Jiang Zhendong and Wang Min left dejectedly after they ate.

Their mood was dampened after Ye Hao refused to entertain their request and they were extremely upset as they made their way home.

“What do you think we should do? Ye Hao is truly a tough nut to crack. Didn’t you see his expression earlier? He treated us so coldly and looked at us so icily that it was clear he looked down on us. I can’t believe he even mentioned wanting to have a live-in son-in-law. I’m so angry!” she said angrily.

She had barely held in her temper earlier at the Ye family and if it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to be in-laws with the Ye family, she would have blown up at Ye Hao earlier.

Jiang Zhentao’s face was pale and his eyes blazed with anger.

“Ye Hao is making things difficult for us,” he declared.

“Exactly…” Wang Min said as she slammed a fist against the car window. “It was clear from his tone that he meant to do exactly that. He knew that Jiang Cheng was our only child, so how could he expect him to be a live-in son-in-law?”

She was so annoyed that her angry flush spread all the way down to her neck.

They had tried their best to flatter Xi XI’s parents, but they were coldly snubbed.

She felt upset at that thought.

“Alright…” Jiang Zhentao said calmly as he handed his wife a bottle of water. “Drink this and try to calm down. Let’s discuss further after Ah Cheng is back. Xi Xi’s father might be taking such a hardline stance against us, but this doesn’t mean that this is Xi Xi’s intention as well. We don’t have to worry too much if Xi Xi truly loves our son. Moreover, they even have a child between the two of them now.”

Wang Min said, “I hope that’s the case. Let’s try to hold our anger first. Perhaps Xi Xi’s parents had said this in a fit of anger. They can’t possibly blame our son for their daughter’s pregnancy. After all, it takes two hands to clap.”

——

Ye family.

Ye Hao and He Xiyan sat side by side on the sofa and they looked equally upset.

He Xiyan heaved a long sigh and she felt annoyed at the thought of her daughter’s predicament.

She wouldn’t have minded if Jiang Cheng was a reliable man who was sincere about her daughter but she couldn’t see through to Jiang Cheng’s true intentions and Ye Hao wasn’t satisfied with Jiang Cheng as a son-in-law.

“Were you serious when you said that you wanted to get a live-in son-in-law for Xi Xi?” she asked as she turned to look at her husband.

They had never discussed this matter.

Ye Hao grunted in acknowledgment. This was something that he had indeed been considering.

“But we have Mo Mo,” He Xiyan said. Normally, those who would look for live-in sons-in-law were families who didn’t have a biological son or who only had daughters. She didn’t see the need to do so, because they had both a daughter and a son.

Ye Hao gave his wife a pat on the shoulder.

“Yan Yan, I’ve given this matter some thought recently. I’m just as worried that our daughter will be taken advantage of if she marries into another family. Moreover, I’m thinking of grooming our daughter to take over the Ye Group in the future.”

He Xiyan turned to her husband and looked a little puzzled as she asked, “Are you sure?”

Ye Hao nodded and replied, “Yes, Mo Mo is still too young. I don’t want Xi Xi to be taken advantage of if she were to marry into another family.”

He Xiyan was more concerned about her daughter’s happiness and this took precedence over everything else.

“We have to seek Xi Xi’s opinion on this,” she said.

They couldn’t decide on their daughter’s behalf and she wouldn’t force her daughter to do something against her will.

Ye Hao said, “I’ll speak to Xi Xi on this.”
