Looking at Mother Xie, Mother He said, "Sister-in-law, it was your family who wanted this marriage and promised us that you would treat my daughter well. But from what I see, your son doesn’t like my daughter at all."
Hearing this, Mother Xie tried to explain, "Sister-in-law, it’s a misunderstanding. Ah Zi, he—"
Before she could finish, Mother He interrupted her. "Sister-in-law, although my daughter is 20 years old, she is beautiful, talented, and comes from a good family."
"Compared to your 27-year-old son, my daughter is in a much better position. I see no reason for him to treat us so rudely. Since your son doesn’t like my daughter, let’s forget about this marriage. There are many people who want to marry my daughter."
After finishing her words, she pulled her daughter and said, "Ling’er, let’s go."
Being pulled by her mother, He Ling was stunned. Didn’t they agree to let her marry him? Why had her mother suddenly changed her mind?
Seeing them leave, Mother Xie quickly chased after them while saying, "Sister-in-law, please wait."
Hearing this, Mother He didn’t stop. Instead, she hastened her steps. Although the Xie family was renowned in the medical field, the He family was just as influential, with members in politics, the military, and research.
She wouldn’t lower her stance just because her daughter liked Xie Xuanzi. If he wanted to marry her daughter, the Xie family had to show sincerity. Otherwise, they could forget about it.
With this thought, Mother He finally stopped, turned to look at Mother Xie, and took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Sister-in-law, if your family still wants this marriage, let your son visit my family and apologize to my daughter personally. Otherwise, we can forget about it."
After she finished her words, she opened the car door, pushed her daughter inside, and climbed in herself. The moment the door closed, the driver quickly drove the car.
Standing at the entrance, Mother Xie slapped her thigh and scolded her son angrily, "One day, I will die of anger because of that brat!"
Unlike his mother, who was beating her chest and stomping her feet in anger, Xie Xuanzi had already pushed the matter regarding He Ling to the back of his mind.
When he returned to his office, he placed the package on his table and opened it. Seeing the jars and a letter inside, his eyes instantly lit up.
He had learned from his uncle about the wound ointment made by the Li family’s third daughter-in-law. He had also tested it himself, as the ointment given by Xiao Yiguan was actually made by her. Therefore, he knew exactly how good her wound ointment was.
Before leaving Xie village, he had discussed with his uncle the possibility of securing a stable supply. He hadn’t expected his uncle to send so many over in just two days.
