Chapter 48: Break off the engagement
"Who knew that guy was so ugly? I almost vomited when I saw the portrait. If I saw the real person, wouldn't I spit out my intestines?" Xue Qingqing said hurriedly, but she didn't dare to recall it for fear of I threw up last night's dinner.
"Then what should we do? The city lord will definitely not agree!" Xue Hai wiped his hands with cold sweat again.
He is the most successful businessman in Wanjin City. The betrothal gift of 50 million taels of silver is returned twice, which is one million taels of gold, and he can still afford it.
However, Xue Qingqing was engaged to the Young City Lord of Wanjin City. If he broke off the engagement, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Lord of Wanjin City
Then from now on, they may not have peace in Wanjincheng.
"I don't care, I won't marry that ugly guy anyway. Besides, dad, you have attracted so many tributes in recent years, and our Xue family is not much worse than the Zhang family. We can't have a falling out." Xue Qingqing said angrily.
"You little girl will really cause trouble for me. It was fine if you didn't agree at first, but now it's fine. You have caused such a big thing for daddy."
Xue Hai was also helpless, but he loved Xue Qingqing the most. He also didn't like Xue Qingqing marrying a person as ugly as a pig, even though the other person was extremely talented and had been accepted as a direct disciple by an elder of the Splitting Heaven Sect.
As an outsider, Ye Xuan also kept his mouth shut and could not interrupt.
The three of them were silent for a while, but at this moment, a servant of the Xue family suddenly came in.
"Master, someone is coming from the City Lord's Mansion!"
"What? So fast?"
Xue Hai was shocked. He didn't expect that the Zhang family's news network was so good. Xue Qingqing hadn't been back ten minutes before the other party came.
"We must have been discovered when we entered the city. Dad, I don't care. Anyway, I want to break off the engagement. You can handle it yourself, or I will run away again." Xue Qingqing's heart also jumped and she said.
"No, the world is in such chaos now. If you run around again, what if you encounter some bad guys?" Xue Hai said, turning around and saying: "Quickly go ask Lian to worship, and then invite the distinguished guests of the City Lord's Mansion in. "
"yes!"
The servant left in a hurry, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked in.
"Lian Fengfeng, our Xue family may have a big fight with the Zhang family this time. I hope Lian Fengfang can help. I agree to your conditions!" Xue Hai said heartbrokenly.
This company worshiper is a master he recently invited, and he has already reached the ninth level of martial arts. But the other party's price was too high, equivalent to the price of five eighth-level martial arts offerings, so Xue Hai hesitated.
But for now, I can only agree!
"Haha, it's easy to say. Since I am the worshiper of the Xue family, I am sure to take action." The worshiper was also smiling, because he could get ten million taels of silver every month, which was enough for him to do nothing. get.
Then, the company priest stood behind Xue Hai, and after a while, people from the city lord's palace also came in.
"It turns out it's General Chen. He's coming here, but he's too far away to greet you!" After seeing the visitor, Xue Hai hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists.
This General Chen is the guarding general of Wanjin City and a confidant of the lord of Wanjin City.
After he entered the door, he found Xue Qingqing sitting beside him, and then said: "Executive member Xue, do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"
Xue Hai smiled awkwardly and said: "I know, General Chen must be here for my daughter's marriage."
"Yes, since Miss Xue has returned to Wanjin City, the city lord will not pursue Miss Xue's escape from marriage. The city lord has set a time. Three days later, it will be the engagement day of Miss Xue and the young city lord." General Chen said .
"This..." Xue Hai hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"Does Mr. Xue have any opinions? I will tell the city lord on your behalf." General Chen said.
Xue Hai glanced at Xue Qingqing and saw that the latter was about to cry at this time, which made his heart skip a beat. He said: "General Chen, I hope you can help me tell the city lord that this marriage can't happen. Then I will send double the bride price back to Zhang Mansion!"
"What, you want to break off the engagement? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so?" General Chen stared in disbelief.
In Wanjin City, the city lord is the biggest, but someone dares to withdraw from the marriage in the city lord's mansion. This is a slap in the city lord's face.
The most important thing is that the target is still the young city lord of Wanjin City!
"Yes, I have already considered this matter. I hope General Chen will tell the city lord." Xue Hai said bravely.
"It's really contrary, Xue Hai, do you really think that your Xue family can fight against the city lord? The young city lord has already fallen in love with Miss Xue. If you dare to back out of this marriage, you may not be so happy in Wanjin City." General Chen reminded.
Xue Hai gritted his teeth and said, "See you off!"
"Okay, very good. I will definitely tell the city lord these words, word for word. Farewell!" General Chen said angrily, then turned and left.
Although he was at the pinnacle of the eighth level of martial arts, he could feel that the person behind Xue Hai was not simple. He was at least the ninth level of martial arts. Therefore, he could not act recklessly in the Xue family and could only report back to the city lord's palace.
After General Chen left, Xue Qingqing rushed over and hugged Xue Hai, kissing the latter hard on the face: "Daddy is the best."
"Girl, you have caused big trouble for dad this time. If I had known this, why did you agree to this marriage in the first place?" Xue Hai said helplessly, squeezing his face.
"I said I regret it. Who made you take the time to give me the portrait? Well, one reason is that the guy is ugly, and the second reason is actually because of him." Xue Qingqing said, suddenly pointing with a green-green finger. Ye Xuan.
Xue Hai was a little confused and didn't quite understand.
Xue Qingqing explained: "I'm not bad in appearance, so I want to marry someone like Ye Xuan. Besides, dad, didn't you want to marry me to him before?"
"You mean, you want to marry Ye Xuan?" Harmed him?"
Xue Hai is actually a warrior, but he is built with pills. He is essentially a businessman.
It actually doesn't matter who his future son-in-law is, whether he is a strong man or an ordinary person, as long as he is not stupid and can take over his business.
"Dad, don't underestimate Ye Xuan. Do you know what state he is in now?" Xue Qingqing's beautiful eyes suddenly turned and she said playfully.
"What realm?" Xue Hai asked.
In fact, he has also heard that Ye Xuan is the number one genius of the Ye family. However, Lianyun City is just a small town, and the genius there is not worth mentioning in Wanjincheng.
In Wanjin City, there are many people who have reached the fourth level of martial arts at the age of fifteen, and they have all been accepted as outer disciples by the Splitting Cloud Sect.
