They were both people in charge of their own households. Who among them wasn't an old fox? Ye Xixi would not naively believe that he had specifically called her here just to tease her a little.
Ye Xixi narrowed her eyes slightly, growing wary as she began to wonder what Ning Fengzhi was really after.
Thinking from the perspective that business was about finding a product's core value, Ye Xixi's gaze suddenly sharpened.
This was bad. That old fox wanted to steal my son-in-law!
No, it was probably more than simply stealing her son-in-law. Little Ye Wen already had four fiancées. Under normal circumstances, someone with Ning Fengzhi's background would never come to join the commotion. Now that Ning Fengzhi had specifically summoned her to ask this question, had he seen through their plan to establish a new force?!
Ye Xixi carefully scrutinized Ning Fengzhi several times, privately thinking that he truly deserved his reputation as Heaven Dou's foremost sage.
Her family had only just regained its former prosperity. If someone took a share of this enormous cake while their faction was still in its infancy, it would be an immeasurable loss to the Ye Family. She had to find a way to brush him off.
Her thoughts raced, and Ye Xixi quickly came up with a response. Setting down her teacup, she spoke softly.
"Ah, there's nothing to be done. My daughter has failed to live up to expectations. She's such a love-struck fool that she fell for that boy. You know our family's circumstances. At any given time, there can only be two Nine Heart Begonias.
"As long as nothing happens to me, there is no hope of the family's inherited martial soul being passed on anytime soon. So I simply let that girl do as she pleased.
