Qu Fulan indeed had a deep impression of Miss Tan; during that trip to Hanshan Temple, if she hadn't made such excessive demands, the Pei and Tan families might already be engaged by now.
But sadly, ifs don't exist. Since she made such demands, it shows she wasn't satisfied with Mr. Pei's son. Who would dare marry her back then?
Mr. Pei also resolutely refused, and now that she's come again, it seems a bit shameless.
However, the Tan Family wasn't foolish and knew to bring the Liu Family along, which made it less abrupt.
And this Miss Liu was the same Miss Liu Ying that Qu Fulan had seen when Mr. Pei went to Sunset Lake for a match-making event.
Back then, the Liu mother and daughter had even gone to the private room to pay respects to the old lady. Later, Qu Fulan heard that the Liu Family intended to arrange a marriage with Heir Pei, but the Princely Heir refused, even citing political positions, and the old lady did not agree to the marriage.
