After the old man heard that, he said, “Mmm, I understand. Call Lin Fan in. It’s such a simple matter. Just marry the two of you and it’ll be over. I’ll help you settle this matter.”
Su Xiaoyu: “???”
The old man: “Are you unwilling? Although the law doesn’t allow me to marry two people now, you’re both my granddaughters. It’s the same. The marriage certificate is just an identification card. In reality, you and Wanqiu can always live with Lin Fan. It’s equivalent to marrying the two of you. There’s not much difference. Furthermore, Lin Fan won’t lose out.”
Su Xiaoyu: “Grandpa, I can’t. Lin Fan and Sister Wanqiu are so loving. I can’t become a third party, much less destroy their relationship. Let me bear it silently ~”
The old man: “No, you’re my granddaughter. No matter what, I have to help you find someone to marry. Lin Fan is a good child and you guys look quite compatible. Come, I’ll go talk to Lin Fan.”
Su Xiaoyu grabbed the old man’s arm and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry about me. Leave relationships to me ~”
The old man could only sigh helplessly. “Alright then. But Xiaoyu, if anyone dares to bully you, feel free to tell me.”
Su Xiaoyu giggled. “Of course. Grandpa is the best.”
Not long after, Xia Wanqiu walked in with the tea.
“Meow?” Xia Wanqiu blinked and looked at Su Xiaoyu and the old man in the room.
“Come, come, come in. This tea is very delicious,” the old man said with a smile.
“Grandpa, you guys chat first. I’ll go out first,” Su Xiaoyu said with a smile. She stood up and left obediently.
After Xia Wanqiu entered, she sat beside the old man. “Grandpa, have some tea ~”
The old man wanted to say something but did not.
It was Xia Wanqiu who spoke first. “Grandpa, at the market today, Lin Fan…”
Xia Wanqiu told him about meeting Gao Yong.
After saying that, the old man’s expression changed. “What did you say? Lin Fan and Gao Yong had a conflict and Lin Fan even broke Gao Yong’s bodyguard’s legs…”
“Wanqiu, do you know how terrifying Gao Yong’s influence is in Jiang City? In Jiang City, whether it’s an aristocratic family or a rich second-generation family, they don’t dare to go against the Gao family. And this Gao Yong is ruthless. Anyone who offends him will end up very miserable.”
Xia Wanqiu said worriedly, “Grandpa, how does our Xia family compare to the Gao family?”
The old man shook his head. “In terms of power in Jiang City, the Xia family can’t compare to the Gao family, but I’ve already left the business world for a long time. Only your father can help with this kind of thing. The Gao family will give your father some face no matter what.”
The old man sighed. “Lin Fan could have provoked anyone but he chose to provoke Gao Yong. Lin Fan is still too young. My evaluation of him isn’t accurate enough.”
“Looks like Lin Fan isn’t as stable as he seems.”
The old man was very disappointed.
Because anyone could tell how terrifying Gao Yong was in Jiang City.
Lin Fan had casually offended Gao Yong and offended him to death.
Now, the old man was very disappointed.
The Xia family wouldn’t offend the Gao family for Lin Fan.
Offending the Gao family meant billions of losses every year, and these losses were something the Xia family could not accept.
That’s right, Su Xiaoyu could help Lin Fan.
Xia Wanqiu’s mother could also help Lin Fan.
However… in the eyes of the old man, his evaluation of Lin Fan had already lowered.
If the Xia family wanted to find a son-in-law, they could not find a son-in-law who always caused trouble everywhere.
What was the use of such a son-in-law?
Xia Wanqiu looked at the old man and hurriedly explained, “Grandpa, Lin Fan did this to protect me. He didn’t really mean to offend Gao Yong.”
The old man said, “Yes, he can protect you, but he can’t lose his mind to protect you. There are many ways to deal with it today, but Lin Fan chose the worst way.”
“If he has the ability, then what he’s doing is right. If he doesn’t have the ability and casually offends a big boss in the business world, what awaits him is a calamity. According to what I know, Lin Fan’s two companies only have a market value of four billion. How can they fight against the Gao family, who is the overlord of Jiang City? If the Gao family comes knocking, do you want the Xia family to help him clean up his mess?”
The old man was very disappointed.
Previously, he had wanted Lin Fan to marry two at once.
Xia Wanqiu’s looks were devastatingly beautiful. She was a top celebrity in China and the daughter of the Xia family.
Su Xiaoyu was a genius girl. In terms of looks, there were not many who could compare to Su Xiaoyu.
In the eyes of the old man, Lin Fan could marry two.
However, Lin Fan had to have the ability to marry two people.
He couldn’t just let anyone marry his precious granddaughter, right?
Xia Wanqiu looked at the old man with her beautiful eyes and explained, “Grandpa, Lin Fan is very awesome. He’s not as rash as you think.”
The old man smiled and took a puff of his cigarette. “Wanqiu, in your eyes, Lin Fan is indeed very good. But whether he can be my grandson-in-law or not, he has to prove it himself. He has to let me see that he can be worthy of the Xia family’s daughter and you.”
Offending the Gao family meant that the relationship between the Xia family and the Gao family might change.
The Xia family would directly lose a lot of economic benefits.
The old man continued, “I originally wanted Lin Fan to marry you and Xiaoyu, so I had to see Lin Fan’s ability. I couldn’t let my precious granddaughter suffer.”
When Xia Wanqiu heard that, her face turned red. “Grandpa, what are you saying… why would he… marry us both?”
The old man coughed and said, “Pretend I didn’t say anything. Cough, cough…”
Xia Wanqiu stomped her feet and exploded. “Grandpa, you’re not allowed to make decisions on your own. Also… I haven’t agreed to marry Lin Fan.”
Xia Wanqiu was not ready to be a bride yet.
As for Su Xiaoyu, Lin Fan had to decide for himself.
However, Xia Wanqiu was still worried about Lin Fan and immediately went to look for her father, Xia Jiancheng.
After explaining the situation, Xia Jiancheng was shocked. “What did you say?”
Xia Wanqiu lowered her head. “If Daddy can’t help Lin Fan, I can only look for Mommy.”
Xia Jiancheng said, “No, you can look for anyone but your mother. Your mother doesn’t like celebrities in the entertainment industry to begin with. If she knew that Lin Fan had caused such a mess, she would definitely take the opportunity to stop you two from being together. Your mother won’t help you.”
“Offending the Gao family in Jiang City… is almost courting death.”
“Wanqiu, Dad might not be able to protect Lin Fan. If the Gao family really comes, I can only hope that Gao Yong will give me face and ask Lin Fan to apologize and not pursue the matter.”
“Otherwise, with the Gao family’s protective personality, I’m afraid they won’t stop until they break Lin Fan’s limbs.”
