“This gift is really too valuable! Our family can’t accept it!” Liu Shu said immediately.

“This is a token from our Xia family. I hope Auntie can accept it on behalf of MO Zhu. I also brought a few pieces of calligraphy and paintings for Uncle. I don’t really understand these things, so I hope Uncle can help me take a look at them.” Qiao Mei took out the calligraphy and paintings from the box and went over to MO Chou.

MO Chou looked away, not wanting to look at them. Xia He and Qiao Mei continued to unfold calligraphy and paintings. He spotted a particular signature from the corner of his eye and could not take his eyes off it after that.

“This artist has long retired. Some years ago, there was a big fire at his house and many paintings were lost. There are very few pieces of his works left. How did you manage to get them?” MO Chou asked.

“I just happened to come across them. I don’t know anything about these things. Since Uncle likes them, I’ll give them to you. If I keep them, they’ll just be pearls covered in dust,” Qiao Mei said.

All these gifts were just appropriate enough. It was not so ostentatious as to make MO Chou feel like he had to give MO Zhu away to the Xia family.

With so many Xia family members here today, the MO family also had to give them a clear answer. If the MO family really did not want MO Zhu to marry into the Xia family, the Xia family would not pester them anymore.

MO Chou brought Xia Wen to the study. He stood by the window and did not speak for a long time. He was not a cold-blooded and heartless person. It was not as if he was not touched by the Xia family’s sincerity today. MO Zhu definitely would not suffer if she married into the Xia family.

In particular, the wedding dress which Qiao Mei made was definitely not something that could be done overnight. They had heard MO Zhu talk about Qiao Mei before. Qiao Mei had many antiques and paintings at home and was definitely not someone who did not know anything about these things. For her to be willing to part with such expensive and priceless items, she was really sparing no expenses.

Xia Wen walked over to MO Chou and said seriously, “Uncle, I have brought my entire family this time round to show you my determination and also to express my family’s sincerity. I will definitely treat MO Zhu well and will not let her down.”

“You’ve told me this many times and I’m tired of hearing it. You also know

what I’m worried about. I’m a father and I don’t ask tor my daughter to live in luxury. I just hope that my daughter will have a smooth life and be safe. I only have this small wish. I hope you can understand,” MO Chou said with a sigh.

“I can guarantee that MO Zhu will live a carefree life. I can give her everything I have! If MO Zhu feels that life in the city is too stressful, I can come to the mountain village with her to do farming. If MO Zhu wants to go into business,

I can also join her. As long as she wants to do something, I will do it with her,” Xia Wen said.

“Then can you give up your family for MO Zhu?” MO Chou questioned.

Xia Wen was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he said, “I’m sorry, Uncle. I can’t do that. My parents gave birth to me and raised me for so many years. I can’t abandon my family for my own needs. I am indebted to my parents. If I can give up my family so casually, then I’m just a disloyal and unfilial person.”

MO Chou nodded in satisfaction. Xia Wen was a person with a baseline. He did not want MO Zhu to marry a boastful person or a man who would abandon his family and responsibilities. He was no longer as determined to object as before. He asked Liu Shu to bring MO Zhu to the study.

MO Chou looked at MO Zhu and asked, “Are you sure you want to marry Xia

Wen?”

“Father! I’m serious! I want to be with Xia Wen! I’m willing to give up everything I have now!” MO Zhu said.

MO Chou sat on the chair helplessly and shook his head. Liu Shu stood beside him and placed her hands on his shoulder. Liu Shu knew how much MO Chou could not bear to part with MO Zhu. He could not bear to see Nio Zhu go to the Xia family house and suffer there.

“No matter how difficult it is, can you persevere?” Liu Shu asked gently.

“I can do it,” MO Zhu said firmly.

“MO Zhu and I will face any difficulties together. I won’t abandon MO Zhu,” Xia Wen said.

“Sigh… Alright, a grown daughter has to leave home one day. Ask your parents to find a good date for you to get married,” MO Chou said with a deep sigh.

“What?” Xia Wen stood stunned for a long time. He did not hear what MO Chou said clearly.

MO Chou said impatiently, “Do I have to say it again! Hurry up and set the date! You brat!”
