Chapter 336 Obstructed
When He Lin walked in, several pairs of eyes looked at him, and when they saw him shaking his head, they all showed strange expressions.
"The Rong family doesn't agree?" Mrs. Xia moved, but was stopped by Li Taohua next to her.
"President Rong is not in the mansion. The housekeeper said that the second son Rong fell seriously ill after returning from our place. He, as a servant, dare not make decisions for his master."
"Marriage is a union of two families. If one family is unwilling, can the other family force it? This matter is already a done deal. Does the Rong family want to break up with them?"
Madam Xia was angry, and Xia Ruwan tried to persuade her: "Mother, it's not a big deal, is it worth getting angry? The Rong family is also well-known, and it's inevitable that they will feel embarrassed when someone cancels the engagement. In addition, I'm injured here. If the Rong family easily accepts the cancellation of the engagement, they will have to worry about the gossip outside."
Xia Ruwan is now disfigured. If the Rong family agrees to cancel the engagement, gossipers will inevitably say that the Rong family is not kind and can only share the good times but not the bad times. Of course, the Rong family must show their attitude, which shows that their character is precious.
"What should we do next?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"I'll come here in person to break off the engagement." Xia Ruwan said, "I really don't want to have anything to do with him for even a moment, so it's better to draw a clear line as soon as possible."
"Okay, Brother Lin, please accompany Wan'er on another trip." Mrs. Xia said to He Lin.
Mrs. Xia needs to rest, Xia Ruwan and He Lin are busy breaking off the engagement, and Li Taohua takes her two daughters home.
She returned to the Food City and saw that everything was the same as before, with many customers coming. She said to Qin Huiyin beside her, "It seems that your Uncle Tang can handle it even without us."
Li Taohua didn't see Tang Dafu and felt strange. If it were any other time, she would have seen Tang Dafu standing at the door like a man waiting for his wife before she even entered the house.
"Where is Manager Tang?" Li Taohua asked the waiter next to her.
The waiter was greeting a customer. After handing the customer over to another waiter, he turned around and said, "I didn't see Manager Tang this morning."
"He didn't say where he was going?"
"No."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Li Taohua saw Tang Dafu coming back from outside, striding over, one hand on his waist, looking unfriendly: "Where have you been?"
Tang Dafu was surprised when he saw Li Taohua: "Wife, you are back. I bought you some tofu pudding from your favorite store. Please try it."
Li Taohua's expression relaxed when she saw what he was carrying.
Tang Dafu walked past Li Taohua carrying something, and Li Taohua immediately smelled a fragrance.
She sniffed in the direction of Tang Dafu, twisted his ear and said, "Whose scent is this? The proprietress of my favorite Niuji tofu pudding is already sixty years old, but she never uses perfume powder."
"Ouch, wife, my ear has fallen off. It fell off. This is because I bumped into a young wife and she left it on me." Tang Dafu cried out in pain.
Li Taohua let go of his ear and snorted unkindly: "It's better this way."
Tang Dafu patted her shoulder flatteringly and said infatuatedly: "My wife cares about me so much, I'm really happy."
Tang Luwu and Qin Huiyin looked at each other, then turned left and right respectively, and went about their own business.
What were they worried about just now?
They should have thought of it earlier. Tang Dafu would never be able to escape from Li Taohua's grasp in this life, so how could he have other thoughts? They were anxiously waiting here, but in the end they were fed a mouthful of dog food.
A few days later, the news that the Xia family wanted to break off the engagement with the Rong family spread throughout the city. However, the news that the Rong family was unwilling to break off the engagement and wanted to marry into the Xia family as soon as possible also spread.
The Xia family came to cancel the engagement three times. The first time, the housekeeper declined. The second time, Rong Wenxuan personally expressed his loyalty. The third time, Rong Jingbo refused to cancel the engagement. In order to keep the marriage between the two families going, Rong Jingbo also made a list, which was filled with the sincerity that the Rong family wanted to transfer to the Xia family.
"So, you're not going to call it quits?" Qin Huiyin was eating melon seeds, looking at Xia Ruwan who was sitting there looking at the account book. "Who was the one who kept saying he wanted to call off the engagement?"
"Sister, take a look at this list..." Xia Ruwan handed it to Qin Huiyin, "I am a businessman, and business is business. Such a good deal may only come once in a lifetime. It would be a bit rude to refuse it."
When Qin Huiyin saw the contents on the list, she understood Xia Ruwan's decision.
If it were her, she would also be moved.
"Think about it. Sooner or later I will need a live-in son-in-law like this. He brings so much dowry. No, this is for me, so it is considered a betrothal gift. It will not be easy to find a live-in son-in-law with so much dowry in the future. I have given up on Rong Wenxuan, but if he insists on marrying me, we can be a nominal couple."
"You want to be a formal couple with him, has he agreed?" Qin Huiyin asked, "Since he wants to marry you, of course he wants to be a real couple."
"I used to want to leave an heir for the Xia family, but now that I have a younger brother, I no longer have that idea. I am old enough to get married sooner or later, so why not use this marriage to help the Xia family climb the ladder to higher status?"
"Have you ever thought about finding someone who shares your feelings?"
"I'm now..." Xia Ruwan touched her cheek.
Qin Huiyin frowned: "Not all men value appearance."
"But isn't appearance the first impression people make when they meet each other? Even you and I like to see good-looking guys. What's wrong with men liking good-looking people?" Xia Ruwan said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Rong Mingjin and Li Congxiao's wedding is in half a month. Can you help me pick out a good gift?"
Qin Huiyin looked at the list and picked out one that was average.
"That's it, then."
Rong's house. Rong Wenxuan hurried to the side yard, opened the door, looked at Rong Mingjin hanging there, and quickly hugged her legs to save her.
"Jin'er...Jin'er..." Rong Wenxuan called Rong Mingjin.
Rong Mingjin slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Rong Wenxuan, he pulled his sleeve tightly: "Second brother, don't marry her, please."
Rong Wenxuan frowned: "Jin'er, don't be like this, we are brother and sister."
"So what? When I was twelve, we were kidnapped by human traffickers, and you took me all the way to escape. From that day on, you have been the person I admire the most."
She was only twelve years old at that time and was nearly raped by a bandit, but he appeared and saved her. His white clothes were stained with the blood of the wicked, and he appeared like a hero.
It was also from that day that she relied on him for a long time, so much so that everyone in the Rong family knew that they had a good relationship and placed her yard next to his.
When he first had a maidservant, she was so jealous that there was a dead body in the pond the next day. That was the first time she was stained with blood for him, but from then on, there was no turning back. She went all the way down that path and was unwilling to let go.
