Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 6

Wei Xiao was also a little happy, but when he realized that Wen Nian had rejected him in front of so many people, his expression turned ugly. He felt that the Wen family was being shameless.

Some time ago, Wei Xiao’s grandfather had discovered that the Wen family were descendants of his saviors and had suggested that Wei Xiao marry Wen Nian as a way to repay the Wen family. However, Father and Mother Wen had rejected the proposal on the spot. It was only after Wen Nian expressed her desire to marry him that they agreed to the marriage.

Although he was not present at the time, he knew it would have been futile to express his indignation. Grandpa despised being refuted the most, so even though Wei Xiao was displeased, he accepted Wei Feng’s arrangement with a smile. Yesterday, he even took the initiative to inform Wei Feng that he wanted to personally present the banquet gown to Wen Nian. Wei Feng was indeed pleased with this action.

Although Wei Xiao had accepted the Wen family’s rejection at that time, he still harbored a grudge, feeling that the family was playing a double game and being very scheming.

The Wen family had never seen Wei Xiao before. Only after hearing Wen Nian’s words did they know that he was the eldest young master of the Wei family.

Wei Xiao did not believe that these poor people would give up the wealth that was within their grasp. He only felt that Wen Nian had ulterior motives. He was already considering how to end this marriage. Since the opportunity had presented itself, he would obviously seize it. However, if anyone were to call off the engagement, it had to be him.

Wei Xiao immediately looked sad. He took out his phone and tapped on it a few times before raising it in front of him. “Wen Nian, did you take the initiative to cancel the marriage because you were with these indecent people outside? I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. Did you always want to break off the engagement? After all, your family is my grandfather’s savior. I’ll spare you some dignity.”

The photos quickly cycled through, each one showing Wen Nian in a bar with a group of rough-looking youths with dyed hair and tattoos. Due to the angle that the photos were taken, the images were suggestive, making it seem like Wen Nian was involved in inappropriate activities.

Even if Wei Xiao wanted to cancel the marriage, he had to occupy the moral high ground. As expected of Wei Xiao’s usual method. Wen Nian sneered internally. It was obvious that these photos were given by Huang Yue. It seemed that without her, the Wei Xiao and Huang Yue would have hooked up like in her previous life.

Wen Nian knew how to act! She looked at Wei Xiao in confusion and responded, “Aren’t these the rich young masters in the same circle as you? Huang Yue said that she would bring me to meet some friends, but I left not long after entering. Who gave you these photos? They’re ruining my reputation. I’m going to sue her!

The more Wen Nian spoke, the more her anger grew, and she furrowed her brow with a serious expression.

Last month, Huang Yue had used the excuse of Wen Nian’s upcoming entry into high society to bring her to meet some young aristocratic masters to expand her connections. But how could a straightforward person like Wen Nian understand the twists and turns of such social games? She had felt grateful to Huang Yue, but upon arriving there, she realized that the other party was making unwanted advances towards her. She had thrown a tantrum and left in anger. Otherwise, she might have been dragged away by those men to be violated that night.

After that, Huang Yue only used the excuse that the man was drunk to be a little unruly. She also mentioned that offending these people would affect the Wei family’s business. Wen Nian believed her and kept worrying that she had caused trouble for Wei Xiao. Who knew that these people were street hooligans who couldn’t even enter the Wei Corporation?

When Huang Yue saw that Wen Nian had gotten her involved, she was a little flustered. She was afraid that she would leave a bad impression on Wei Xiao, but it felt even more inappropriate for her to be present now. She thought for a moment and slowly moved to the back of the crowd.

How could Wen Yu tolerate this situation? He was about to snatch Wei Xiao’s phone, but before he could take action, Wei Xiao quickly took a few steps back and signaled someone to stop him.

Wen Yu had been taking photos in the studio for some time and could immediately spot the problem with the photos. His expression turned grim. “These photos were clearly taken at an angle. Young Master Wei was born into a wealthy family. Is it possible that he can’t see through such manipulative tactics? Since you don’t want to go through with this marriage, let’s speak openly with Old Master Wei. There’s no need to resort to such vile methods to deal with a young girl like my sister, who has no experience in society.”

Wen Yu had entered society at an early age to work part-time and did whatever it took to earn money. He had witnessed the darker side of society long ago. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Wen Nian had not left in time.

Wei Xiao didn’t dare to cause trouble for his grandfather. If he had the courage, he wouldn’t have resorted to this tactic of striking first and creating the impression that he was the one being hurt.

He had already made plans to study abroad. When he left, he intended to go overseas to recuperate and establish a positive image for himself. This way, when he returned, he could take over the Wei Corporation in the future.
