Yeah, what good is it even if he tries his best?
He's just an outsider.
Everything the Yuan family owns will eventually belong to him.
He is the only legitimate son of the Yuan family.
As Yuan Zixin finished speaking, everyone in the seats fell silent.
At that moment, the butler's voice came from the doorway.
"Young Marshal."
Before anyone knew it, Yuan Zimi had reached the door.
Black military boots, a full military uniform.
Even though he appeared languid, his eyes still held an undeniable sharpness.
His narrow eyes narrowed.
"It's so lively here."
He walked in as he spoke.
Soon, the butler moved a chair over and was about to place it on the other side of the marshal.
Yuan Zimi spoke
"Put it here."
The spot he was pointing to was to Su Yan's left.
The butler nodded
"yes"
He acknowledged and placed the chair next to Su Yan.
He reached out, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
He was facing Yuan Zixin.
The atmosphere at the table became even more subtle.
This continued for an unknown period of time.
Until peony
"oops!"
With her exclamation, a porcelain spoon fell to the ground and shattered.
Peony stood up, her eyes lowered, filled with disappointment and guilt.
"sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general was seen looking at Peony with a broad smile.
"This is such a trivial matter, Miss Peony, there's no need for you to apologize."
"Someone, go and get Miss Peony a new set of tableware."
"yes"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant withdrew.
However, this did ease the tension at the dinner table considerably.
During the conversation, the commander also struck up a conversation with Su Yan.
Compared to Shaoyao's answer and attitude, Su Yan seemed particularly disrespectful.
Soon, the commander's attention was focused solely on the peony.
He was clearly very satisfied with the peony.
Occasionally, Peony's gaze would sweep over Su Yan, and when Su Yan noticed and looked over, Peony didn't dodge, but instead revealed a smile.
It carries a deeper meaning.
Peony and white peony are the two mainstays of the Paramount Ballroom.
Peonies are famous for their dancing appearance.
White Peony captivated hearts with her singing.
Logically speaking, if the two cooperate well, they should be able to attract a large number of wealthy clients.
Unfortunately, the two didn't get along.
White Peony is always cold and sarcastic, very arrogant, and has a strong sense of self-respect.
Peony, on the other hand, is alluring and has high emotional intelligence, which allows her to cultivate relationships with many wealthy businessmen.
After careful comparison, the white peony was found to be much more popular than the peony.
However, the white peony was not popular.
This resulted in an unspoken balance between the two.
Now, Peony has shown White Peony how she can win over this great general in no time.
It instantly became the darling of the table.
Every move they make attracts a lot of attention.
The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to be getting better and better.
The harmonious atmosphere was broken when a soldier walked in.
"Young Marshal, urgent report."
As he spoke, the soldier handed the letter to Yuan Zimi in front of everyone.
Yuan Zimi leaned back in her chair, calmly accepted the letter, opened it, and read its contents.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
After reading it, Yuan Zimi handed the letter to the soldier.
Slowly open
“Tell him to keep the pressure on.”
"yes!"
The soldier received his orders and was preparing to leave.
At this moment, Yuan Zixin finally couldn't sit still any longer and slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"stop!"
The soldier paused, startled.
Yuan Zixin's gaze swept over Yuan Zimi, then landed on the soldier.
"Father is still here, he's not dead!"
Why wasn't such an important urgent report shown to Father before being handed directly to Yuan Zimi?!
