Chapter 288 Eloping
hall!
The young couple Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi, who had been breathing rapidly due to the pressure from Old Lady Xie's aura, breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Ye spoke.
The pressure dissipated.
Old Lady Xie frowned, and the next moment she sat back in her seat.
She was so angry just now that she forgot that Lin Ye was there.
Of course, the main reason was that she was even more wary of Lin Ye than before.
A man's fame is like the shadow of a tree.
In the extraordinary circle, Lin Ye's deeds in the past few years have spread all over the country. Old Lady Xie also knows that being able to make such a big name is enough to show Lin Ye's strength.
Originally, she had given Lin Ye a high evaluation, but facts told her that she still underestimated him.
Just now, in her rage, she used her own aura to oppress the two young men, but Lin Ye's words made the oppression disappear into thin air.
This time the difference is immediately apparent.
The opponent's strength is far superior to his own.
"Mr. Lin, I have a bad temper, please forgive me."
To a certain extent, Li Xian came here with Lin Ye, and the fact that he had just used his aura to oppress Li Xian was tantamount to not giving Lin Ye face.
"You don't have to apologize, old lady. I understand your elders' mentality, but I am a little curious, who is your granddaughter engaged to?"
Among the top ten extraordinary families in the country, he didn't seem to see any information about any engagement with the Xie family, and apart from these nine families, the others probably didn't ask the Xie family to arrange child marriages so many years in advance.
There are generally three situations in which a child is arranged to be married.
The first is that the parents of both parties have a good relationship, but for a family like the Xie family, this possibility does not exist.
The second type is a strong alliance, where the two sides form an alliance by arranging marriages for their younger generations to bring them closer together. This is the most common type of marriage.
The third type is attachment, where one party attaches itself to the other through child marriage.
But it is usually the weaker party who clings to the stronger party, betrothing his daughter or granddaughter to him as wife.
Is the Xie family the weaker party?
According to the information provided by the appraisal institute, it is not realistic at all.
"Mr. Lin, please forgive me. The family of the man Xiaoqi is engaged to is relatively low-key. Without the other party's consent, I cannot disclose it. But I can swear that this child marriage is true."
Old Madam Xie was very sincere and even mentioned swearing an oath. Lin Ye sighed in his heart. It seemed that he really couldn't interfere too much in this matter.
To put it bluntly, he and the Li family did not have a deep connection. Although Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi were separated because of this sudden child marriage, this was also the business of the Xie family and the Li family.
Perhaps after the head of the Li family finds out, he will ask Li Xian to give up Xie Xiaoqi.
"Of course I believe what the old lady said." Lin Ye nodded, and glanced at Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi again: "But young people are more impulsive when doing things, so we should still persuade them. It's better to give them some time and let them solve it themselves."
Old Lady Xie was a little hesitant. She had originally planned to transfer her granddaughter to another school and stop her from having any contact with Li Xian. But after hearing what Lin Ye said, she thought that Lin Ye came to her house as a matchmaker and she had already rejected Lin Ye once. To reject him again would be too offensive.
"Mr. Lin is right." The old lady turned her eyes to her eldest son: "Dinghua, take Xiaoqi down first, persuade Xiaoqi well, and talk to nephew Li."
"good."
Xie Dinghua looked at his daughter: "Xiaoqi, go out with Dad first."
Xie Xiaoqi was somewhat reluctant, but when she saw her father's eyes, she had no choice but to walk out the door. Of course, she took Li Xian with her.
Old Lady Xie looked at her granddaughter still holding the other's hand and her eyes drooped, but when she thought of Lin Ye who was still beside her, she calmed down. Fortunately, they were still in the Xie family and no outsiders would see it.
"Mr. Lin's visit to my Xie family today has brought honor to my Xie family. The family has prepared a banquet. Mr. Lin has had a hard journey, so why not take a rest before attending the banquet?"
"Listen to the old lady."
Old Lady Xie turned her gaze to Lu He again, "Mr. Lu hasn't been to my Xie family for a while. If it weren't for Mr. Lin's arrival, I'm afraid Mr. Lu wouldn't be able to be invited. You must have a good drink today."
"You are too kind, old lady."
Lu He's family knows their own business. If Consultant Lin had not come this time, and he had come to the Xie family alone, the old lady would never have received him. At most, the old lady's sons would have come to receive him. This time, he actually benefited from Consultant Lin's help.
The old lady left from the side hall first, and the Xie family took Lin Ye and Lu He to the reception room to rest.
"Advisor Lin, this news that Old Lady Xie is betrothing Xie Xiaoqi should be true."
When they were in the living room and there were no outsiders around, Lu He expressed his own judgment. He was afraid that Lin Ye would think that Old Lady Xie was deceiving him.
"Well, I also believe what the old lady said is true, but I am a little curious about what kind of family the man belongs to that the Xie family can arrange a marriage with him."
