Chapter 604 - 602: Unbelievably, Unable to Meet People
Ye Hongyang took two steps forward, seemingly wanting to intercept Duke An as he urgently said, "Father, please think again. Xinyan is capable. Once she marries into Marquis Jingning’s Mansion, it won’t be long before the mansion prospers. She won’t lead a hard life.
After a hundred years, she will be the wife of the heir apparent of Marquis Jingning, with both status and wealth. Isn’t that a wonderful thing? Father, let’s welcome the guests who came for the wedding ceremony inside. It’s not good to have them wait outside, causing a commotion that might lead to criticism of our household."
Duke An paused in his steps and turned to ask, "You are Xinyan’s father. Before you agreed to this marriage, did you ask for her opinion? If she doesn’t want to marry, can you control her?"
Ye Hongyang immediately retorted, "The command of the parents, how can she have a say in it? Even if I have to tie her up, she will be married off!"
Duke An narrowed his eyes and thought, if that’s the case, then my granddaughter would end up as worthless and spineless as her father, unable to survive the moment she steps outside the home, starving to death on the streets. Only then would she be manipulable, devoid of any ability to resist.
Clearly, his granddaughter was not that kind of person.
......
Ye Xinyan was not the slightest bit interested in the happy event that Ye Hongyang was about to announce. She had been told by Song Ping just yesterday that they had found a shop, and she had planned to go today with Qi Younian to conclude the deal.
