If the Xie family were truly sensible, they should cherish Xie Ziyuan.

If you really offend Xie Ziyuan, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Shen family in the capital?

Madam Huo the Second: "Alright, that's enough. Your fiancée can only be Ziyuan. There's no room for discussion on this."

She paused, then said earnestly, "Yuntang, Mom knows you like Xie Li's face. But a woman like that is obviously not content with staying at home. Do you think she, a young girl, could have won the favor of the Xu family? She's not like Ziyuan, who has superb medical skills and has done a favor for the Xu family."

Madam Huo didn't originally want to talk about these things. She was a wealthy lady, not a commoner. Talking about other people's gossip would lower her status and make her lose her dignity.

If he doesn't explain it clearly, Huo Yuntang might not be satisfied and might be blinded by beauty.

“Yun Tang, you are still young, it’s normal for you to be attracted to beautiful women. I don’t object to you contacting Xie Li, but I hope you can always keep a calm mind.”

"Xie Li is just a country girl. What kind of connection could she possibly have with Xu Zhen and the others? In the end, it's all about her looks. I don't want you to be the one to take her in."

"The Huo family has a distinguished lineage. You are destined for great things, so you cannot afford to make a mistake in this matter."

Huo Yuntang rubbed his temples and remained silent.

After being kicked out of the banquet, he was urged by Xie Ziyuan by phone, and his anger burned even more fiercely, so he went to Heaven on Earth.

The service there was indeed quite good, and the woman they found had a slight resemblance to Xie Li in appearance, but after he vented his frustrations, he felt somewhat disgusted.

Huo Yuntang has always wanted the best of everything. When did he start to accept counterfeit or inferior goods?

Madam Huo's words, it must be said, at least soothed his mood. Yes, it wasn't that Xie Li didn't want him, but that Xie Li was simply not good enough for him.

“I know all of that,” Huo Yuntang said calmly, “but I still don’t want to let go of Xie Li.”

Madam Huo's pupils contracted slightly. She was both annoyed by her son's stubbornness and felt that it was perfectly reasonable.

After all, he was her son whom she had spoiled since childhood. She was happy to give him whatever he wanted. She was just a village girl from the Xie family. If Yun Tang wanted her, then he should have a taste.

Anyway, she knew her son that no matter how good something is, it loses its appeal once you get it; it's only when you can't get it that you can't forget it.

"Mom knows all this, but she is the Xie family's daughter, so we can't mess with her. If we really want to mess with her, we'll have to completely crush the Xie family."

Huo Er's thinking was always that of a bandit, and Huo Yuntang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, only the strong are qualified to do whatever they want with others.

If the Xie family is sensible and properly supports Xie Ziyuan while stepping on Xie Li, then there will be no risk for them to touch Xie Li. However, since the Xie family is now determined to support Xie Li, the only way to deal with Xie Li is to completely suppress the Xie family and make them worthless.

Thinking about the benefits Xie Ziyuan could bring him, and remembering the Sacred Heart Fruit, Huo Yuntang's impulse to annul the engagement did indeed fade considerably.

As Madam Huo said, the best course of action now is to crush Xie Li into the mud so that he can control her as he pleases.

"Anyway, the Xie family has disgraced the Huo family, so we don't need to worry about your grandfather anymore. We can teach the Xie family a lesson."

As Madam Huo pondered, her tone returned to its usual haughty and superior manner, revealing her obvious sense of superiority.

"The most urgent task is to appease Yuan. Our relationship with the Shen family in the capital depends entirely on her."
