Zhou Mufan stood there, the discussions of the people around him echoing in his ears, and endless regret surged in his heart.

He couldn't help but start to reflect on his original decision: was it the right thing to do to choose Xia Meihui and give up Xia Ruoan?

Thinking back to the flowers that Xia Ruoan carefully cultivated, I now realize how precious and valuable they are, but I knew nothing about it.

At this moment, he deeply realized that he might never really understand Xia Ruoan.

Zhou Mufan's mind flashed with the seemingly ordinary information he had seen when he asked his assistant to investigate Xia Ruoan. However, if Xia Ruoan was really as ordinary as the information showed, then how could she know Leng Zexi?

Moreover, Zhang Kai had mentioned before that Xia Ruoan's background was not simple.

These questions shrouded Zhou Mufan's heart like a thick fog, making him feel more confused and uneasy.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "By the way, have you noticed that Old Master Xia or his close associates haven't shown up yet?"

These words were like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone started whispering to each other, discussing this strange phenomenon. Someone chimed in, "Yeah, the engagement party is about to officially begin, why haven't they arrived yet?"

Is it really as some people speculate, that Mr. Xia has no connection at all with Xia Jiye's family?"

"But there have always been rumors that Xia Jiye is Mr. Xia's illegitimate son. If this rumor is true, even if he is just an illegitimate child, he is still a blood relative after all!

So, shouldn't Grandpa Xia at least come to his granddaughter Xia Meihui's engagement party as a courtesy?" One of them asked doubtfully.

Another person shook his head, expressing his disagreement: "Whether he is an illegitimate child or not is still uncertain. Besides, I have observed carefully and cannot see any similarities or acquaintances between Xia Jiye and Old Master Xia."

"Hey, stop arguing. Won't everything be clear once the banquet officially begins? If Mr. Xia really doesn't show up by then, then the Zhou family will really be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!" Another person interrupted.

"That's right! If my daughter-in-law cultivated such expensive and rare flowers, I would definitely treat them like treasures."

"Unlike the Zhou family, they are so arrogant and don't know the value of things. No, it should be said that they are blind! They actually threw away precious flowers worth millions just because of a shabby bag worth less than 100,000 yuan." Everyone echoed and criticized the Zhou family.

Zhou Muyu, who was standing aside at this time, became more and more angry as he listened. Finally, he could no longer suppress his anger and turned around to find Xia Meihui to question her face to face.

She wondered how she could possibly lose face in such an important occasion. Furthermore, she harbored deep hatred for Xia Ruoan.

If Xia Ruoan had mentioned the true value of those flowers at the time, she would never have abandoned them no matter what.

Seeing Zhou Muyu's angry face, Xu Nan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and with a slightly playful smile on his lips, he said, "Look at how angry you are. Are you angry because Xia Meihui gave you a worthless bag, or are you regretting that you threw away the bouquet of flowers?"

He paused, then continued, "Are you still blaming me for not telling you how valuable the flower was? To be honest, even when Ruoan handed the flower to me personally, she never mentioned its value!"

"If I hadn't just been unable to bear seeing such a beautiful flower being wasted and abandoned by you, and hadn't run over to pick it up, I'm afraid this would have ended there.

Who would have thought that someone would come to buy flowers later? Only then did I realize how expensive those flowers were! "

At this point, Xu Nanyi shook his head helplessly and continued to taunt Zhou Muyu, "So, Miss Zhou, don't blame others. If you really want to blame someone, then you can only blame yourself for being too ignorant! Back then, you called Ruo'an a country bumpkin and looked down on her for being just a girl who grew some vegetables and flowers."

"If you had gotten to know Ruoan a little better, and had a little more respect and understanding for her, how could you have thrown away a bouquet of flowers worth millions like trash?"

"Look what's going on now. Millions of treasures have slipped away from you. It's all your own fault. You can't blame anyone else!" Recalling the scene when he first learned the true value of the flower, even Xu Nanyiyi himself felt quite surprised.

Later, her mother even told her to take the flowers back and return them to Xiao Xia Ruoan!

You know, later Xia Ruoan found out that it was her mother who had been taking good care of the flowers, so Xia Ruoan asked her to take the flowers to her mother without thinking.

Millions of flowers, just given away without hesitation. Xu Nanyi had rarely seen such courage.

Even if someone else had such wealth and generosity, they might not be willing to give it to her.

Only Xia Ruoan was willing to spend so much. Even after she learned that these flowers were so valuable, she couldn't help but be moved by them and even had the urge to own them.

Zhou Muyu was so angry at the time that he was about to explode, and he wanted to find Xia Meihui to settle the score.

However, just as she was about to leave in a rage, she was stopped by Zhou's mother. At this moment, Zhou's mother was actually very nervous and had no confidence.

She could only pray secretly, hoping that the highly respected Old Master Xia would come forward to personally solve this problem, otherwise the engagement party that their Zhou family had carefully prepared would become a big joke in the eyes of everyone.

Recalling that after Xu Nanyi moved the flowers away, his sister-in-law and Mrs. Liang posted the assessed value of the flowers on their WeChat Moments without any scruples.

It was not until then that she realized, as if awakened from a dream, that those seemingly ordinary flowers were actually so precious.

At that moment, she was so regretful that her intestines turned green. She wished that time could go back so that she could make a new choice.

But now, even her own daughter has voluntarily given up a bouquet worth millions, which undoubtedly makes her heart feel as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.
