Xu Shichang shook his head again and said, "But I failed because my authority was insufficient. Renhai, do you know what this ans? It ans that Mr. Ye’s identity is far more terrifying than we imagined. This is beyond what money can uncover; perhaps only the most elite group in the world is qualified to inquire about Ye Xuan’s identity."
"Now, do you understand why I knowingly let Ye Xuan’s affairs with Miaomiao happen? In fact, I actually look forward to sothing happening between them. This way, the Xu Family would have an unshakable backing. Compared to Ye Xuan, the He Family is nothing."
Through his father’s explanation, Xu Renhai fully understood why his father was so calm.
However, he still couldn’t help but ask, "But that Ye Xuan is already married and has so many won..."
Upon hearing Xu Renhai’s words, Xu Shichang couldn’t help but snort and said, "So what? It’s normal for an outstanding man to have a lot of won around. Moreover, entrusting Lingyue to Ye Xuan gives peace of mind—better than you making her a sacrificial piece and marrying her to that useless Zheng Xian."
As soon as Xu Shichang finished speaking, Xu Renhai’s complexion turned particularly complicated.
If there’s sothing he regrets the most in his life, it’s probably this matter.
Swayed by Xu Renjie’s sche, and for the Xu Family’s benefit, he agreed to the He’s marriage proposal.
The result? It turned out this was all part of Xu Renjie’s conspiracy, and he himself was deceived by that bastard.
Most frustrating to him was that because of this incident, Xu Lingyue ended up having a rift with him.
Though they usually got along well, Xu Renhai could keenly sense the invisible crack between them.
Perhaps due to guilt towards Xu Lingyue, Xu Renhai was particularly concerned about her marriage, hoping his daughter could have a good future.
But can Ye Xuan be considered a good match?
Seeing Xu Renhai silent, Xu Shichang snorted and said, "Can’t you see? Lingyue’s heart is already with Ye Xuan. If you try to separate them, she might hate you forever!"
Xu Renhai frowned, saying, "But, Ye Xuan is too fickle."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shichang scoffed coldly and said, "So what? Don’t tell you don’t have other won besides your wife?"
Pointed by his father at his secret, Xu Renhai’s face turned red instantly, saying, "Father, we are talking about Lingyue!"
"Yes, exactly about her. Although Ye Xuan is fickle, after these days of interaction, I can tell he is a responsible person. Entrusting Lingyue to him won’t be a loss," Xu Shichang said calmly.
Seeing Xu Renhai still intending to argue, Xu Shichang abruptly interrupted with a commanding tone, "In any case, this matter is settled. As for what happens in the future, let it be. You are not allowed to interfere."
Feeling the undeniable tone in his father’s words, Xu Renhai could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay then!"
Just then, a bodyguard rushed in and loudly reported, "Report to the Family Head, Du Family Head Du Zhong has arrived with his grandson Du Xingming to visit the Family Head."
Upon hearing this, Xu Renhai’s brows furrowed imdiately, saying, "The Du Family visiting the Xu Family at this ti probably harbors so ill intent!"
Xu Shichang’s eyes revealed a perceptive look, and he snorted mockingly, "Knowing Du Zhong’s greedy personality, this ti he’s likely here to take advantage of the Xu Family."
The bodyguard hurriedly asked, "Family Head, should we let them in?"
Xu Shichang laughed heartily and said, "Of course, let them in. I want to hear how that old fox from the Du Family plans to exploit us!"
At the sa ti.
In the Yunqi Villa guest room.
The Du Family Head, Du Zhong, and Wu Maoli were seated on a sofa.
Compared to the calm and steady Du Zhong, Wu Maoli appeared much more immature, feeling uneasy after sitting for a while.
He asked worriedly, "Grandfather, do you think the Xu Family head will agree to our demands?"
Upon hearing this, Du Zhong revealed a confident smile and said, "He wouldn’t dare refuse! The Xu Family is in dire straits right now; if they don’t get external help, they probably won’t last three months! In such circumstances, does the Xu Family have any option other than seeking help from the Du Family? Although our demands are a bit excessive, it’s better than the Xu Family being annihilated. Xu Shichang is a wise man; he knows how to choose."
Hearing this, excitent appeared on Du Xingming’s face, and he said, "Grandfather, does that an the Xu Family will marry Xu Lingyue to ?"
Du Zhong patted the back of Du Xingming’s head and said irritably, "You useless kid, once our Du Family obtains the Xu Family’s wealth, even He Zhipeng won’t compare to you. You can have any woman you want; why fixate on Xu Lingyue from the Xu Family? Haven’t you suffered enough humiliation from her?"
Du Xingming chuckled, "Hehe, for , the unattainable is the best."
Seeing his grandson’s playful deanor, Du Zhong shook his head in so headache and said, "Don’t worry, to families like ours, daughters are rely sacrificial pieces, just tools for alliance. Just paying with one Xu Lingyue can get you as a son-in-law, a bargain the Xu Family would know how to choose."
Grandfather’s words made Du Xingming’s smile much brighter.
Thinking of Xu Lingyue’s proud figure and angelic face, Du Xingming beca increasingly excited.
The thought that soon, this beauty would be his wife made him feel like he was floating.
"Du Family Head, Du Young Master, our Family Head invites you."
A bodyguard walked into the guest room and respectfully spoke to the two.
Du Zhong’s brows slightly furrowed, snorting coldly, "I didn’t expect after not seeing him for a few years, Xu Shichang has beco more arrogant. Hmph, the Xu Family has deteriorated to this state, yet he still carries this annoying arrogance."
Du Zhong’s voice was loud enough for the bodyguard to hear.
However, the bodyguard acted as if he heard nothing, leading the two towards Xu Shichang’s villa.
"Stop the car! Stop the car at once!"
Suddenly, Du Xingming seed to have caught a glimpse of sothing as his eyes lit up with excitent, and he shouted suddenly.
"What’s the matter?" Du Zhong asked.
Du Xingming replied excitedly, "Grandfather, I see Xu Lingyue."
Du Zhong looked into the distance and indeed saw a young woman walking on the street, instinctively ignoring the man next to her, assuming him to be Xu Lingyue’s bodyguard.
