What? The villain wants to marry me?

Xie Qingran and Fu Ruoan resolved the misunderstanding that was not really a misunderstanding, and the two of them stayed together in the study until Aunt Yu notified them that it was time for dinner, and then they went downstairs.

But Aunt Yu's ambiguous gaze made Fu Ruan so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Xie Qingran smiled with curved eyebrows.

When Aunt Yu saw Xie Qingran's expression, she felt quite comforted. She thought: The young lady is finally not alone anymore, and she looks a little more like a human being.

Look how sweet her smile is.

Yes, in Aunt Yu’s heart, she felt that the previous Xie Qingran was not like a living person at all.

Eating and drinking every day is purely due to physiological needs. Otherwise, she felt that Xie Qingran would not even look at the food.

Moreover, he would go in and out of the villa every day with a stern face, like an emotionless robot.

Now that Miss Fu is here, the villa has become popular.

After all, that girl is like a little sun.

While Fu Ruoan was still being affectionate with Xie Qingran, the Fu family welcomed a few uninvited guests.

Back in time, Mr. Fu and his three sons were still in the secret room.

The four of them were still discussing how to deal with the family seal and treasure when they received a call from the housekeeper, saying that a few people had come to the gate and asked if they wanted to be let in.

Mr. Fu pondered for a while, then asked the butler to invite the guest in and serve tea.

He and his three sons came out of the secret room. The four of them discussed and agreed on a statement, then went to the reception room.

There were four people sitting in the hall.

A young man in his early twenties, two middle-aged men, and an old man in his sixties.

Mr. Fu looked normal, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and he was afraid that the visitor had ill intentions!

"Several distinguished guests have arrived. I apologize for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me!"

The old man stood up and responded, "Master Fu, what are you talking about? We are being presumptuous and we hope the Fu family will bear with us."

The other three didn't even move, and the young man even looked disdainful.

This made the three brothers of the Fu family furious.

Mr. Fu said with a smile: "Ah, once you come to our house, you are a guest. Why talk about whether you are being treated well or not? It's too formal! Sit down and talk."

The two old foxes are testing each other.

Both parties took their seats.

Mr. Fu drank some tea slowly before speaking, "Where are you from? What brings you to my Fu family?"

The old man slapped his head as if to come to his senses and said, "Oh! Look at him, he has a terrible memory when he gets old. He even forgot to introduce himself."

This is really a veiled attack.

But Mr. Fu still smiled, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words and didn't join in the fun.

The old man was embarrassed for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "Master Fu, have you forgotten? I was the one we spoke to on the phone before. I was Fu Bingsheng, the one who talked to you about the marriage.

We are a family, but unfortunately, there is no suitable candidate for marriage in our family at this time, so we went to find the head of the Fu family, hoping that the Fu family would agree to the marriage because we are from the same bloodline.

This is not only good for us, but also a great honor for the Fu family in Anshi."

Mr. Fu drank some more tea and said calmly, "We are from the same family and should help each other. However, I am afraid I cannot make the decision on this important matter of marriage.

Now we live in a new society. The old ways of following parents' orders and matchmakers' words are no longer applicable.

What's more, my granddaughter already has a boyfriend. If I break up with her hastily, it might damage her reputation, so I'm afraid I can't agree to it."

Mr. Fu didn't know yet. He originally said this as an excuse, but he didn't expect that Fu Ruoan really had a partner.

Fu Bingsheng said anxiously, "Master Fu, the person we are looking for is Miss Fu Ruoan. Does she have a boyfriend?"

A fierce look flashed in Fu Mingde's eyes, and he was about to speak, but Old Man Fu spoke first.

"Oh, what a coincidence! An An just told us two days ago that she made a friend. If you had come earlier, maybe there would have been a chance. But now it's hard to do."

After saying this, his face showed a bit of difficulty.

As if really considering the other person.

Fu Bingsheng was silent. Why did he not believe it?

He and Old Man Fu had only spoken on the phone for a few days, and Fu Ruoan had already found a boyfriend? Was he kidding me?

However, knowing that Fu Ruoan has a boyfriend, he can't force her to break up, right?

There’s no way the other party would agree!

Fu Bingsheng stepped back and said, "Then the others don't have any, right?"

Mr. Fu pondered for a moment and said, "My eldest son's grandchildren are all married. One of my second son's granddaughters has a partner, and the other has been away from home for a long time and I don't know where she is. Xicheng, the third son's daughter, also has a girlfriend, so..."

After saying that, he spread his hands, as if to say: You see, I really can't promise you.

Fu Bingsheng fell silent again.

But I was thinking in my heart: It's really hard for this old man. In order to reject him, he just made up an excuse, and it sounded quite convincing.

If they hadn't investigated beforehand, they would have been fooled.

Just because he could keep his composure didn't mean the other three could, especially the young man.

He immediately slammed the table, then stood up and angrily shouted: "Old man Fu, don't be so shameless! Our Xie family is looking for you to marry into our family because we think highly of your Fu family. You are trying to resist, are you trying to test our Xie family's ability?!"

Old Master Fu's face darkened. Before he could say anything, Fu Mingde stood up suddenly, glaring at him.

"You little bastard! Watch your mouth! Not only can you not represent your family, even if the person in charge of your family came, he wouldn't speak so arrogantly!

If the Xie family you're talking about is really that powerful, then why are you seeking an alliance with us? Are you kidding me?!

The young man was so embarrassed by Fu Mingde's criticism that he blushed but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

Upon seeing this, Fu Bingsheng cursed inwardly: He is incapable of accomplishing anything, but always capable of causing trouble!

He immediately smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Third Master Fu. Young Master Xie is used to being flattered in Kyoto, so he speaks a little bluntly. Don't take it to heart."

Fu Mingde spat inwardly: The old man is really capable of cursing people in a roundabout way!

Then he sneered and said, "Oh, in that case, please go back! Our Fu family temple is small, and Master Xie's big Buddha can't accommodate it."

This is clearly a way of driving people away.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

After hearing Fu Mingde's words to drive people away, Fu Bingsheng glanced at Mr. Fu who was sitting at the top. His obviously indifferent look made Fu Bingsheng know that there might be no more talk today.

Then he stood up and said, "Master Fu, we came here in a hurry today, and everyone is a little resistant, so let's forget it for now.

How about we arrange a visit another day and discuss it later?"

Mr. Fu looked at him calmly and said, "I just said that there is no one in the family who is suitable for marriage, so you don't have to waste your time."

The implication is that no matter what, he would not agree to the marriage.

Fu Bingsheng's face darkened as he casually threatened, "Master Fu, a marriage alliance will benefit everyone. I advise you to think carefully about it. If you really refuse so firmly, don't blame me for not warning you if something goes wrong."

Old Master Fu stood up and said with great momentum: "Since the Fu family settled in An City, they have never been afraid of anyone! What can a mere Xie family do?! So what if you are from Kyoto?

As the old saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake!

If you really have the ability, wipe out my Fu family!"

Once these words were spoken, it could be said that the relationship was truly at odds.

Fu Bingsheng and the other three had dark expressions on their faces, but they were unable to refute.

No matter how powerful the Xie family is in Kyoto, it will not be possible for them to swallow up the Fu family in a short time.

The four of them could only leave in frustration.
