"I …"
Looking at her grandfather, whose face instantly became solemn, He Xue's face was even more difficult than before. She knew that her grandfather was forcing her to give an answer.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, you're not young anymore. Everyone hopes that you can get married and have a happy family."
Second Uncle persuaded her with a smile.
"Xiaoxue, everyone knows that you're very capable, but you can't not get married just because you're capable. Our whole family is looking forward to your wedding banquet."
"Of course, you have to get married. After all, it's been arranged for a long time, so it doesn't matter if it's early or late. Now that your age is just right, you should take this opportunity to get married."
"That's right. What's wrong with getting married? After getting married, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to be so tired anymore. You can have whatever you want. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Xiao Xue, listen to your grandfather. Take advantage of your return this time to get married!"
The whole family stood up one by one to persuade her. They all looked like gossipy women, which didn't match the graceful and luxurious clothes they were wearing at all.
"Hiss …"
Those irritating words came one after another, making He Xue feel as if her head was swelling. It was a kind of unbearable pain that made her feel like she was about to collapse.
"Xiaoxue!"
Her grandfather, who had been staring at He Xue, saw the painful expression on her face.
Not only did he not feel the slightest pity, but his face darkened and he asked.
"I've decided."
Closing her eyes, He Xue gritted her teeth and then opened her eyes as if she had thought it through. The painful expression on her face disappeared and was replaced by a look of indifference.
Glancing at everyone, He Xue's eyes finally fell on the old man. She said, "Break off the engagement!"
As soon as she said that.
Everyone in the audience was silent.
They were all stunned on the spot, looking at He Xue with deep confusion in their eyes.
There was …
Carving.
"Nonsense!"
Second Uncle suddenly stood up and shouted with an agitated face, "Do you think you can break off the engagement that has been set for a long time?"
"Xiaoxue, are you kidding? Break off the engagement? What do you want to do with our He Family? "
"He Xue, you're not a child now. You know the seriousness of this matter. I advise you to take back what you said just now. We can pretend that you didn't say it!"
"You can't joke about this kind of thing. How can you affect our entire family just for yourself?"
All of a sudden.
All the relatives and friends present were furious. Each of them rebuked He Xue angrily as if they were teaching their own children a lesson.
It was as if He Xue was letting them down and the whole family down if she didn't get married.
"Don't say anymore."
He Xue suddenly opened her mouth and shouted, "Whether I get married or not is my own business. I will decide my own business!"
"Nonsense!"
On the main seat, the old man with a gloomy face also angrily rebuked He Xue, "Do you know who he is?"
"That's the Tree Shade Bamboo Family!"
"Let me tell you, the Zhu Family was able to completely occupy the entire Tree Shade area, not only because of their family's industry and financial resources, but also because of their family's strength. Behind this real world, there is a world that you can't see at all. The strength of that world is the most real. Only by marrying the Zhu Family can our family go further. Not only financial resources, but also overall strength. Do you understand?"
Hearing that.
"Grandpa."
He Xue looked at the old man with a blank expression and said, "I came back to celebrate your birthday. I didn't have to come back."
"Since you're back, you're a member of this family. You have to think about this family!"
The old man snorted.
"I'm leaving."
He Xue shook her head and said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will never implicate the He Family, nor will I touch any of the family's property. I will leave with nothing, and I won't get married!"
"Take care."
After that.
He Xue turned to leave.
Seeing that the situation was bad.
"Hmph!"
Second Uncle, who was standing in front of the table, snorted discontentedly and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
As a result.
After the phone call.
When He Xue walked to the gate of the siheyuan.
"Pitter-patter …"
Outside the door, there was a sound of footsteps.
She looked up.
Seven or eight burly bodyguards in black suits quickly ran over and directly blocked the door.
"Hmph, you're back, and you still want to leave?"
Second Uncle sneered and said, "Xiao Xue, you'd better be obedient and prepare to get married!"
In front of the gate.
"Get out of the way."
He Xue looked at the seven or eight people and said indifferently, "I'll call the police!"
"Will the police come?"
Second Uncle shouted from afar, "Do you think it's useful to call the police?"
He Xue's face sank.
The He Family wasn't a big family in the capital, but it wouldn't take too much effort to do something to cover up.
He Xue also knew that the He Family was nothing compared to the famous Zhan Family and Qian Family in the capital. Because the Zhan Family and Qian Family were also one of the top families in the martial arts world, while the He Family had nothing to do with the martial arts world. Therefore, her grandfather didn't hesitate to sell her out to marry the Green Shade Bamboo Family in the martial arts world.
Being in such a family, she certainly knew the existence of the martial arts world, but she didn't know much about it.
Plus.
