The elderly man did not beat around the bush. "I heard that you have registered your marriage with that woman?! It's such a huge matter; you should at least let me know beforehand!"
The middle-aged man was quick to learn about it as expected—hence, the irate interrogation over the phone.
His nephew, however, merely laughed. "Second uncle, why should I inform you anything beforehand? My marriage is my personal affair, and I don't need to inform you about it, do I? Besides, you needn't make a big fuss about it as it's not a wedding per se!"
"So you just went ahead and registered your marriage with that woman?! You should inform me about it at least!" The older man was furious over his nephew's unconcerned tone and felt that he was being neglected by him!
"Would you give your consent if I did? You're bound to oppose it, anyway, so I see no need in doing that!"
