High Martial Arts: Invincibility Begins with Fishing Through the Heavens

Last time, when Qiao Xihe was forced to go back, she thought it was for a blind date, but it turned out that her parents told her she was to marry Fu Yan!

She was, of course, against it.

During her time in the hospital, Qiao Xihe witnessed firsthand how much Fu Yanshi loved Xu Qinghuan!

If I agree to marry Fu Yan, wouldn't that be the same as becoming a mistress?

She's not that cheap.

However, in the business world, the strong prey on the weak. The Qiao family was powerless to go against the Fu family, so they had no choice. Although Qiao Xihe's father and Fu Huazhen were old friends, the other party had condescended to propose a marriage alliance. If the Qiao family refused, the matter could be resolved in an instant.

Besides...

The main problem is that Qiao Xihe is not valued at home.

The Qiao family favored sons over daughters.

She was open-minded and didn't want to fight for any inheritance. Instead, she felt that with a male heir to inherit the family business, she could study medicine and do something she liked.

But unexpectedly, the Qiao family still had a use for her.

"I could never marry her."

Fu Yanshi's answer was brief, without any intention of discussion, and he didn't even look up at her.

“I know.” Qiao Xihe pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak. “So can you persuade Uncle Fu to give up on arranging this business marriage? Our Qiao family has no say in front of your Fu family…”

Actually, before Fu Yanshi and Xu Qinghuan returned to China, she wanted to talk to him alone, but she held back in the end.

They felt that perhaps the Fu family would change their minds after they returned to China this time.

But just before I came to this ward to change his dressing, Qiao Xihe's father called again.

The gist of it is that Qiao Xihe should do whatever it takes to get Fu Yanshi to agree to the marriage, so that the Qiao family can rise to the top and climb the social ladder by marrying into the Fu Group! She was even warned not to mess things up, since the Qiao family has raised her for so many years, she should at least contribute something to the Qiao family.

She was forced to leave Xu Qinghuan alone so that she could speak with Fu Yanshi alone.

She didn't speak when she saw Fu Yan, clearly not wanting to talk to him.

Qiao Xihe bit her lower lip, steeling her resolve, "I did save your life, after all. I was just hoping you could help me out of a predicament. You don't need to be so stingy, do you?"

Fu Yanshi finally looked up at her, but his face remained expressionless.

"I told you, I will not marry you."

This marriage was never going to happen, so she naturally had nothing to worry about.

"Could Uncle Fu tell my dad?"

She knew that Fu Yanshi would not marry her, but unable to withstand the pressure from her family, Qiao Xihe could only pin her hopes on Fu Yanshi.

“After I remarry Xu Qinghuan, he will naturally give up the idea.”

Fu Yanshi knew that communicating with his father was useless.

Just like Xia Wanyu they forced upon them back then.

All he can do is ignore them and not follow their instructions, but he can't control his parents' behavior.

Qiao Xihe understood what he meant and could only nod, "Then you two should remarry quickly, and it would be best to get the marriage certificate this month."

Fu Yanshi twitched his thin lips.

He wanted to come too.

When Xu Qinghuan returned, their conversation had already ended.

The ward returned to its previous quiet.

"Dr. Qiao, is this the medicine?"

She took it, nodded, and said, "Yes! I'll trouble you to make this trip."

"It's alright." Xu Qinghuan smiled, then her gaze fell on Fu Yanshi's wound.

Because the stitches were just removed, there was bound to be some bleeding; the centipede-like incision looked quite shocking.

Xu Qinghuan felt terrible because this injury was inflicted on her behalf.

Qiao Xihe, who was standing to the side, saw her expression and said gently, "Miss Xu, Mr. Fu treats you so well, you two should remarry soon."
