Chapter 1656: Chapter 941: Rebuffed/Worried_3

That means she plans to go back to her hometown for development. If she starts dating in these years, she’s likely to break up by the time she graduates.

She doesn’t want to be like her sister, constantly urged by her parents about marriage and laughed at by outsiders. She really doesn’t want to experience that feeling.

The outcome of the discussion was as expected; Old Sir Wang made it clear that if Li Xiaoyan agreed to be his granddaughter-in-law, he would give her the formula for free. Otherwise, there was nothing more to discuss.

Wang Qiayu chimed in to help and was immediately scolded harshly by the old man. Naturally, Mr. Wang and Madam Wang also sided with Old Sir Wang. As for Wang Qiao’en, who had always been making things difficult for Li Xiaoyan outside, he unexpectedly said many good words for her, but unfortunately, his persuasion had no effect.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyan, not knowing how to communicate with Old Sir Wang, had to leave with her younger siblings.

"That old man is too stubborn." As the car drove out of the village, Li Xiaoxian exhaled heavily, "Selling the formula, it wouldn’t be hard for Wang Qiayu to find a wife. Why does he have to fixate on our sister?"

"Second Sister, are you jealous?"

"Nonsense!" Li Xiaoxian flicked her younger brother’s forehead heavily, "What am I jealous about? If you keep talking nonsense, see if I won’t beat you up."

Li Xiaoning chuckled mischievously, "If you’re not feeling guilty, why don’t you dare look at me? Second Sister, do you know that you have a habit of not daring to look at others, your eyes wandering when you’re lying?"

Li Xiaoxian, whose thoughts were exposed, was terribly embarrassed, "Sister, aren’t you going to do something about him?"

Li Xiaoyan glanced at her sister, "Li Xiaoning is telling the truth, so why should I intervene? By the way, Xiaoxian, you’ve met the Wang family, have you made up your mind?"

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaoxian looked puzzled, "I like Wang Qiao’en, what does it have to do with meeting his family?"

"What are you pretending for? You like Wang Qiao’en, but if you marry into the Wang family, won’t you have to face everyone in the Wang family?

His grandparents and parents will need his support, and his sister is quite fiery. You need to think clearly, marrying someone means you have to handle your relationship with his family."

"Sister!" Li Xiaoxian’s face turned red, "We haven’t even gotten that far, why talk about something so distant? Besides, whether he likes me is still uncertain. Anyway, today at his house, he was the one secretly watching you now and then.

Honestly, I’m quite conflicted. If the man I love has my sister in his heart, what should I do?

If he likes another woman, I can at least be a little sassy and demand he only thinks of me. But if he likes my sister, I can’t just openly say he’s not allowed to think of my sister, can I?

If I can’t control my jealousy and blame my sister, what then? The more I think about it, the more conflicted I feel. It seems like if I really end up with him, the obstacles are endless.

I’ve realized that fate really loves to mess with people. My sister and he are compatible in every way, and he likes my sister, but she doesn’t like him.

As for me, I’m not very compatible with him, I like him, but he doesn’t necessarily like me. What is this all about, really...

Li Xiaoning glanced at Li Xiaoxian, who kept babbling on, shook his head, "Big Sister, Second Sister has lost her mind, don’t bother with her."

"Got it." Li Xiaoyan nodded, "She’s the textbook definition of someone who’s gone crazy."

"Annoying!" Li Xiaoxian didn’t dare to do anything to Li Xiaoyan, who was driving, so she grabbed her brother Li Xiaoning and started to beat him up. The two of them

On the way, Li Xiaoyan called Qu Yue to report the progress of the matter. After she finished speaking, Qu Yue pondered for a moment and told her to wait for news.

The Wen Mansion was extremely lively at this time; it was Grandma Hua and Grandpa Ji’s wedding day. Both elders were in their sixties and were getting married for the first time, so the celebration was quite grand.

Early in the morning, Grandpa Ji, accompanied by a group of people, carried Grandma Hua in a sedan chair to the new house. After the ceremony, the two elders sat in the sedan chair and were carried around the Wen Mansion, and it was soon time for the luncheon.

Wen Xin had specially rushed over, partly to attend Grandma Hua’s wedding, but mainly because she missed her son and daughter.

When she saw her children, Wen Xin’s eyes turned a little red.

Luo Ye teased with a smile, "Mom, look at you, today is Grandma Hua and Grandpa Ji’s wedding, why are you so happy that you’re crying? Anyone who doesn’t know would think you’re marrying off your daughter."

Wen Xin snorted, "You two brats, you’ve put your dad and mom in the back of your minds, and your grandpa is always thinking about you, and none of you go back."

"Oh, is Mom acting cute now?" Luo Ye laughed and hugged her mom, "Once Grandma Hua’s wedding is over, we’ll be heading back to our hometown, right?

Mom, why are you throwing a childish tantrum? We’ve already agreed to go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year, haven’t you forgotten?"

"I’m afraid you’ll forget." Wen Xin replied, giving her daughter a look, "How long has it been since you called home?"

"Xiao Xin, at most it’s only been two days, right?" Old Mrs. Wen chuckled, looking at her daughter, "I was there the other day when Ye’er called you. Ye’er, didn’t you call your mom yesterday?"

"I was too busy yesterday, didn’t manage to call yet before Mom came over..." Luo Ye shrugged, "Thank goodness I have you as a witness, Grandma."

Old Mrs. Wen smiled and looked at her daughter, "But, Xiao Xin’s temperament is quite nice now. She used to keep everything to herself, now she’s willing to talk about it, which is good."

"Mom..." Wen Xin pulled her daughter to sit beside the old lady, "I used to be so thoughtless, Mom never blamed me. I am really unfilial."

"On such a joyous day, why bring this up? You child..." Old Mrs. Wen smiled kindly, "I’m quite content now. Xiao Xin, you should be content too. Xiao Feng and Ye’er are so sensible. Stop finding faults with them."

Luo Ye giggled, "Mom isn’t finding fault with us, that’s her way of reminding us to always report our whereabouts to her no matter where we are."

"That’s right, that’s exactly what I want. You have no idea, without news from you, Mom worries like crazy." Wen Xin spoke as her eyes turned red, "Especially you, such a lovely girl, yet you chose such a dangerous job.

You tell me, with one incident after another, how many dangerous situations have you found yourself in? If others hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known anything.

And you..." Wen Xin looked sternly at Ye Xuan, who was sitting silent to the side, "If you ever associate with those dubious women again, I won’t let Ye’er be with you anymore. Even if you’re married, I’ll force Ye’er to divorce you."

Ye Xuan hurriedly promised, "Mom, I guarantee, it won’t happen again."

"Mom, what has upset you?" Luo Ye curiously looked at her mom. Even in past worries about her, she had never reacted this way.

Furthermore, today is a joyous occasion for Grandma Hua and Grandpa Ji, and Mom’s state of mind is remarkably off."

"It’s nothing..." Wen Xin sighed, "Yesterday, Jing Chen went to the bank and was stabbed by a thief. When I arrived, he had just barely escaped danger.

Mom realized that just going to the bank for money resulted in him being hurt like that. Ye’er, when you’re on a mission, there’s no way to avoid danger, how risky must that be?

Listen to Mom, once you’re married, stop doing those dangerous jobs. A person needs to be alive to have everything. If they lose their life, what’s the point of fighting for anything else?"

Luo Ye frowned slightly, "Where was Jing Chen injured?"

"He was stabbed twice in the stomach, trying to protect someone else." Wen Xin couldn’t help but sigh again, "I never imagined that in critical moments, the child would be so brave."
