"Xuexue," Old Xu sighed, "Grandfather has really stuck his neck out for you."
"Don't worry, Grandfather," Xu Xuezi took a deep breath, "As long as Yecheng arrives, he won't escape the palm of our hands."
"You too, perform well tonight," Old Xu patted Xu Xuezi's shoulder, "After all, Yecheng is a young man, strong and vigorous, and inevitably impulsive in some matters. Once tonight is over, some things will no longer be up to the Gu Family to decide, but instead will be controlled by our Xu Family."
"Mhm," Xu Xuezi lowered her head, her face bashful, "Your granddaughter will definitely not disappoint you, Grandfather."
...
"Ah, Yecheng," Old Xu sat opposite Yecheng, his face kind and amiable, "You and I have never really had a good sit-down chat, have we?"
Ye Cheng's face showed a faint smile, light as a cloud on a sunny day, breezy and gentle, but his presence was by no means weaker than the elder opposite him. On the contrary, he seemed even more formidable.
