Watching the convoy slowly pull up in front of the villa in the distance, Zhang Yuanqing stood at the edge of the rooftop, phone in hand, deep in thought.
His mother-in-law's purpose in coming to Songhai was obvious: she was definitely here to take Guan Ya away and cut off all contact between her daughter and Yuanshi Tianzun.
After all, as a rising star of the official faction, he was not someone she could simply kill at will. Taking her daughter away was therefore the best way to snuff out this ill-fated relationship.
A conflict was inevitable.
Although Guan Ya kept saying, "If my mom dares to break us up, I'll turn myself into an orphan."
But making the girl he loved break with her family and parents for his sake was, in itself, a sign of helplessness. Zhang Yuanqing did not want that.
Kind words certainly would not persuade his mother-in-law. Fu Qingyang had already explained the purpose behind Guan Ya's parents' arranged marriage clearly and plainly.
Zhang Yuanqing asked himself honestly: if someone ruined a project of his worth hundreds of billions, he would probably beat their brains out.
"To make my mother-in-law change her mind, I'd have to be a young master from a Spirit Realm Walker family too. I technically am, but my dad and his brothers returned to the Spirit Realm twenty years ago. Now, I only have one older sister from a family friendship whom I can bring out to support me."
