The rest of the conversation did not involve Zi Yi.
Zi Xu and He Jingcheng had a lovely chat.
By the time they finished dinner, it was already past 8:00pm. He Jingcheng even invited Zi Yi to hang out at his place sometime.
On their way home, Zi Xu said earnestly, "Since Master He is an open-minded man, you won't get pushed around when you marry into the family. Don't disappoint me."
Zi Yi looked sideways to see Zi Xu reveling in joy. She wanted to talk back but changed her mind.
Since her wonderful father was determined to have her married into the He family, the best way to get back at him was to give him a taste of overwhelming failure.
After they got back to the hotel, Zi Yi went back to her room.
Li Peirong came knocking on her door with a glass of milk.
"How did your meeting go?"
