Chapter 705: Chapter 705: A Piece of Sincerity_1 Chapter 705: Chapter 705: A Piece of Sincerity_1 Many people were sitting in the living room, roughly divided into two rows.
On the left row were Xu Xuanqiang, his brother Xu Xuanzuo, and several Elders from the Xu Family, in short, the upper echelons of the Xu Family were all present.
At that mont, Xu Xuanqiang and Xu Xuanzuo both had smiles plastered on their faces as if they had stumbled upon a trendous joyous occasion.
On the right row were people from the Ma Family.
The leading figure of the Ma Family was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, possessing the air of a refined gentleman who seed easy to get along with.
However, only those who truly knew him understood that he was a tiger with a smile, capable of greeting you with warmth even after he had stabbed you seventeen or eighteen tis.
This was none other than the Head of the Ma Family, Ma Yitai.
...
Seated next to Ma Yitai was the Ma Family’s Second Elder, Ma Yizuo.
This individual had a sullen appearance with high brows and a towering nose, his smile carried a sinister edge.
Another person was a man in his twenties, with hollow cheeks and an unhealthy pallor on his face.
Despite being dressed in a suit, the tuft of yellow hair on his head clashed starkly with his attire.
Particularly his deanor, which was that of an arrogant and spoiled child, his seated posture was sloppy and impatience filled his eyes.
This was the protagonist of the day, the young master of the Ma Family, Li Keyou.
Beyond these three key mbers of the Ma Family were an old man and a youth.
The elder had hair white as a crane’s but a youthful complexion, wearing a light blue robe with raised temples, indicating a remarkable level of cultivation.
Ever since he had taken his seat, he hadn’t spoken a word, remaining in ditation with eyes closed.
Yet no one dared underestimate him, particularly Xu Xuanyi, whose gaze towards the man was always filled with wariness.
The younger man, who looked to be in his thirties, was clad in brown martial attire; his face was marked by indifference, and he too remained silent.
Behind him stood a Long Spear, its shaft driven into the ground; a re glance conveyed a bone-chilling presence.
After these mbers of the Ma Family had arrived, they didn’t go straight into discussing matters but engaged in small talk, speaking about trivial household affairs.
However, Xu Xuanyi clearly understood that the people from the Ma Family had not co here to chat about dostic matters.
Sure enough, after a short while, Ma Yitai, while sipping tea, shot a glance at Shi You.
Shi You naturally understood what Ma Yitai ant; his face broke into a smile as he stood up, first giving Xu Xuanyi a bow of his hands before speaking in an unhurried manner, “Uncle Xu, I’m sure you’re aware of the purpose of our visit today.
It concerns Miss Xu.
Ever since I caught sight of Miss Xu several years ago, it was love at first sight for , and she has been in my thoughts day and night, never forgotten.
Unfortunately, last ti due to an unforeseen incident, the budding romance between us was not fulfilled.”
“Therefore, I have co today with utmost sincerity, hoping Uncle Xu will bless the union between Miss Xu and myself.”
Having said that, Ma Shi You bowed his hands again.
Before Xu Xuanyi could speak, Xu Xuanqiang took the initiative, laughing as he said, “I must say, nephew Shi You really has extraordinary taste.
You should know that Fei’er is the most outstanding woman of our Xu family not only blessed with both beauty and brains but also possessing a great business talent.
At such a young age, she has already carved out a trendously impressive career for herself.
Given more ti, I believe she can achieve even greater things.”
Ma Shi You nodded, smiling in agreent as he said, “Indeed, it is Miss Xu’s combination of talent and beauty that has made fall for her hopelessly.”
Ma Yitai set down his teacup, his gaze drifting to Xu Xuanyi as he smiled and asked, “I wonder what Brother Xu thinks of this proposal?
I know that Xu Yixue has always been the apple of Brother Xu’s eye, but Shi You is not unworthy either; he is the future heir of our Ma family.
If they were to co together, with such a talented young man and a beautiful young woman, it would surely beco a celebrated match.
More importantly, it’s not only a happy occasion for them but also a beneficial alliance for both our families.”
“Additionally, I have been planning to send Shi You to Zhonghai soon to expand our market there.
Once Shi You is there, it will be the perfect opportunity for the younger generation to get to know each other better and deepen their feelings.”
Having said this, Ma Yitai paused, smiling as he awaited Xu Xuanyi’s response.
“I think this is very good.”
Xu Xuanzuo then spoke up, his eyes burning with eagerness as he looked at Xu Xuanyi and persuaded, “This is indeed a joyful event.
Ɲ0νǥο.сο
The two young people are a match made in heaven, and if they were together, it would not only be beneficial for their own developnt but also for the prosperity of both our families.
With the Xu family and the Ma family joining forces, wouldn’t Shenzhen City practically beco our shared dominion?”
Although Xu Xuanqiang remained silent for the mont, it was clear from his expression that he too approved of the matter.
It wasn’t just Xu Xuanqiang and Xu Xuanzuo.
Even the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Xu family nodded their heads with smiling faces, likewise showing approval.
However, the Grand Elder frowned with worry in his eyes, seemingly not very approving.
Xu Xuanyi took a deep breath and bowed to Ma Yitai, chuckling as he said, “First of all, I thank Brother Ma for holding Yixue in such high regard and also thank nephew Shi You for his genuine affection for her.”
Upon hearing Xu Xuanyi’s tone, Ma Yitai, Xu Xuanzuo, and the others instantly turned gloomy.
Ma Shi You, however, had still not understood the subtext of Xu Xuanyi’s words, and remained cheerful, even bowing to Xu Xuanyi in return.
As expected, Xu Xuanyi’s tone suddenly changed as he shook his head and sighed, “Although the mbers of the Ma family are very fond of my daughter, unfortunately, Yixue is not fortunate enough to accept this blessing.
Ah, to speak frankly and without fear of being laughed at by Brother Ma and the others, my daughter has not yet married, but she already has a child.”
“Nephew Shi You is yet to marry and have children.
If he were to take my daughter as his wife now, wouldn’t that be too much of a burden for him?
Besides, there are plenty of good won in the world; nephew Shi You can certainly find another suitable partner.”
Ma Yitai furrowed his brows, but he quickly suppressed his displeasure and resud smiling, looking sincerely at Xu Xuanyi as he earnestly said,
“I think Brother Xu’s words are not quite right.
In the past, Miss Xu was young and naive, which led to so mistakes, but surely these shouldn’t deprive her of happiness for the rest of her life?
Miss Xu is still young, at the most splendid stage of her life.”
He paused, then added bluntly, “To say sothing unpleasant, if Miss Xu doesn’t marry now, it might beco even harder for her to marry in the future.
