The man looked to be in his twenties. Perhaps it was because he often drank and stayed up late that dark eye bags surrounded his eyes, and his whole body looked fat.

Xia Wan subconsciously felt that he’d be a problem and wanted to stay away from him. She did not expect the man to see Xia Wan in the crowd.

The man was Lu Lin. He immediately spotted the beautiful girl standing in the crowd at a glance.

That pair of lively and delicate eyes, her graceful figure, and the temperament of a fairy that had descended to the mortal world all shocked Lu Lin deeply.

When he first came to this County, he was very disdainful. The roads here were so old that he was afraid his car would be damaged. Thinking that he actually had a fiancée in such an old place, Lu Lin was full of anger.

He just wanted to ruin this marriage as soon as possible. How could a girl from such a dilapidated town be his wife? After seeing Xia Wan, however, Lu Lin suddenly felt that perhaps not all the women in this town were so ugly.

Alternatively, he could go and see what she looked like first. If she was as beautiful as Xia Wan, then he could follow his grandfather’s orders and marry her. At most, he could go out and find other women after he married her. The girls from the town were not so scheming and were unable to control him. Suddenly, it didn’t seem like such a bad idea after all.

“Beauty, wait a moment. I have something to ask you.” Lu Lin stood in front of Xia Wan, blocking her way.

When Xia Wan saw the man’s face clearly, her heart sank, and a chill ran down her spine. This man was her fiancé in her previous life, the one who married Xia Ru and allowed Xia Ru to hurt her parents, causing their deaths.

Back then, the marriage was set by Xia Wan’s grandfather and Lu Lin’s grandfather. They had a life-and-death friendship on the battlefield, so they agreed that if they gave birth to a boy and a girl in the future, they would get married. However, they soon gave birth to a son, so the marriage was set for the grandson generation.

However, after Xia Wan’s grandfather passed away, Li Jin was a little unwilling to accept the marriage. She was afraid that the other party would not achieve much in the future.

The other party had left a ring to Xia Wan’s grandfather as a token. With this ring, the Xia family could marry into the Lin family in the future.

As the Lin family had a grandson, the Xia family had to marry their daughter. According to the Xia family’s seniority, Xia Ru should have been the one to marry.

However, Song Yan was a very shrewd person. She felt that if the other party’s family was not good, Xia Ru would be at a disadvantage if she married him.

In that era, Ex military personnel suffered from all kinds of health problems after leaving the military. Song Yan was afraid that the other party would also have some problems, so she went to Li Jin and kept saying good things about Xia Ru. The general implication was that Xia Ru would definitely be a smart girl in the future and would have more choices. There was no need to be held back by a marriage.

Li Jin also felt that what Song Yan said made sense. Then, he prepared to choose one of Xia Ye and Xia Wan.

Chen Lian was also a smart person. When she saw that Song Yan and Li Jin were not very satisfied with the marriage. She felt that the other party was definitely not a powerful person and probably had a hard time. Hence, Chen

Lian bought a lot of good things for Li Jin and said a lot of good things to him. Only then did Li Jin give up on the idea of marrying Xia Ye.

In the end, the marriage had fallen on Xia Wan’s shoulders. Because Xia Hai was filial to Li Jin, and the marriage had been decided by Xia Wan’s grandfather, Li Jin only had to say a few words and Xia hai would have no room to object.

In her previous life, when Lu Lin found the Xia family, Xia Wan was not at home. It was Xia Ru and Xia Ye who first saw Lu Lin’s car. At that time, the two of them really wanted to marry him.

However, at that time, Lu Lin only wanted to break off the engagement and didn’t take a fancy to the two village girls, Xia Ru and Xia Ye.

Lu Lin made a scene in the Xia family and demanded they hand over the token, resulting in the marriage being called off.

Seeing how rich Lu Lin was, how could Li Jin let go of this marriage? Therefore, she acted pitifully and rolled on the ground, attracting the attention of many neighbors.

In the end, Lu Lin was afraid of making things worse, so he left. However, he demanded that Li Jin and the others hand over the token within three days. Otherwise, the Xia family would not be able to survive in this town..
