Chapter 145

Xia Ruo'an, that damned girl, was really abominable! She actually sent such expensive flowers without saying a word, causing the Zhou family to lose millions for no reason!

If she had told everyone the true value of flowers earlier, how could they despise them so much? Thinking of this, Zhou's mother felt suffocated.

At this time, Zhou Muyu complained angrily, "Mom, I'm so angry! I was deceived by that bad woman Xia Meihui. She even had the nerve to give me an out-of-season bag!"

The more Zhou Muyu thought about it, the more indignant he felt, and he couldn't swallow this anger no matter what.

"No, I must find her and ask her face to face to find out what she is planning! She hasn't even officially married into our Zhou family yet, and she dares to fool me like this. If she really marries into our family in the future, there will be a huge uproar!" Zhou Muyu was so angry that he was shaking all over, as if he had already seen the day when he would be deceived in the future.

However, Zhou's mother was relatively calm. She frowned and said, "Okay, don't be impulsive. We don't know what happened yet. Maybe you just accidentally took the wrong bag."

"Even if you really want to figure this out, you have to wait until after the engagement party. Besides, your eldest brother and Xia Meihui have already obtained their marriage certificate. If we make a fuss at this time, wouldn't it make people laugh at our family?"

"She has already obtained a marriage certificate with your eldest brother! Unless she divorces your eldest brother, she will have to let us control her! Wait a minute, let her buy you something more expensive."

As Zhou's mother spoke, she looked at her and warned her sternly.

"What? They got the marriage certificate? When did it happen? Didn't they just get engaged? How come they got the marriage certificate so quickly? Mom, why didn't you stop them at the time?"

"That Xia Meihui is probably not even as good as Xia Ruoan!" After hearing the news, Zhou Muyu's face was full of surprise, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted in disbelief.

"Look here, there are only ten minutes left before the ceremony begins, but Mr. Xia has yet to show up."

"Look at the people who came from Xia Meihui's house. They are all mediocre characters. Even our Zhou family is much better than them. Xia Ruoan at least knows how to grow flowers." Zhou Muyu felt more and more helpless as he spoke, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

In fact, Zhou's mother also thought so. It was not until she took the household registration book from her son yesterday and asked about it that she realized that he had already registered his marriage with Xia Meihui.

Whenever she thought about how Xia Ruoan, whom she looked down upon, could successfully marry into the Leng family, and how she would even have to be careful to curry favor with Xia Ruoan when she saw her in the future, Zhou's mother felt so aggrieved at this moment, and she couldn't swallow this anger.

"Okay, stop talking! Let's go over and sit down, it's about to start!" Mother Zhou interrupted her little daughter with a look of annoyance.

She secretly complained in her heart that if she continued to listen to her little daughter's endless chatter, she would probably regret it so much that her intestines would turn green.

Who could have expected that the seemingly ordinary Xia Ruoan actually had such great abilities that just a few pots of flowers could be so valuable and precious?

Originally, many guests came today to make friends with Mr. Xia and discuss cooperation.

However, as the engagement ceremony was about to officially begin, the seats at Xia Ji's table that had been reserved for Grandpa Xia and Lin Cai were still empty.

At this moment, Xia Jiye was sitting in front of the table. He looked calm on the surface, but his hands under the table had already been clenched into fists.

He really never expected that his old man would be so heartless and ruthless! He had humbled himself and begged him to attend the engagement ceremony, but what was the result?

The old man said he wouldn't come, and he really didn't come! Could it be that he didn't even have this little face in his eyes? The more he thought about it, the angrier Xia Jiye became. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This old guy is simply stubborn! In this case, don't blame me for being cruel!"

When he thought of the Xia family's old house, and the news that Xia Lin had returned from his subordinates whom he had arranged in advance, Xia Jiye's mouth corners could not help but rise slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Humph, when the time is right, he will make the entire Xia family suffer!

At this moment, Zhou's father could no longer suppress his inner doubts. He turned to Xia Jiye and asked, "My dear, what's going on with Mr. Xia? The engagement ceremony is about to begin, but why is there no sign of him?"

Although he was not as eager as his wife to establish a relationship with the Xia family through his daughter-in-law, he knew in his heart that if he could successfully establish this connection, it would definitely be beneficial to their Zhou family.

At this moment, Xia Jiye said with a smile: "What a coincidence, my father has some matters to deal with, so I'm afraid he can't come here in person today.

However, he had already given Meihui a generous gift yesterday. I think Meihui should be aware of this matter, right? Didn't she have time to tell you?"

Xia Meihui felt a pang of pain when she heard that, but she still pretended to be calm and nodded, saying, "Yes, Grandpa did give me a gift yesterday, and he also told me at the time that it depends on the specific situation in the next few days. If he is too busy to spare, he may not be able to come."

"After all, grandpa has been busy with work all the time, and everyone knows that. After I have made arrangements here later, I will take Mu Fan to visit grandpa." After saying these words, Xia Meihui turned to look at everyone, trying to explain it to them clearly.

Then, Xia Meihui added: "Grandpa often told me that I am his only granddaughter, and his love for me is beyond words."

However, only she herself knew how forced the smile on her face was.

In fact, Mr. Xia had never intended to attend the event, let alone give any gifts.

He even said that since she had chosen the person herself, then all the consequences had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Xia Meihui couldn't help but feel chilled.

Old Master Xia was completely dismissive of their family and didn't take them seriously at all.

Even though his father changed his surname to Xia, and even though he and his brother also took the surname Xia, they still did not have the qualifications to set foot in the old house.

When Zhou's mother heard about this from Xia Meihui, she felt relieved.
