The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 926 - 443

"Oh, what kind of family does the man come from that makes you so proud?" There are always a few in every office who just can’t get along, like archenemies, unable to stand even a hint of the other’s happiness.

Right now, the one who usually clashed with Mother Lu couldn’t stand to see Mother Lu happy and decided to tease her.

She felt that Mother Lu was exaggerating. How good could the man’s family really be? She knew that those with prestigious family backgrounds in the Capital City all had their noses in the air; none of them would take a fancy to Mother Lu’s family. "Tell us then, which family is it?"

On an ordinary day, Mother Lu might have been genuinely upset by her colleague’s comments. But today, she was in high spirits, and moreover, she was eager to see this colleague get put in their place: "Since everyone is so curious, I’ll tell you. Anyway, my daughter’s engagement has been arranged, and even if I don’t say it today, you all will find out when I invite everyone to a meal in the future. The young man is indeed the second son of the Xiao Family."

"The Xiao Family? Are you talking about the one connected by marriage to the Situ Family?" someone asked tentatively, fearing they might have gotten it wrong, for the Xiao Family was not just any aristocratic family.

"Yes, that’s the Xiao Family."

Hearing Mother Lu’s response, everyone in the office gasped. Although they were ordinary citizens, anyone living in the Capital City would be aware of the Xiao Family’s and the Situ Family’s prominence.

They were aware of what kind of status those families had.

It just never occurred to them that Mother Lu’s family would be connected to the Xiao Family.

"How is that possible? Are you delirious with your desire to climb up the social ladder? Could your family possibly match up to the second son of the Xiao Family? People from their kind of background are the most particular about matching social status," the colleague who didn’t get along with Mother Lu voiced their disbelief instinctively after their initial shock.

"Whether it’s possible or not, isn’t it obvious once my daughter gets engaged? To be honest, I had the same thoughts initially. Such prestigious families are indeed particular about matching family backgrounds, to the point where I didn’t even agree when my future son-in-law came over with gifts. I don’t hope for my daughter to marry into a wealthy and powerful family; I just want my daughter to have a harmonious marriage for life. It’s also because my future in-laws called me personally today, making an appointment for both families to discuss the engagement. They also mentioned that their family does not adhere to the concept of matching social status. They said that, with their family’s situation, they don’t need to use their children’s marriages to secure the family’s prosperity. The couple only hopes that their children can find partners they truly love. Moreover, my future mother-in-law really likes my daughter and said that once my daughter marries into the Xiao Family, she will treat her as her own daughter." Reflecting on the words that Situ Xin had said over the phone just earlier, any trace of anger that Mother Lu felt due to her colleague’s words dissipated. Let those who couldn’t bear to see their family doing well talk their sour words.

As long as her daughter will be comfortable in her marital home, that’s enough. "Speaking of which, previously you mentioned your daughter was seeing a rich second-generation guy, from which family was it again? How is it going now? It’s been quite a while, shouldn’t things be getting settled? When can you invite all of us to a meal?" Returning barbs is doable by anyone, right?

Mother Lu bluntly returned the shove with her own words.
