The Flash Marriage Husband is from a Top-tier Aristocratic Family

In the spacious and incredibly luxurious office, a profound silence filled the room, as if even the air itself had become still.

Huo Siyuan sat quietly in the genuine leather chair, resembling a statue. His cold, stern face appeared even darker now, like a sky full of ominous clouds, sending a chilling wave through the atmosphere.

He stared intently at Feng Chi, standing nearby, his gaze as cold as ice. He squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Feng Chi, how is the investigation I assigned to you going?"

Feng Chi, fully aware of the temperament of the second master, dared not be the slightest bit careless. He quickly and carefully handed over a tablet that he had already prepared, presenting it respectfully to Huo Siyuan.

With utmost respect, he said, "Second Master, I have reviewed all the relevant surveillance footage in detail. However, the girl in question kept her head down the entire time, and deliberately covered her face with her long hair, so it is difficult to ascertain her true identity."

Huo Siyuan's gaze never wavered from the video playing on the tablet screen as he listened to Feng Chi's report.

As the video played on, his face grew darker, much like the oppressive atmosphere before a storm. However, amidst this endless darkness, there was a faint trace of unnoticeable tenderness.

It turned out that his gaze was fixated on one person in the video—there, a person was wearing a slightly oversized shirt, walking hurriedly and somewhat nervously away.

At that moment, a strange feeling of worry and concern welled up in Huo Siyuan's heart. He thought to himself, wondering if the person had made it home safely or was in a safe place.

Feng Chi, with his keen perception, sensed the subtle shift in the second master's emotions and couldn't help but shiver inwardly.

He kept his head lowered, not daring to make eye contact with Huo Siyuan, and continued to maintain his respectful posture as he spoke again, "Second Master, please allow me a bit more time. I will do everything I can to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

His voice was filled with determination and resolve.

Huo Siyuan's attention remained fixed on the video as if he was trying to imprint every detail deeply into his mind.

His focus was intense, and his hand tightly gripped the mouse, replaying the video again and again. However, despite the captivating scene before him, he only gave a faint reply with a single word: "Mm."

His voice was soft, like a breeze brushing past the leaves of a tree, seemingly not making much of an impact.

Meanwhile, back at the Xia residence, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Xia Tianfu sat quietly at the spacious, bright dining table. His once confident and authoritative face was now overshadowed with a cloud of gloom, making one feel uneasy.

Liu Fang, noticing the change in her husband's mood, became worried and watched him closely, asking with concern, "Darling, what's wrong? Is the company facing some difficult problem?"

Her words revealed endless anxiety.

Hearing this, Xia Lianqing's heart tightened. She hurriedly spoke up, "Dad, what's going on? Tell us! We can all work together to find a solution!"

Her eyes showed deep concern for the family's future, afraid that any disruption could bring unbearable burdens to their seemingly perfect family.

Faced with the concerned questions from his family, Xia Tianfu let out a heavy sigh, as if the weight of the world was pressing down on him.

Then, he slowly spoke, "Last night, I went to negotiate an extremely important business deal, but today, an unforeseen change occurred, causing the deal to fall through. Not only did we lose the opportunity, but we are now burdened with a massive debt of three billion yuan. If we can't raise the funds to cover the shortfall in time, we will be facing bankruptcy..."

At this point, Xia Tianfu's voice quivered slightly, clearly overwhelmed by the immense pressure.

Liu Fang and Xia Lianqing were struck dumb when they heard the word "bankruptcy."

Their eyes widened in shock, as if the entire world had collapsed in an instant.

For the mother and daughter, who were used to a life of luxury, "bankruptcy" meant losing everything—their beautiful clothes, their comfortable mansion, and the credit cards they could use freely would all become distant dreams.

Panic and despair spread like wildfire, plunging them into an unprecedented crisis...

Liu Fang was instantly overcome with intense panic, her voice trembling as she cried out, "Darling! What should we do? We can't go bankrupt..."

Xia Lianqing, with a face full of worry and urgency, fixed her gaze on her father, as if hoping to find a glimmer of hope and comfort from him.

Xia Tianfu's face was grim, but his tone remained relatively calm as he spoke, "There is not no way out..."

Liu Fang, upon hearing this, felt a glimmer of hope and her previously anxious heart began to settle a little.

However, she was still impatient and quickly asked, "What's the plan? Hurry up and tell us!"

Her words were filled with both urgency and a hint of joy—if there was still a way to resolve the issue, it meant that perhaps things hadn't reached the point of no return.

Xia Tianfu slightly turned his head, his gaze scanning over Xia Lianqing who was sitting beside him, before slowly speaking, "Our family once arranged a marriage agreement. At that time, it was agreed that if we married our biological daughter to them, they would invest 500 million into our company as the dowry."

Liu Fang's eyes instantly sparkled with greed when she heard the staggering figure, and she eagerly asked, "So, who exactly are the in-laws?"

Xia Tianfu remained expressionless, responding淡淡地: "Deng Jin."

Upon hearing this name, Liu Fang immediately displayed an unmistakable expression of disdain, sneering, "Is it that Deng Jin from the Deng Group?

Although his family is wealthy, wasn't he involved in a car accident recently, which left him crippled?

Moreover, he is notorious for his lascivious behavior, with an extremely vile character. There's absolutely no way I would let my precious daughter marry such a person!

If we do this, wouldn't we be ruining her entire life?"

As she reached the end of her speech, her emotions grew more intense, and her tone unconsciously rose.

Xia Lianqing had seen the man's picture in gossip magazines and knew a little about him. It was said that he was wild, frivolous, and his appearance was quite repulsive. Without relying on the immense wealth inherited from his ancestors, he would likely be nothing more than a useless waste.

What was worse, this man had now become a cripple! Thinking about this, Xia Lianqing privately swore that she would never, under any circumstances, bind herself to such a useless man.

After all, she had always dreamed of becoming the partner of a business magnate, not spending her life with someone so spineless...

Suddenly, Xia Lianqing's eyes turned red, and tears poured down like a flood. She looked at her mother, Liu Fang, with tear-filled eyes, and cried out in a heart-wrenching tone, "Mom, I really don't want to marry him!"

She hoped that her tragic expression would awaken the little love her mother had for her, causing Liu Fang to plead with her not to marry off her daughter for 500 million.

Seeing her daughter crying so pitifully, Liu Fang's heart ached. She quickly moved forward and tightly embraced her, comforting her gently, "My little darling, don't cry. Mom is here, and I will never let you suffer any injustice. My daughter is so exceptional, she deserves to marry someone like Huo Siyuan, a business giant."

Upon hearing her mother suggest that she marry the second master, Xia Lianqing's face lit up with joy, and she smiled radiantly.

At this moment, Xia Tianfu, having just solved the company's problem, was in a particularly good mood. He nodded happily and agreed, "Mm, mm, that's great! Let's settle it this way. After all, we've raised her with such effort, and now it's time for her to repay us for all the years of nurturing!"

However, just then, Xia Wan, who had been quietly standing at the top of the stairs, turned pale. Her originally white face had turned an ashen green.

It turned out that Xia Wan had also heard of Deng Jin. He was notorious for his debauchery and infamy, and his character was extremely vile.

She never expected that her adoptive father would be so heartless, willing to push her into a fire pit and marry her off to such a despicable man.

Even though she wasn't his biological daughter, they had lived together for 18 years. Didn't he have any love for her at all?

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. Xia Wan, oh Xia Wan, it was time to wake up.
