C386 The Engagement Continued
C386 The Engagement Continued
Mike turned his head to look at Lin Meng and Aysa, then turned to look at Jian Haixi who was beside him. He could not help but tighten his grip on her.
He had been resisting his family for the first half of his life, but he had never succeeded.
Jian Haixi, who was standing beside him now, was like his only hope.
If Jian Haixi could not bring him out of this quagmire, then no one in this world could do it.
Mike did not even know why he had such a ridiculous thought. Jian Haixi was clearly just a weak girl. She clearly did not borrow Ning Jiwei's power, but for some reason, he believed in her this way.
Seemingly feeling Mike's mood, Jian Haixi comforted him and smiled. She turned to Lin Meng and said, "Mr. Davis, there is one thing you are mistaken about. Today I came here. It is not because you asked me to come, but because I want to see you. That is why I am here. And now, if I want to leave, I don't need your permission. My actions have always been following my own will."
Lin Meng looked at Jian Haixi. At this moment, he realized that he had underestimated this woman.
When they investigated Jian Haixi's information, they initially thought that Jian Haixi was like those women who climbed dragons and attached themselves to phoenixes in the past, coveting Mike's money.
Later on, after understanding more deeply, their attitudes towards Jian Haixi also changed. They knew that it was not easy for a woman to live with two children, and Jian Haixi had never really used Mike's money.
When they first met after Jian Haixi entered the room, it made Lin Meng and Aysa understand that Jian Haixi was indeed very outstanding.
The reason they could do all this was to make them think that Jian Haixi was only an outstanding woman.
She was only a woman, a woman that the Davis Family could barely acknowledge.
Whether it was to accept her as a member of the Davis Family or to make her unable to see her own child from now on, to Lin Meng and Aysa, this was a gift to Jian Haixi.
It was a gift from a superior person to a weak person.
However, what they didn't expect was that Jian Haixi actually resisted such a gift. Not only that, she even took their son away.
Now, this woman was standing in front of them and telling them that her actions had never been only following her own consciousness. No one could order her.
It had to be said that at this moment, Lin Meng and Aysa were greatly shocked.
Standing in front of them was no longer the Jian Haixi who had nothing, but someone who could stand on equal footing with them.
But why did this woman have such an aura and pride even though she had nothing?
This fact shocked not only Lin Meng and Aysa, but also the people of Mi Family who were sitting beside them.
Mi Kai looked at Jian Haixi with a deeper and deeper gaze. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips.
After Jian Haixi finished speaking, she turned to look at Aysa and said, "Madam, if possible, I hope to speak with you privately."
Aysa was stunned. He looked at his husband and then looked at his son standing beside Jian Haixi. He hesitated for a moment and nodded.
In the end, she was unwilling to part with her son, so she was willing to give Jian Haixi this opportunity to hear what Jian Haixi would say.
Jian Haixi smiled at Mike and said, "Wait for me at the staircase. Mo Feng is there. No one can take you away with him."
Mike opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but under Jian Haixi's gentle gaze, he still nodded and walked to the staircase.
Aysa turned around and nodded at Lin Meng, then walked out with Jian Haixi.
The two of them stood in the corridor, a certain distance away from the door of the room and the staircase. This was to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by Lin Meng and Mike.
Aysa looked at Jian Haixi and asked, "Miss Jian, if you have something to say, just say it."
Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Madam, actually Mike and I are not a couple."
"What?" Aysa was shocked. He looked up at Jian Haixi and almost blurted out to question her, but facing Jian Haixi's eyes, she forced herself to calm down.
"Why did you tell me?" Aysa looked at Jian Haixi with a complicated look. "Since you and Mike have collaborated to put on this show and successfully fooled us, why did you tell me the truth?"
Jian Haixi looked at Mike and said to Aysa, "Because I am also a mother. I understand your feelings. Actually, I did not know that Mike's surname was Davis all these years. I only thought that he was the young master of a rich family. He seldom talked about family matters with me, but I could tell. When I was playing with my child, he looked at us with envy. He said that he missed his mother very much. But he can't go back."
Aysa was stunned. The Mike that Jian Haixi mentioned was a stranger to her. Mike had never said the word miss in front of her.
Ever since he became an adult, every time he was at home, he would think about how to escape.
Jian Haixi said, "Madam, why aren't you willing to give it a try? Maybe there will be a perfect solution?"
