Finally, it was the head of the Guan family who came to his senses first. He stood up and walked towards Guan Xilin with a big laugh, saying in surprise and excitement: "Xilin, you're back! The family has been worried about you these days. Where have you been? How come there's no news from you?"
Xi Lin? Guan Xi Lin
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't he say that he followed his family to Jiufu Forest, but left in anger because he disobeyed the leader's orders, and finally died under the beasts without a trace? How did he come back alive
They all heard that Guan Xiruan's wife was originally Guan Xilin's fiancée. Now that he has returned, his fiancée has become his cousin's woman.
Although no one showed anything on their faces, everyone was still in the mood to enjoy the show. No one said anything, but just kept their eyes on those people.
Guan Xilin looked at him without saying anything, his face looked slightly gloomy, and it could be said that there was not even a trace of a smile on his face.
Seeing his expressionless face, the Guan family head also restrained his expression and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Uncle asked you a question, why don't you answer?"
Guan Xilin's eyes fell straight on his cousin who was trying hard to suppress his panic and guilt on the stage, and his voice was cold: "I came back to participate in the competition." As he spoke, he had already stepped forward.
The head of the Guan family was slightly startled, frowning at him, and wanted to stop him, but he didn't say anything. In his opinion, he was not yet his son's opponent, and going up would only bring trouble upon himself.
Guan Xiruan on the stage watched him approach step by step, and his panicked mood slowly calmed down.
From the time he appeared until now, he has never said that it was he who stabbed him in the back, and he probably won't say it here. After all, this is a family shame, and he has to consider the reputation of the Guan family.
Thinking of this, his expression relaxed, his tense heart also eased, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xi Lin, I'm glad you're back okay."
Guan Xilin walked up to the stage and looked at him, his face slightly gloomy: "I thought you didn't want me to come back."
Hearing this, Guan Xiruan's smile froze on the stage, and he said awkwardly: "How could it be? Xilin, are you blaming me for marrying Xinya? In fact, it was the elders of both sides who decided that I should marry Xinya. At that time, we all thought that you died in Jiufu Forest, so..."
The people below nodded secretly when they heard this. Well, Guan Xilin looked unhappy. He must be angry that his fiancée became his cousin's woman! Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked unhappy to the head of the Guan family.
After hearing what was said on the stage, Ke Xinya from the female family showed a look of self-blame on her face, and said softly, "Xi Lin, I broke off the engagement and married Xi Ruan under the arrangement of the elders of both sides. I hope you won't have any rift with your family because of me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the fact that we are not destined to be together."
However, after hearing Guan Xilin's next words, his face turned pale and embarrassed.
Guan Xilin glanced at her, crossed his arms and said with disdain: "You think too highly of yourself. I, Guan Xilin, really don't like a woman who is fickle and vain."
"Guan Xilin, you're going too far!" Ke's father slammed the table and stood up. Hearing his daughter being insulted in public like this, his face was full of anger.
