Chapter 359: Break Off the Engagement! (1)
“Why not? My brother has never promised or agreed to marry Tengtang Xi from the very beginning anyway!”
“But I have already made my promise to them,” Shi Le replied angrily.
This pair of brother and sister were of the same nature!
“Nuannuan!” When she saw that her daughter was still talking, Shen Lanzhi could not help but whisper to her daughter in a low voice. She was worried that Shi Le would faint again if Shi Nuannuan continued provoking him.
Shi Nuannuan simply narrowed her eyes with an aggrieved expression on her face as she glanced at her mother.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and a servant suddenly came up.
“Sir, Mr. Tengtang and his granddaughter are both here to see you.”
Shi Le could not help but frown when he heard the servant’s words.
The only reason why Tengtang Li would come here could only be because of the wedding.
The wedding was supposed to be held yesterday but it was postponed once again because of his grandson’s resistance.
The media and reporters were all filled with doubts and questions about the marriage between the two families. After all, the wedding had been repeatedly ruined and delayed several times because of his unfilial grandson. Shi Le could not help but feel that this had also caused their image and reputation to be tarnished in front of the people.
Therefore, he believed that the reason why Tengtang Li and Tengtang Xi were here today was because of the wedding.
Shi Le could not help but feel very troubled when he thought about the quarrel that he had with Shi Yuting earlier in the morning.
No matter what it was, he could not break off the engagement with the Tengtang family because he did not want to lose face.
Moreover, Shi Le was well aware of Tengtang Li’s personality and character. If he called off the engagement, then the Tengtang Xi family would definitely not vote for his grandson!
After thinking about it, Shi Le knew that he could not let this wedding fall apart regardless of what he had to do!
“I got it,” Shi Le replied after glancing at the servant who was standing at the door. After that, he lifted his quilt as he prepared to get out of bed.
Shen Lanzhi and Shi Nuannuan could not help but feel a little worried.
“Dad…”
“Grandpa…”
The mother and daughter both spoke in unison but Shi Le simply raised his hand before he waved it gently and said, “Don’t worry. I am not so old or senile that I can’t move anymore.”
After that, Shi Le got out of bed immediately.
When he went downstairs, Shi Le saw Tengtang Li and his granddaughter, Tengtang Xi, sitting on the sofa. As soon as they saw him coming down the stairs, they quickly stood up to greet him.
“Mr. Shi, I heard that you are not in good health. How are you? Are you feeling any better?” Tengtang Li asked with concern as soon as he saw Shi Le.
“I am fine. Why did you come all the way here today?” Shi Le asked as he sat down.
Shen Lanzhi and Shi Nuannuan also came over to the living room. When Shi Nuannuan saw Tengtang Xi, she could not help but wonder what the expression on Tengtang Xi’s face would look like when she found out that Zuo Weiyi was actually the granddaughter of the current president of Country C.
Hahaha…
Shi Nuannuan chuckled secretly to herself as she sat on the sofa. She did not even realize that Shi Le had already noticed that her body was twitching with laughter.
When he saw that his granddaughter was secretly laughing to herself when there were guests around, Shi Le frowned before he said in a low voice, “Nuannuan.”
As soon as Shi Nuannuan heard her grandfather’s voice, she sat up in a serious manner and the smile on her face disappeared immediately!
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Do not be so disrespectful when there are guests around,” Shi Le reprimanded her softly.
Shi Nuannuan looked away immediately. Since her grandfather was already awake and since she did not want to see or spend any time with the Tengtang family, Shi Nuannuan felt that it would be better for her to go to the hospital to visit Zuo Weiyi instead!
“Okay!” Shi Nuannuan stood up before she told Shi Le and Shen Lanzhi, “I will go out for a short while. You can have a good chat with your guests.”
After that, Shi Nuannuan quickly walked toward the door.
It seemed as though she was heading to the hospital. However, Shi Le did not question her about it because Tengtang Li and Tengtang Xi were there.
However, Tengtang Xi seemed to have figured it all out.
She knew that Shi Yuting had been spending almost all of his time at the hospital for the past few days.
