Huang's father was extremely surprised. "How could this be? Xiaojue has never mentioned it before."
"How dare he? He's been deceiving us! It's quite a coincidence, really. An acquaintance of mine knows Yan's mother. We had a casual chat this morning, and somehow, we started talking about her. It was quite an eye-opener! I found out all about the Yan Family. They were quite well-off in the old days. However, five years ago, her father fatally injured someone in an accident, and they lost all their wealth in the ensuing settlement. The father who caused the accident died long ago, leaving only her terminally ill mother. They're desperately poor. If our son marries this woman, won't his life be ruined?"
Huang's father was dismissive. "Isn't that a bit much? My dear, don't you think you're exaggerating?"
