?Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Reconsider_1 Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Reconsider_1 Concerning his daughter’s unwed pregnancy and the birth of her child, Xu Xuanyi had always been somewhat worried.

He himself wasn’t afraid of anything, but he was concerned about Xu Yixue, who was still very young and had her whole life ahead of her.

But now that the matter had been leaked to the public and even to this day it was still unclear who the father of the child was, there were a lot of rumors and gossip going around, even within the Xu Family itself.

Of course, Xu Xuanyi naturally liked Xu Yixue’s child, Tongtong, very much.

Moreover, this matter could also potentially have a negative impact on Tongtong’s growth.

So the best solution to this problem was to find a marital match for Xu Yixue, which would give Tongtong a father, and all his worries could be easily resolved.

Although he thought this way, he didn’t have much regard for Shi You.

Xu Xuanyi had long heard numerous rumors about Shi You’s bad character and knew he was not good material.

To actually let Xu Yixue marry Shi You would be tantamount to ruining his daughter’s life.

Aside from that, he also wasn’t very supportive of the Xu Family forming a marital alliance with the Ma Family.

He had long since perceived that the Ma Family had malicious intentions toward the Xu Family; if they really formed an alliance, it would likely be a case of inviting the wolf into the house.

In the future, the Xu Family might be consumed by the Ma Family, leaving nothing but remnants behind.

Therefore, whether considering his daughter’s personal happiness or the interests of the entire clan, he could not agree to an alliance between the two families.

Seeing that Xu Xuanyi did not speak for a long time, Ma Yitai frowned and gave Shi You a look.

Shi You understood the hint, stood up again, took a few steps forward, and bowed deeply to Xu Xuanyi with a sincere face, “Uncle Xu, I, Shi You, can swear to heaven, that my feelings for Miss Xu are genuine and sincere.

Regardless of whether Miss Xu has a child or not, it does not affect my feelings for her in the slightest, nor will I care about the opinions of others.

After we are married, I will definitely treat Miss Xu’s child as my own, giving them my utmost care.

And for Miss Xu, I will definitely make her happy.”

Xu Xuanyi did not speak, but his expression made it clear to everyone what his attitude was.

The third Elder’s face changed, and he said coldly, “Family Head, this matter is beneficial both for Yixue and the family.

If you do not agree now, you are not only hindering Yixue’s pursuit of happiness but also the development of our family.

I must question, if one prioritizes their own interests over the family’s welfare, what qualifications do they have to be the Family Head of our Xu Family?”

At these words, Xu Xuanyi immediately grew angry.

The Grand Elder said sternly, “Third Elder, you must be careful with your words, do not speak nonsense!”

Xu Xuanyi stood up, his gaze piercing coldly as he looked at the Third Elder, and snorted, “What is the basis of the Third Elder’s statement?

Ever since I took over as the Family Head of the Xu Family, I have always been diligent and conscientious, never daring to have any self-interest.

I dare not claim to be the most sagacious Family Head in the history of the Xu Family, but at least during my tenure, the Xu Family has steadily grown without any loss.

So I do not know why the Third Elder thinks that I do not deserve to be the Family Head?”

Xu Xuanyi’s words were well-reasoned, and the Third Elder, momentarily speechless and overwhelmed by Xu Xuanyi’s aura, could only snort coldly and turn his head away.

“Hehe, why get angry?

The Third Elder is just outspoken and did not really mean to question you,” said Xu Xuanqiang laughing, “But no matter what, Shi You is indeed a good match for Yixue.

It would be difficult to find someone better than Shi You in Shenzhen City.

In all respects, this is a good thing, why won’t you agree, Xuanyi?”

Xu Xuanyi sneered in his heart, stepped forward next to Xu Xuanqiang, and whispered in his ear, “Tsk tsk, don’t you think you’re too eager?

Luring the tiger to devour the wolf is not how you play the game, if by chance we fail to drive away the tiger from the Ma Family and cannot swallow the wolf either, the consequences could be unimaginable.”

Xu Xuanqiang’s face suddenly turned pale, and he turned to look coldly at Xu Xuanyi.

“There’s no need to rush, hot tofu cannot be eaten hastily,” Xu Xuanyi patted Xu Xuanqiang’s shoulder, chuckled lightly, then took a few steps back and turned toward Ma Yitai with a bow, “Brother Ma, I am truly sorry, but it seems you have come in vain this time.

I will definitely make up for it with a personal visit to the Ma Family to apologize, and I hope Brother Ma can understand.”

“There’s no need for apologies, since Brother Xu does not agree, we cannot force the issue,”

Ma Yitai said calmly as he stood up and turned to leave.

“But…

Dad…” Shi You hesitated, coming back to his senses, his face filled with reluctance.

However, Ma Yitai did not turn back.

Ma Shi You had no choice but to follow behind Ma Yitai, heading outside together.

Ma Yizuo also let out a cold laugh and stood up to follow.

“Sorry, I, Xu Xuanyi, will personally visit to apologize another day,” Xu Xuanyi said as he bowed and saw them off from behind.

However, Xu Xuanyi soon frowned.

Because although the three members of the Ma Family were headed towards the door, the old man and the young one who had come with them were still sitting there, as if all of this had nothing to do with them.

What he didn’t notice was that, on the faces of Xu Xuanqiang and Xu Xuanzuo, an eerie smile emerged almost simultaneously.

Suddenly…

The elder, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them, and his eyes shone brightly.

Xu Xuanyi just happened to turn his head, and their eyes met.

Xu Xuanyi actually felt a wave of dizziness and lost his focus momentarily.

When he came back to his senses, his complexion underwent a drastic change, and an unpleasant premonition surfaced in his heart.

Only to hear the elder finally speak, “Ma Family Head, please stop.”

Ma Yitai, as if he had expected this, didn’t wait for the elder to finish speaking before he stopped.

Then he turned around, asking respectfully, “May I ask what Master Lu commands?”

Ma Yizuo and Ma Shi You also promptly stopped and turned around to look at Master Lu.

Master Lu stood up, with his gaze turning towards Xu Xuanyi, and said indifferently, “Family Head Xu, I am a patron of the Ma Family, so naturally, I have to consider the interests of the Ma Family.

But you, you have refused the Ma Family’s marriage proposal, which displeases me.”

As he spoke, his tone grew even colder, “Therefore, I am giving Family Head Xu ten seconds to reconsider and make a new decision, or else, bear the consequences!”

With those words, an immense aura emanated from Master Lu’s body.

?????.??

It actually stirred up a fierce wind that swept around, causing everyone’s clothing and hair to fly wildly.

Crash…

A teacup was blown off the table and shattered on the floor.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and they instinctively stepped back several paces.

Especially Xu Xuanyi, being the most directly exposed, let out a stifled groan.

He couldn’t help but directly stagger back several steps, feeling a rush of blood in his throat as blood already started to emerge.

Yet, this mouthful of blood was immediately swallowed back down forcibly by Xu Xuanyi.

Xu Xuanyi was extremely shocked in his heart.

They hadn’t even come to blows yet, and just the pressure of his aura had already injured him!
