"Oh, is someone from the Fang family here? Let's go, hurry and meet them."
Madam Ye was ecstatic, but after taking only a few steps, she stopped short. Her eyes widened. "What did you say? Say it again!"
The steward hurried to explain, "The Fang family says they won't be coming to propose marriage anymore."
How could this be? Madam Ye felt as if she'd been struck by lightning, and her vision went dark. The Fang family was their last hope. Have even the Fang family refused them now? Who else can save the Clan Leader? She was utterly devastated.
Ye Ruxue shook her head frantically. "That's impossible! Fang Fan likes Third Sister so much. How could he not come to propose?"
The others were just as puzzled. Everyone on Dragon Island knew how deeply Fang Fan adored Ye Qingwu. It was unthinkable that he would give up; it made no sense at all.
The steward said, "Because Fang Fan is dead."
The news stunned everyone present into silence. They were all dumbfounded.
