Finding Fault

Xu Lan did not like the idea of this marriage at all. Furthermore, Xia Zhe had gotten married on his own without informing his parents.

"Nobody is allowed to worry about this matter. Doesn't he like doing things himself? Let him handle it on his own!" Xu Lan said to her family sulkily.

Xu Lan was in charge of everything in the family. Xia Mao had his hands full with work and he forgot about the matter as time passed.

As for how Tan Jing found out about it, it happened when Mrs. Zheng from the Zheng family and Xu Lan went for a massage together some time ago. At that time, Mrs. Zheng had tactfully said that Xia Zhe's marriage was the hardest on Zheng Yuan as she had waited for him for so many years to no avail.

Xu Lan felt really embarrassed, but there was nothing that she could say. After returning home, she vented her anger on Tan Jing.