Aysa pursed his lips and frowned. "Perfect? How can there be such a good thing? If he wasn't from the Davis Family... No matter what he wanted, he was still my son. However, other than being my son, he also had to bear the responsibility of the family. This is his destiny since birth."
Jian Haixi thought for a while and said, "Then why don't we make a bet?"
Aysa was stunned." What do you mean? "
Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Madam, just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now. You don't have to stop Mr. Davis from doing what he wants to do. I will think of something on Mike's side. But if Mike can pass Mr. Davis's test this time, will you be able to stand by his side and support him? "
Aysa narrowed his eyes. He was not in a hurry to answer Jian Haixi's question. Instead, he stared at her and asked," Why? Miss Jian, I don't understand. Why did you spend so much effort to help Mike?"
"I said that he is an indispensable partner in my life." Jian Haixi smiled and said," What I said in the private room was not a lie. "
Aysa looked at Jian Haixi for a long time and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I promise I will make this bet with you. If Mike can pass the test, not many people in Butler's family will object. I'm willing to stand by his side and help him. But the prerequisite is that he has the ability to do so. Besides, I won't help you. "
" Of course " Jian Haixi nodded.
After the two of them finished talking, Jian Haixi personally sent Aysa to the door of the private room. Just as she was about to leave, Aysa stopped her and said, "Miss Jian, no matter what the result is, I am grateful for everything you have done for my son."
Jian Haixi smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Mike also helped me a lot."
One of them walked into the room and the other went to the staircase.
The door of the private room closed, separating the two worlds. It was as if the conversation just now did not exist.
Mike looked at Jian Haixi suspiciously, "What did you say to my mom?"
Jian Haixi winked at him and said, "I will tell you when I go back."
In the private room, Aysa saw Lin Meng sitting there with a dark face as soon as he entered the room.
Obviously, Lin Meng was very angry about Jian Haixi calling Aysa out to whisper.
Lin Meng looked at Aysa who walked to his side and asked, "What did that woman tell you?"
"That's what you think." Aysa said, "She just wants us to give Mike a chance or something."
Lin Meng frowned and snorted. "You really don't know what you are talking about."
Aysa did not say anything. He just lowered his head and restrained the thoughts in his eyes.
Don't know what's good for you?
She felt that Jian Haixi might have this ability.
"That..."
The people from the Mi Family, who had been acting as spectators, felt a little awkward.
Now that things had developed to this point, they couldn't just sit there and leave.
Mi Dao laughed dryly and said to Lin Meng, "Mister Davis, why don't we... leave first?"
Anyway, the engagement between the two families should be voided, so there was no need for them to stay.
"Leave?" Lin Meng's eyes darkened, and he looked at Mi Dao. "What, Mr. Mi wants to deny our agreement?"
"What, what agreement?" Mi Dao and Yang Lan looked at each other in confusion. Mi Kai and Mi Ke'er looked at Lin Meng and Aysa in disbelief.
Aysa sighed silently. She knew it would be like this.
This was the plan they had agreed on before coming here. However, looking at the siblings of Mi Family, Aysa still couldn't bear it.
This matter had nothing to do with them, but...
Everyone had their own choices.
Jian Haixi...
Thinking of the bet with Jian Haixi just now, Aysa could not help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He hoped that Jian Haixi could really change some things.
Lin Meng did not know what his wife was thinking. He only looked at Mi and said, "What other agreement do you have? The engagement that we agreed on is still valid now."
"What?" Yang Lan was greatly shocked, "But just now, it was clearly..."
Because of her excitement, her tone was a little harsh. Mido hurriedly pulled her hand to stop her words.
Yang Lan bit her lips and unwillingly lowered her head.
Mido looked at Lin Meng. Clearly, he was also suppressing his temper. "Mr. Davis, isn't this a little too much? We all saw what happened just now clearly. The other young master clearly has someone he likes. If that's the case, the engagement between our families should be voided. "
" They won't get married. " Lin Meng said matter-of-factly, "Our engagement is to let Miss Mi and my son get married. Now that my son is not married, and Miss Mi is not married, everything is still valid."
"Ridiculous!" Mi Dao said coldly, "Mr. Davis, your son clearly does not like my daughter. Even if they were forced to marry, they would not be happy in the future. Forgive me for being blunt, but even if you can make your son unhappy, I can't push my daughter into a fire pit!"
