It is not difficult to tell from Jian Botong's expression that this Teng Zijun has an extraordinary status.
From the time he appeared until now, Jian Botong asked Teng Zijun for his opinion several times, and his flattery was beyond words.
Although Liu Wuxie and Jian Xinger had an unusual relationship, they never asked about her family background.
"This is your wishful thinking. Have I approved it?"
Myolie Jian stuck to her position and was not in the family at all when collecting the bride price.
All this was done without her knowledge, and the person involved did not know.
Although it is the parents' orders or the matchmaker's advice, at least the attitude of the parties involved must be consulted.
"Young men should be married when they are young, and girls should be married when they are young. I have raised you so big. Is this too much to ask for? Furthermore, Mr. Teng has a prominent family background and a good character. You can't find such a good person even if you hold a lantern.
What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Jian Botong was very angry. He should never have allowed Jian Xing'er to take part in the Tianbao Sect disciple assessment.
If he hadn't become a member of Tianbao Sect, he wouldn't have waited so long.
"Since Mr. Teng is such a good character and I, Jian Xing'er, really can't compare to me, please ask Mr. Teng to take back the betrothal gift."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of Jian Xinger's eyes. If she was praising Teng Zijun's family background, that would be fine. Praising his character is equivalent to praising the stones in the pit, which are fragrant and soft.
"The betrothal gift has been received, there is no reason to return it!"
Jian Botong slapped the table hard. Even his daughter refused to listen to him. He was a failure as a father.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Miss Xing'er may have been deceived. With a little enlightenment, she can figure it out."
Teng Zijun suddenly spoke, appearing for the second time now.
Obviously referring to Sang Huai, thinking that Jian Xing'er was instigated by Liu Wuxie to deceive her mind.
"You have deceived your mind. I made it very clear that there is no possibility between us. Please don't pester me in the future. If nothing happens, I will go back first."
Myolie Jian didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Miss Jian, there's no need to be angry. I just mean it out of kindness. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the Jian family?"
Teng Zijun stood up together, with a hint of threat in his tone.
Tell Jian Xing'er clearly that if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Jian family. Could it be that something big happened to the Jian family?
The Jian family is not a big family, just a few hundred people. Although it is not a big family, it is enough to be self-sufficient.
There have been several good talents in recent years, and Jian Xing'er is one of them. As long as he establishes a firm foothold in Tianbao Sect and becomes an elite disciple, the family's status will also rise.
"what do you want to say!"
Myolie Jian sat down angrily. She had been away from the family for more than a year, and many things happened that she didn't know about.
"Let uncle do the talking!"
Teng Zijun sat down and did not continue talking. Some words were more convenient for Jian Botong to say. After all, they were father and daughter.
His eyes fell on his father's face, waiting for his answer.
Liu Wuxie did not interrupt the conversation between them from beginning to end, drinking tea silently and listening to their argument.
"So what happened!"
Jian Xing'er's body was trembling, Liu Wuxie gently grabbed her little hand under the table, indicating that she didn't have to be afraid, he had everything under her control.
When Liu Wuxie grabbed her little hand, Jian Xing'er's body trembled slightly. Strangely, her nervous mood suddenly calmed down.
It is not difficult to tell that Myolie Jian was completely unaware of this marriage. It was her father who made the final decision and accepted the betrothal gift for her.
This is their family matter, and Liu Wuxie has no right to interfere. As a friend, all he can do is comfort Jian Xing'er, telling her not to worry, and that he will be on her side.
The purpose of bringing him here is nothing more than this.
"well……"
Jian Botong suddenly sighed deeply, with a look of helplessness on his face.
No one said anything and waited quietly for his next words. Teng Zijun ordered a pot of fragrant tea and drank it himself.
He was different from Liu Wuxie. Liu Wuxie drank while looking out the window, completely aloof from the incident.
A trace of success flashed across Teng Zijun's face. He had been coveting Jian Xing'er's appearance for a long time, and he was finally going to achieve his wish.
Jian Xinger's heart skipped a beat, as if she had guessed what had happened to her family.
My father takes care of all the family affairs, big and small. He is in charge of the food, drink, toilet, and sleep of a family of hundreds of people. The resources consumed every month are terrifying.
"Did Xiao Yi get into trouble again?"
Myolie Jian gritted her teeth, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
"kindness!"
Jian Botong nodded.
"Tell me, what trouble did you get into this time, and how did you collect the betrothal gift from the Teng family."
Jian Xing'er let out a miserable laugh, which was basically what she guessed.
The Jian family must have encountered difficulties and happened to ask the Teng family for help. The Teng family was willing to help the Jian family through the crisis, but they had to agree to one condition: marrying Jian Xing'er to Teng Zijun.
The Teng family and the Jian family live together in a big city. Jian Xing'er and Teng Zijun have known each other since childhood. Teng Zijun's character and Jian Xing'er's attitude have already explained everything.
It would be fine if this Teng Zijun was a gentleman. He had done all kinds of evil since he was a child, and he had harmed many women from good families. He did too many things that were harmful to nature and justice because the Teng family was a big family in the city.
Let her marry such a man, he would rather kill her.
