The Zhu sisters’ expressions changed as well, and they looked at Fang Xi silently. Fang Xi crossed her arms and decided to lay her cards on the table. She knew that, when facing her mother, if she was even just a little bit unclear, it would be giving Xi Yue a chance to exploit.
“Ye Tang is the head of the Ye family,” Fang Xi stated. “I’m afraid the line of people who want to be his wife is long enough to stretch from here to the moon. If he had any intention of getting married, his kids would probably be attending middle school by now. Ms. Xi, the world isn’t under your control. Although the first half of your life was all smooth sailing, it doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want. I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this.”
Xi Yue didn’t care about the mockery in Fang Xi’s words at all and mock-chided, “Oh, look what you’re saying. Seriously, why are you boosting the ferocity of others and discouraging your own family? Of course I’m aware of the things you said.”
She continued, “The reason Ye Tang is still unmarried is because there aren’t any reliable candidates! Think about it, with his status and achievements today, he can’t simply just marry any woman he meets. To someone like him, his future partner’s family background and status isn’t important. What he wants is a sincere woman! However, ten out of ten women who approached him had ulterior motives, so he naturally wouldn’t dare to accept them!”
“Fang Xi, hear me out! He needs a family member like you to introduce him to someone suitable. Part of the reason he’s still single is because he’s so busy that he doesn’t have the time to waste on checking and testing potential candidates. So, this is the best opportunity for your two sisters! With your endorsement, he can accept your sisters without worry!”
Xi Yue’s eyes shone brightly at the prospect she described as she finished speaking. Seeing that, Fang Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “You say that others have impure motives, but aren’t you guys the same?”
Xi Yue lightly swatted Fang Xi’s arm and replied, “Oh, you! Of course we’re not the same! We are your relatives, which makes us his family, so we’re naturally different from those girls outside! It’s best to keep it in the family, after all!”
Fang Xi sighed softly. ‘Trying to reason with them is a useless venture before this group of relatives who’d come prepared, so there’s no need for me to waste my breath.’
She got up to leave, saying, “I’m sorry. I can’t help you with this. I don’t have such ability!”
Zhu An stood up and asked anxiously, “Fang Xi, you think we’re not good enough for Mr. Ye, don’t you?”
Fang Xi looked at Zhu An, who had a look of desperate eagerness on her face, but didn’t say anything. Her gaze had Zhu An bite her lip and lower her head. Fang Xi turned around and made to leave when Xi Yue shouted angrily, “Stop right there! What do you mean, hm? You think our Anna and Lina aren’t good enough for Ye Tang? If even you can manage to marry Ye Kun, on what grounds are they not good enough for Ye Tang? In what way are they not better than you?”
Fang Xi paused and turned to look at her biological mother. The mother and daughter stared at each other, Xi Yue with a face full of anger, while Fang Xi was calm. The sorrow deep in her eyes didn’t move her mother at all.
Xi Yue ranted, “You’ve been with Xi Cheng for so many years and you can still manage to marry into the Ye family in the end. Ye Kun doesn’t even mind your past relationship, and Madam Ye can accept you, so why can’t our clean and pure Anna and Lina be good enough for Ye Tang? I’m not asking you to do anything else, I just want you to introduce them. And yet, here you are, making excuses and assuming airs! What are you so smug about?!”
Fang Xi clenched her hands into tight fists and gritted her teeth to stop herself from trembling before coldly stating, “You guys should find someone else to help you. I don’t have the ability!”
She turned around and walked away, shaking off Zhu Li’s outstretched hand and throwing Xi Yue’s scolding to the back of her mind.
The night wind blew gently. Fang Xi finally let out the breath she had been holding in. The blood that seemed to have frozen in her veins started flowing again. Supporting herself with her hand on the pillar at the entrance of the hotel, she panted heavily. Tears flowed down her cheeks without restraint.
“Fang Xi!” Yun Nan’s car stopped right beside her. Yun Nan lowered the car window and said to Fang Xi, “Come on, get in here.”
Fang Xi got into the car. Yun Nan didn’t ask anything and started the car. Fang Xi took out some tissues to wipe away the tears on her face. After she calmed down, she spoke: “She asked me to introduce her two stepdaughters to Big Bro Ye Tang. She wants them to marry into the Ye family.”
Yun Nan was surprised. “She wants them both to marry him?”
Fang Xi shook her head. “No, that’s not it. The two of them have the capability to compete fairly. Mother paved the way for them, but she won’t let them benefit so easily. How will she have the opportunity to show she’s doing her best as their stepmother if everything goes so smoothly for them?”
“Not only that, but she’ll also brainwash her two stepdaughters and make them fight among themselves, but she’ll play both sides so both of them will be grateful to her. That is the kind of person Ms. Xi Yue is! Hmph!”
Yun Nan glanced at Fang Xi. “You rejected her?”
“I won’t let them latch onto the Ye Family,” Fang Xi said coldly. “That would be a disaster!”
Yun Nan nodded lightly and slowly remarked, “But, evil should be dealt with by evil. Big Bro Ye Tang is too innocent; we can’t drag him down into this. As for the others… Why don’t we divert this disaster elsewhere?”
