Forever Worthy of Your Love

Madam Jiang's words failed to stop her son.His curiosity had truly been piqued by the Fifth Young Mistress of the Hua family.Rumor had it that she had followed Old Madam Hua up Mount Zhongcui at a young age and had stayed there ever since.It was also said that she looked ugly and had trouble expressing herself due to a stuttering problem.However, she had just spoken rather clearly to him. Could the people have been mistaken about her?Just like this, Jiang Liu walked up to the stage unhurriedly, greatly intrigued and interested to know her better.The scene unfolding in front of the guests took them completely by surprise. They stared at both of them in stunned silence.It was the Fifth Young Mistress who broke the silence. "You may continue with the ceremony, Father."It was only at this close range that Jiang Liu realized her voice was crisp and sweet. She did not sound like an ugly woman with a speech impediment to him at all."Er..." the pastor stammered. He had been a

His question stumped Hua Sheng.Of course, the Jiangs were not in need of money. In fact, they had enough reserves to support a few more generations.The Jiang family was at the peak of its prosperity and the other three Great Families were trying to catch up to it.There were rumors that the jade bangle that Madam Jiang wore was an extremely rare piece of jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars.As such, Jiang Liu was completely uninterested in the "expensive gift" that Hua Sheng had promised him.She was starting to regret having made a deal with this man.She should have chosen to be disgraced. The entire incident would blow over anyway; why did she choose to do things the hard way?From how he spoke earlier on, she had a feeling that this man would not be discouraged easily. Indeed, he had proved her right."Why aren't you answering me, young lady?" he pressed on. "What a jerk... Obviously, he knows that he's got me in a bind here, yet he's asking for a reply? I've never

Three hours later... A piece of news began spreading across the entire city like wildfire.In fact, it ended up becoming more explosive than Second Young Master Xie's love scandal on the very day of his wedding.It was news of the bride finding a replacement groom directly in the banquet hall.The bridegroom's identity was an even greater source of interest—he turned out to be the sole inheritor of the Jiang Family's fortune, the wealthiest financial institution in River City, and the most powerful of the Four Great Families.Who exactly was the young man?Not only was he the heir of the Jiangs' fifth generation...But it was also rumored that he was extremely good-looking and possessed high levels of IQ and EQ.Adding on to that list of impressive credentials, he was also a high-performing student during his stint at Cambridge who returned back home to take control of his family's business at the age of 23. Within the short span of three-and-a-half years, he managed to increa

Jiang Liu had expected his mother to behave in this manner. He remained calm and reversed the grip on his mother's hands."Mum... I'm no longer young. I'm 27 this year," he said gently.Madam Jiang was impatient in nature and immediately retorted, "You want to get married? You can get any woman you like in River City, no, the entire country! You can find someone better with your eyes closed. Why do you have to pick an unwanted girl?"Her chief concern was their family's reputation. After all, they were a reputable household.It was only natural that the Jiangs would not think highly of a girl rejected by someone like the second son of the Xies, and there was also the debacle at the banquet to consider."I'm very fond of her, Mum," Jiang Liu continued.Madam Jiang was momentarily stunned. "Didn't you just say that both of you have just met today?""Yeah, and it was love at first sight. Furthermore, we shouldn't change our minds about such important matters. Both of you and all

Xie Dongyang's escape from his own wedding was premeditated. At first, he thought nothing about rejecting Hua Sheng, as his family was more powerful than hers.However, he never expected that Jiang Liu would get caught up in the affair. To Xie Dongyang, this was an unexpected bonus.It made him feel as though Jiang Liu was getting something that he did not want; it made him feel really pleased.Xie Dongze understood what his younger brother was getting at and did not continue speaking much. Instead, he followed their father's instructions and brought Xie Dongyang back home.That night, Xie Dongyang endured a whipping with a leather whip.Old Master Xie, who was really angry, was the one who administered the merciless beating.He only relented when his wife became soft-hearted and pleaded for leniency on their son's behalf."I should have flogged this unfilial boy to death," Old Master Xie remarked as he panted with the whip in hand.Xie Dongyang remained completely silent throughout th
