Noticing that Li Yan's face was not very good-looking, Li Xue asked curiously, "Brother, is there something in trouble over there Sister Xia Mu?"

"It's a little tricky, you can take a taxi to the Nanshan villa area by yourself, don't go wrong with the house number 18, I'll go to Xia Mu to have a look." Li Yan returned to the car as he spoke, and quickly walked away.

Hearing that Li Yan lived in the Nanshan villa area and drove a BMW, several students got together and chatted in a whisper, and one of the girls who thought she was quite attractive also asked Li Xue about her brother's situation.

"Don't worry about it, my brother is about to get married, and he is destined to miss you. Li Xue said with a smile to several female classmates.

"I'm going to get married soon, that's a pity. A girl joked: "I said Xiaoxue, why didn't you tell your sisters in advance about a local tyrant brother, do you have a rich cousin or cousin, maybe I will be your cousin or cousin in the future." ”

Li Yan didn't know that he had become the object of several jokes, and quickly rushed to Xia Mu's residence.

Xia Mu didn't return to the imperial capital during the Chinese New Year last year, she was very resistant to that place, and planned to live in Funing for a long time, so she bought a house in the community near the company.

When Li Yan arrived at her door, the door was open, and there were two bodyguards in suits standing at the door, looking extraordinary.

As soon as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by the two bodyguards, one of whom asked in a low voice, "Who are you and who are you looking for?"

Li Yan glanced at him and shouted loudly inside, "Xia Mu, I'm here!"

Soon, Xia Mu ran out in surprise, followed by a middle-aged man, whose facial features were slightly similar to Xia Mu, presumably her father Xia Yun.

"Li Yan, it's not convenient for me to be here today, or you can talk to your godmother and godfather, and I will go over for dinner next time I have a chance." Xia Mu said.

Li Yan smiled and said, "That's not good, my parents specified that they want you to have dinner together, if you don't go, I won't be able to pay the errand!"

Without waiting for Xia Mu to speak again, Xia Yun behind her walked over and said in a deep voice: "You are Mr. Li of the fake taste restaurant, I am Xia Mu's father, thank you for taking care of our family Xia Mu." ”

Xia Yun said thank you, but his tone didn't seem very polite, because he knew that the reason why Yao Qian failed to bring Xia Mu back to the imperial capital was largely due to Li Yan's obstruction.

At the beginning, Xia Yun thought that Li Yan had that kind of thoughts about Xia Mu, and Li Yan made a big career at a young age, much stronger than Yao Qian of the Yao family, if Xia Mu could be with him, it would be a good choice, so Xia Yun did not force his daughter to go home.

But later things developed beyond his expectations, Xia Mu became the goddaughter of the Li family, and Li Yan's official girlfriend also appeared publicly, which means that Li Yan cannot become the son-in-law of the Xia family, and Xia Mu must return to the imperial capital to complete the marriage.

For this matter, Xia Yun did not hesitate to take the time to come to Funing in person in his busy schedule.

"Hello Mr. Xia. Li Yan shook hands with Xia Yun and said indifferently: "Xia Mu is my godsister, and it is right to take care of her." ”

He called Xia Yun "Mr. Xia" instead of "Uncle Xia", which was enough to show his attitude towards Xia Yun, and at the same time pointed out that he was Xia Mu's godbrother.

In this way, in everything related to Xia Mu, he, as an elder brother, naturally has the right to intervene.

"Mr. Li, I think you should have known that Xia Mu has a marriage contract, and I just let her go because of her studies before, and I didn't force her to go back to the imperial capital, and the man should marry the woman when she marries, I hope you don't interfere in this matter. Xia Yun said straight to the point.

Li Yan was not surprised by his remarks, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Xia Mu has the autonomy to marry, and it is her freedom to marry whom, of course I will not interfere, and in the same way, I also hope that Mr. Xia will not infringe on her personal rights." ”

Li Yan's words can be described as high-sounding, from a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with his words, even if he is a father, he has no right to force his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like.

In terms of marriage, Xia Mu is more courageous than many women from big families, even in the face of her father, she is still very firm and said: "Dad, I will not go back to the imperial capital with you, let alone marry someone like Yao Qian, you die of this heart!"

was still so faceless in front of outsiders, Xia Yun's face instantly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you say whether to marry or not, and even what I say may not work, for this marriage, several clan elders have agreed!"

"Whoever agrees with who marries, I am not the only woman in the Xia family, those clan elders want to marry the Yao family, so let their own granddaughter marry Yao Qian, why do you want to pull me into the water!" Xia Mu said angrily.

"What are you talking about!" Xia Yun stiffened his face and said, "Is your identity the same as others?You are my Xia Yun's daughter, what qualifications does the girl on the side have to marry on behalf of my Xia family!"

Generally, when a big family marries, they will elect children with relatively high status, and if it is a member of the collateral clan, it doesn't matter whether they are married or not, because the collateral family does not represent the will of a family at all.

