C17 Almost Got Beaten

Madam Qi stood to the side and tried to persuade him, but no one spoke.

Ning Gaolang sat silently at the side. Firstly, he felt that Mrs Zhao was indeed going overboard. However, as a senior, Ning Silian shouldn't talk back like this. Therefore, she didn't say anything for a long time.

"Boss, say something!" Madam Qi was getting a little anxious.

Only then did Ning Gaolang speak up, "Ning Silian, today you spoke rudely to Third Aunt, tomorrow you must come and apologize yourself!"

Ning Silian lowered her head. Upon hearing these words, her body trembled slightly. She raised her head abruptly and said, "Impossible!"

Obviously, it was the Zhao Family who spoke rudely first, and they even wanted her to apologize, unless the sun rose from the west.

"You — —" Ning Gaolang saw that she dared to go against him, so he slammed the table, startling everyone.

Madam Qi quickly advised, "Silian, we are family. How can we not have a family with each other? You, Third Aunt, only have a few broken lips, but your heart is not bad."

Ning Silian sneered, stared at Ning Gaolang and said, "I'm afraid some people don't consider me to be a family, and want to marry me sooner so that I won't sully Ning Family's reputation."

Ning Gaolang didn't expect Ning Silian to expose his intentions in front of outsiders. He immediately became furious. "Ning Silian, you — — it seems that today, I really want to discipline you on behalf of my second brother!"

"Come on, anyway, us siblings are bullied by outsiders. Why not be afraid of being bullied by our own families!" Ning Silian stood up and said while straightening her back.

"You — —" Ning Gaolang raised his hand to hit her.

Seeing the palm strike down, the last bit of warmth Ning Silian felt for the mansion disappeared without a trace.

He closed his eyes and waited for a while. He didn't feel any pain on his face at all. When he slightly opened his eyes, he saw a long bony hand holding Ning Gaolang's hand.

"Uncle, this matter isn't Silian's fault!" Ji Ruchang stood up, waved Ning Gaolang away, and sat down with his arm around Ning Silian's shoulders.

"Our family's matters do not require the intervention of an outsider like you!" Ning Gaolang was slightly glad that he was stopped. He had never hit a junior before, and Ning Silian was the first one.

"I was engaged to Silian before, how could I be an outsider? I think she's the closest person to me!" Ji Ruchang shook Ning Silian's hand.

Ning Silian's heart trembled slightly when she heard this as she was wrapped by his warm hands.

"Whether your marriage is real or fake is still unknown, how can you take it seriously!"

"Then I would like to ask Eldest Uncle, was it true that Third Aunt said that Silian tried to seduce the Village Head before?" Ji Ruchang asked.

"Of course it's — —" Ning Gaolang wanted to say that it was true, but thinking about Ning Family's reputation, he swallowed it back, "This is just a misunderstanding!"

"Oh, a misunderstanding? Since it's a misunderstanding, why didn't you explain it clearly? Ji Ruchang sneered. He didn't really believe Ning Silian would do such a thing, even though sometimes she behaved boldly.

"This..." Ning Gaolang was rendered speechless.

Madam Qi watched on from the side, and seeing that the owner had been forced into this state by Ji Ruchang, she stepped forward and advised, "Ruchang, I watched Silian grow up, and her character is very stable. Don't listen to random rumors, Eldest Aunt knows that you have come all the way to Village Liu for Silian! "Let's do it like this, Eldest Aunt, your marriage is decided. When Silian reaches the age of 15, you will get married!"

The moment she said that, everyone looked at her.

"What, you still don't believe Eldest Aunt's words!" Madam Qi touched Ning Silian's bun and smiled lovingly.

Just as Ning Gaolang was about to object, Ji Ruchang immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Eldest Aunt!"

Madam Qi waved her hand and looked at Ning Gaolang with a guilty look.
