She stood with her hands on her hips, her back ramrod straight, her face beaming with undisguised smugness, her eyes shining as if Ma Lihua had accomplished a great feat. She was completely oblivious to Ma Linghua's already gloomy face, which seemed to drip with water, and the chilling aura emanating from her body.
"Shut your mouth, my ass!"
Ma Linghua was like a powder keg that had been lit. She roared out in an instant, and the sound seemed to make the roof beams tremble slightly. Everyone in the hall was so shocked that they trembled and dared not breathe.
The Li family fell silent instantly, the huge hall so quiet it was like a vacuum, with only the sound of their rapid, suppressed breathing audible, the atmosphere so heavy it was suffocating.

Seeing this, Ma Linghua was even more furious. Her face turned bright red, like a ripe tomato, and the veins on her forehead bulged, resembling wriggling earthworms.
"Fine, if you want to marry into my Ma family, then let your wealth speak for itself. Everything else is meaningless."