It might sound a bit unpleasant to say that the Xie family is trying to curry favor with the other party, so Lin Ye could only express it in this euphemistic way. He didn't believe that anyone would be able to understand.
Lu He smiled back at Lin Ye, which showed that he understood what Lin Ye meant.
"I can't think of it either." Lu He shook his head. As a consultant of Chenjun Appraisal Institute, he knew the strength of the Xie family best. With the status of the Xie family in the circle of extraordinary people, it seemed that there was no force worthy of their currying favor.
"Advisor Lin, do you have a good relationship with the Li family?" Lu He asked tentatively.
"I owe the Li family a favor, so I agreed to go on this trip to act as a matchmaker."
Lu He breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, Lin Ye would not have had a conflict with the Xie family because of this matter.
What he was afraid of was that the two young people, Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi, were determined to be together. Men and women in love are very stubborn. If Lin Ye intervened at this time, something unexpected might happen.
If Lin Ye was just returning a favor, then it wouldn't be a big deal. The Li family would definitely persuade Li Xian to stay. If they couldn't persuade him, the worst that could happen would be to lock Li Xian up at home for a while. Time is the best medicine to cure everything.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lu, the food is ready."
Half an hour later, Mrs. Xie's second son, Xie Dingkun, walked in, interrupted Lin Ye and Lu He's chat, and led the two to the banquet hall.
In addition to Old Lady Xie, the three brothers Xie Dinghua were all present, including the two males of the third generation of the Xie family. Lu He was very familiar with the Xie family and took the initiative to introduce them to Lin Ye.
The banquet was lively and bustling, especially the two male members of the third generation of the Xie family, who were very enthusiastic towards Lin Ye and kept toasting him, just like fans meeting their idol.
Lin Ye was also helpless, as he had now become an idol for the younger generation in the alien circle.
After lunch, Lin Ye said goodbye because he had learned from Xie Dinghua that Li Xian had left the Xie family.
With the farewell of the Xie family, Lin Ye and He walked out of the Xie family's gate.
"Consultant Lin, would you like to come to my place and give me some guidance on my work?" Lu He made an invitation.
"Forget about the guidance, let's go and take a look."
As soon as Lin Ye and Lu He arrived at the Chenjun Appraisal Institute, his cell phone rang.
The call was from Li Zhenhai.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry..."
After answering the phone, Lin Ye apologized first.
"Mr. Lin, I have learned the whole story from Xiaoxian. It's not Mr. Lin's fault. It can only be said that Xiaoxian and the daughter of the Xie family are not destined to be together. But Mr. Lin, can you contact Xiaoxian now to persuade him?"
"Persuade Li Xian?" Lin Ye frowned. Didn't Li Xian leave the Xie family a long time ago?
"My son just received a call from Xiaoxian. Xiaoxian eloped with the daughter of the Xie family."
elopement!
Lin Ye was shocked by this somewhat outdated word. Are there still people eloping in this era?
The most important thing is, with the strength of the Xie family and the Li family, where can these two young people run to?
"What's the Xie family's reaction?"
"I don't know about the Xie family yet, and I haven't received a call from them yet, but I think they should have found out about it. Xiaoxian admires you very much, and I hope you can give them a call to persuade them."
"Let me try."
After Lin Ye hung up the phone with Li Zhenhai, he called Li Xian. Lu He, who was standing by, guessed something from Lin Ye's conversation and asked, "Did the two young people elope?"
"Yes, there's a Qiong Yao drama going on."
Lin Ye replied, and the phone was connected after a few rings.
"Mr. Lin, it must be my grandfather who told you. If you are trying to persuade me, forget it. Xiaoqi and I did not act on impulse. We have thought it through."
"I've thought about it. So you're going to leave first to let the Xie family lower their guard, and then Xiaoqi will sneak away from the Xie family to meet up with you?"
"Um."
"Where are you now?"
"Mr. Lin, this...this I can't tell you."
Hearing Li Xian's answer, Lin Ye laughed. Was he afraid that he would tell the Xie and Li families their location?
"Do you think you can still hide in today's society, or do you two plan to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?"
Li Xian was silent, and Lin Ye knew that he was right. This young couple really thought so.
This is indeed the best solution. Both of them are extraordinary people, so there is no problem for them to live in the mountains.
"If you encounter problems that you can't solve in the future, you can call me."
Lin Ye hung up the phone. He admired Li Xian. Although Li Xian's move to elope with Xie Xiaoqi was not the best choice, it was a decision made by the two of them and he chose to respect it.
I hope Li Xian doesn’t need to call me.
"Young people are impulsive, but this is also their shining point, they are young and reckless and full of vigor and vitality."
Lin Ye saw Lu He looking at him and said something with a smile. Lu He nodded in approval, but he was muttering in his heart, "You are young, you seem to be a young man too."
What Lu He didn't know was that because of the time spent in the other world, Lin Ye psychologically no longer considered himself a young man. In both worlds combined, he would be almost 40 years old.
