"Madam, is the eldest daughter's marriage really settled?"

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! The day after tomorrow is the engagement day of the eldest young lady and the young master of the Ye family. Our Xiao family and the Ye family will finally be united by marriage!"

"With Miss Ye here, the Xiao family will surely be glorious for another thousand years!"

"How wonderful! How wonderful! Congratulations!"

"Our young lady is the most outstanding, the most dazzling princess in the entire capital. Only the young master of the Ye family is worthy of our young lady!"

"I'm really looking forward to the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow! The marriage between the Ye family and the Xiao family, two great families, will be such a grand ceremony!"

"I heard the entire Imperial Capital Building has been booked out. No matter what, I'm going to go and take a look the day after tomorrow, even if I'm not invited!"

……

Almost all the women of the Xiao family flocked to Madam Xiao's courtyard, exchanging joyful congratulations and laughter.

The saying goes, "If one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper."

These women who married into the Xiao family had been immersed in the family environment for many years and had long since become shrewd and perceptive.

They knew all too well that their comfortable lives depended entirely on the support of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family must not fall. Once they collapse, they will scatter like leaves in the wind, leaving them with no one to rely on.

Seeing the Xiao family gradually decline under the leadership of the previous patriarch, everyone was worried and placed almost all their hopes for the family's revival on Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran is not only more beautiful than flowers, but also exceptionally talented and intelligent.

If this princess of the Xiao family can marry into a super-rich family, she will surely help the Xiao family and prevent the family from declining.

Moreover, with her abilities, no matter which wealthy family she marries into, she can become a truly powerful lady with enough strength to protect the Xiao family.

In everyone's mind, the most ideal marriage partner in the entire capital was Ye Haitao, the young master of the Ye family.

Among the three great families, the young patriarch of the Zhu family is only ten years old. Xiao Ran cannot wait for him to grow up before getting married, given the age gap. As for the current patriarch of the Zhu family, he is already over forty years old and has been married for more than ten years.

Therefore, Ye Haitao is the most suitable candidate in the entire capital city.

Previously, Xiao Ran was obsessed with Ji Xiuhan from Ningcheng, which made everyone in the Xiao family hate Ji Xiuhan and wish he would be hit by a car and die.

Now that Xiao Ran has finally changed her mind and decided on Ye Haitao, and the marriage is finally settled, everyone is naturally overjoyed.

This is the greatest joy for the Xiao family. With Xiao Ran mediating, the family will surely develop smoothly and have no more worries.

Madam Xiao looked at the courtyard full of female relatives who came to offer their congratulations, and smiled from ear to ear, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Not to mention her, even Xiao Yuanqing's wife came over to join the celebration with a radiant smile.

Even Xiao Yuanqing himself called Madam Xiao to share his joy.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanqing and his wife were receiving a constant stream of phone calls.

The super-rich families all called to congratulate Xiao Yuanqing; and their wives contacted Mrs. Xiao to express their congratulations.

These top families are all shrewd and have long seen through the chain reaction brought about by Xiao Ran marrying into the Ye family.

With this marriage alliance, the Xiao family will surely rise against the odds and create new glories.

Therefore, they are all eager to build good relationships and pave the way for the future. Even powerful and wealthy families who previously looked down on the Xiao family and had never had any economic dealings with them have taken the initiative to call and express their goodwill.

Xiao Yuanqing was fine; he stayed in the chairman's office undisturbed and only needed to exchange a few polite words with the caller.

Meanwhile, every time Madam Xiao received a phone call, the women in the courtyard would listen intently, gesturing excitedly as they listened.

The phone call was filled not only with congratulations, but also with flattery and sycophancy.

"Madam Chen? She actually called me of her own accord?"

"And the wife of the chairman of Jiaoyang Group! I heard that this lady is always very arrogant and looks down on everyone, but she actually called to congratulate our lady?"

……

Hearing the familiar names of these wealthy ladies, the crowd whispered amongst themselves, their faces filled with admiration and pride.

After the celebration, a woman quickly shouted, "Everyone, calm down! We need to quickly discuss the preparations for the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow. What do we need to prepare, who can attend the banquet, what kind of dresses should everyone wear... we need to decide all of these as soon as possible!"

At her call, all the women immediately sprang into action, offering their suggestions and ideas.

Even Xiao Ran's sister-in-law, Xiao Yuanqing's wife, was surrounded by people who kept asking her for details.

Although Madam Xiao is the current head of the household, Xiao Yuanqing's wife is, after all, the head of the household's wife, and everyone naturally respects her opinions.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Where is our young lady? Shouldn't we ask her about some things, see if she has any requests or thoughts?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Madam, quickly contact the eldest young lady and ask her opinion so we can prepare accordingly!"

The others quickly echoed his sentiments.

Madam Xiao immediately called Xiao Ran.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's phone kept ringing.

Although she has always kept a low profile and rarely ventured into the top circles of the capital, she still has quite a few friends.

More importantly, as the future young mistress of the Ye family, she holds a prestigious position, making it difficult for her to keep a low profile even if she wanted to.

Some young ladies and wives from prominent families who had met her once or even never met her before tried every means to get her phone number and called to congratulate her.

"Sister Xiao Ran, I never expected your engagement to be such a sensation! Your phone hasn't stopped ringing since the news was released!"

Ye Haixia, who had been by Xiao Ran's side the whole time, was filled with envy.

She was a pretentious, vain woman, and listening to the constant compliments coming from Xiao Ran's phone filled her with jealousy. She wished she were the one being fawned over by everyone.

But Xiao Ran and Ye Haixia are completely different.

Faced with a series of unfamiliar calls, some of which she didn't even know who the caller was, she answered them all politely, speaking concisely and with perfect tact, neither arrogant nor ruthless, always maintaining a proper demeanor.

Finally, a familiar number called in; it was Mrs. Xiao.

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She really disliked dealing with these insincere compliments and quickly answered the phone.

A flurry of chatter immediately came from the other end of the phone. Before Madam Xiao could even speak, a woman exclaimed, "Miss, congratulations!"

"Don't call me Miss Ye, you should call me Madam Ye! The future Madam Ye of the Ye family! Congratulations, Madam Ye!"

Another voice immediately corrected.

……

Xiao Ran shook his head.

Although she knew beforehand that the marriage between the Ye and Xiao families would have a significant impact, she did not expect it to cause such a sensation.

Many of the Xiao family women who kept shouting on the phone had not gotten along with her before, but now they were all showering her with compliments. Their change of attitude was astonishing.

Finally, Madam Xiao's voice came through the noise, explaining the purpose of the call.

Xiao Ran agreed to go back to the Xiao family home that evening, and they would discuss the details later. He then hung up the phone in a hurry.

She really wanted some peace and quiet; the incessant ringing of the phone was giving her a headache.

Moreover, it wasn't just her; Mrs. Ye, who was beside her, was also constantly on the phone. In particular, Mrs. Ye's excited and loud voice made her feel even more disturbed.

But shortly after hanging up the phone, a text message came in: "Honey, are you happy now? Did I make you happy with what I did?"

The person who sent the text message was none other than that man.
