Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Xu Family Selects a Consort!

“How is it no longer related to us?”

“I’ve looked into it, and the news from the Xu Family is that any woman from a top-tier domestic family who is single is eligible.”

“Single doesn’t just mean a woman who hasn’t married or doesn’t have a boyfriend; it also includes widows and divorcees, so we meet the criteria too.”

Zhou Man Na said.

Lan Qianrong understood, “So you mean, although one of us is a widow and the other is divorced, we are still eligible, and perhaps we might be chosen?”

Zhou Man Na nodded slightly.

“What the Xu Family represents, both of us know very well. Given the chance to get connected with the Xu Family, how could our families possibly miss it?”

“Even though they know we were with Xu Qianli, they might force us to break it off with him, pushing us towards the young master of the Xu Family.”

“With our looks, figures, and personality, as long as the young master of the Xu Family isn’t blind or abnormal, how could he not fancy us and definitely make us his women?”

“I don’t love Xu Qianli as much as you do, but I really like the feeling of being with him.”

“He’s amazing, the young master of the Xu Family can’t compare to him. After tasting the meat and then staying with the young master of the Xu Family, it’s bound to feel like living in celibacy, and I certainly don’t want that.”

“You feel the same, right? You wouldn’t want to be forced to leave Xu Qianli for that young master of the Xu Family?”

As Zhou Man Na continued, she became increasingly distraught and anxious.

Her family had already started pressuring her, forcing her to make an appearance at the Xu Family, to strive no matter what to marry into the Xu Family and become the young master’s woman, thus securing substantial benefits for the Zhou Family.

She was unwilling, but she couldn’t fight against the entire family.

Coming to Jiang City this time, besides meeting Xu Qianli for physical satisfaction, the most important thing was to find a way to deal with it.

In any case, she definitely didn’t want to break up with Xu Qianli, definitely didn’t want to go with that young master of the Xu Family.

Upon hearing Zhou Man Na, Lan Qianrong also became worried.

Her mother definitely wouldn’t force her to break up with Xu Qianli and follow that damned young master of the Xu Family.

But other elders in the Lan Family might very well consider it.

What should she do then?

If she outright resisted her family’s wishes, she would instantly lose everything she currently possessed.

But if she agreed, then she’d have to break up with the man she loved, Xu Qianli, and marry a man whom she not only didn’t like but had never even met.

Not to mention emotional aspects, just considering the physical aspects.

Although Xu Qianli was her only man in this lifetime, she had seen romantic movies before and even heard from girlfriends about things with men.

She knew full well how strong Xu Qianli was; he could effortlessly make her fall madly in love.

Switching men, would anyone have Xu Qianli’s stamina, energy, and ability?

Moreover, she had already sworn that this enticing body of hers wouldn’t allow a second man to possess it; only Xu Qianli could touch and enjoy her, and in the future, bear his children.

The more she thought about it, the more worried Lan Qianrong became. She quickly asked, “Quick, tell me, how many women have the Xu Family chosen already, and how many more do they intend to pick?”

Zhou Man Na said, “What, you’re starting to worry now?”

Lan Qianrong replied, “Alright, stop teasing me already, just tell me what’s happening?”

“I’m saying it’s still not finalized…”

Zhou Man Na recounted everything she knew.

After the Xu Family announced they were selecting a bride for their young master, many daughters from numerous families actively visited to present themselves.

Not just the single women, but many married ones hurried to divorce and, as singles again, ran to the Xu Family.

This had been going on for two or three days; just heard that the Xu Family had already picked five people, but since they hadn’t declared that it was enough, so the process continued.

Zhou Family, where Zhou Man Na was from, had sent a few women over but unfortunately, none were selected.

Lan Family wasn’t far behind; several of Lan Qianrong’s female cousins had visited the Xu Family, but all were turned down.

Hearing this, Lan Qianrong breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness, thank goodness the Xu Family has such picky tastes, and since both of our families have sent women there, it looks like we’re out of the picture.”

Zhou Man Na said, “You, you think too simply. If women from our respective families had been selected, it would have been fine, but since none were, if we still want to connect with the Xu Family, they might well target us now. Not to hide it from you, but my dad has already mentioned it to me, and I guess someone from your Lan Family will be contacting you soon.”

Before Zhou Man Na had finished speaking, Lan Qianrong’s phone started ringing, startling them both.

Picking up the phone, Lan Qianrong saw it was a call from mom, which only increased her nervousness.

Zhou Man Na spoke urgently, “Don’t answer; at such a critical moment, if aunt is suddenly calling you, she’s definitely trying to pressure you to break up with Xu Qianli and participate in the selection instead. You mustn’t answer it.”

“Alright, I won’t.”

Lan Qianrong, also worried it was exactly that, quickly tossed her phone aside.

The ringing stopped quickly, but before Lan Qianrong could relax, the sharp voice of mother Ye Meili suddenly came from the living room.

“How dare you, you wicked girl, not answer my calls! I’ll see how I deal with you!”

“And Mengni, you wicked girl, running over to glue yourself to Xu Qianli in broad daylight, aren’t you ashamed?”

In the living room, Xu Qianli and Lan Mengni, struggling to part, suddenly saw Ye Meili barge in, both were startled.

Especially Lan Mengni, who trembled all over, turning pale, “Mom, listen to my excuse. No, listen to my explanation, it’s not what you see between Xu Qianli and me, we are just…”

Halfway through speaking, Lan Mengni truly couldn’t carry on. She did want to make excuses, but was still in Xu Qianli’s arms, her moments of trying to please Xu Qianli clear as day to her just-arrived mom; how could she explain?

“Aunt, wait here for a moment, we’ll be right back.” Xu Qianli, quick to react, picked up Lan Mengni and dashed toward the bedroom.

Watching the two leave, Ye Meili shook her head, thinking to herself what a mess this was.

After a while, Xu Qianli and Lan Mengni returned, both neatly dressed.

Not just them, but Lan Qianrong and Zhou Man Na were there too, all looking guilty.

Ye Meili thought Xu Qianli and Lan Mengni had been sneaking around behind Lan Qianrong’s back, but seeing Lan Qianrong there as well, she instantly understood, thinking to herself this guy really had some nerve, managing to charm his two precious daughters so thoroughly, and Zhou Man Na too, quite impressive.

Nevertheless, without bothering about all that, Ye Meili said, “Xu Qianli, come here, aunt has something important to discuss.”

Xu Qianli approached with a beaming face, “Aunt, please speak. No, just command me, anything I can do, I will certainly not refuse.”
