Tian Xingyun confronts Ziyang about his relationship with Tianxin. Ziyang confesses he dated Li Xuanxuan to suppress his feelings for Tianxin, but Tian Xingyun warns him against pursuing Tianxin due to the Huo Family's rules and Tianxin's immaturity. Ziyang refuses to break up with Tianxin, despite his own fears about her fleeting affection. Tian Xingyun proposes a bet, sending Ziyang abroad for a month to test Tianxin's feelings.

Adjacent to him, I extended my hand to gently massage his shoulders. "Is something troubling you at the company? You returned home and immediately lost your temper!"

The two young sons were startled by his outburst and came to me with their complaints!

"Recently, the Ye Group has returned to the country and is planning a collaboration with our company," Huo Shaohua stated irritably, his voice thick with anger.

"The Ye Group? The very company you mentioned before, said to be on par with the Huo Family and the Li Group in terms of strength?"

"That’s right!"

"Isn't it a good thing for them to collaborate with our company?"

"Good my foot!" Huo Shaohua snapped back harshly.

"Why are you yelling at me!" Tian Xingyun was rendered speechless and withdrew her hand from his shoulders.

"I’m not yelling at you; I’m just excessively angry," Huo Shaohua quickly clasped Xingyun’s hand, attempting to explain.

"Even if you are angry, you shouldn't take it out on your wife and children!"

"It’s all Chairman Ye’s doing; his terms are far too unreasonable!" Huo Shaohua declared through clenched teeth.

"What kind of terms?" Tian Xingyun’s brow furrowed. Could it possibly be a fifty-fifty profit split after the collaboration?

"He wants Tianxin!"

"What?!" Tian Xingyun gasped, her face instantly paling. She immediately exclaimed, "You wouldn't possibly agree to that, would you? That old man actually wants to marry our Tianxin? What a joke!"

It infuriated her; Chairman Ye was old enough to be Tianxin’s father!

"How could I possibly agree to such a thing!"

"Shaohua, you cannot possibly sacrifice our daughter for the sake of profit! She is our one and only precious daughter!" Tian Xingyun pleaded, her voice laced with worry, fearing that Shaohua might act like those ruthless businessmen.

Over the years, she had witnessed numerous instances where companies resorted to arranged marriages solely for profit.

Irrespective of the children’s willingness, they would push for marriage as long as it benefited the company’s interests!

She absolutely refused to let her child undergo such an ordeal; even if the Huo Family faced bankruptcy, she would not permit it!

Besides, the Huo Family was already well-established; there was no need for a marriage of convenience.

"Wife, you think too poorly of me! How could I possibly send our daughter into a lion’s den!" Huo Shaohua gazed at Xingyun, feeling a sense of speechlessness. After so many years together, she still harbored doubts about him.

"At worst, we simply won't collaborate with the Ye Group. Our Huo Family is hardly impoverished!" Tian Xingyun declared with a mix of anger and disdain.

"My wife is correct," Huo Shaohua nodded in agreement. Indeed, his wife was right.

They truly had no need to join forces with the Ye Group. Offering courtesy to Chairman Ye was merely a strategic move to avoid creating another adversary.

If Chairman Ye chose to be hostile, he would not hesitate in his actions.

He was resolute in his decision not to jeopardize his daughter’s happiness for any financial gain.

"That Chairman Ye is truly shameless! At his age, still desiring to marry Tianxin!"

"Wife, you have misunderstood. The one who wishes to marry Tianxin is not Chairman Ye himself, but his son!" Huo Shaohua clarified, finding Xingyun’s misinterpretation of Chairman Ye rather amusing.

He had initially considered not explaining but then decided it would be better to do so.

This was to prevent any potential misunderstandings when Xingyun eventually met Mrs. Ye in the future.

"He has a son? I was under the impression he had no children?" Tian Xingyun expressed considerable surprise. Did Chairman Ye and his wife not have any offspring?

How could a son suddenly appear!

"A son from a previous girlfriend; he was only recently discovered."

"There are actually things like this!" Tian Xingyun was even more astonished.

This was too dramatic, simply unbelievable!

"Yes."

"What does Chairman Ye’s son look like?"

"I couldn't ascertain that. Chairman Ye has been exceptionally discreet; he wants us to bring Tianxin to the Ye family's banquet the day after tomorrow, where they will formally announce the young master’s identity."

"Then let’s go. I am genuinely curious to see what Chairman Ye’s son looks like!" Tian Xingyun’s curiosity about Chairman Ye’s son was piqued.

If the circumstances allowed, perhaps they could even forge an alliance through marriage~