She was originally a very independent woman and didn't like to be controlled by others. So she had always been very opposed to this kind of marriage. But she didn't expect that after being away from home for so long, her family still hadn't given up the idea. She put everything aside and came back, only to encounter the kind of experience that made her particularly painful before.
Thinking about it, He Xue's eyes turned red.
She was hurt and angry!
"Get out of the way."
Completely ignoring Second Uncle and other relatives who were looking at her with a sneer, He Xue walked directly to the bodyguard blocking the door and shouted.
The bodyguard was unmoved.
"Grab her for me, don't hurt her!"
Second Uncle sneered and ordered.
Hearing that.
The bodyguards immediately acted.
But the next moment.
"Clap, clap, clap …"
There was a sound of hitting.
In the siheyuan. Everyone was stunned.
They saw that.
He Xue actually took action before the bodyguards, as if she had put on a sweatshirt and flat shoes just to prevent this moment.
The most shocking thing was.
Those seven or eight bodyguards were no match for He Xue at all. In the fierce confrontation, they were all knocked down by He Xue.
When all the bodyguards fell to the ground, everyone in the siheyuan was so shocked that their eyes widened and their mouths were wide open, unable to say anything.
And here.
After knocking down the bodyguards, He Xue paused at the door for a second and then stepped away without looking back.
In the siheyuan.
"Clap."
The old man slammed his palm on the table. It was a loud and heavy slap!
…
Her eyes were red, and tears were pouring out uncontrollably.
In the taxi.
He Xue bit her lower lip tightly and kept wiping the seemingly endless tears at the corners of her eyes with a poker face. She kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Without any hesitation.
After arriving at the airport, He Xue directly bought a ticket and flew back to Beijiang overnight.
It seemed that in that place, she could be free and feel a trace of warmth, even if that place was very empty and not as lively as the siheyuan.
…
The next morning.
In the cultivation base in Beijiang.
"Woo …"
Fang Qiu returned from the desert.
In the past two days, he ran into the desert and closed himself for a short time.
"Sure enough, as the old master said, I need to settle down."
As he returned to the base, Fang Qiu sighed with emotion.
After these two days of small closed-door training, his strength had improved a little.
In fact.
Judging from Fang Qiu's current situation, it was very difficult for others to break through to the Guru Realm, but it was not difficult for him at all. He could break through at any time if he wanted. But now was not the time. He had to continue to settle down and refine all his strength.
Back at the cultivation base.
Fang Qiu happened to see He Xue coming out of the room.
"Hey, you're back so soon?"
Seeing He Xue, Fang Qiu was stunned.
"Yes."
He Xue nodded.
"I see that you don't look well. Did something happen?"
Fang Qiu came up and asked.
"I'm fine."
He Xue shook her head and said, "I want to discuss the dendrobium with you. The dendrobium in Nanjiang has been successfully cultivated. Next, you should give me the prescription, right?"
"Okay."
Fang Qiu nodded and said, "I'll write the prescription right away."
After that.
He stared at He Xue carefully again and asked, "Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine."
He Xue smiled slightly.
Inexplicably, when she heard Fang Qiu's concerned voice, there was a trace of warmth in her heart that had been hurt and cold.
"It's good that you're fine."
Fang Qiu nodded and said, "I'm going to write the prescription."
After that.
He turned back to the office, took out a pen and paper, and then immediately closed his eyes and began to search for dendrobium in the dense ancient prescriptions in his memory.
In the end, Fang Qiu wrote three prescriptions.
He sent them to He Xue's office next door.
"All right."
Fang Qiu walked to He Xue's desk and handed the prescriptions to her. He was about to explain the three prescriptions to her.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
He Xue's cell phone suddenly rang.
"I'm sorry."
He Xue glanced at Fang Qiu awkwardly, then took out her cell phone and answered the call.
"Xue, come back quickly. You left yesterday and made your grandfather so angry that he couldn't get up. He's seriously ill."
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What?"
When He Xue heard this, she immediately panicked.
"Anyway, come back quickly. I don't know if I can see him for the last time."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became quiet and then hung up.
This time, He Xue was frightened.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Qiu saw that He Xue's expression was not right and asked hurriedly.
"My grandfather is seriously ill. I want to ask for leave to go back to the capital."
He Xue said anxiously.
"I'll go with you."
Fang Qiu said, "You know my medical skills are good. Maybe there's a way."
"I don't know what's going on for the time being."
He Xue shook her head and said, "I'll go back first. If there's really a problem, I'll call you again. I still need you to take charge of the company. Wait until I get to the capital."
She was a little flustered just now, but now she calmed down a little. She felt that there was something strange about this matter, but no matter what, she would solve the problem completely when she went home this time.
"Okay."
