Chapter 705 Come to Meet Her
In the Xia Family’s house in Song City.
Wu Jinxiu brings two people of the Wu Family and sits on the chair in the principal room of the Xia Family.
“Ms. Wu, please wait here. Her Ladyship is coming,” the middle-aged man who met Wu You before is pouring tea for Wu Jinxiu, saying with a smile.
Wu Jinxiu nods her head and looks around, her eyes full of contempt.
“The Xia Family is quite influential in Song City anyway. How come everything looks so tacky?”
The middle-aged man gets a bit awkward and then asks, “Could you tell me what you are unsatisfied with?”
“What kind of tea is this? It contains no aura at all. Besides, your house is too small. And the chair, it is not comfortable. Forget it. Ask Xia Lu to come and meet me. I must see what Wu You’s future wife looks like for him,” Wu Jinxiu snaps.
If the two rogues, Wu You and Wu Li didn’t go out for fun, she wouldn’t be so idle or come to the Xia Family. Yet, she is here anyway. She has heard that Xia Lu seems a bit bad-tempered. In order to avoid trouble tomorrow, she decides to come and find out what Xia Lu looks like first. If Xia Lu is really too arrogant, she can deal Xia Lu a head-on blow in case that she may fail to know chalk from cheese and also piss off Wu You.
The middle-aged man knows this girl is here probably to make trouble.
Yet, somehow, she is from the Wu Family. He doesn’t dare to take her lightly so he can only go to inform Xia Lu first.
Having arrived in Xia Lu’s room, the middle-aged man states what has happened. Xia Lu only responds to him with a snort.
“I won’t meet her.”
Her reply is quite simple.
“Well… Your Ladyship, I’m afraid you have to. Wu Jinxiu seems quite fractious. If you don’t go out to meet her, she may make a farce and tarnish you when she goes back,” the middle-aged man says with a bitter face.
“Oh.” Xia Lu nods and continues reading her book.
The middle-aged man is so depressed that he may vomit blood.
He feels that what has been said is in vain.
Xia Lu doesn’t seem to listen to him!
Well…
Not even a bit!
Xia Lu just doesn’t listen to him at all!
“Your Ladyship, please don’t make things hard for me…”
“Where is Xia Shengtang?” Xia Lu gets a bit impatient and says, “Why don’t you let him deal with her?”
“He has gone out.”
“What has he gone out for?”
“Well…” The middle-aged man feels a bit resigned.
How can Xia Shengtang tell him in advance what he goes out for?
He is only the butler of the Xia Family.
“Uncle An, let my father meet Wu Jinxiu. I’m busy,” after saying that, Xia Lu takes up the book and continues reading.
Uncle An heaves a sigh and leaves.
He knows that Xia Lu dislikes the Wu Family so she can’t cooperate now.
Xia Shengtang is not at home now but luckily, the master of the Xia Family, aka, the father of Xia Lu and Xia Shengtang is still at home.
Hence, he goes to Xia Mu in a hurry.
“Master, Her Ladyship is unwilling to meet Wu Jinxiu.”
Xia Mu is almost 50 years old but he looks like a man who is only 37 or 38 years old. Unfortunately, he has been at the realm of Strength Protection all the time and found no way to enter the realm of Strength Exposure. Gladly, Xia Shengtang is quite capable now. Even if he can never make progress in cultivating, the Xia Family won’t collapse. Perhaps, he is the only cultivator at the realm of Grand Master who is below 30 years old in Huaxia.
At his current age, his cultivation level is high enough to attract the attention of many people. Maybe the Dragon Court will send their people to rope him in.
Therefore, Xia Mu has been extremely gloating now.
He feels that Song City is nothing.
What he wants to do is make the Xia Family an ancient martial arts family not inferior to any first-class school.
Even those first-class schools don’t have a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master.
Maybe yes but very few.
“Why is she so disobedient?” Xia Mu looks a bit unhappy.
This time, when Xia Shengtang came back, he claimed that the Wu Family would come to propose marriage.
This makes Xia Mu quite delighted.
He was thinking about how to make the Xia Family stronger and now, Xia Shengtang gives him the chance.
As long as the Xia Family connects with the Wu Family via marriage, it won’t be difficult for the Xia Family to become a first-class ancient martial arts family in the field of cultivation with the help of the Wu Family. Unexpectedly, Xia Lu turns out to be so resistant.
Yet, Xia Mu doesn’t find it a problem. After all, marriage is always determined by parents.
As long as he reaches an agreement with the Wu Family, there shouldn’t be any problem. Does Xia Lu’s opinion matter?
“Fine. Let me go and have a look,” Xia Mu stands up and says.
In order to thrive, the Xia Family must depend on the Wu Family. Xia Shengtang alone absolutely cannot make it. Moreover, Xia Shengtang always moves in and out with wizardly elusiveness. Even his father has difficulty in finding him, let alone others.
Therefore, Xia Mu believes that they cannot afford to offend the Wu Family.
It is fair enough to say that Xia Lu is not so qualified in terms of the joint marriage between the Xia Family and the Wu Family.
It is true though Xia Lu is also talented in cultivation.
When he gets to the living room, Wu Jinxiu frowns upon seeing him.
“Where is Xia Lu?”
She doesn’t even want to say hi to Xia Mu.
Xia Mu has prepared a lot of pleasantries but now his face suddenly stiffens. From her tone and attitude, she is apparently denouncing him.
Anyhow, Wu Jinxiu is only a junior of the Wu Family while he is Xia Lu’s father. If the two families really get related by marriage, he is kind of Wu Jinxiu’s senior. The way she talks to him makes him rather uncomfortable.
“Ahem. Ms. Wu, this is the master of the Xia Family,” Uncle An hastens to say with a little embarrassment.
Although he has known the people of the Wu Family don’t take the Xia Family seriously, he didn’t expect them to be so defiant.
It can be attributed to the reason that Wu Jinxiu is inexperienced and unruly but don’t the people of the Wu Family realize it? Obviously, they do but they still send Wu Jinxiu to Song City. Evidently, they are not worried about whether Wu Jinxiu’s reckless acts may piss off the Xia Family.
They don’t care at all!
“Master of the Xia Family?” Wu Jinxiu snorts and says, “I said I wanted to meet Xia Lu. Why is the master of the Xia Family here?”
After saying that, she stands up and walks to the door.
“Where is Xia Lu? Since she doesn’t come, I will come to meet her then!” Clearly, she wants to make trouble.
