Yuzhong City, the Xie family.
As one of Yuzhong City's top families, the Xie family's estate covered a vast area, spanning dozens of acres. It was enclosed by high walls, and inside, trees provided ample shade. The estate was elegant, understated, and luxurious.
At that moment, Xie Heng, the current head of the Xie family, was entertaining several guests alongside a few of the family's key members. The two sides were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was cordial.
"Brother Xie, once your young lady marries my son, our families will be one."
A middle-aged man said with a hearty smile.
Xie Heng smiled as well. "That's right. Brother Zhang, my niece was spoiled by her parents from a young age. She's willful, and this time she even ran away from home without a word."
"When she comes back, I'll make sure to discipline her properly. But in my opinion, it's better to arrange my niece's marriage to your son sooner rather than later, lest she cause more trouble."
The middle-aged man was none other than Zhang Shiren, head of the Zhang family in Yuzhong City.
Hearing Xie Heng's words, Zhang Shiren smiled. "That sounds good. Let's have them marry as soon as possible. Once the deed is done, your young lady should settle down."
"Mm."
Xie Heng nodded, then smiled again. "I've already had someone check the auspicious dates. The fifth of next month is a good day. How about we set my niece's wedding to your son for then?"
"Excellent. It's settled, then!"
Zhang Shiren smiled, then couldn't help glancing at the people beside him.
While they were talking, Ning Wangshu, Wang Zhiqiang, and Xie Ting had already arrived outside the Xie family estate.
"Ning, this is the Xie family estate..."
Xie Ting said.
"Mm."
Ning Wangshu nodded slightly.
