"Heh, what do I mean? You all know very well!" the elder stated bluntly as he tapped his cane on the ground, producing a thudding sound, "Today I will make myself clear, I do not agree with her entering the Xie Family! The daughter-in-law of the Xie Family should at least be a lady from a household like the Zhou Family, not someone from such a humble family! She's not presentable!"
"Dad! I still call you dad now, out of respect," Xie's father couldn't restrain himself anymore, his voice cold as he looked straight at the elder, "Our Xie Family's position no longer requires alliance through marriage to sustain, and besides, it's a new era now. If the younger ones like each other, why should we as elders obstruct them?"
"You don't understand, it's the family rules passed down from our ancestors!" Xie's grandfather scoffed coldly, settling himself on the sofa.
