Already fuming, he nearly fainted from anger upon hearing Xiao Linye's words.
"Don't you have any idea what you've done? Tell me, did that adopted daughter seduce you?"
Xiao Linye: "..."
Before he could speak, Elder Master Xiao added furiously, "Aye, you've always been the one who gave me peace of mind. How could you do such a thing this time? Are you trying to drag the Xiao Family's name through the mud?"
Xiao Shuo's former fiancée and he were from different generations. Even if Xiao Shuo and that adopted daughter didn't work out, Xiao Linye, as his seventh uncle, couldn't possibly pursue her, could he? If word of this got out, how would people view the Xiao Family? The more Elder Master Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became.
Yet Xiao Linye was utterly confused. "What exactly have I done?"
Elder Master Xiao: "..."
Uncle Zhong: "..."
So, Elder Master Xiao had been fuming for ages, while Xiao Linye had no idea why he was so angry.