Seeing that he said eloquently, Xia Mu sneered: "I'm really embarrassed, I really don't have such a qualification, whoever wants it will take it." ”

Xia Yun was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "I don't understand, what's wrong with marrying into the Yao family, be your wife Kuo in peace and stability, what do you want, rush to work every day like now, this is the life you want?"

His words didn't have much impact on Xia Mu, his attitude was still resolute, and he said: "I don't ask for a rich life, and my current income can also make me live a good life." ”

Xia Mu is now working as a manager in a fake taste restaurant, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and he doesn't have to pay off the mortgage, so he has a really good life.

In terms of material, it is certainly incomparable with the life of that kind of young lady, but she lives a very relaxed and comfortable life, and she is not very tired from going to work every day.

If you marry into the Yao family, you don't have to go to work in the future, your body is relaxed, and your heart will definitely be more tired.

"Mr. Xia, it stands to reason that this is your Xia family's family matter, I can't interject, but Xia Mu is my godsister, I can't watch my sister marry a scumbag, let alone let others force her to marry a scumbag!" Li Yan said in a timely manner, and his tone was very hard.

"Mr. Li, I know that you have a wide network in Jiangnan and a lot of influence in the imperial capital, but it doesn't mean that you can meddle in other people's housework casually. Xia Yun's face was ugly, he looked at Li Yan and said, "To put it mildly, you can't help but be too lenient!"

Expecting him to be angry, Li Yan smiled indifferently: "I just said very clearly, Xia Mu is my sister, I will not interfere with her freedom to marry, but I will not allow others to interfere, who to marry is completely her personal freedom, and whoever forces her to do what she doesn't want to do is against me." ”

Xia Mu glanced at him with emotion, Li Yan released such words, obviously to go toe-to-toe with the Xia family and the Yao family, which was equivalent to two more enemies.

Xia Yun didn't expect Li Yan to leave no room in this matter, it can be seen that the relationship between Li Yan and Xia Mu is still very good, which puts him in a dilemma.

He didn't want to offend Li Yan to death, but Xia Mu didn't get married, and it was difficult for the Yao family to explain, after all, it was a marriage that was agreed many years ago, and if he reversed his word, it would have a very bad impact on the reputation of the Xia family.

And at the beginning, this marriage was first proposed by the Xia family, and now they suddenly say that they will not marry, what does the Yao family think?

Sensing Xia Yun's hesitation, Li Yan's tone eased slightly: "Actually, there is no other solution to this matter, either let other women of the Xia family marry, or let the Yao family take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, so that both parties are not embarrassed." ”

The first method Xia Yun automatically omitted, firstly, the Xia family has no other suitable candidates, and secondly, the Yao family will not agree, and the second method may still have a certain degree of feasibility.

After thinking about it, Xia Yun gritted his teeth and said: "I have negotiated with the head of the Yao family before, and the other party has determined this marriage, if Mr. Li has a way to get the Yao family to withdraw from the marriage, then ...... Then I'll admit it!"

Considering that Li Yan is now in full swing and his influence is getting bigger and bigger, it is obviously unwise to offend him, so Xia Yun has no choice but to give up the Yao family.

He had another consideration, Xia Mu failed to become the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but became the goddaughter of the Li family, and from a certain point of view, he also found an ally for the Xia family.

With Li Yan's potential, it is entirely possible for the power to surpass the Yao family in the future, and it is also a good choice to befriend Li Yan.

Bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Li Yan didn't finish his words, saying that he could find a way to give it a try, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he could force the Yao family to cancel the marriage contract.

Speaking of which, Xia Yun knew that 90% of this marriage was blown, and if he wanted to make friends with Li Yan, he had to go through the road of his daughter, and he had to deal with the father-daughter relationship first.

Rarely squeezing out a smile, he looked at Xia Mu and said: "Let's put aside the marriage first, Dad won't force you, it's going to be the New Year soon, you didn't go back last year, you should always celebrate the New Year at home this year." ”

Li Yan knew that Xia Mu didn't want to go back to Xia's house, and it was really inappropriate not to go back all year round, so he helped: "I get engaged in a few days, Xia Mu will definitely participate, at least I have to wait until I get engaged before returning to the imperial capital." ”

He said so, Xia Yun had no choice but to nod and return to the hotel with his bodyguard.

Seeing Xia Yun leave, Li Yan said to Xia Mu: "Let's go, go to my house for dinner, and take you to visit my new residence by the way." ”

Xia Mu smiled bitterly: "Where am I still in the mood to have a big meal now, this marriage is about to drive me crazy, fortunately you came over, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with my dad." ”

Li Yan opened the car door, sat in the cab and said, "You don't think that what I just said is just a temporary perfunctory for your father, I know some people from big families in the imperial capital, and through them, I may be able to make the Yao family retreat." ”
