When Xu Zhaoyue arrived at her father's place, she saw him and Zhao Yuanyuan drinking tea and waiting for her as soon as she entered. "Give it to me," Xu Zhaoyue said, reaching out to Xiaonan. A file folder appeared in her hand.

"Father, what do you need me for? Oh, you could have called ahead. It's really not right of me to make you wait for me while I'm out."

As Xu Zhaoyue spoke, she walked over and sat down. She casually opened the document bag, but instead of handing it out, she placed it beside her.

Zhao Yuanyuan sneered, "Xiaoyue, what are you saying? If we hadn't come back suddenly, would we have known that you and that butler went out alone? You made us so worried, Master, don't you think?"

Xu Guangcai snorted, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhao Yuanyuan turned her attention to Xu Zhaoyue, saying, "Xiaoyue, you can't do anything foolish."

Xu Zhaoyue naturally refused, "What foolish thing have I done? Can you tell me?"

“You child, you went out alone with a man for a whole day and there’s no problem with that? Chen Yun from the Chen family is the same. She dated a junior reporter before, but the man ended up with another woman. She’s really a disgrace to the Chen family.”

"Oh, it seems your information isn't very accurate either. What would I be doing bringing so many people to the Fang family? Going to fight? Besides, do you dare repeat what you just said about Chen Yun in front of the Chen family?" Xu Zhaoyue sneered.

Zhao Yuanyuan is belittling her by belittling her friend. Xu Zhaoyue has always been very tolerant of her, but she just wants to take advantage of her son's good fortune and become a rich lady in the future.

She encouraged her daughter, Xu Zhaoming, to act as a pawn in front of others, while protecting her son, Xu Zhaohao, like a precious treasure, so that her son could have a legitimate title in each family, while she would hide behind Xu Guangcai and pretend not to know anything.

Xu Zhaoyue had long since figured out her plan, but it wouldn't work without Xu Guangcai's support.

"Father, you can't let her talk about my friend like that. I can just listen to it and that's fine. I know she wouldn't dare say it in front of the Chen family, but what if someone who's on good terms with the Chen family hears this?"

Xu Zhaoyue's words were ambiguous, but she couldn't guarantee who would tell the Chen family; she might go and tell them herself in a couple of days.

"Alright, we don't need to bring too many people to the Fang family's house today. But there's an extra horse in the mansion. What do you say about that?" Xu Guangcai changed the subject.

This new question was not easy to answer, but Xu Zhaoyue was not afraid. "Hmm? It's just raising a horse, it's not like we don't have the money."

"Is it a matter of whether you can afford to keep the horse? They said it was bought for you by that guy surnamed Yue, is that true?" Xu Guangcai tapped the table with his ring to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.

Xu Zhaoyue nodded frankly, "Yes."

Her frank attitude left Xu Guangcai speechless with his subsequent questions. He took a breath and asked again, "Then you said that he's just a steward with a low salary, so why did he buy you a horse—no, a carriage? What's the purpose of that?"

"Just make me happy. It's just a carriage. If I'm happy, I can give him five or six times the price." Xu Zhaoyue said it as if it were a matter of course, and she certainly had the ability to do so.
