Chapter 702 Luo Ning's 2nd
Chapter 702 Luo Ning's 2nd
Ling Wei leaned closer to Xie Chang'an and explained the situation in a few words.
She couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to rest on the sofa for a while.
After considering it for a moment, Quan Jin advised, "Little sister, things here haven't been resolved yet. Why don't you come to my house? It's quiet there!"
"Okay!" Ling Wei nodded. She was so tired and just wanted to find a quiet place to sleep.
Quan Jin was overjoyed and ran away with Ling Wei in his arms.
As she carried Ling Wei upstairs, Ling Wei half-closed her eyes and pleaded, "Brother Quan, just find me a guest room!"
"Okay!" Quan Jin gently carried Ling Wei upstairs to the second floor.
The butler tiptoed behind, intending to tidy up the guest rooms.
Quan Jin gave him a wink, and the butler immediately ran to open Quan Jin's door and turn on the light.
Quan Jin placed Ling Wei on his bed, took off his shoes, and carefully covered her with a blanket.
Little sister, get some rest!
Quan Jin turned off the light and quietly left.
As soon as I closed the bedroom door, I felt a sharp gaze.
He looked up and saw Chief Quan standing at the door of the study, waving to him.
Quan Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he awkwardly entered the study.
Chief Quan sat in his chair, lit a cigarette, and then looked at Quan Jin, who was standing trembling by the desk.
"Ling Wei is only fourteen years old!"
"Hmm..." Quan Jin felt even more uneasy and couldn't stand still.
Chief Quan raised an eyebrow. "Can you wait?"
Even if it means getting beaten up, he's determined to speak his mind. Quan Jin declared firmly, "As long as there's hope, I'll keep waiting!"
Chief Quan snorted coldly.
He had high hopes for Ling Wei; she was the next Luo Ning.
But he's too young; he'll have to wait four more years to reach adulthood!
Four years later, Quan Jin was twenty-eight.
If Ling Wei has no romantic feelings for him, it will be very difficult for her to find a partner at the age of twenty-eight.
Just then, the butler knocked on the door and reported, "Master, the Third Young Mistress wants to see you!"
Before Chief Quan could even express his opinion, Quan's mother walked in with a beaming smile.
"Grandpa, how have you been lately? We're living in the countryside now, so we can't..."
"Speak your mind!" Chief Quan rudely interrupted his mother's feigned greeting.
"Yes!" Mother Quan nodded and brought up the important matter with a smile.
"Grandpa, Quan has been very well-behaved since he went to the countryside. He spends his days reading or exercising and has made a lot of progress. It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Grandpa."
He's 23 this year, well past the age for marriage.
I heard he likes the third daughter of Staff Officer Xiao in the capital. I'd like to ask the old man to arrange a dinner with Staff Officer Xiao to finalize the marriage between Quan and that girl. It would be even better if they could get married by the end of the year!
Chief Quan snorted heavily. Wasn't he supposed to be studying and exercising in the countryside? Why is he looking at the Xiao family in the capital again?
The third son's wife's words were full of holes. Did she think he was senile and so easily fooled?!
Don't think he didn't know that Quan had only stayed in the countryside for less than a month before heading to the capital.
He didn't send anyone to arrest him simply because he didn't want to waste time and manpower.
Just have someone keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing any trouble.
"Quan Jin is the eldest son and grandson. No one else is allowed to get married until he does!"
Quan Jin, who was observing from the sidelines, suddenly felt immense pressure.
Mother Quan gritted her teeth in anger; the old man was biased to the extreme.
"Grandpa, that's not fair. So, if Quan Jin never gets married, then his younger siblings can't get married either?"
Chief Quan glared at his mother with wide eyes, "There is an order of seniority; the rules cannot be broken."
If anyone in the Quan family gets another girl pregnant, or if any girl in the Quan family becomes pregnant, they will all be expelled from the family! The Quan family has no such shameless wretches!
"Yes!" Mother Quan, unable to resist the powerful, stormed off in a huff.
In the study, only Quan Jin and Chief Quan remained.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Quan Jin murmured softly, "Grandpa, like this..."
"Quan Jin, you've made great progress in the past year and a half. Keep up the good work and visit Luo Ning's family more often." Chief Quan waved his hand, signaling Quan Jin to leave.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Quan Jin was deeply moved. His efforts had been recognized by his grandfather, who had even bought him some time...
After Quan Jin left, Chief Quan took a deep drag on his cigarette, secretly feeling uneasy.
Quan Jin, the burden of the Quan family's continued growth, the hope and future of the Quan family all rest on your shoulders.
You need to work harder!
He didn't expect anything from those good-for-nothings, but he also didn't want them to get married and have children before Quan Jin.
Quan Jin's child must be the eldest, and all resources will be available to his child in the future.
Those good-for-nothings, they don't work hard in this life, they just enjoy life, they even pre-spend their sons' money, so their sons will have nothing to do with them in the future.
In Luo Ning's home, in the study, Luo Baiwan quickly skimmed through the materials Xie Chang'an had given him.
Xie Chang'an sat patiently in his chair, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the closed kitchen door.
That document was collected by Ling at Luo Ning's request. Luo Ning had mentioned this matter to Xie Chang'an before, and also mentioned Bai Xi.
At the time, Luo Ning didn't want to tell his father-in-law the truth, but now Bai Xi has made a comeback.
Let him reveal the truth.
After reading the materials, Luo Baiwan looked incredulous. "Luo Ning must be trying to fool me!"
Luo Ning sighed inwardly in the kitchen and continued cooking.
Xie Chang'an pinched the bridge of his nose; he hadn't expected his father-in-law to be so stubborn.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you a month to move out of the courtyard house and we shouldn't have any contact afterward!"
Luo Baiwan's mind went blank for a moment. "What, what do you mean?"
Xie Chang'an, with a stern face, stated forcefully, "Since you have chosen Bai Xi, and Luo Ning and Bai Xi are irreconcilable enemies, we have no choice but to give up."
Since we've given you the company shares, just take them. Consider it a gift from me and Luo Ning.
We will also try our best to find Er Ya and reunite your family of three.
"That's not what I meant!" Luo Baiwan exclaimed anxiously. Although Luo Ning wasn't his daughter, he had already treated her as his own.
"I was just in a hurry, that's why..."
"What kind of person is Bai Xi? You don't believe Ling Wei's evidence or our evidence. You only want to believe what happened back then. But have you ever thought that you've been separated for more than 30 years and your sister has long been taken away by time?"
There are some details here that haven't been revealed. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: Bai Xi wasn't abducted by Old Li back then.
Instead, she went along on her own initiative, and her actions even influenced Li Laoguai.
Er Ya was stolen by Li Laoguai and is still missing. Bai Xi is definitely involved in this.
Xie Chang'an sighed inwardly. His father-in-law was a good man in every way, except that he was a bit stubborn and too kind.
Luo Baiwan was speechless; it seemed that was indeed the case.
Seeing that Luo Baiwan's expression softened slightly, Xie Chang'an continued his incisive analysis, "I've been married to Luo Ning for so long, has she ever done anything to hurt you? Why is she unwilling to compromise on Bai Xi's matter? Haven't you ever thought about why?"
