Patriarch Yu waved his hand, signaling Yu Jing not to rush.
"I hurried back and haven't had dinner yet. Go back to the VIP room and rest first. I'll call for you later."
"The VIP room... Madam Yu only let me stay in the servants' quarters." Yu Jing said it deliberately.
Yu Jing's words made Patriarch Yu pause slightly. "Master Fu, take Yu Jing to the VIP room to rest... Also, Yu Xiaoxiao, go with Yu Jing and stay in the room next door."
"Yes, Father."
Yu Xiaoxiao approached awkwardly and, under Master Fu's guidance, left the terrace.
"You four may leave as well. Don't tell anyone what happened tonight... If I hear that word has gotten out, you'll be dealt with according to the family rules."
"Understood, Patriarch."
After everyone had left, only the husband and wife remained on the terrace.
"Huqin, your intentions were far too obvious... If Yu Jing had died here today, Dean Shen Tu's wrath would have descended upon the Yu family. A Black Card assassin died because of your decision. I hope you'll reflect on that. I've held power in the Dihua Ability Institute these past few years, and the Yu family's development has far surpassed what it once was—by more than tenfold. Some outdated rules should be changed."
"But... rapid development comes with equally great risks, doesn't it?"
In front of Patriarch Yu, Madam Yu's voice became gentle, and she completely reined in her temper.
"The world is about to undergo great upheaval, and the Yu family will be affected as well. Following old rules and shutting ourselves off from the outside world will lead to our destruction... I've watched this young man Yu Jing develop, and Master Fu and I have both seen it clearly. It's necessary for Xiaoxiao to marry him.
