Zhang Zihe expressed his true feelings, saying that although the two of them were indeed in love, it was a bit too much to do something so recklessly.
After listening, Ning Ye realized that he had indeed been too idealistic, and that it was not good to be too wishful in some things.
While it would indeed allow her to escape, doing so would leave Miss Sun with absolutely no way out and no foothold.
“You’re right. I was too hasty about this. In that case, I’ll give you another way.”
Zhang Zihe's face lit up with surprise, "Young Master, is there really another way?"
"It's just something I just thought of. Since you don't want to go to such extremes, then I can only ask the master's opinion. I'm going to see the head of the Sun family."
“Young master, when I visited them before, they had no intention of seeing me at all. Even if you were to visit, they might still refuse to see me, but I think the chances are still slim.”
Ning Ye smiled confidently, "But your approach is wrong. I'm just planning to visit the Sun family to discuss a business deal. Do you think they'd refuse?"
Zhang Zihe's face lit up with joy. This method was truly only something Ning Ye could use, since the Sun family recognized his face.
The next morning, Ning Ye went to a tailor shop to buy himself and the others a nice set of clothes before swaggering off to the Sun family.
In order to come along, Zhang Zihe specially covered his face with a cloth so that if anyone asked, he could only say that his face was obscured and he could not be seen by others.
Ning Ye walked at the front, and when they arrived at the gate of the Sun family, he directly signaled his guards to go forward and knock on the door.
Before long, a servant opened the gate, glanced at Ning Ye and the others outside, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Young master, who are you looking for?"
Ning Ye swung his fan arrogantly, "I've come here today specifically to discuss business with the Sun family. Please inform them immediately."
Zhang Zihe also took out a tael of silver from his pocket, "Please be quick, young man, my master has a bad temper."
After receiving the silver, the servant said with a fawning expression, "May I ask your name, young master? I will go and inform you right away. However, whether our master sees me or not is not up to me."
Not long after, the servant from before ran back, accompanied by a steward who was dressed better. "Our master invites you, but he is currently teaching a class, so please wait in the waiting room for a while."
Ning Ye nodded slightly. "Lead the way."
The butler gestured for them to enter and then turned to lead the way. Upon entering the Sun family mansion for the first time, Ning Ye looked around carefully and found that it was indeed much better than his own house.
"Young master, you must not be from Jiangyang City, otherwise you wouldn't be traveling with so many guards."
Ning Ye said calmly, "I have long heard that the Sun family's shimmering brocade is exceptional, but they also have some expertise in other silks and satins, so I have come here specifically to seek cooperation."
"I see. You have excellent taste, young master. However, my master is currently meeting with important guests, so please stay in the reception room for a while. The finest tea has been prepared."
Upon arriving at the reception room, the butler only allowed Ning Ye and Zhang Zihe to enter, while the other guards had no choice but to stay obediently outside.
Ning Ye picked up the teacup and took a small sip. "Please, patriarch, hurry up. Don't keep me waiting."
"I can't say for sure, but if you need anything, please feel free to ask me, and I will do my best to meet your needs."
After saying that, the butler went inside. Just then, Ning Ye flicked a small listening device onto the butler's clothes.
Not long after, I heard a conversation coming through the earpiece, and it sounded quite intense.
At this moment, Sun Liancheng felt a headache coming on looking at his uncles and elders.
"Everyone, I know that the young master has taken a liking to my Qingyu, which is indeed a great honor for us. But surely you are all aware of the young master's true nature?"
Uncle San said openly, "This matter is not important to our family. As long as we can become in-laws, our Sun family can take another step forward. You don't know what that means for the entire Sun family."
The eldest son of the Sun family also spoke up, saying, "Second son, I know you have done a lot for the Sun family over the years, but you absolutely cannot ruin the Sun family's future at this time."
Sun Liancheng gripped the chair armrests tightly. None of his clansmen had ever considered his poor daughter in their words.
Looking at the crowd below, Sun Liancheng knew that these guys would not let this go easily; today was just the beginning.
As long as they don't give in, this group will absolutely not give up.
However, Sun Liancheng also knew that he could not back down, otherwise he would be unworthy of being a father.
"Everyone, Qingyu is my daughter, not yours. As long as I am alive, I will never agree to this."
Third Uncle looked at Sun Liancheng coldly, "Do you think that just because you are the head of the family you can make all the decisions? If you still don't agree, our families can kick you out and replace you with someone else as the head of the family."
Sun Liancheng stood up. "The Sun family's success today is due to my years of hard work, and I am the only one who knows how to make this shimmering brocade. If this method is lost, have you all considered the consequences?"
The faces of everyone in the Sun family were rather grim. This was Sun Liancheng's biggest trump card, since the Bo Guang Jin could only be passed down to the family head in each generation.
This is an ancestral precept that has never been known to any outsider over the years, unless the previous head of the family passes away.
There can't be two people in the world who know how shimmering brocade is made at the same time.
The eldest son of the Sun family sneered, "It doesn't matter. As long as all the clansmen agree to remove you from your post, you, as the head of the family, will also have to hand over the production method. Otherwise, you will be letting down your ancestors, and that day will probably not be long."
Sun Liancheng also said firmly, "I don't believe my men would betray me. It's probably not that easy for you to overthrow me."
Seeing that further discussion would only lead to nothing, the Third Uncle interrupted the conversation, telling Sun Liancheng to think carefully about what was more important.
