You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 889 They Are All Helping Leon To Persuade Him

On C Island.

The first one who knew that Mona was still alive was Anne. Anne had heard that Mona was a famous female count.

When Mona was in power, she was supported by many people. The Nangong family was on a par with Yin family in status. They were the representatives of highly placed people and powerful clans in that era. The Nangong family was famous in business circle, while the Yin family had great reputation in the political circle.

Lyndon and Mona were the most popular figures in the two clans when they were young. The two of them grew up together since childhood and were very close to each other. They were a perfect match in other people's eyes.

At that time, the Nangong family and the Yin family had a close relationship. However, after Mona died of illness, the two clans had been alienated.

Vicente's grandfather was in power, and the Nangong family declined gradually.

It was not until Vicente's father took over the throne and Vicente worked hard that the Nangong family became what it was now. Although Nangong family's status was no longer as high as that of the Yin family, it was still one of the top clans in the C Island.

Mona had a lot of friends, and she had helped a lot of people in the past, who were now senior elders of various clans.

Mona's return was bound to cause a sensation.

What was more surprising was that Mona was Michelle's grandmother. In this way, Michelle was the relative of the Nangong family.

Due to the previous status of Mona, Michelle enjoyed a higher status than any other cousins in the Nangong family.

For example, two nieces of Vicente's mother, Addie and Leda, were also the cousins of the Nangong family, but they were not related to the Nangong family by blood.

Anne told this to her husband. As the king of the country, Bruce fell into silence.

They were a family of equal social rank, but Michelle's talent and ability were doubtful.

"Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?" Asked Bruce.

Anne replied, "Our daughter Nina said it."

Bruce said, "Oh, then the news must be reliable."

Anne glanced at her husband and smiled helplessly.

Her husband doted on their daughter very much. In fact, she was the same now. Probably they all wanted to make up for the mistakes they had made.

"Nina wants to have a video call with us."

"Oh?" Bruce was happy. "Is she going to persuade us for her brother?"

Anne smiled faintly as acquiescence.

"What a naughty girl!" Bruce's tone sounded dissatisfied, but he couldn't subdue the smile in his eyes.

The two sat on the sofa and turned on the big screen on the wall. Then John's family of four appeared on the screen. The face of Don was too close to the camera, occupying half of the screen. "Grandparents!" Don happily waved his little hand.

At this moment, John put his arms around the waist of Nina and they politely greeted Anne and Bruce.

Van sat on John's lap and said sweetly, "Good afternoon, Grandpa and grandma."

"You are so sweet, my kid!" Bruce smiled, and so did Anne.

As they chatted about their daily lives, Nine suddenly jumped towards the camera and pushed Van's feet gently. Van then slid down from John's lap.

Don liked to have fun. He then followed Nine and played with it.

Bruce then got down to business and asked directly, "My dear daughter, do you have something to tell me?"

"Dad, I'm afraid that you have already known what I'm going to say." Nina didn't beat around the bush anymore. She said in a forthright manner, "Do you agree to Leon's marriage with Mimi?"

Bruce was silent.

Anne said, "Your brother got the marriage license without our knowledge. Your father punished him to kneel for five days."

Nina had already known about the marriage certificate and guessed that Leon would be punished, but Nina didn't know that the punishment would be so simple and violent. Leon had to kneel for five days. Her knees must be bruised. Or it might be more serious.

But Leon didn't mention it. She was surprised that he didn't reveal anything.

There was a burst of admiration in Nina's heart, and she immediately said, "He has been punished for kneeling. Don't blame Leon for getting the marriage certificate. He has suffered a lot."

"Your father has suffered a lot too." Bruce complained. "I did it for you and your brother's sake."

"Thank you, Dad." Nina smiled.

Bruce thought that Nina would retort. However, Nina thanked him sweetly. Immediately, a smile appeared on Bruce's face. But the next second, the corners of his mouth straightened again. He pretended to be serious and said, "I see."

Anne lowered her eyes and smiled.

"I heard that my brother's secretary is Mr. Yin's granddaughter. Dad, do you want her to be your daughter-in-law?" Nina asked.

"Yes," replied Bruce without hesitation. Barbie is a perfect match for your brother in every aspect."

"I admit it." Nina first confirmed his words, and then said, "I remember that the Yin family is so powerful that no one dare to challenge them. If Barbie marries my brother..."

"The power of the Yin family will reach its peak." Anne said before Nina finished and looked sideways at her husband.

Their words made Bruce silent.

He had thought about it before, but the selection of secretaries was fair. And it had never occurred to him that Mr. Yin's favorite granddaughter would win in the end. "Barbie is impeccable in all aspects. It seems that she is born to be the queen." Bruce sighed.

"That means there is something wrong." Nina said, "Mr. Yin has been cultivating his granddaughter since childhood and wants her to be the queen. He is an ambitious man."

Since ancient times, in the fight for power, highly placed officials were all afraid that the king would doubt their loyalty because of their strong power, and they didn't want their relatives to interfere in politics. Leon insisted on marrying a girl from an ordinary family. Perhaps because Bruce was so angry with Leon that he didn't think too much. In fact, Bruce knew what Barbie was doing, but he didn't expose her intention.

Now, what Nina said made him lost in thought.

Since he was the king, he should balance the power of all parties. He couldn't make the Yin family become the most powerful clans in this country.

Seeing that her father seemed to have thought it through, Nina continued, "Father, you didn't agree with my brother to be with Mimi before because of her humble family background. Now Mimi is the relative of the Nangong family and has a good relationship with Vicente. If my brother marry her, he would with the support of the Nangong family.

What's more, Mimi's surname is not Nangong, and she is not that close to the Nangong family. Isn't it just perfect for us? Then you don't have to worry that Mimi will stir up trouble with Nangong family.

Leon and Mimi really like each other. If you agree to their marriage, Leon would be very grateful to you. It's great to have a good relationship with your son, isn't it?"

Bruce snorted with dissatisfaction. "Do you mean that if I don't agree with their marriage, your brother would hate me?"

"No." Nina smiled, "But you remember how I got along with you and mom before, and I'm afraid he would be like that. I know that dad and mom won't do this to him, right?" Nina smiled brightly at them and her words sounded like a threat.

She didn't want to hurt her parents, but she had to remind them that both sides would suffer losses if they fought against each other head-on. Why didn't they all make a concession?

Bruce didn't say anything again. He felt guilty for his children.

Anne said worriedly, "Your father is worried about the Yin family."

The implication was that they had agreed to Leon's marriage.

Leon who was sitting not far away from Nina raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Nina also smiled.

"Dad, mom, you don't need to worry about it. Leon will take care of it. He is going to marry Mimi. He will take care of everything. You guys should think about how to make up for your honeymoon if you don't need to deal with political affairs."

This was also a regret in Bruce's heart.

He took office as soon as he got married and never gave his wife a honeymoon trip. Although they had visited different countries over the years, it was still different.

Bruce took a look at his daughter, and he looked at his wife, who had been pretending to be an onlooker. He then sighed, "I can see that you are all helping Leon to persuade me."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.☐☐☐☐
