Chapter 2107: Break off the Wedding Arrangement

Not long after, everyone got off work and came back. After dinner, the entire family gathered in the living room to discuss the issue of Xia Yuan’s marriage. They all looked at Xia Yuan curiously. Everyone was very concerned about the fact that he already met a girl he liked.
“Actually, the two of us haven’t even talked about marriage yet. Her name is Zhou Xi and she’s my university classmate. She works in a bank now and she comes from an ordinary family. Her parents are both bank employees,” Xia Yuan said softly.
“That’s not too bad. The most important thing is that you like her. Have you confessed your feelings for her? When are you going to bring her back for us to take a look? Let’s quickly settle the wedding arrangements! It’s best if you can get married within the next three months!” Xia You said happily.
“Stop it! Your younger brother hasn’t even said anything yet!” Lu Huai said helplessly as he held on to the excited Xia You.
“Can’t you tell how anxious I am? It’s such a rare thing to hear that Xia Yuan has met someone he likes. I’m really too excited! I’ve always wanted Xia Yuan to get married and have children as soon as possible!” Xia You said.
“Son, if you really like her a lot, then think about whether you want to marry her. We can propose marriage to her family first. As for the wedding ceremony, we can talk about it later. We’ve all heard about what happened at your workplace. This is the fastest and best solution for the problem at the moment,” Liu Fen said.
After pondering for a long time, Xia Yuan looked at everyone and said seriously, “I’m sorry, I can’t do it this way. I don’t want to force Zhou Xi to make this decision. She might not be ready to marry me yet. As for the wedding arrangement which Grandfather had agreed to, in the worst case scenario, I’ll go to meet that family and break it off myself! I believe they will understand my reason for doing so!”
Both Qiao Mei and Xia Wen looked at Xia Yuan approvingly. The way he handled this issue was straightforward and responsible. This was how a man should conduct himself.
“Alright, everyone. You can relax. I’m now clear about what’s going on. I’ll go and talk to Grandfather about your issue,” Xia Wen said with a smile.
“Perhaps I should go instead. Grandfather will definitely fly into a rage,” Xia Yu frowned and said fearfully. After all, this was the Xia family’s second son’s family issue and they should not let Xia Wen get involved.
“I’ll bring Xia Sun with me. Grandfather will be in a better mood when he sees the baby. You should also bring your child to meet Grandfather. Have you decided on the name yet?” Xia Wen asked.
“Yes. Xia Xue,” Xia Yu said.
Xia Yao had called home to tell them about this name. He had thought of many names, but was not very satisfied with any of them. This child was born on a snowy day, so Xia Xue seemed like the most suitable name! It was also easy to remember! The child’s nickname could then be Snowflake.
Xia Jun was not a stick-in-the-mud who would sacrifice Xia Yuan’s happiness for the sake of his own reputation. He personally made a call to the Luo family to explain the issue to them and the Luo family expressed that they could understand the Xia family’s reason for doing this. However, Luo Zhen did not want to let Xia Yuan go just like that.
“Grandpa! How can you agree to the Xia family’s request! Everyone knows about Xia Yuan and I! Now that the Xia family does not want to go ahead with the marriage, how am I supposed to face people outside! How can I continue to stay in the capital!” Luo Zhen said angrily.
“The Xia family has said that it’s all their fault. You can just do whatever you want in the future. There are so many nice boys in the world. Why are you so insistent on entering the Xia family?” Old Master Luo said.
In fact, Old Master Luo did not want to have a marriage alliance with the Xia family at all. The Xia family was doing extremely well and many people wanted to become related to the Xia family somehow, but not him. He could remember when Qiao Qiang and Liang Shu got married. No family in the capital could match up with the Liang family then, but everyone knew how that marriage ended up.
The more powerful the Xia family was, the more dangerous it would be to be part of the family. The Luo family had always tried their best not to participate in all these tussles and just live their own lives well.
“Grandpa! You were the one who agreed to the marriage arrangement back then! How can you do this to me now!” Luo Zhen roared.
“How can you talk to Grandpa in this manner! You’re the one who can’t get Xia Yuan to like you, so don’t vent your anger on us,” Luo Zhen’s elder sister, Luo Zhu, said disdainfully.
“You’ve married well, so of course you don’t feel anything! You didn’t look like this when you just married into the Zhong family!” Luo Zhen said angrily.
“I’m your biological elder sister! Don’t ruin our harmony because of a man!” Luo Zhu said.
