Yang Shaihai was quite pleased to hear how capable Lu Fan was. Lu Fan's medical skills would be of great benefit to him, at least providing him with a foothold in society.
Elder Han was shocked but dared not linger. He had looked down on Lu Fan during their time in the room, and now Lu Fan certainly wouldn't pay him any mind.
After lunch, Lu Fan went to his maternal grandmother's room again. Gazing at her peaceful face, Lu Fan's own expression grew calm.
So many years had passed, and it could be considered fate for them to be reunited with family now.
"Xiao Fan, since you've just arrived in Donghai City, why don't I take you around?" Yang Shiyun said with a smile. "Your grandmother will be taken care of by your father here!"
"I want to stay by my maternal grandmother's side until she wakes up!" Lu Fan chuckled. "After so many years without seeing you all, I actually feel a bit guilty. After all, the Lu family's annihilation was a disaster, and it implicated the Yang family!"
"Xiao Fan, you must not speak like that in the future!" Yang Shaihai interjected. "Whether it's the Lu family or the Yang family, we are all connected by blood. This was not a disaster that befell the Lu family without reason!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, naturally understanding what Yang Shaihai had said.
However, at this very moment, several cars arrived outside the Yang family's main gate, the leading one being exceptionally luxurious.
"Young Master, we have arrived at the Yang family!"
An elder said with a smile, "Shall we go and announce ourselves to have them come out to greet us?"
"No need. Today we are here to propose marriage, so why should the father-in-law personally welcome us!"
Xia Junwen waved his hand. "You all carry the gifts and follow me inside!"
Everyone nodded, not daring to show any disrespect. Xia Junwen was from the Xia family in Donghai City, possessing considerable prestige there, and even a notable reputation throughout the entire Dragon Country.
He even had connections with martial artists, which allowed him to thrive, making him the "national husband" of Donghai City.
Not long after, they appeared within the Yang family mansion, coincidentally running into Yang Shaihai and the others.
"Xia Junwen, what are you doing here?"
Yang Shiyun was slightly surprised. Xia Junwen was her university classmate and a former suitor. However, Yang Shiyun had not agreed to his advances. Still, the Xia family's influence in Donghai City was significant, and she dared not offend him easily.
"I have come to the Yang family today specifically to propose marriage!" Xia Junwen stated. "Shiyun, you should know that I have admired you for a long time, and we were classmates. We will surely be happy together!"
"Xia Junwen, what is the meaning of this? Didn't I tell you before that I have no interest in you?"
Yang Shiyun frowned. "How could you come to my house without my consent!"
Yang Shaihai also frowned. Looking at the boxes of gifts, he could tell that Xia Junwen was determined this time, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so thorough.
"Uncle Yang, I am here today representing the Xia family!"
Xia Junwen said directly. "After all, the Xia family holds some status in Donghai City. I hope Uncle Yang can fulfill my wish, and also fulfill the wishes of our two great families!"
Yang Shiyun's face turned ashen. Xia Junwen making arrangements here without her consent was something she could not accept.
"Young Master Xia, you are the 'national husband' of all of Donghai City. For someone like you, it would be an honor for any family to have you!" Yang Shaihai said with a smile. "However, my Shiyun perhaps..."
"Uncle Yang, don't rush to refuse. The Yang family's achievements in Donghai City cannot be separated from the Xia family. If this marriage talks fail, the Xia family will no longer cooperate with the Yang family!" Xia Junwen stated directly. "I hope Uncle Yang will consider this carefully!"
Yang Shaihai's face instantly turned ashen. In recent years, the Yang family had cooperated closely with the Xia family, a mutually beneficial arrangement. However, he never expected Xia Junwen to threaten him with this matter. Under such circumstances, he truly dared not offend him too much, or it would be a disaster for the Yang family.
"Xia Junwen, isn't what you're doing too much!"
Yang Shiyun frowned. "You haven't considered my feelings at all. You don't care about me, so why should I marry you?"
"There is no woman that I, Xia Junwen, want that I cannot obtain!"
Xia Junwen said coldly. "I pursued you many times before and was rejected. Now, I can only use this method. After all, only in this way can you be forced to comply!"
"Young Master Xia, has your grandfather permitted such actions?" Yang Shaihai asked directly. "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by your words alone!" Su Dan Novel Network
"This is simply laughable!"
Xia Junwen sneered. "I am now the person in charge of the Xia family, and my grandfather controls things from behind the scenes. He will support any decision I make. I hope Uncle Yang does not challenge my bottom line!"
Yang Shaihai frowned, unsure of what to do. He did not want to force Yang Shiyun to do something she didn't want to do. Moreover, this matter was not trivial. If the two great families were to form an alliance through marriage, the Yang family might very well be annexed, which was his greatest concern.
"Xia Junwen, just give up on this idea!"
Yang Shiyun said directly. "I will not marry you. Even if your Xia family is immensely wealthy, I will not care. Moreover, do you think I am such a weak person to be forced into marriage by you?"
"Shiyun, you must understand one thing: my feelings for you are sincere!" Xia Junwen said directly. "With my Xia family's vast fortune, if you marry me, what will you have to worry about in the future!"
"Liking someone is not just about saying it. I will not marry you under such pressure!" Yang Shiyun stated directly. "You should just give up on this idea!"
"If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Xia Junwen sneered. "There is nothing I want that I cannot get. If you are unwilling to marry me, the Xia family will never show mercy in the future. At that time, the Yang family will be forced to leave Donghai City!"
"Young Master Xia, please do not be hasty!"
Yang Shaihai said with a fawning smile. "Let me try to persuade her first. Give us a few more days, and we will definitely give Young Master Xia a satisfactory answer!"
"Three days. If you do not agree within three days, the cooperation between the Yang and Xia families will be terminated, and the Xia family will definitely force the Yang family out of Donghai City!"
Xia Junwen said with a cold face. "You should know that my Xia family has the ability to do so!"
"Of course, we know!" Yang Shaihai nodded. "We will give you a satisfactory answer within three days!"
"What happened?"
Lu Fan walked over, glancing at Xia Junwen with a hint of displeasure in his expression.
"It's nothing!" Yang Shiyun said with a smile. "You go into the room first, we will handle these matters."
"If you need any help, Sister Shiyun, please don't hesitate!"
Lu Fan said with a smile. "As long as I am here, no one will be allowed to bully you!"
