Chapter 698 - Ugly and Annoying (2/2)

Wei Yanran and Hua Mingrui were usually calm and elegant, but at this moment, they were very nervous and could not eat. They kept looking at the door from time to time, for fear that Wei Junce would suddenly appear.

In a private room not far from them, the master of the Wei family, Wei Junce, the master of the Han family, Han Wuji and the master of the Zhao family, Zhao Cangqiong, were sitting together drinking.

As soon as the auction was over, they came here, ahead of Qin Haodong.

As the masters of the top great families, the relationship between them was not like that of ordinary people. They were friends and enemies. They were partners and competitors and their actions were based on interests.

The reason why they gathered together today was due to one common topic and that was Qin Haodong, the new force in the capital.

Han Wuji said, “I heard that the old fox Qin Zhanao was arrogant today. He didn’t come in person, but sent Qin Feiyu. As a result, his relationship with Qin Haodong is in a deadlock.

“Qin Zhanlong then ran to help his son and grandson. In the end, all three of them had their hair shaved off. It was so embarrassing.”

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Qin Haodong is too strong. We can’t compete with him on our own at all.”

Wei Junce said, “In contrast, the Chu family is more tactful and has played the emotional card. I heard that Chu Xuanyue has promised to go back and celebrate Chu Shanhe’s birthday.”

Han Wuji said, “The strength of the Tang Sect is too powerful now. It’s definitely not a wise idea to fight against them. Compared with that, our marriage strategy is still a good idea.”

Zhao Cangqiong said, “It’s a pity that Qin Haodong hasn’t given us a clear answer yet. I don’t know what he’s thinking.”

Wei Junce said, “What do your granddaughters think about this marriage? Are they in agreement?”

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Qingwu is very unhappy, but this is a big family affair. How can she oppose it?”

Han Wuji said, “My granddaughter didn’t say anything, but she has always been proud. I guess she’s not happy either. But as Mr. Zhao said, it’s not up to them to decide.”

Wei Junce sighed. Wei Yanran’s reaction was a little beyond his expectation. The girl sneaked out and there was still no news about her. Even her phone was turned off. This was something quite unimaginable.

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Master Wei, how did Yanran react?”

As soon as he finished speaking and before Wei Junce could answer, the door opened and Han Meilin rushed in from the outside.

Seeing that she was a member of the Han family, Han Wuji’s face darkened. “How dare you! Who let you in?”

“Grandpa, I have something important to tell you.”

Han Meilin was panting heavily. She looked extremely miserable. Her hair was disheveled and her snow-white skirt had a large footprint on it.

Han Wuji said discontentedly, “What’s the matter? Tell me quickly. Can’t you see that I’m entertaining guests?”

“Grandpa, I just saw Wei Yanran. She was eating in a room with a toy boy. It seemed as if she’s planning to elope after their meal.”

After she said this, the expressions of the three people changed and the atmosphere in the room became tense. Both Han Wuji and Zhao Cangqiong looked at Wei Junce.

Wei Junce frowned. Although Wei Yanran was opposed to this marriage, she had always been a good girl. He had never heard of her being involved with any man. Why did she suddenly want to elope with someone?

He said to Han Meilin, “Did you make a mistake?”

“It’s impossible, Grandpa Wei. I have been classmates with Yanran for so many years. I can’t be wrong. I was talking to her in the private room just now.

“See the footprint on my skirt. I was kicked by that man. That guy looks very arrogant.”

Speaking of this, the corners of Han Meilin’s mouth showed a hint of complacency. Over the years, she had always been jealous that Wei Yanran was better than her and had a higher status in her family. She was more beautiful than her. Today, she finally found a chance to trample on Wei Yanran.

As a member of a big family, she knew very well how much the Seven Great Families hated elopement. According to the family rules, they would punish her severely. She was afraid that Wei Yanran would not be able to start over in this life. Maybe she would end up like Chu Xuanyue and be expelled from the family.

When he saw Han Meilin’s pathetic state, Wei Junce already believed that what she said was true. His heart sank.

He had just made engagement plans for her, but his granddaughter ran away. If the news reached Qin Haodong’s ears, no one knew whether this man would come to the Wei family with four level nine supreme power masters. He couldn’t afford the consequence.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and said, “Girl, where are they? Take me to have a look!”

“Grandpa Wei, it’s not far from here. I’ll take you there right away. We must hurry, or they might run away.”

If it weren’t for Wei Junce’s feelings, Han Meilin would have laughed out loud. She seemed to have foreseen Wei Yanran’s miserable ending.

She walked out in great excitement with Wei Junce. Zhao Cangqiong and Han Wuji looked at each other and followed them.

If Wei Yanran really eloped with someone, it would be a good thing for their families. After all, there would be one less competitor, but they were very shrewd. They hid their joy in their hearts and did not show it.

Han Meilin rushed to the door of Qin Haodong’s private room with the three family masters. She kicked the door open and rushed in. She pointed inside and shouted, “Grandpa Wei, look, they’re here.”
