My Wang family doesn't need your charity!" The angry Mingjun was desperate. He supported the table with one hand to stabilize his body, and pointed at Xue Lian with a trembling hand, saying angrily.
"Don't pretend to be a good person! It would be fine if my Shen He really lived a good life with Ouyang, but what about now? It's Shen He who has left now!"
"You can't tell me the specific reasons, but you still want me to agree to your request. Do you think those benefits can make me give up caring about Shen He?!"
"So it's useless what you say!"
"If you want me to go find Shen He and come back, unless you get Ouyang to agree to get married, you can break the rules for me and I won't agree no matter how many benefits you give me!"
Xue Lian retorted: "How can two people get together without quarreling? In my eyes, the relationship between the two is very good. It's just a rare conflict. You must break this marriage?!"
"Marriage?" Mingjun said with disdain, "Bah, bad luck!"
Without waiting for Xue Lian to refute, he continued angrily: "What about a good relationship? If a good relationship makes Shen He leave directly because of a conflict?!"
"Are you unwilling to get married if you are in a good relationship? Don't say it's for the inheritance of your family. If it was really what those two people had agreed upon, my Wang family wouldn't covet your family's assets!"
"In my eyes, that Ouyang is not a good person!"
"My Shen He has gone through so much hardship since she was a child, but when she got to him, she was still asked to do some maid's work. Isn't your family Qixing? Isn't it rich? Why does Ouyang want my Shen He to go to eat out?
Serving?!"
"You are saying that my Xuanmen lineage is alive because of him Ouyang, then why even Shen He has come to visit me, an old man, several times, and how come the head of the family you call me has never come with you?!"
