Ye Zhixi answered without hesitation: "I already feel bad for Bo Yeming. Although I left him some extra money, it's still not enough."
“I’m waiting for that old fox to show his tail. When he spits out all his assets, I’ll cut them off and give them to Bo Yeming.”
Ninety-nine didn't understand. If it were her sister, she would hoard all the money and not give a single penny to outsiders.
Ye Zhixi patted Jiujiu's head: "Little Jiujiu, I don't lack that little bit of money."
"Moreover, being too ruthless or pushing too hard can easily make enemies. Rather than making enemies, it's better to give them face and use that little bit of money to secure future cooperation."
"Sister Xiaoqi is very capable. She has a good eye for people. Since she kept Bo Yeming, it means that Bo Yeming is alright. Why not leave him a way out?"
"Furthermore, to prevent the Bo family from making a comeback, I must support Bo Yeming—"
Ninety-nine didn't understand: "Why support Bo Yeming? Aren't you afraid he'll betray us?"
Ye Zhixi: "Bo Yeming and Bo Tingsheng have obvious opposing interests, and supporting the enemy of the enemy is the best way to maintain relations."
"Betrayal? He has no reason to betray. The mistress who broke up his family has no right to stand by his side and negotiate."
"Ninety-nine. In the cutthroat world of business, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Bo Tingsheng will always be a ticking time bomb in Bo Yeming's heart. If he betrays and sides with Bo Tingsheng, given Bo Tingsheng's personality, will he let him go after knowing everything?"
"It's a dead end. After Bo Yeming changed his surname to Zhu, the Zhu family, not the Bo family, will have the direct benefits. Cutting off his ties with the Bo family will only make Bo Yeming feel that as long as the Zhu family's backing remains, he will not decline. What reason would he have to betray the Zhu family to revive the Bo family?"
"Revitalizing the Bo family means that Bo Tingsheng will always have the opportunity to make a comeback and the right to take it away. The Zhu family is of no benefit to him and there is nothing wrong with it. It is self-evident who he will choose."
"Of course, I will also guard against Bo Tingsheng making a comeback."
Ninety-nine understood.
"Hmm... My mistress asked me to go home for dinner, so I'll head back now."
"Wait a minute," Ye Zhixi called out to her, "Has Qiqi gone home?"
Ninety-nine honestly replied, "No."
Ye Zhixi: "...Was she happy there?"
"happy."
"That's good." Ye Zhixi's eyes changed suddenly, becoming as gentle as a breeze.

When Jiujiu returned to the castle, he saw the three of them fiddling with... roasting meat?
Ninety-nine took out her phone and looked at it:
The temperature is 30 degrees Celsius.
Ninety-nine: "?"
Is it okay to have barbecue in this weather?
Ye Qi saw that Jiujiu had returned and called her over, "Little Jiujiu, come and eat!"
Ninety-Nine stared at the grill pan billowing with hot smoke in front of her...
"Are you sure you want to eat barbecue on such a hot day?"
You Ning brought out thirty plates of sliced beef: "It's okay, just turn the air conditioning down to the lowest setting in a bit!"
Eager to eat, Yixing didn't see anything wrong with it: "Who says barbecue can only be eaten in winter?"
"At worst, I'll cast an ice spell on you and bring back winter?"
Ninety-nine: "...No need."
Ye Qi took out the hot pot with the cooked broth and placed it next to the grill.
Ninety-nine: "?"
Ye Qi: "Eating hot pot and barbecue together doubles the happiness!"
Ninety-nine: "I don't understand..."
Ten minutes later.
Ninety-nine: "It's cool!"

Tuesday.
Ye Qi stayed in the castle for almost three days, so engrossed that she didn't want to go home.
She even plans to go home next week.
As he lay in bed, a message suddenly popped up.
[Wen Mingzhi: Qiqi, we were wrong about what happened last time. My parents and I have discussed it, and we want to go to your house to apologize in person. Are you... free tonight?]
Ye Qi: "..."
Could she say she's busy...?
She didn't want to go home.
She touched her increasingly round belly...
I've been eating so well here lately.
When I get home, my mom won't let me eat junk food...
But junk food is really delicious!
But considering that Wen Mingzhi was his good friend, he couldn't let the misunderstanding continue, so he had no choice but to agree.
Ye Qi finished her last meal that afternoon, with tears in her eyes: barbecue, crayfish, drunken crab, seafood in broth, chicken wings, and spicy hot pot...
oh.
There's also the Coke that we can only drink three times a week at home.
She took a big gulp of cola, preemptively contemplating the time that was about to slip away.
You Ning was completely confused by her: "Okay, we can come back next time."
"Waaah...you don't understand."
"Only those who have tasted junk food know how bland and tasteless home-cooked meals can be."
You Ning: "..."
After finishing the snacks.
Ye Qi took a helicopter home.
She pushed open the door with a carefree, unpretentious smile: "Mom! I'm home!"
I just happened to see...
The family members sat upright, while Shi Yun scratched his head, seemingly out of it.
And across from them were Wen's parents and three siblings.
Ye Qi silently closed the door: "Excuse me, please continue."
Upon seeing Ye Qi, Shi Yun seemed to have a switch flipped, finally regaining his footing: "Qi Qi! Over here!"
Ye Qi: "..."
She could tell that Shi Yun was definitely doing it on purpose!
When Ye Qi's mother, Shi Wanwan, saw her youngest daughter finally come home, her previously tense face softened completely. "Qiqi, come here."
Ye Qi had no choice but to go and sit down.
The moment Madam Wen saw Ye Qi, a look of guilt immediately appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, Qi Qi, it's rare for you to come to the Wen family. We've not only failed to entertain you properly, but we've also made you sad..."
Mrs. Wen stood up, her back straight, and bowed in front of everyone: "Auntie apologizes to you, I'm sorry!"
