Chapter 533: Useless Jia Liang
However, Lin Chuxia could also sense from Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu that Liu Na’s parents somewhat favored boys over girls.
In this era, prioritizing boys over girls is quite common, especially with Liu Na having an older brother and sister, as well as a younger sister, making it easy for her to be overlooked.
She could also understand why Feng Zhong could easily deceive Liu Na with just a few sweet words.
If she couldn’t get attention at home, she would easily fall for someone who sweet-talked her, thinking the person was the best in the world to her, desperately wanting to give them her heart.
The engagement ceremony went smoothly. Initially, the Liu Family didn’t think much of Hou Xiaobao, being an outsider without even a house in Yan City, and without a stable job.
But upon learning that he had an elder brother who was a restaurant manager, a friend who was a mall manager, and a small position at Huamei Mall, they reluctantly accepted him.
Once they saw Jia Liang and Lin Chuxia actually attend his engagement ceremony, any reluctance disappeared.
At the engagement ceremony, the two parties agreed on a wedding date for next month.
Initially, Hou Xiaobao considered how the mall would be busy before the New Year and thought of having the wedding after the New Year.
However, the Liu Family rejected this.
There’s a local custom there of not getting engaged in the twelfth lunar month or marrying in the first month of the lunar year.
After the New Year would be the first month; although Liu Na wasn’t the favored child at home, no parents want anything but the best for their children, and naturally, they wished for good fortune for their daughter’s future.
