?Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Alliance Through Marriage_1 Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Alliance Through Marriage_1 Xu Fan pinched Tongtong’s chubby cheeks and smiled, “We’re all discussing the issue of Daddy coming to formally propose marriage.”

Tongtong was even more puzzled and asked in confusion, “What’s that?

Is it fun?”

Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the comment.

Xu Fan was also somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry but explained, “It means that Daddy and Mommy are going to get married soon.

And not only will there be a lot of fun, but there will also be a lot of delicious things, oh, and we’ll take really nice pictures.”

“Oh, oh, that’s great!” Tongtong clapped her hands and laughed happily.

Xu Yixue’s face was filled with sweet happiness; after waiting for so long, she was finally about to reach this day.

Thus, the matter of the marriage proposal was settled, and after the announcement, the atmosphere at the dining table became even more joyful.

Everyone offered Xu Fan and Xu Yixue their sincere blessings.

Ye Xiaoning and Chen Shiyu huddled together, whispering something in Xu Yixue’s ear, which made Xu Yixue’s pretty face turn even redder.

Besides, Zhou Xian would draw a team of more than a dozen members from the security group and, together with Zhou Xian, Bull Demon, and Song Qingshan, form a protective convoy to accompany Xu Fan.

????0.??

Cui Dong contacted a clothing company to work overtime and tailor suits for Xu Fan and his group.

After all, this trip was for the marriage proposal, so naturally, the impression and presence they made were very important.

The protective team would dress uniformly in suits and sunglasses; they had to look sharp overall, as under no circumstances could they lose face for Xu Fan.

Ye Xiaoning then contacted Yifan Beauty to prepare many sets of outfits and many products to add to the bridal gifts, which in terms of value alone would exceed ten billion.

Xu Yue and Wang Xiaolong went to the most significant and most luxurious car dealership in Yanjing, planning to buy some luxury cars for the convoy.

However, before they decided which cars to buy, a sudden call from the Qin Family said they would take care of the convoy matters and certainly wouldn’t hold Xu Fan back.

Xu Fan didn’t refuse but gave them the chance to show goodwill.

Xu Yunji headed back to Shenzhen City in advance to prepare everything there.

After all, Xu Yixue’s parents were still unaware, and a sudden announcement might be hard for them to accept, which could end up doing more harm than good.

Xu Dan also went with Xu Yunji to provide mutual support.

After consuming the Gather-Change Fruit, Xu Dan had reached the Martial King realm.

With his current strength, he could go anywhere in the Secular World without a problem.

With Xu Dan as an escort, Xu Fan could be more at ease.

In a short while, arrangements were made, and everyone immediately started to get busy.

But speaking of Shenzhen City,

By noon, Xu Yunji and Xu Dan had landed at the airport.

Xu Yunji, who always went with the flow, hadn’t informed his family in advance, so naturally, no one was there to meet them.

After exiting the airport, they casually hailed a taxi on the street.

Once in the car, they saw that the driver was an enthusiastic man in his forties.

Once the two were seated, the driver asked, “Where to?”

Xu Yunji reported her home address with a smile.

The driver immediately looked surprised, and as he started the car, he speculated, “I know this place, are you by any chance heading to the Xu Family?”

The Xu Family were considered a prominent clan in Shenzhen City, and as a local, the driver was well aware of the Xu Family.

“That’s right, exactly there.”

Xu Yunji nodded satisfactorily.

Even a random driver knew about her family, which indicated that their reputation in Shenzhen City was indeed good.

The driver said, “It seems you two have heard as well, so you’re going to the Xu Family to join the crowd, huh?

Haha, not just you two, many people have gone there.”

Xu Yunji frowned, puzzled, “Join the crowd?”

The driver laughed, “Yes, many of us locals know about it already, it’s no secret anymore.

In fact, there have been rumors for a long time that the Ma Family and the Xu Family were planning to unite through marriage.”

“Haha, both the Ma Family and the Xu Family are big names in Shenzhen City, and so naturally their union has attracted a lot of attention from us locals.

But later, for some reason, the matter fizzled out with no follow-up.”

“There were rumors that the miss from the Xu Family had run away to escape the marriage and had gone abroad.

There were also stories that the young master of the Ma Family was of questionable character, and was even caught in bed by the Xu Family.

Haha, there’s been all sorts of talk, but who knows what the truth is.”

Xu Yunji furrowed her brow.

As a member of the Xu Family, she knew the insider details of this matter far better than the uncle driver.

There indeed had been an attempt to force Xu Yixue into marriage, but at that time, Xu Yixue was already pregnant, so she temporarily went abroad to avoid the situation.

It was only after Tongtong was born that she came back.

However, now hearing the uncle driver talk about these things, could it be that the Ma Family was stirring up trouble again?

The driver uncle continued, “Just a few days ago, news came out from the Ma Family, it seems they are planning to continue with the marriage alliance with the Xu Family.”

“Oh yes, I also got a message in the drivers’ group chat, a colleague said they saw a convoy of luxury cars leaving the Ma Family, heading towards the Xu Family’s place.

Haha, after so much time has passed, I guess now the elders from both sides are probably discussing the marriage.”

“But I feel it’s a shame.

Miss Xu is gifted in both looks and brains, a rare find in this world.

If she really marries that profligate son from the Ma Family, it would be such a waste.

You should know, that profligate from the Ma Family, he’s really no good thing…”

At this point, the driver uncle even sighed sympathetically.

Of course, he was just making idle conversation.

After all, these high-society concerns were not much of a concern to the likes of him.

However, upon hearing all this, Xu Yunji’s expression suddenly turned ugly, and with anger smoldering, she said coldly, “Master, please speed up, the faster the better, I can pay extra.”

“No problem.” Upon hearing the offer of extra money, the uncle driver immediately cheered up, pressing the accelerator to pick up the pace.

In the living room of the Xu Family, seven or eight people were in discussion.

The one at the head seat, a middle-aged man past the age of forty with sparse brows and wide eyes, had a full-faced, well-defined bone structure, exuding vitality and vigor.

His jet-black hair was neatly combed without a hair out of place.

Although he sat silently at the head of the table, he emanated an authoritative presence effortlessly, the kind that only those in power for a long time possessed.
