Chu Lian had stayed holed up in the Academy for several days, thinking that the matter of his rejection would not be discussed by the common folk for more than a few days and the heat would die down soon.
However, what he did not expect was that when he left the Academy, his affair was still being talked about on the streets, and was even escalating.
"I never thought that the Chu Family would be so persistent in wanting to marry Miss Wang."
"Exactly! They've proposed for five consecutive days, and each time Miss Wang has turned them away at her door."
"..."
"..."
Chu Lian was startled in his heart, what on earth was going on, his family was still proposing marriage, now it was done for, that willful girl would hate him again.
Unable to listen any further, he quickly found a carriage and headed straight to Shibao Town.
Upon entering the front hall of his home, he saw his family lounging leisurely.
