"Xian, you and Sinan have grown up together, you know each other inside out, and Sinan is truly talented. The two of you together would certainly be a match made in heaven!"
At that moment, Li Xian's mother Tang Wan also started to persuade her, taking Li Xian's hand, she said:
"This time, just listen to your grandmother! Once she is discharged from the hospital, we'll hold an engagement ceremony for you and Sinan to bring joy to the Li Family!"
Upon hearing her grandmother and mother persuading her together, Li Xian's face grew even uglier, her hands tightly clenched together, her palms full of sweat.
Meanwhile, sitting on the sofa, Li Ziming's face also showed a hint of joy, he immediately said to Li Xian:
"Sis, stop being stubborn! A guy as great as Brother Sinan is hard to find! Plus, you know how devoted he is to you!"
Li Ziming clearly approved of his sister being with Lin Sinan. Having said this, he then smilingly said to Lin Sinan:
"Sinan, no! I should start calling you brother-in-law! You must treat my sister well in the future!"
"Of course!"
Although Lin Sinan appeared composed, the ecstatic look in his eyes was unmistakable. He had long coveted Li Xian, and with the support of the three elders, this was his best opportunity:
"Xian! You should know my feelings for you! I promise, as long as you are willing to be with me, I will always treat you well, and if I ever fail, may lightning strike me down!"
Lin Sinan's almost oath-like demeanor pleased the grandmother and Tang Wan immensely, both of whom nodded and smiled in approval.
At that moment, Li Xian's pretty face was already pallid. For descendants of major families like hers, the words of the elders often had a decisive impact on their lives.
But facing the grandmother's arrangements, Li Xian was unwilling to compromise.
Biting her silver teeth, Li Xian firmly said:
"I... I already have a boyfriend!"
Huh?
Li Xian's voice was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it clearly and all were stunned at that moment.
"Xian, what nonsense are you talking about! You have a boyfriend, and I, your grandmother, didn't know?" the grandmother's face immediately darkened, and she scolded her granddaughter discontentedly.
Not only her, but everyone at that moment turned their gaze towards Li Xian, astonished. They couldn't believe that someone as stunningly beautiful as Li Xian would turn down Lin Sinan, and wondered who else could be worthy of being her boyfriend.
Li Xian then straightened her hair and looked up determinedly at her grandmother:
"Grandma! It's true, I really do have a boyfriend! I will not get engaged to Lin Sinan!"
"Nonsense!!!"
The grandmother felt her anger rising rapidly; her granddaughter had always been gentle and agreeable, and usually scornful of men, focusing solely on her career. How could she have silently gotten a boyfriend?
"Mom! Please, don't get angry," Li Xian's mother, Tang Wan, urged, then said to Li Xian:
"Xian, this is a major life decision! You can't be careless! First, tell us who your boyfriend is? If he comes from a suitable family, and is of good character, we will consider it!"
Tang Wan's words silenced everyone in the room, all waiting for Li Xian's answer.
Especially Lin Sinan, although he still looked calm, his heart was filled with raging fury, his mind racing, filtering through all the prominent families' descendants in Jiangnan City, yet unable to think of someone daring to steal a woman from him.
"If I find out who it is, I'll make sure they never rest in peace!"
Lin Sinan's gaze was venomous. In Jiangnan City, there were very few among the younger generation who qualified as his rivals! Moreover, with his methods, making someone disappear silently was all too easy.
Feeling everyone's inquisitive eyes at that moment, Li Xian's expression fluctuated for a while before she stood up, walked over to Ye Feng, and took his arm.
"He is my boyfriend!"
Li Xian clung tightly to Ye Feng's arm, as if her heart was tensed up at that moment.
Seeing this, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
...Him???
Whether it was the old lady or Lin Sinan, at that moment, disbelief filled everyone's eyes in the room.
Ye Feng was just Li Xian's chauffeur and was even wearing a janitorial uniform, looking exactly like a well-to-do worker!
But how could he possibly be Li Xian's boyfriend?
Li Xian was a famously beautiful CEO in Jiangnan City. Logically, a woman of her caliber would have high standards; if she were choosing a boyfriend, he would undoubtedly be from a powerful and prestigious family, which explained everyone's shock.
"No way!!!"
The old lady immediately said with a dark expression:
"Xi'an! You are the president of Zhen Country Group, the precious daughter of the Li Family! I don't oppose you finding a boyfriend, but he must be of equal social standing! Although he saved you once, our Li family will properly compensate him. But if you think about having a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him, don't even think about it!"
Furious and close to a heart attack, the grandmother couldn't understand why Li Xian, who even looked down on Lin Sinan, would set her sights on this poor country boy!
Not just her, Tang Wan was also deeply furrowing her brows, sternly saying:
"Xi'an, your grandmother is right! This matter is not up to you! He saved you once, and we can give him some money, but you cannot be with him! Absolutely not!"
"Mom is right!" Li Ziming joined in. He sized up Ye Feng disdainfully and then said to Li Xian:
"Sis! Are you delirious? Saying such foolish things! This guy is just a poor loser. If you become his girlfriend, don't ever acknowledge me as your brother. I can't afford to lose that face!"
The opposition from her three family members made Li Xian's pretty face even paler.
Now she was no longer the noble and glamorous CEO, but more like a helpless little girl, looking so powerless in the face of her family's intimidation.
"I like him! I just like him!" Li Xian showed her stubborn side at that moment, holding Ye Feng's arms tightly, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears as she spoke to her family.
Hearing this, Tang Wan and Li Ziming's expressions were exceedingly ugly, and the old lady was trembling all over with rage, her eyes almost shooting fire:
"Impossible! You cannot be together with him! We will do as I said, and once I'm discharged from the hospital, I will immediately organize an engagement ceremony for you and Sinan!"
When the old lady got angry, what she said in the Li Family was law, even Li ZhenGuo could only obediently comply. This time, she was determined, and come what may, she wouldn't let Li Xian be with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected Li Xian to declare him as her boyfriend. However, seeing the three people so aggressively forcing Li Xian, he, as her temporary boyfriend, couldn't stay silent any longer.
Ye Feng then patted Li Xian's hand as a sign of comfort and said to the old lady:
"You're sick!"
