Hearing the commotion outside, the group immediately stood up and went out with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaoxue, you're back!"

Upon seeing Ye Xue, Liu Meilan's eyes filled with tears, and she rushed to greet her with longing.

Ever since her daughter ran away from home last time, she has been going out frequently, sometimes for four or five days at a time. As her mother, she doesn't dare to interfere too much, for fear that if she goes too far, Ye Yun will run away from home again and never come back.

"Oh my, this must be Xiaoxue. She's grown into such a beautiful young woman. It seems we really didn't choose the wrong person!"

An old woman who was following Liu Meilan also stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Ye Xue's wrist, and praised Ye Xue in a string of flowery words.

The mother and son behind her also looked Ye Xue up and down and nodded repeatedly.

Ye Xue was startled and quickly pulled her hand back, her face stern as she asked, "Who are you?"

An awkward expression flashed across the matchmaker's face. She quickly looked at Liu Meilan and said, "Old Ye's daughter, why don't you explain this to the girl? I think this child is quite clever; she won't give a friendly look to someone she doesn't know well!"

This was said jokingly.

Whether it was a genuine compliment to Ye Xue remains to be seen.

Liu Meilan's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. She gave an awkward smile and said, "Xiaoxue, these are relatives from your maternal grandmother's side. They've come to propose marriage to you."

"What? Arrange a marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue was so frightened that she threw her still-driving bicycle away.

The man with a red birthmark on half his face was actually there to propose marriage to her?

"Are you all crazy?!"

Ye Xue was filled with turmoil and started cursing at the top of her lungs.

"You child, that's our family's only bicycle, why did you throw it away?" Ye Jian'an ignored her, stepped forward with heartache to help up the old bicycle, and glanced at Ye Xue with annoyance.

Ye Xue was furious.

"Dad! Why are you glaring at me?!"

When her temper flared, she didn't care who was around and shoved Liu Meilan aside, shouting, "Who gave you permission to act as matchmakers for me? I won't marry him! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't marry him!"

"Xiaoxue, don't be impulsive." Liu Meilan quickly pulled Ye Xue back and whispered, "Let me tell you, this relative of your maternal grandmother's owns a breeding farm. They're very rich. I heard they were the first family in our area to have ten thousand yuan in assets!"

What? A millionaire?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue's angry expression turned slightly surprised.
