Shang Qiu Meng Qian displayed a sincere attitude: “Uncle, this nephew was in love with Qing Qing the moment I met her and have feelings for her for a long time. It was just that Qing Qing likes Young Master Ya, this nephew did not want to come between the two. Now that Qing Qing is no longer related to Young Master Ya, this nephew wishes to marry her and give her the position as the wife of the future patriarch of the Shang Qiu Clan, I hope Uncle will give us this blessing!”
Bai Li Ren’s eyes released a faint flash.
The wife of the patriarch of the Shang Qiu Clan, this was a strong display of sincerity.
The Shang Qiu Clan was only just behind the Ji Mo Clan, and Shang Qiu Meng Qian was also a ten thousand in one genius.
However, could Shang Qiu Meng Qian really decide who is to be the wife of the next patriarch of the Shang Qiu Clan?
Taking what happened to Ji Mo Ya and Bai Li Zi Xi in the past as an example, both clans have displayed their intentions for the union and was just a step from forming a marriage proposal, yet Ji Mo Ya stubbornly did not agree, causing the idea to turn into dust.
Ji Mo Ya also cares greatly for Yan Lass; despite his clan disagreeing, he still maintained his stance, eventually leading to the situation of ‘killing the mother and taking the baby’, and the separation of the two.
That was why, no matter how colorful Shang Qiu Meng Qian painted, the most important thing was to confirm the Shang Qiu Clan’s attitude towards this union.
Bai Li Ren took a sip of tea before saying indifferently: “The youngsters nowadays are truly something. May I know what is the view of the elders in your family?”
He was just short of saying, ‘Brat! Stop trying to act in front of this old man, if you are capable, deal with the elders in your family before bringing this up again. Else there is nothing to talk about!’
Shang Qiu Meng Qian was a sharp person and immediately got the meaning.
He smiled and said: “This nephew had sent a note to inform the elders in my family, they will be sending the betrothal gifts in a few days!”
This was a guarantee that he would not be the same as Ji Mo Ya, that the elders in his clan would come and support this marriage.
Seeing that there was an initial development, Bai Li Ren no longer acted stiffly and forced himself to display a better face before he said: “Good to hear, let us discuss again when the Shang Qiu Clan Patriarch arrives. Nephew Shang Qiu, are you staying in the Bai Li Clan to wait for your elder, or?”
Shang Qiu Meng Qian was naturally cautious after seeing Ji Mo Ya’s outcome, he would not want to repeat the same mistake as the latter.
This was a crucial moment where he must not leave the Bai Li Clan; the other party wants to send him away?
They can forget about it!
Shang Qiu Meng Qian normally has an arrogant attitude, but he was also very decisive when the occasion requires him to be humble.
He firmly replied: “Uncle is polite. The two clans will be relatives in a few days, there is no difference between the Bai Li Clan and Shang Qiu Clan by then. There is no need to trouble Uncle much, you just have to arrange this nephew to stay next to Qing Qing will do.”
Bai Li Ren nearly choked himself to death with his tea.
Pui! Where did this unlucky child come from? What wishful thinking! Even saying that they are a family now? He is even thick-skinned enough to request to stay next to Yan Lass, he might as well request to stay with her!
These stinky brats from other families acted as though they are here to collect debts!
Bai Li Ren felt that he could no longer talk with Shang Qiu Meng Qian and quickly summoned a junior from the clan and threw Shang Qiu Meng Qian to that junior to handle. Bai Li Ren also emphasized that Shang Qiu Meng Qian’s accommodations must be as far away from Huan Qing Yan as possible before quickly pushing them out of the building.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian did not mind the treatment, now that he is staying in the Bai Li Clan, will he need to worry about not being able to meet Qing Qing?
The most important step has been smoothly taken, all that was left for him was to bring the beauty home!
After Shang Qiu Meng Qian left, Bai Li Ren calmed down and called: “Men!”
The servants outside entered
“Little Yan was brought up by the Huan Family of Hanging Cloud. Now that she has returned to the clan, the Bai Li Clan has to pay a visit to express our thanks, bring some people and presents with you and make a trip to Hanging Cloud.”
“Yes.”
