Everyone present felt as if they were being strangled, and they were unable to say a single word.

Ning Jie felt as if his heart was struck with a heavy blow. His face twisted into a mess and his expression was amusing, to say the least.

Bai Xin remained standing in shock, contemplating Ning Chen’s words — he actually wanted her to apologize? And he even implied that she was in the wrong. How could he!

After Ning Yu realized what Ning Chen meant, his face turned pale. He was very confident that Ning Chen would suffer great embarrassment. They forced Ning Chen into a dilemma. Whether Ning Chen resisted or retreated, he would emerge on the losing side.

But he did not expect Ning Chen to respond in that tone, demeanor, and stance.

It was as if their family was actually guilty instead!

Ning Chen, on the other hand, looked like the actual gaffer of the Ning family. Looking dignified and indifferent as he watched the family performed the entire drama. In the end, he only responded with a conclusion, uninterested in fighting with them.

“What a calm demeanor. As expected of the eldest grandson of the Ning family!” A hearty laugh broke the silence. Qin Yu turned her head and saw Old Master Guan trotting over.

The crowd in the hall got on their feet and the old man.

As the head of the Guan family, Old Master Guan was an influential figure in M City.

Old Master Guan approached Ning Chen and gave him a hearty pat on the shoulder. He looked at Ning Chen with a smile and said, “I have not been amazed by the mad man, Ning, for most of my life, but if there is one thing that I am impressed, it’s this grandson of his!”

Guan Yue, who was waiting by the side, almost rolled his eyes. What a public letdown! How could his grandfather praise somebody else’s grandson and belittle his very own?

Ning Chen bowed respectfully. “Grandfather Guan.”

Qin Yu’s head suddenly appeared. Blinking her pair of huge eyes, she said, “I’m also a good granddaughter-in-law!”

Don’t forget her!

“Hahaha –” Old Man Guan burst into laughter. He suddenly felt that this silly girl was a little more intelligent than other ordinary people.

“After Guan Yue’s marriage, I’ll see if Madman Ning’s granddaughter-in-law is better than my granddaughter-in-law! Guan Yue, do you hear me? !”

Damn it, how did his grandfather manage to squeeze in another urging of marriage in three short exchanges with Ning Chen. Guan Yue wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

“I heard you…” Guan Yue answered with tears in his eyes.

“Madman Ning is not here. His grandson is also my grandson.” Old Master Guan paused meaningfully and glanced in a certain direction. Then he continued, “No matter what happens, I will always stand for Ning Chen!”

It was obviously a public declaration to protect Ning Chen.

No one present could take Old Master Guan’s words lightly.

Those who had looked at Ning Chen with contempt and ridicule immediately put away their thoughts. They didn’t want to mess with the blind man from the Ning family.

Qin Yu, who was at the side, could not help but smile.

Fortunately, Ning Chen still had these people in his life.

Grandfather Ning, Guan Yue, Grandfather Guan, Uncle Wen..

They were all silently protecting Ning Chen.

And she would soon join them in the future to protect Ning Chen!

Ning Chen’s brows stooped low and a gentle expression appeared on his face. He held onto Old Master Guan’s wrinkled palm. He was touched, but at the same time, he remained clear-headed.

Could Old Man Guan’s protection dispel the sinister intentions of Ning Chen’s family?

Impossible!

After all, Ning Chen was not in the Guan family; he was part of the Ning family. No matter how much Old Master Guan protected him, it was beyond his reach. He wasn’t safe, at all.

Only by becoming stronger himself would he be able to fend for himself.

“Chen, Grandpa Guan treats you well. Why do I feel that you are his biological grandson instead? Guan Yue, have you ever suspected that you were adopted?” Qin Yu hugged Ning Chen’s arm and mischievously questioned Guan Yue who was beside her.

Old Master Guan was amazing to defend Ning Chen at the banquet just now! Looking at the faces of Ning Jie’s family, Qin Yu felt… extremely happy!

“Hey, don’t overstep your line, okay?” Guan Yue’s morale was crushed by Qin Yu again, “As long as I can find a wife early to give birth to a great-grandson for my grandfather, he will continue to love me! Now he has temporarily forgotten that I am his favorite grandson!”

“Oh, unfortunately your marriage is nowhere near it seems. I don’t think he’ll change opinions anytime soon,” Qin Yu continued to add insult to injury with laughter.

“You –” Guan Yue was so angry that his heart almost stopped. “I’m a charming and suave man.. I can find any woman I like!”
