Shi Niannian did not speak but focused her gaze on An Yining.
Ling Yichen also looked towards An Yining.
Grandma Ling followed their gazes to look over as well.
An Yining felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Ling Yongan glanced at her and asked, "What did you want with Niannian?"
"I went to see how she was doing. Is it wrong to come into the Ling Family?" An Yining said.
"Mom, how much were you planning to offer Niannian to leave me?" Ling Yichen suddenly asked.
An Yining glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shi Niannian lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.
Ling Yongan saw Shi Niannian's small movement, and something inside him was struck again. He said to An Yining in a forceful tone, "I've said that you shouldn't meddle in Yichen and Niannian's affairs. We, the Ling Family, no longer need to secure our economic status through marriage alliances. Yichen will marry whoever he likes!"
