Ye Fugui thought, sighed and nodded.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she couldn't believe that Ye Zhaoyan compromised so easily? Wasn't she desperate and had to marry Jingli to stop the rumors?

But the determination in her eyes didn't look like she was pretending.

She trembled her lips and said, "Zhaoyan, you... do you know that we are here to help you? Apart from Jing Li, there is no one in the Ye family..."

"I understand Madam's good intentions, but I have made up my mind not to discuss the marriage for the time being." Ye Zhaoyan lowered his eyes to hide the cold light in his eyes.

Mrs. Xu choked, and after a moment, she suddenly knelt at Ye Fugui's feet, raised her head and begged: "Sister, I know you are angry, but... I am doing this for your own good. Over the years, we have been

I hope Jingli can get married, but..."

Ye Fugui looked down at Mr. Xu, his eyes filled with sadness: "Madam, please don't use these words to try to distract me." She took a deep breath, "I just ask you, who are you in such a hurry to get married for? Is it for Mr. Ye?

As a clan, or for yourselves?"

Xu was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Of course it's for Zhaoyan, I also feel sorry for her now..."

Ye Fugui shook his head, "Ask yourself, do you really love Zhaoyan?"

Xu's pupils shrank and she was speechless.

"You only care about yourself, and in order to let you join the Ye family, have you ever asked Zhaoyan how he feels?" Ye Fugui said coldly, "Zhaoyan doesn't need your hypocritical heartache."

Xu's face turned pale and she wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by a colder voice.

"Madam, there is no need to hide it anymore. I know exactly whose future it is for." Ye Zhaoyan said.

Mrs. Xu suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes: "You... what are you talking nonsense! I am doing this all for your honor! I am your elder, how dare you question my kindness to you?"

"I know Madam's good intentions towards me." Ye Zhaoyan looked indifferent, "But, if it weren't for Ye Jingli's career, why would Madam take so much trouble?"

"You!" Mrs. Xu was trembling with anger, "You girl... how dare you slander me like this! Even if I do this, I am thinking about you two after all. Jingli is your future husband-in-law. He is good.

Isn’t that good for you?”

Seeing that she was extremely angry, Ye Zhaoyan smiled faintly, did not answer the question, and asked: "May I ask, madam, have you ever shown any affection to Zhaoyan or the Ye family in these years?"

If Ye Wenxuan hadn't invited Ye Jingli out this time, Ye Zhaoyan wouldn't have known that their mother and son had received so much care.

And for so many years, Ye Mansion has not received any greetings from Ye Jingli's mother and son, not even gifts or greetings. It can be seen that the two of them feel at ease with Ye Mansion's benefits and have no sense of gratitude at all.

The Ye family didn't owe Ye Jingli anything, but he owed the Ye family and failed Ye Wenxuan's care.

Mrs. Xu was speechless. After a long while, she said, "Aren't Jingli and I here to repay our kindness..."

Ye Zhaoyan seemed to have expected that she would come up with such a poor excuse, so he said unceremoniously: "Madam, please don't forget that I am the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Even without you, relying on the Ye family's wealth, I can still find a wife."

A beautiful marriage. It’s okay if you don’t want this marriage.”

This is true. With the Ye family's status in Jindu, they can indeed find a good marriage for Ye Zhaoyan, and it is not impossible for Ye Jingli to do so.

This is a hint to Mrs. Xu, who is the only legitimate daughter of the Ye family and has a noble background. She chose Ye Jingli to marry.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu's cheeks flushed instantly, "You're talking like this before you even walk through the door. Do you think you're taking me as your mother-in-law seriously?"

"Madam has misunderstood." Ye Zhaoyan said calmly, "What I mean is that this marriage is over and there is no need for madam to repay her."

"Zhaoyan, you... you are so confused!" Mrs. Xu said angrily, "Do you know that your marriage is related to the entire Ye family. If you insist on breaking off the engagement, it will definitely affect your reputation, and no one will dare to come to ask for help.

Marry, you are like this..."

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Mr. Xu's expression of regret and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry. I will choose a good marriage and will never wrong myself."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe it, and then said angrily after a while: "So, you don't want to get married?"

Ye Zhaoyan was calm and calm: "Why should Madam be excited? Zhaoyan just feels that the strong will is not sweet, and we cannot wrong an outstanding man like Ye Jingli."

Mrs. Xu was so congested that she almost lost her breath. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at Ye Zhaoyan: "We came sincerely, but you treated us like this. I must let the elders of the clan do justice in this matter...

.”

Ye Zhaoyan ignored Mrs. Xu's expression of being so angry that she was about to faint, and turned around and ordered Zhuyu: "Carry out the last gift and send it back to Mrs. Xu's house, and send someone to deliver a message to the clan elder. If there are any consequences, I, Ye Zhaoyan, will bear the consequences.

"

As soon as she finished speaking, several women outside the house came in, glanced at Mrs. Xu coldly, and walked away towards the warehouse.

When Mrs. Xu saw that she was really going to break up with him, she couldn't help but cry. She scolded and chased after her, "Ye Zhaoyan, why are you so rebellious and unfilial! I want to tell General Ye!"

Just as Ye Zhaoyan was about to go out, he bumped into Ye Jingli, who looked extremely pale.

With a hint of apology and guilt on his face, he bowed to Ye Zhaoyan and said, "Miss, my mother-in-law made a mistake. I will apologize to you on her behalf. I hope that you, sir, will forgive her if you have enough."

Hearing his words, Aunt Zhou, who was standing next to Ye Zhaoyan, couldn't help but snorted coldly, no longer full of admiration as she had just walked in.

It seems that the future brother-in-law selected from the side branch is also a good thing.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Ye Jingli, pursed his lips slightly, and showed a bit of disappointment: "Do you also think that I am arrogant and domineering and have bullied my wife?"

Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of pride between her brows, which made her even more elegant and charming, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Ye Jingli's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he said, "Miss...Although my mother-in-law said the wrong thing, she just cares about you. This marriage is important to you.

It's just right, I don't want you to ruin this opportunity just because of your anger."

Ye Zhaoyan sneered: "You really impress me."

What she said was somewhat meaningful. Ye Jingli was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "What do you mean by this, Miss?"

Ye Zhaoyan stared at Ye Jingli for a while, and then slowly uttered a sentence: "I was just thinking that with your personality, if you really become the Ye family's son-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be content with the status quo."

"Why do you say that?"

Ye Zhaoyan didn't say anything else. She walked straight to the window and looked at the plum blossom tree in the yard, her expression a little misty.

Not far away, Mrs. Xu was still crying, but Mr. Qi had already brought Ye Mansion's token to drive them away.

"You are so cruel! I'm going to find the clan elder!" Mrs. Xu stumbled to her feet, clutching her chest, angrily throwing away her sleeves and walking away, as if she was running away.

Ye Fugui couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Zhaoyan..."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled and held her hand tightly: "Mom, don't worry, I will handle this matter."
