In Lu Bo's opinion, no woman of ordinary background could refuse to marry into a wealthy family. Xia Shige grew up in the countryside with her adoptive mother, and she would definitely not refuse if she had the chance to marry into a wealthy family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Siyuan rubbed his face in annoyance and turned around to go upstairs.

After the Lu family and the Gui family finalized their marriage plan, Xu Yilan went to Gui's house in person to discuss the marriage of their two children with his wife.
"Madam Xia, please look. This is a photo of our Shige. He just graduated from college last year. He studied at a prestigious university." Xu Yilan handed the photo of Xia Shige to Madam Xia and said with a smile.
Mrs. Xiao squinted her eyes and looked at the photo from left to right. In the photo, Xia Shige had long black hair, which made her skin look as white as snow. She had a bright smile and looked youthful and lively. She looked like a pure, sensible and obedient girl.
Mrs. Lu was very satisfied. She was pretty, came from the Lu family, and graduated from a prestigious university. She was a very capable daughter-in-law.
Madam Lu smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she thought of Xia Shige's name and said hesitantly, "It's just that this child's last name is Xia. She doesn't sound like the daughter of the Lu family."
Xu Yilan smiled and replied, "We have thought about this issue a long time ago. Lu Bo and I have discussed it and will change her name to Lu Sigao as soon as possible. We will also publicly acknowledge that she is our biological daughter. Don't worry."
Mrs. Xu was finally relieved to hear what she said. She smiled, patted Xu Yilan's hand, and said kissily, "My dear, let's settle the matter as soon as possible. We can skip the engagement process. The weather is so hot now, so let's not bother the guests. Let's just get married directly."
Seeing Xu Yilan nod in agreement, Mrs. Xu continued, "I've asked someone to look it up, and the 1st of next month is a good date. Let's hold the wedding banquet on that day."
Xu Yilan was stunned when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "Isn't it too urgent to prepare on the 1st of next month? I'm afraid there won't be enough time to prepare many things."
Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, my family has already prepared everything we need, including the wedding dress and diamond ring. Besides, things like this will change if we delay. Let's get married sooner and let the two children develop feelings for each other sooner. Maybe, we can have a grandson next year!"
Seeing Xu Yilan still a little hesitant, Mrs. Xu's eyes turned and she spoke softly, "My dear relatives, I heard that your Lu family is in a bad situation recently. After the marriage, my family will inject capital into the Lu family. The sooner you get married, the sooner you can get the money. Don't you think so?"
This touched Xu Yilan's heart. She smiled and nodded, and replied: "Okay, then we will hold the wedding on the first of next month."
Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, and she personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Yilan.
Xu Yilan took a sip of tea and thought about Xia Shige's temper. She said to Madam Xiao a little embarrassedly, "Sige was not raised by us since she was a child. She has picked up some bad habits from her adoptive mother. If she does anything wrong after marrying here, Madam Xiao will have to bear with her."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu smiled and replied, "My dear, don't worry. Once your daughter comes home, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter. It just so happens that I don't have a daughter, so Si Ge will be my daughter from now on."
Xu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved when she heard this.
Mrs. Xiao thought to herself that she didn't care what Xia Shige's habits were. It was just about educating her daughter-in-law, and she had many ways to do it. When Xia Shige came home next month, she would have a few ways to make her obedient!

In order to thank Xia Shige for sending her to the hospital in time last time, Tang Shiqi brought a lot of gifts to the Xia family today to express her gratitude.
Looking at the boxes full of fresh vegetables, beef, shrimp and crabs, grandma said helplessly: "You are too polite, child. You always bring so many things every time you come. How much does it cost?"
Tang Shiqi smiled and replied, "These are free, and I can't finish them all by myself, so just think of it as sharing the burden for me."
Grandma Liu and grandma asked Tang Shiqi to sit down, and together they took the food to the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch to entertain Tang Shiqi.
Xia Shige knew that this was Zhou's product. Thinking of Zhou, she was a little concerned about the progress of the sand vine cake and asked, "Shiqi, I heard that they are using desert vines to research disaster relief food. Has your boyfriend told you about this?"
Tang Shiqi sighed, "He has been too busy these past two months to come home. He is busy with this. It is said that the supplies will be delivered to various supply points as early as November."
The two were chatting when the doorbell rang again.
When Sun Yuegui heard the ringing sound, she went out to check the camera. Outside the door were two unfamiliar middle-aged ladies.
Both ladies were holding gorgeous parasols and carrying two bags in their hands.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Sun Yuegui asked suspiciously.
"Hello, I'm looking for Xia Shige." One of the ladies answered with a smile.
Sun Yuegui looked at her attire, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Shige's mother."
