"No way!" Luo Ye answered without thinking.
"Why?" Zhu Hongyu looked puzzled, "Although the public doesn’t have a great opinion of Feng Tuan, to be fair, he’s genuine.
Whether as a rade, a friend, or a lover, he’s an excellent choice. Why are you so quick to dismiss him?"
"At that time, there was an irreconcilable misunderstanding between my family and his family, even if we met, it wouldn’t develop in the direction you’re thinking." Luo Ye explained simply.
"Oh, oh..." Zhu Hongyu slapped her head understandingly, "I remember now, Grandpa mentioned this once before.
But, speaking of which, Old Man Feng really showed sincerity, sending his own son to the Wen Family for resolution years later. As of now, the relationship between the Wen Family and the Feng Family should have eased, right?"
Luo Ye gave her a sidelong glance: "What do you think?"
Zhu Hongyu thought for a moment and understood what she meant: "That’s true, if it weren’t for petition with the Ye Family, Old Man Feng wouldn’t have taken such actions.
But, I believe that Old Man Feng definitely did this without Feng Tuan’s knowledge. Given Feng Tuan’s character, he definitely wouldn’t accept being used as a marriage bargaining chip by Old Man Feng."
"You seem to know Feng Tianzhi quite well."
"Of course, we’ve known each other since we were very young and worked together for so long. As for him, how should I put it?" Zhu Hongyu contemplated seriously for a while, "You can’t categorize him as a bad person, but you can’t categorize him as a good person either.
He’s just a very straightforward person, often acting in unexpected ways, but one thing’s for sure: once you’ve bee his friend or rade, you can pletely trust him to have your back.
He’s always protective, sometimes even protectively lacking principles, which might be the fundamental reason for his bad reputation... "
Luo Ye interrupted her: "Why are we back to talking about him again? Sister Zhu, you should focus on your own matters."
"What is there to think about my matters? It’s your friend’s situation that truly requires some thought. Marriage isn’t child’s play; marrying the wrong person can ruin a lifetime."
Zhu Hongyu successfully redirected the topic back to Tang Luo.
"Thinking doesn’t help with this." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "I’ve already instructed my two friends to spend more time with her, hoping for good news when they return."
"This isn’t like you..." Zhu Hongyu sized her up, "Based on what I know of you, you shouldn’t be this cold-blooded."
"Cold-blooded?" Luo Ye chuckled, "The fact that you can even think of that, tell me, am I really in any position to pat Tang Luo on the shoulder and tell her to break up?
The most I can do is advise her to think it through. Besides, when outsiders offer advice, it can sometimes feel like they’re speaking with no pain in standing. I’ll refrain from saying too much for now."
"Pfft!" Zhu Hongyu laughed, "Did she say you were talking with no pain in standing?"
"Exactly." Luo Ye also laughed, "That girl is bewitched right now. She’ll snap at anyone who tries to persuade her. Let her calm down first."
"Then why are you letting your two friends try to persuade her?" Zhu Hongyu nudged her with her shoulder, "Now I get it, you’re mischievous too."
Luo Ye smiled wryly, "If I weren’t caught up in all this mess, I’d acpany her even if she yelled at me. But given my current situation, I don’t want to drag others into it."
"Got it." Zhu Hongyu patted her head, "I knew it, you shouldn’t be that cold-blooded; you’re worried the Xia family will use the Tang Family to tie you down?"
"I think that people of that stature shouldn’t resort to such tactics, right? Nevertheless, it’s better to be cautious.
The Tang Family has an important bid going on, and I don’t want my involvement to cause them any loss, so..." Luo Ye paused, not continuing.
"If someone really wanted to use this situation to tie you down, it wouldn’t be hard to find out, but given his status, he probably wouldn’t.
Nonetheless, you’re right to be cautious." Zhu Hongyu sighed lightly, "Luo Ye, sometimes I get the illusion that you’re not just twenty years old; your maturity level could easily rival a thirty-year-old."
"Why do I find your words so awkward, are you implying I’m mentally old?" Luo Ye said half-jokingly.
"Maturity and old age are two different concepts, you get what I mean, but..." Zhu Hongyu pinched Luo Ye’s young cheek, "tell me, how do you maintain it? The last time we went on a mission, your skin was already great but nothing like now. How did you e back from a mission reborn?"
