He Zhichu was silent for a moment, then said to Grandfather Xie's assistant with a drawn face, "You guys think you can postpone it at will? Did you ask my opinion?"
Grandfather Xie's assistant didn't seem to expect He Zhichu to be so discourteous.
He chuckled and said, "Mr. He, what do you mean? Grandfather Xie informed you of this matter out of courtesy, so please know your place."
His insinuation was what it wouldn't matter even if they didn't tell him, so why was He Zhichu putting on airs?!
He Zhichu was well aware of the Xie family's attitude. It was precisely because he knew that such a large family was full of trouble that he had taken the initiative to contact the Xie family himself without allowing Gu Nianzhi to interfere.
This was to prevent such an awkward situation from happening.
