Urban Immortal Lord

"Sorry I'm late."

Xia Tian's soft voice rang out, and then she turned around and politely smiled at Ma Hao's parents at the dining table, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Ma Hao's high school classmate. My name is Xia Tian."

In fact, Xia Tian had arrived near Ma Hao long ago, but when she heard the woman's mother making sarcastic remarks about Ma Hao, she did not go up to greet him, but instead chose to stand by and watch.

Thus, Xia Tian gained a general understanding of Ma Hao's engagement.

It's nothing more than the girl's parents demanding a dowry of 200,000 yuan from Ma Hao before they'll agree to let the two date.

Xia Tian couldn't help but let out a faint, cold smile. Ma Hao's so-called engagement banquet was, to put it bluntly, just a formal meeting between the two families, a negotiation at the dinner table.

When Xia Tian greeted them politely, Ma Hao's mother, Fang Qiuyan, and father, Ma Hongde, smiled and quickly invited Xia Tian to sit down.

Xia Tian glanced at Ma Hao's father, Ma Hongde, then looked away, already understanding the situation.

Ma Hao's father, Ma Hongde, suffers from a serious illness, which Xia Tian estimates to be rheumatism, thus leaving him in a semi-paralyzed state.

When Ma Hao saw Xia Tian suddenly appear in front of him, he was overjoyed and immediately pulled Xia Tian to sit down in an empty seat next to him. This seat was specially reserved for Xia Tian. When Ma Hao heard that Xia Tian was coming in person, he booked an extra table.

"Brother, I'm sorry, this place is really too simple. Please make do for now. I'll treat you to drinks another day as an apology," Ma Hao said apologetically to Xia Tian, ​​without mentioning money at all. He then introduced Xia Tian, ​​"This is my girlfriend, her name is He Fangfang."

"Hello." Xia Tian greeted He Fangfang politely, but when he looked down at He Fangfang's lower abdomen, he smiled knowingly. The girl was already a month pregnant.

He Fangfang, who was sitting to Ma Hao's left, also politely replied to Xia Tian, ​​but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, because she really couldn't see anything special about the young man in front of her.

"Hahaha...that's hilarious! Is this the friend you were talking about who could lend you 200,000?"

Suddenly, a mocking laugh came from Lu Juanhua's mouth. Ever since Xia Tian appeared at the table, Lu Juanhua had been looking Xia Tian up and down.

The boy who appeared before her was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and a pair of worn-out sneakers. His entire outfit cost no more than a hundred yuan, and he was just a cheap street vendor. Lu Juanhua could hardly believe that this boy, who suddenly appeared, claimed to be Ma Hao's friend and had 200,000 yuan in savings to lend to Ma Hao.

"Birds of a feather flock together, as expected. I'm not trying to criticize you, Ma Hao, but it's one thing if you can't come up with 200,000 yuan for the bride price, but why bring someone here to make fun of us all?" Lu Juanhua mocked again. "Why don't we just call off the wedding and part ways amicably?"

Seeing this, Ma Hao was caught in a dilemma. On one side was his future mother-in-law, and on the other was his good brother. He could only look at Xia Tian apologetically. Ma Hao was well aware of Xia Tian's terrifying strength and miraculous medical skills, and he was worried that Xia Tian would be angry because of this.

Seeing this, Xia Tian smiled faintly and said, "I've brought the money, and it's a million in cash. It's in the car outside. You can go out and get it later."

Xia Tian understood perfectly well that He Fangfang's mother, Lu Juanhua, was making sarcastic remarks simply because she looked down on him because he was dressed plainly and came empty-handed.

However, Xia Tian didn't care at all. He had absolutely no interest in such a minor character.

His purpose in coming here was simply to give Ma Hao a million-yuan gift and then discuss engineering project cooperation with him.

"Hehe, Ma Hao is already shameless enough, saying his friend would lend him 200,000. You, on the other hand, are bragging without thinking, saying you have a million in your car outside. It's hilarious." Upon hearing this, Lu Juanhua quickly retorted sarcastically, "Alright, alright, I don't want to listen to you bragging anymore. Hurry up and finish this sumptuous meal, then go back to where you came from."

Xia Tian was amused by these words, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She said, "I can understand your mindset as a parent. You simply want your daughter to marry well and live a life of comfort. But have you ever considered that perhaps your daughter is willing to endure hardship with Ma Hao? She believes that Ma Hao will definitely make her happy in the future!"

"In a way, you are forcibly destroying a beautiful marriage. You are using the 200,000 yuan dowry as a reason to make things difficult for Ma Hao and make him back down. But unfortunately, you are destined to be disappointed."

At this point, Xia Tian couldn't help but shake his head. In China, an ancient and traditional country, the concept of marrying someone of equal social standing seems to be deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but recall the girl who had left such a deep impression on him, and the scene of their breakup remained vivid in his memory.

Summer's thoughts seemed to drift back to the eve of their breakup, that night when it was pouring rain.

In the summer, he stood outside the girls' dormitory, letting the heavy rain wash over him. About an hour later, the girl he longed for finally came out of the dormitory.

"Let's break up," the girl said expressionlessly as she stood in front of Xia Tian.

At that moment, Xia Tian felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife; it was like a bolt from the blue, catching her completely off guard.

"Why?" Xia Tian stared intently at the girl and asked in a trembling voice.

"Summer, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? You need to face reality, okay?" The girl seemed like a completely different person, her words devoid of any emotion. She said indifferently, "There's an insurmountable chasm between us. We're destined to be from different worlds. That's it. I hope you won't bother me anymore. I'm leaving now."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back.

Summer, on the other hand, remained rooted to the spot, motionless for a long time, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

The following day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the university campus: one of the school's four most beautiful girls was already taken. This news was shared, liked, and commented on by countless alumni on Weibo and forums, causing a sensation throughout the entire university!

When Xia Tian saw this message, she finally understood that perhaps his existence was just a carefully orchestrated encounter she had created to win back a man's heart...

"Su Yu, I'll make you pay for this!"
