The He Family, having just returned, was temporarily unaware that Qiu Ruyue was to marry Xuanyuan Bei, only finding out when they went to visit.
After finding out, He Manzhi was extremely frightened. This was tantamount to competing with the City Lord for a woman, and offending the City Lord was no trivial matter.
However, he had already spoken. To speak again, he didn't even know where to put his old face.
He decided to take things one step at a time. Seeing that Miss Qiu had agreed to marry his son, he assumed she did not like the City Lord and would definitely refuse to marry him.
Indeed, just as Xuanyuan Bei was jubilantly preparing for the wedding, he learned that Qiu Ruyue's fiancé had returned. Qiu Ruyue planned to marry her fiancé instead and no longer intended to marry him.
At that moment, the news struck him like a bolt from the blue, leaving him dazed and unable to recover for a long time.
He went to confront Qiu Ruyue about what was happening.