"After you left the family a year ago, Xiao Yi became obsessed with gambling beasts. In less than a month, he lost millions of spirit stones. In desperation, I had to sell some family property, but I still couldn't make up the numbers."
Jian Botong sighed repeatedly, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Who is Xiao Yi?"
Liu Wuxie suddenly asked.
"My half-brother."
When Jian Xing'er was three years old, her mother fell ill and left. Her father remarried and gave birth to Xiao Yi. Jian Botong treated him like a baby.
There have been many troubles over the years, but in the end it was my father who stepped in to sort things out.
As he got older, Xiao Yi not only did not restrain himself, but also intensified his behavior. When he was fifteen years old, he peeped at Jian Xing'er taking a bath, showing that she was a frivolous maid.
This kind of thing happens often, and his father doesn't control him and lets him do whatever he wants.
Myolie Jian was beaten to pieces several times, and her stepmother quickly went to Jian Botong to cry and complain. Myolie Jian was inevitably scolded by her father, saying that she did not feel sorry for her brother.
"So you sold me to the Teng family, is that right?"
Jian Xinger questioned her father.
The Jian family is just a third-rate small family. If they lose one million spiritual stones at once, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged.
There were still hundreds of people in the family waiting to eat. At this time, people from the Teng family appeared and were willing to help the Jian family through the crisis, provided that the two families got married.
Teng Zijun met Jian Xing'er once when he was sixteen years old. From then on, he couldn't stop it. Over the years, he worked hard and was rejected every time.
Jian Xing'er couldn't bear the disturbance, so she chose to join the Tianbao Sect, out of sight but out of mind.
"How can you peddle? Mr. Teng is a disciple of Jinyang Temple, and the Teng family is a big family. It is your blessing to marry into the Teng family."
Jian Botong doesn't like to hear the word "selling", the fact is
That's really the case.
If word spreads, a father who sells his daughter will lose his dignity as a human being in the future.
"You are really a good father to me. Have you taken care of me since my mother left? Do you know what I think? You protect that precious son every day. If something goes wrong in the family, you want to come to me. Why don't you take care of me?"
What do I think of myself as, a commodity? I’m at your mercy."
Big tears fell from the corners of Jian Xing'er's eyes, sobbing softly.
"Without me, how could you have grown up so big? Now you have begun to forget your roots, and you dare not even listen to my words. Believe it or not, I will take you back by force now."
Jian Botong slapped the table again, suddenly stood up, and pointed at Jian Xing'er, not like a father.
"When I grew up, I didn't grow up eating rice from the Jian family. After my mother left, do you know what my stepmother gave me to eat? Every time she brought it to me, it was the leftover food from yesterday. It already stinked.
Even pigs and dogs won't eat it if given to me. I rely on myself to go out and do odd jobs to survive little by little. Do you know this?"
Myolie Jian stood up together and almost shouted, venting the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for these years.
All the people around the inn looked over, wondering what had happened and why the quarrel suddenly started.
Liu Wuxie glanced at the two of them and finally understood why Jian Xing'er wanted him to come with her.
She faced her father's coercion alone, and I was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it.
There is someone with her who can carry it down together.
Jian Botong was stunned. It was obviously the first time he knew this. Ever since he had Xiao Yi, he had really ignored Jian Xing'er. He didn't expect him to have such a difficult life.
"It's my father who is sorry for you. Now the family is in trouble. Only you can help the family overcome the crisis. Just think of it as begging you for my father. Come home with me."
After Jian Botong finished speaking, he looked guilty.
As a father, he is really unworthy.
No wonder Jian Xing'er informed Liu Wuxie in advance and told him not to talk, because Liu Wuxie wanted to beat someone now.
As a father, you don’t do human things.
"hehe……"
Jian Xing'er laughed miserably. There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. From the moment she left the family, she never thought about going back.
"I don't want to know or take care of what's going on between you. I won't go back with you."
After Jian Xing'er finished speaking, she sat weakly on the chair. When she said these words, her body seemed to have been hollowed out.
She practiced with Liu Wuxie in the underground demon world, and nothing could be seen on the surface. She didn't expect that she had suffered so much grievance in her heart. She had been holding it in her heart, and she was able to vent it today.
●woаΙΚs.coΜ■
"It's not up to you. You can't go back today even if you don't go back today."●woаΙΚs.coΜ■
Jian Botong looked ruthless. Without the help of the Teng family, the Jian family would be destroyed soon.
"You plan to use force to succeed!"
Myolie Jian's face was full of anger. The father in her heart had died long ago. The man standing in front of her was so strange. He was not the same person as the father in her heart.
"Miss Xing'er, why are you doing this? Our marriage is not urgent for the time being. We have been together for more than a year. Don't you want to go home and see us?"
Teng Zijun stood up and said seriously.
"shut up!"
Jian Xing'er was furious at the moment, and Teng Zijun's words at this time were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
"presumptuous!"
Jian Botong shouted sharply, the Teng family was his last life-saving straw, he must seize it, what does it mean to offend the Teng family.
"I'm just going to be arrogant today. If you have the ability, you can kill me."
Jian Xing'er looked like she was ready to die, she would rather die than give in.
