Quick Wear: A skilled hunter is numb from being kissed by his prey

The main residence of the Nie family.

The Nie Zhui brothers and Nie Xi walked into the courtyard of the ancient house, passing by blue and white porcelain potted plants, mahogany chairs, and lifelike mountain and river screens. Each of them exuded the weight of time.

The Nie family is the only family in the entire capital with such a retro style, and the family has a long history.

It is said that in the history when there was imperial power, the Nie family was in the pharmaceutical business, and today the Plant Medicine Group is firmly in the leading position, with no one being able to challenge its brilliance.

Nie Zhui has been the most outstanding one in the direct line since he was young. Whether it is academic performance, methods, or strategic thinking, the elders of the Nie family have praised him highly. After he became an adult, he naturally inherited the position of head of the family.

But this doesn't mean that he has the final say over the Nie family. If a family is prosperous, it means that the whole family will be affected if one thing is disturbed. The Nie family is very deep...

At this moment, an old man with half white hair and beard was sitting in the main seat, and a couple in their fifties stood beside him. They were Nie Zhui's parents. No one in the room dared to sit down except the old man.

Nie Langyuan looked at the situation and swallowed his saliva. Even though he had been accustomed to the suffocating atmosphere in his family since he was a child, Nie Langyuan still couldn't stand it. He really admired his brother for being able to take on the position of head of the family without changing his expression.

If he had faced this situation every other day, he would have been depressed long ago.

Looking at his good nephew again, he walked up to him and called out, "Great-grandfather, grandpa and grandma." He didn't think there was anything wrong with speaking before his brother.

The old man looked depressing and unfriendly. He was not kind to Nie Xi, but at least he was not harsh. He said calmly, "You're back. How are you?"

Nie Xi spoke truthfully: "Yun Yue Shi gave me some medicine, and now I don't feel any pain, and I'm almost like a normal person. But Yun Yue Shi said it was only a temporary solution, and the root cause hasn't been cured."

Everyone in the room was shocked. The Nie family was in the medical industry, and no one knew Nie Xi's illness better than them.

Chemotherapy or taking drugs with severe side effects will make it difficult to relieve the symptoms of leukemia and will even aggravate the pain.

But now Nie Xi was standing in front of them in good health. If they didn't know his health condition well, no one would know.

Even if it is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease, this alone is enough to attract too many people suffering from chronic diseases. Compared to death caused by the disease, the pain of being tortured is a more devastating truth.

At the old man's glance, someone immediately came forward with a syringe and collected Nie Xi's blood.

Watching the bright red color flowing out of the hose, Nie Xi's eyes flashed with coldness, but he stood there obediently without showing anything unusual on his face.

The blood was taken away for testing. The old man looked at Nie Zhui and slammed his palm on the yellow pear wooden table: "Explain!"

Nie Zhui didn't react. Nie Langyuan was startled by the "bang" sound. His secret was exposed.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother, I didn't tell on you, don't take it too seriously."

Nie Zhui naturally knew that the old man was not angry because he found a woman, but because he made the Feng family lose face.

He spoke in a calm tone, "Yun Yueshi can even cure terminal illnesses. His potential in medicine is self-evident. If he doesn't join the Nie family, the glory of the Plant Medicine Group will be trampled underfoot by others."

"The three siblings were born in an orphanage. Although the elder sister seems to have achieved nothing, the achievements of the two younger brothers were created by Yun Zhiyue. Yun Zhiyue is the actual controlling shareholder of Guiyou. It was she who arranged for Yun Yueshi to enter the country's sight."

"Even though she offended Feng Rujiao, she still lives well in Yuancheng and even makes him run into a wall. Such a woman is very suitable to be the mistress of the Nie family."

The old man's expression eased slightly, but his tone was still full of disapproval: "No matter how capable she is, she doesn't have the Feng family behind her. Being in such a position, you should know that one person's power is limited."

"Because of your engagement, our Nie and Feng families are deeply involved in many interests. You can't and shouldn't break this engagement. If Yun Zhiyue knows what's good for you, she shouldn't make it difficult for you."

"The mistress of the Nie family can only be Feng Rujiao. As for these three siblings, you can maneuver them if you need them. They all come from prominent families. Rujiao should be able to understand you. Grandpa believes that you can handle it."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Nie Xi's eyes, but his face was full of shock.

"Grandpa, do you mean to let father marry Aunt Rujiao and have Yun Zhiyue be my stepmother? This is not a polygamous society in the imperial power. This is too ugly."

"It would be better for me to marry her. Anyway, we are both married into the Nie family, so it doesn't matter who I marry. I have been living in her house in Yuancheng, and Yun Zhiyue likes me very much."

Nie Zhui's mother stayed in Bengbu, her face twitched: "This is ridiculous! You... you have absolutely no manners at all. You have no right to speak when the adults are talking. Go back and reflect on your mistakes!"

Nie Xi said aggrievedly: "Grandma, I just want to share my father's worries and repay him for raising me for the past 20 years. I didn't say anything nonsense. Yun Zhiyue really likes me."

"When I was sick at her house, I always slept with her. It's obvious that we are better friends. I don't mean to compete with father. Doesn't father want to marry Aunt Rujiao?"

"Since the Nie family needs her, I like her very much, and she can also help share my father's burden, isn't it just right for me to marry her?"

"You...you..." Nie Zhui's mother Yin Ya was so angry that her face looked ugly. How could marrying his father's woman be just right?

He raised his hand to hit Nie Xi.

But the old man scolded him: "Don't stop! How can you hit someone? Where is the bearing that a daughter-in-law should have? Nie Xi is ill-mannered, and that's because your family didn't educate him well. You should reflect on yourself before you get angry."

Yin Ya put down her hand, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Father is teaching me that it was my daughter-in-law who lost her temper, but Nie Xi was indeed too verbal, and we can't indulge him just because of his illness."

"Why not send him abroad for further studies? The medical care there might be more advanced. What if they can cure the child?"

Nie Zhui's father, Nie Xiao, has a refined and gentle temperament, without any of the shrewdness and sharpness of a businessman.

"Father, what Nie Xi said is right. For the sake of the family, there is no need to worry about trivial matters."

"Since Yun Zhiyue likes Nie Xi, why not let them get along? Whether it's marriage or just a close relationship, it won't hurt the Nie family. Who dares to say anything to her face about some rumors? Everything should be based on the interests of the Nie family."

The old man was relieved: "You are still steady. Everything should be based on the interests of the family. There is no need to rush to make a conclusion. I want to see these three helpless children in person at the Feng family banquet."

"Nie Langyuan, now that you're back, don't think about leaving again. The Feng family has invited too many people to this banquet. I plan to appoint Bai Linglong, the daughter of the Bai family, as your fiancée. You can meet at the banquet first, and then hold the engagement banquet."

Nie Langyuan never expected that this fire would eventually burn him. He mustered up the courage to refuse, but was forced back by the cold eyes of his family.

A wry smile flashed across his eyes, and he responded honestly.

He doesn't have his brother's ability to be the head of the family, nor does he have the courage to resist family pressure. His brother is already having a hard time, so what right does he have to say no?
