Xia Liangdong walked to Xia Yangyang’s side, held Xia Yangyang’s hand and asked, “Yangyang, how could you not inform your father about such a significant matter?”

Xia Yangyang responded, “There’s nothing much to tell. It was just a breakup, it happened and it’s over.”

Although Yangyang said so, Xia Liangdong understood his daughter’s temperament too well.

These two children, who were childhood sweethearts, had been deeply in love. The Xia and Lu Families had long regarded each other as future family. Unexpectedly, such things would happen.

Xia Liangdong sat next to Xia Yangyang and said, “Now that things have reached this point, there is no need to mend this relationship. It’s good that it ended. You have been a scholar since your youth. That kid Haotian has always been a layabout. He is not worthy of you. The man who can marry my precious daughter will certainly be the best man in this world.”

With that, Xia Liangdong took out an invitation from his pocket and said, “This is an invitation to Gu Shengyuan’s 70th birthday banquet. All the major families in Feng City have received an invitation, with specific instructions for each family to bring along their eligible young woman. Clearly, it’s a matchmaking event for the crown prince of the Gu Family, Gu Qichen. Each family only has one spot for a female participant, and I plan to bring you along.”

Xia Yangyang did not expect to hear Gu Qichen’s name at home.

If Xia Liangdong knew that she was secretly married to the Crown Prince he was talking about, she didn’t know how he would react.

But Xia Yangyang chose not to say anything.

Xia Liangdong put the invitation in Xia Yangyang’s hand and told her, “Yangyang, I know that I have neglected you in this family, but always remember that in my heart, I will always love you the most.”

If Xia Yangyang were still a child, she would definitely believe him.

But now, she could only lower her head and lukewarmly said, “I know.”

Seeing Xia Yangyang’s manner, Xia Liangdong sighed and left.

Xia Yangyang held the invitation in her hand and stared at it blankly.

Was the Gu Family planning to have an open matchmaking event for Gu Qichen?

Xia Yangyang looked at the date of the invitation. It turned out that Gu Shengyuan’s birthday was a week from now, but Xia Yangyang had never heard Gu Qichen mention this.

Unexpectedly, she felt a bit lost. But then again, even if Gu Qichen told her about it, what’s the point? They were secretly married. Gu Qichen would not really bring her back to his family.

Sometimes, when Xia Yangyang was lost in her thoughts, she felt her marriage to Gu Qichen was just a farce.

Just when Xia Yangyang was indulging in her wild thoughts, the door was pushed open. Xia Weiwei strutted in arrogantly.

Xia Yangyang frowned: “What are you doing here?”

Xia Weiwei didn’t beat around the bush, “I heard everything that dad just told you. Xia Yangyang, the idea that you have a chance with Gu Qichen is simply ludicrous. Hand over the invitation to me.”

Xia Yangyang was undecided whether to attend this event, but seeing how Xia Weiwei behaved, she didn’t want to give it up.

So she directly hid the invitation behind her back, saying: “Xia Weiwei, you’re still underage, are you planning to go on a matchmaking date?”

Xia Weiwei said, “I’m turning 18 in two months. Even if I’m underage, I still have a higher chance of becoming Mrs. Gu than you. Haotian doesn’t even want you, Young Master Gu probably doesn’t even see you. Stop your daydreaming; it would be better to give me the invitation. At least there will still be a glimmer of hope for the Xia family to marry into the wealthy Gu family of Nan City.”

Xia Yangyang indifferently said, “Please leave. I won’t give you the invitation.”

Xia Weiwei realized that her words were useless, so she intended to snatch it directly. She forcibly pressed Xia Yangyang on the bed to seize the invitation from her hand.

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Xia Weiwei to be so presumptuous. She used a grappling technique, directly pressing Xia Weiwei’s hand onto the bed.

She had been practicing taekwondo since she was little and had already achieved the Fifth Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo.

Xia Weiwei cried out because of the pain in her wrist, “Xia Yangyang, how dare you do this to me?! I am telling dad. Let go of me.”

Xia Yangyang released Xia Weiwei: “Go ahead and tell him, I don’t care.”

With frustration written all over her face, Xia Weiwei knew of Xia Yangyang’s fighting prowess. On regular days she would just pick a verbal fight.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a hickey on Xia Yangyang’s neck.
