Wang Fengbao was rich now. His parents were elderly, and he practically made all the decisions in the family. He had set his sights high, and ordinary girls no longer suited him.

Actually, most of the girls of suitable age in the village would be willing to marry him. Even the families that had no daughters wanted to introduce their relatives’ daughters to him. Who wouldn’t want to live in the lap of luxury?

But Wang Fengbao had not fancied any of them. He fancied the only female university student in the village, Han Jing!

Han Jing was pretty and a student at Beijing University. In this era, university students were very valuable. Besides, Han Jing was studying at the most famous university in the entire country.

A young, pretty, female university student. Wang Fengbao felt that only a girl like that was worthy of him. So he was happy to marry Han Jing and was very sincere about it.

Han Jing had heard Mother Han say such things many times. She had ceased reacting long ago. She said coldly, “No need, I won’t marry him.”

Mother Han immediately raged, “What? What did you say? You won’t marry him? Why shouldn’t you marry him? Do you know how much dowry the Wang family will give us? Their family is willing to give us a small villa! With the villa, your brother will have no problem finding a bride in the future!

“Look at the terrible state our family is in. How will your brother get married in the future?”

Han Jing said, “So? You’re prepared to sell me so that my younger brother can marry?”

Mother Han fumed, “What do you mean ‘sell you’? I’m marrying you off. Men and women get married when they grow up. At your age, you should have been married long ago. If you weren’t pretty and a university student, the Wang family would not be willing to marry you!”

“Let me tell you, I’ve already agreed to the match. Your younger brother must have that little villa.”

When Han Jing saw how biased her mother was, she could not be bothered to argue with her. She said bluntly, “No need. I will never marry Wang Fengbao. Anything you say is useless.

“I have a boyfriend now, and he’s richer than the Wang family. His family runs their own business, and his brother-in-law is a government official!

“Don’t meddle in my affairs. If you offend my boyfriend, even the Wang family won’t be able to bear the consequences, much less you!”

Father and Mother Han were both bewildered.

Mother Han said, “You… what did you say? You have a boyfriend?”

Father Han said, “And he’s a government official too?”

Han Jing said, “His brother-in-law is an official, and their family is very rich and powerful. I’m a student at Beijing University. I will only have a future if I marry a man like that. So, don’t spoil it, or I will never let you hear the end of it!”

In this era, university students were very valuable. They were worth their weight in gold. If a child from an ordinary family could get into a university, it would really change their whole life.

Besides, Han Jing was a student at Beijing University. Although her family was very poor, she would definitely be successful in the future.

Any family with a university student was proud of it.

Han Jing knew what her parents were like, so she emphasized, “I’m not bluffing you. He really likes me. So you had better not randomly introduce me to potential matches. If you anger him, our family will be in trouble.

“Important people like him are all very particular about their honor. If the woman he fancies is forced by her family to marry someone else, it will be clear that our family despises him. I won’t be responsible for the consequences.

“If the Wang family dares to forcibly marry me, they will definitely be in trouble.”

Father and Mother Han scarcely dared to believe their ears.

“He… he’s even richer than the Wang family?”
