The next morning, Xia Manor was visited by five people they never expected, because the five people had not communicated with their families for a long time, especially after their first and second sons died. But now suddenly they came to their manor, moreover they also came together with a foreign man.
However, Xia Ling and the others had already guessed their purpose in coming to Xia Manor, and their purpose was Chen Xue.
Xia Ling did not immediately speak to them, and her eyes continued to focus on the unfamiliar man, as he felt a strange aura coming from him, and he could also sense that the man was much stronger than him.
Chen Xue also looked gloomy, and she kept frowning, as her eyes continued to stare at them one by one.
Liu Ying who was sitting beside her understood her feelings very well, she then placed her hand on Chen Xue's, and patted her hand lightly. Chen Xue turned to her, and nodded slightly.
Xia Ning didn't say anything, and she looked at the people with disdain, especially the five people.
Xia Han was not much different from them, he also looked at the five people with disdain and hatred. Even though they were also his family, but he was never close to them, especially after his father died. His reason was simple, because they kept insisting on remarrying his mother to another man, and they did that to raise their family status.
Those five people are none other than Chen Family, Chen Feng deliberately came with his son and three elders. Besides, they also came with the man who was none other than Gui Mo.
Gui Mo narrowed his eyes, he looked at Chen Xue, Liu Ying, and Xia Ning in turn. As he inwardly muttered. 'Heh, not only Chen Xue, but those two women are amazing, it would be great if I also capture them to be my furnaces.'
"Why did you all come here so early?" Chen Xue finally spoke, and her tone was clearly filled with hatred.
'
Chen Feng sighed softly, then said. "How long are you going to be like this, Xue'er? Your husband is long dead, and you are still very young, so it's time for you to move on with your life."
"What father said is true, Sister. You have served this Xia family for too long, and I think that is enough, you still have the right to seek your other happiness." Chen Guan added.
Xia Ling, Liu Ying, and Xia Ning raised their eyebrows. It was true that Chen Xue was still very young, and she still deserved another happiness.
However, Chen Xue felt that it was unnecessary, and she would rather continue her life as the daughter-in-law of the Xia family. So they accepted Chen Xue's decision happily, and they never forced her.
But it was different for the Chen Family, because Chen Xue was the only daughter in the Chen family. Even though she already had two grown children, she was still very beautiful and young, and many people were crazy about her beauty. So Chen Feng wanted Chen Xue to return to their family, he wanted to marry her off or rather sacrifice her, it was because he had already promised Gui Mo to hand Chen Xue over to him.
Chen Xue shook her head at them, and coldly replied. "I have told you many times, I will never return to the Chen Family, and I will live as the daughter-in-law of the Xia family until I die."
"You shouldn't have forced my mother." Xia Han finally joined in, as he felt irritated and angry at his mother's family attitude. "If you guys really love and care about my mother, then you should accept her decision. Unless, you guys want to use my mother for your own benefit."
"Who told you to talk? You young people don't deserve to talk here." Another middle-aged man scolded Xia Han, then he sneered. "The Xia branch family simply can't educate their younger generation."
"Watch your words, Chen Hui!" Xia Ling said with a frown, as he released his aura to suppress him, and it made Chen Hui shudder. "If you dare speak disrespectfully about our family one more time, then I will definitely kill you outright."
Chen Feng and the others were also shuddered by Xia Ling's threat. Even though their Chen family was bigger than the Xia Manor family, but they were aware that Xia Ling was much stronger than them, he was even the strongest General in the Zhu Kingdom.
"Xia Ling-" Chen Feng was about to say to Xia Ling, but suddenly someone spoke from outside the main hall.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
"Oh? Why are you guys gathered here?"
They all turned towards the exit of the main hall, and they saw Xia Tian walking hand in hand with Xia Xing. After he used his Void Breaking Steps few times, they finally arrived at Xia Manor. But when they arrived, Xia Tian could sense Xia Ling's aura, so he immediately pulled Xia Xing to go to the main hall.
Xia Xing instantly frowned when she saw those people, and her anger instantly overflowed. But just as she was about to erupt, Xia Tian hugged her waist directly, and shook his head.
Xia Tian glanced at Gui Mo briefly, his lips curled up after he recognized him. He paid no heed to the people from Chen Family, and then said to Liu Ying. "Uncle Murong has agreed to cooperate with us, Mom. I've given him a list of all the ingredients you need for your alchemy, and he will send them all here once everything is ready."
Those people frowned upon hearing Xia Tian's words, but then they sneered at him in their hearts, and they thought that he was deliberately boasting in front of them. In their opinion, there was no way Murong Feiyan would be willing to cooperate with a branch family like them.
Unlike the reactions of those people, Liu Ying and the others who were in a bad mood due to their visit, they instantly became excited upon hearing that. Liu Ying then asked her son. "Did you manage to fulfill Mengxin's request, Tian?"
"Of course! They will come here in a week, and Uncle Murong himself will announce our cooperation by then." Xia Tian deliberately spoke loudly to provoke those people.
Because they were no different from the Liu family, and they also had ulterior motives for suddenly coming to Xia Manor, because they had never set foot in his family manor, especially after his father and uncle died.
Liu Ying and the others smiled happily, because their cooperation with Murong Feiyan would slightly elevate their family status. Xia Ling then praised Xia Tian loudly. "Good... Good... Good... Little Tian is indeed reliable now, unlike the cowardly young master who only hides behind his seniors."
Xia Tian chuckled seeing his grandfather following his game, he then turned to those people and asked them. "So what's your purpose in coming here, after breaking up with us for so long?"
