The old house of the Xia family.

At this time, Xia Yao was blocked in her room, and she looked at her mother who was with her side with a sad face.

Wu Rong felt helpless and very incomprehensible about her daughter's choice, although this marriage arrangement did seem a little hasty, but Qin Shijie, the Qin family, she also grew up watching from a young age, and she was also an outstanding young man among many wealthy families, not only talented but also very handsome, which can be said to attract the attention of countless girls.

But why did his daughter refuse to marry each other?

Wu Rong really didn't want to see her daughter in pain, so she had to comfort softly now: "Yaoyao, your marriage was set by your grandfather himself, and you also know that your grandfather has always been the same, if you insist on disobeying him today, I'm afraid it won't end well, and Shijie, this kid's character and ability are very good in all aspects, and he is also a good match for you, why do you resist like this?"

"Mom, what age is it now, how can there be your own elders to make a marriage contract?"

Xia Yao couldn't listen to it at all, and immediately retorted there.

Wu Rong shook her head, sighed, and said, "That being said, this is just in those ordinary families. Where does a wealthy family like ours get the freedom to marry? You see, didn't your father and I get married because of the arrangement of our parents and elders? I don't have you anymore! Actually, sometimes this is not a completely bad thing. ”

Xia Yao glanced at Wu Rong, paused, and said leisurely: "Mom, are you happy all these years?"

"Y-Why do you ask?"

Wu Rong's face changed suddenly.

Xia Yao said with a solemn expression: "When I was a child, I often saw you hiding in the room and crying secretly, I didn't understand it at that time, I only knew that you were sad, but I didn't know why you were sad." Later, when I grew up, I also learned some things from many sources, and I knew that you didn't really want to marry my dad back then, and you already had a very loving first love at that time, didn't you?"

"Y-How do you know?"

Wu Rong's expression trembled, and her eyes were full of shock.

Xia Yao shook her head and said, "Mom, I have my own means." ”

Wu Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and she said slowly: "Since you know that my mother doesn't hide it from you, I did have a first love before marrying your father." But so what, after I married your father over the years, the Xia family has been very good to me and the Wu family, and I am still very happy. ”

Xia Yao looked at Wu Rong with burning eyes, and said again, "Mom, are you really happy?"

"You—don't look at me like that. ”

Wu Rong couldn't bear her daughter's eyes, which seemed to hit people's hearts.

After all, it was her mother Xia Yao's gaze that softened a lot, and she said slowly: "Over the years, my dad has often been busy with work, and many times he will come back late, although my dad's heart for you will definitely not be nonsense outside, but I can't feel the kind of intimate relationship between the two of you." Yes, the Wu family's influence in the business world has indeed increased day by day over the years since I was sensible, but are these really worth marrying my father?"

"What's the solution, these are your grandfather's arrangements after all. ”

Wu Rong heard this as if it had touched the softness of her heart for many years, and at this time she couldn't help but say leisurely: "Their generation is the era of the same thing, how can they come to listen to our opinions?"

This is clearly an admission of what he just said.

At this time, Xia Yao felt grief for her mother, and felt that her fate might be the same as her mother, and her heart became quite excited for a while.

Wu Rong sighed softly again and said, "Yaoyao, I think I also know that your grandfather's health has been getting worse day by day in the past two years, and he told your father a few days ago that he doesn't know when he will die." What he can't worry about the most is the Xia Group, which is his life's work. Although your father has been quite diligent in the past few years after your grandfather retired, after all, he is not as keen as your grandfather in the business world, and the Xia Group has been going downhill in the past two years, which makes your grandfather even more uneasy to go like this, but the Qin family is different, Qin Wentian is a few years younger than your grandfather, and the Qin family has built in various fields over the years, and the market value of the Qin Group now directly exceeds our Xia family, if you can really marry the Qin family, then the Xia family will definitely be as stable as a rock in the next twenty or thirty years! This is also the most important reason why your grandfather insisted on bringing about the marriage of the two of you!"

Xia Yao's face changed suddenly, and she said angrily: "Isn't the wealth earned back by your own efforts?, why use your own daughter's happiness to maintain it?!"

Wu Rong sighed again and said, "Maybe this is fate!"

"No!"

Xia Yao resisted without hesitation, and she said in a firm tone: "Mom, I will never agree, and I, I already have a boyfriend!"

"You have a boyfriend?"

Wu Rong's face changed suddenly.

Xia Yao nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to bring him over during the Chinese New Year so that you could take a look, but he couldn't make the trip because he had some urgent personal matters to deal with at that time." ”

Wu Rong didn't expect her daughter to have a boyfriend outside, and the mother felt both happy and suddenly had an inexplicable and sad sense of familiarity, she shook her head and said, "Yaoyao, I don't care who that person is, and I don't want to know how far he has progressed with your mother, but one thing is that if you let your grandfather and them know about the situation of the two of you, they will definitely not agree to you being together, so it's better to end up with that boy as soon as possible." ”

"No!"

At the beginning, before Liu Jian had no career, Xia Yao actually fell in love with Liu Jian a long time ago, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party already had a girlfriend at that time, maybe the two would have been together a long time ago.

Later, she finally reunited in Jiangnan City, and the relationship developed rapidly, how could she be willing to miss such an opportunity again?

So at this time, Xia Yao said in a firm tone: "Mom, I will never give up! No matter who wants to break us up, I will not be separated from him." ”

Looking at her daughter's extremely determined appearance, this made Wu Rong seem to see her former self, and she sighed softly: "Yaoyao, why are you so stupid? Even if your mother can understand your determination, so what? The marriage between two wealthy families is not so simple to break off, even if you like that boy again, how can he snatch you from a wealthy family like Qin Shijie? Your grandfather has the means to stop the two of you!"

"But he's not the one—"

Xia Yao suddenly wanted to speak, but at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
