“Father, Mother! The Xia family members are on the way. They should be here soon,” MO Zhu said nervously.

“Didn’t we already say on the phone yesterday that we won’t meet them? Why are they still coming here today? MO Zhu, listen to me. Don’t even think about marrying into the Xia family. I’m doing this for your own good! Don’t disobey me! Even if they come, I won’t open the door for them! You should just give up!” MO Chou said sternly.

MO Zhu was about to retort when Liu Shu hurriedly pulled her to one side and whispered, “Lower your voice and don’t be angry with your father. He has high blood pressure and heart problems. No matter what he says now, you have to be more accommodating to him. He hasn’t been feeling well recently.”

“Then what about me? Am I supposed to just listen to him? I’m my own person. Is it wrong for me to want to marry the person I like?” MO Zhu said with tears in her eyes.

Liu Shu did not know what to say. The truth was that she supported MO Zhu being with Xia Wen, but she was also a mother. She would rather MO Zhu marry into an ordinary family and deal with only trivial household issues every day. She did not want MO Zhu to join the Xia family and have to face so many troublesome issues all the time.

“You’re not in the wrong, but neither is your father. He just wants to protect his daughter as much as he can. You have to understand where he is coming from,” Liu Shu persuaded.

“Then what about me? Who will try and understand how I feel? Anyway, I won’t marry anyone except Xia Wen!” MO Zhu said agitatedly.

“Xia Wen is indeed a good kid. We know that, but we just can’t accept the Xia family. Don’t be angry with us.” After saying that, Liu Shu went off to talk to MO Chou. It certainly did not feel good to be stuck in the middle.

After a lot of effort, the Xia family members finally reached the MO family’s house. It was so quiet inside the house that Xia Wen wondered if there was no one at home.

“Eldest Brother, go and knock on the door! 1… I’m so tired…” Xia He said while panting.

“l…” Xia Wen said hesitantly.

Qiao Mei was so tired that she just wanted to go into the house and have a drink. She walked briskly to the main door of the MO family’s house and knocked before shouting, “Uncle! Auntie! It’s Qiao Mei! I’m here to pay you a visit! ”

MO Chou looked outside and said, “There are so many of them this time round.’

“l even saw Old Mr. Xia Jun outside. Let’s meet them this time. It’s really impolite to let Old Mr. Xia Jun wait outside in the sun,” Liu Shu said.

“Let’s go. We’ll go and welcome them together. Let me tell you! I just can’t bear to see the old master being tired out! It’s not because of that kid Xia Wen!” MO Chou said resignedly.

“Alright, alright! I understand! Let’s go!” Liu Shu urged.

MO Chou opened the main door slowly. All the Xia family members were sweating profusely and looking a little disheveled. MO Chou had thought that they drove the car up to the house like before and did not expect them to have made the journey on foot.

“Why are all of you in such a sorry state? It’s such a hot day and you’re carrying so many things with you. Come into the house for a drink!” Liu Shu said immediately.

“Please come in! Please come in!” MO Chou said in surprise.

When the Xia family members were more rested, everyone looked at one another in silence. No one wanted to be the one to speak first. MO Chou had locked MO Zhu in the backyard earlier. Qiao Mei walked over to Liu Shu and said with a smile, “Auntie, I would like to ask for your help to evaluate an item. I wonder if you can help me take a look?”

“What is it?” Liu Shu asked curiously.

When Qiao Mei opened the box, Liu Shu’s eyes widened. She had a lot of treasures in her collection, but the embroidery in front of her was really a rare piece of work. Be it the embroidery methods, materials or completeness of the design, this was a piece of high-quality work. Even after 100 to 200 years, this wedding dress would still be very valuable.

“Oh my goodness… Where did you get this wedding dress? It’s really a unique piece. This material looks… like it was made recently. Which embroiderer did it? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Liu Shu said carefully as she held up the wedding dress.

“This is the wedding dress I sewed for MO Zhu. I’m the one who embroidered it. 1 hope you like it,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

MO Chou was staring at Qiao Mei with a judgmental look but it changed to a look of admiration now. He knew that Liu Shu was very particular about embroidery. For Liu Shu to ask who the embroiderer was, this piece of work must be extraordinary.

He was not a fool. Qiao Mei and MO Zhu were not friends, not even acquaintances. Qiao Mei was willing to spend time and effort to make a wedding dress for MO Zhu only because of Xia Wen..
