Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019 â Bad Memory
Guifengâs attitude, however, visibly shocked the two brothers!
After all, their children were soon to be married- they were relatives soon! Even though they werenât actually in-laws yet, Guifeng didnât have to be this cold, did he? It was like he didnât know the two brothers at all!
âBrother Kang, what do you mean? House Kang and House Xiao will soon be bound by marriage- is there anything wrong with us visiting?â Xiao Ben said, pretending.
âMarriage? Since when did that happen?â Guifeng paused, âI donât think so? Xiao Ben, have you remembered wrong?â
âIâŠâ Xiao Ben didnât know how to respond to this- Guifeng was just flat out denying everthing! He didnât look so friendly anymore, either, âBrother Kang, arenât your son, Zhaolong, and my niece, Xinyan, already engaged?â
âEngaged? Ah, my horrible memory⊠Is it true?â Guifeng looked confused as he slapped his forehead, âI really canât remember, can you remind me which day the engagement was made, and in which hotel? Where people there at the engagement party?â
âWhat?â Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji froze.
The engagement was just an agreement, it wasnât written on paper, and there was no engagement party! They didnât do any of that at all, there was no hotel or people!
They understood at this point- Guifeng was intentionally pushing away the engagement!
House Xiao had fallen, and Guifeng most likely didnât want to be related to them anymore, so he brought out this ridiculous act!
âBrother Kang, wasnât this an agreement on both our parts?â Xiao Ben pushed down his anger.
He knew that breaking into rage now would only lessen their already slim chances, and that would be exactly what the Kangâs wanted- to break the engagement using that rage.
âAgreement?â Guifeng frowned confusedly, âI donât quite remember?â
âYouâŠâ Xiao Ben was pissed, and Xiao Ji was about to go on a rampage and begin yelling.
âAh, Iâm sorry! My memory hasnât been good, you see, I donât quite remember everything⊠This past while, many scammers came to me saying we have an engagement, but they couldnât bring out any proofâŠâ Guifeng shook his head troubled, âHow about this, Xiao Ben, you Xiaos are considered a noble house, and I know that you wouldnât lie. But, I canât feel safe without proof! If you bring out proof to show that our two children are engaged, then Iâd give my blessings! After all, youâre a noble house, itâs an honor to be allied through marriage!â
âFâŠâ Xiao Ji was about to explode when Xiao Ben gave him a glare.
âHaha, if thatâs the case, we donât need any proof! Why donât we redo the engagement then? We of House Xiao think that House Kang is rather nice, too!â Xiao Ben was a smart man as he followed up on Guifengâs words.
âUhâŠâ Guifeng froze, not expecting for Xiao Ben to catch him off guard like this! He was frustrated of his own mistakes.
Xiao Ji, on the other hand, only looked at his brother in admiration. Brilliant, truly brilliant! Fortunately for them, he hadnât started barking yet, or the whole thing wouldâve flopped!
âHaha, youâre right, Xiao Ben, but unfortuantely, I canât say yes!â Guifeng shook his head, rejecting.
âWhy not? Could it be that what Kang Bro said earlier was simply just courtesy?â Xiao Ben continued pressing on.
âNo, thatâs not it. Itâs just that our Zhaolong did in fact have an engagement with someone, except I just canât remember who! So, before proof has been given, I wonât be able to make new engagements for him in this while! What if someone with actual proof came and accused us of breaking the agreement?â Guifeng said, âSo, Old bro Xiao Ben, please do look for proof! Iâm old now, I really canât trust this old brain of mine, nor my memory!â
With that, he left and went for the villa. He waved his hand, âI still have something to attend to- farewell!â
Xiaobenâs face darkened. The situation was clear- they were breaking off the engagement and abandoning House Xiao!
Yet, one couldnât blame House Kang for their actions- it was only natural that they would do this after what happened to House Xiao! Big houses all wanted support through an alliance marriage, not a burden!
âFuuâŠâ Xiao Ben sighed, âLetâs go back, brother. Itâs over.â
âFucking shit! You blind dogs, wait until our rise back to glory, Iâll make you bastards lick my toes then! I donât need you!â Xiao Ji started blasting, âYou old shit Miracle Doctor Kang, breaking your word! You old shit! Hope you die tomorrow!!â
But the doors remained close, and nobody responded. Guifeng never planned on coming back out again.
âLetâs go!â Xiao Ben said helplessly.
âHouse Kang, just wait! Youâll regret this!â Xiao Ben said, walking behind Xiao Ben after relieving his stress.
Guifeng, who was behind the door, smiled mockingly as he looked at the two, âHouse Xiao? Youâve become rats in an alley- thereâs no hope for a comeback anymore! In your dreams!â
Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji got in the car, though Xiao Ji was still yelling and cursing House Kang in every possible way- it was as if he had something to say to all the ancestors of House Kang!
âAlright, brother, stop cursing at them- this is our misfortune!â Xiao Ben sighed, âNow we should be focusing on our future!â
âYouâre right!â Xiao Ji nodded. He was uncultured, but he knew that being angry didnât help even if he cursed the entirety of House Kang.
âHave you found out about Uncle Piâs origins?â Xiao Ben asked.
âIâve told Xiao Wangba and Xiao Wangdao to search our family logs, but itâs been too long, and without a target⊠We donât know when weâll find it,â Xiao Ji said.
âIf only Uncle Pi could wake up and speakâŠâ Xiao Ben said.
âItâs all because of that bitch, Gou Huli!â Xiaoji said, pissed off.
