Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hua Jun promptly exited the room, only to be met with the sight of Hua Chengs visage darkened with ire, his temper teetering on the edge.

Exchanging a knowing glance with Hua Ting at Hua Chengs side, he decided to press on, Dad, it seems Xia Ye isnt quite pleased with me. Perhaps she has better prospects. Maybe we should just let this go.

At Hua Juns words, Hua Chengs complexion turned a shade so dark it was almost murderous.

He addressed Xia He, saying, Look, Old Xia, we hadnt intended to come today.

We came out of respect for our longstanding friends.h.i.+p, and I have a decent rapport with Xia Hai, so I set aside our differences to make the journey. To think, I am quite taken aback, does your family really hold such disdain for

In that case, lets consider the marriage proposal null and void!

The Hua family cannot aspire to such heights!

Having said his piece, Hua Cheng barked at Li Jiao and his children, What are you waiting for? Lets go home!

At Hua Chengs behest, without a moments hesitation, the three followed him out.

Matchmaker Xus calls fell on deaf ears as the four of them did not so much as turn back, leaving her no choice but to relent.

Turning around, Matchmaker Xus eyes widened in horror as she caught Xia He with a brick in hand, about to strike Xia Yes head.

She considered intervening but feared that Xia He, in his fury, might accidentally injure her. She could do nothing but stand aside, yelling, Stop! Dont resort to violence! Lets talk about it at home! Calm down!

In her heart, Matchmaker Xu desperately wished, Take any acts of violence back home, please, dont let blood be shed in my house!

Despite Matchmaker Xus loud protests, Xia Hes anger had blinded and deafened him to everything around him.

Xia Ye, in terror, screamed and ducked for cover.

Chen Lian attemDted to intercede but was shoved aside bv Xia He. her head

striking the edge of a table, blood gus.h.i.+ng from the wound.

Wanwan, have you noticed Xia Ye wasnt at school today? Liu Hua whispered conspiratorially to Xia Wan.

Focused on her drawing, Xia Wan responded without looking up, She never reports her whereabouts to me. Shes likely had another quarrel at home.

Liu Hua, relis.h.i.+ng the unfolding drama, said with a shake of her head, Thats not it, thats not it

After a furtive glance around, she leaned closer, her voice a hushed murmur, I heard she went for a matchmaking session todaywith the Hua family from the next village, the ones known for their procreative services! Xia Wan paused, her gaze s.h.i.+fting to Liu Hua, That Hua family?

Liu Huas expression turned peculiar, Yes, precisely them!

Xia Wans brow creased, she set down her pen and turned her full attention to Liu Hua, So, what was the outcome? Did they agree to the marriage? Liu Hua quickly gestured dismissively, Of course not! It fell through!

Besides, I heard from Er Gou that the Hua family came fully prepared this time.

Hua Ting pulled out all the stops, Xia Ye likely couldnt cope with that!

Recalling Hua Tings calculating ways, Xia Wan couldnt suppress a smirk.

Her interactions with the Hua family had been minimal. In her past life, she knew of them only as the proprietors of a funeral business in the provincial citya trade that, despite being looked down upon by the villagers, afforded the Hua family a considerably better standard of living.

Eventually, she had heard about the Hua familys daughter marrying into a bureaucratic family in the city, leading the entire Hua family to relocate there.

In this life, Xia Wan had had a few encounters with Hua Ting, mostly casual exchanges when Hua Ting visited her store to shop for clothes.

Yet from those brief interactions, it was evident that Hua Ting was a progressive thinker, standing out from the average village girl, possibly due to her brothers influence from living in the city.

If Xia Ye could truly marry into the Hua family, she would likely secure a life free from financial worries.

However, it was evident that Xia Ye had no intentions towards Hua Jun, and the Hua family was not keen on formalizing any matrimonial ties with the Xia family.

I also heard that the Hua family was initially going to use Xia Yes mishap at the dance hall last night as a pretext to call off the marriage.

Who knows what Aunt Xu said, but it led to the Hua family deciding to go through with the matchmaking session.

Liu Huas reflective demeanor gave Xia Wan a bit of amus.e.m.e.nt..
