Cao Lin wore an expression of surprise but said nothing: "..."
He clearly didn't understand why his father would suddenly say such things. Wasn't it clear to everyone in the circle the reason why Yu Jingrong was seeking the carving rights to the Imperial green jade? That was obviously in preparation to marry Li Chengyun.
His father, Cao Mengfan continued: "Those four Jade Carver Masters will leave the Cao Family sooner or later. If you were to marry her, wouldn't you be able to keep them? Plus, her jade carving skills should be superior to those four masters. Yu Tianxiang would definitely reserve a trick or two to pass on only to his own daughter. Besides, she is a very wise woman that knows to adapt. You can't handle the Jade Stone Company in the old-fashioned way anymore, you need to innovate. I'm not looking down on you, but honestly, you really are lacking in innovation, still sticking to traditional methods."
