This person was none other than Xia Bing, the youngest daughter of the Xia Family. She and Qiao Lianhua had been close friends since childhood, but they also had their fair share of comparisons and competition along the way.
Recently, the matter of Qiao Lianhua's marriage had been put on the schedule by Mrs. Ji, who had just finalized the arrangement with Tofu Zhang from the town.
In fact, it was just that Qiao Lianhua had high standards; the families Mrs. Ji had found for her were all quite well-off. It was only because her elder sister on her mother's side had some connections that she could secure such a favorable match—a match that others could only dream of obtaining.
Naturally, Xia Bing was one of those who desired but could not have such a match.
