On the surface, Shang Yao and her father came together, but they sat in their own luxurious cars, even this was clear. It could be seen how tense the relationship between the father and daughter was.
"Boss Xiao hailed a car?" Shang Yao noticed that Xiao Zheng had no intention of calling the driver, and smiled. "It seems I made a smart decision. Otherwise, we would have to hail a car together. "
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Your relationship with Boss Shang still hasn't improved?"
He asked directly, without beating around the bush. This was probably a question that only people with common interests and a good relationship would dare to ask. If it was someone else, they would not dare to be so direct.
Shang Yao smiled, and invited Xiao Zheng to get in the car. After instructing the driver to start, she said helplessly: "To the outside world, my father and I are in charge of the Shang and Yan families respectively. But how can the outside world understand some of the twists and turns? "
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng smiled, and asked curiously. "Could it be that Miss Shang has something that is difficult to say?"
"It's not really difficult to say." Shang Yao poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Xiao Zheng. "But at least from my grandfather's point of view, be it Shang family or Yan family, we should work together against a common enemy."
"Of course." Xiao Zheng nodded, expressing his understanding.
Shang family was ultimately a branch of Yan family. Although these two families were on equal footing, blood was thicker than water. No matter how thin it was, it was still better than forming an alliance with an outsider, right?
From a certain point of view, this was a natural advantage.
If not for Shang Jingtian and Shang Yao's differences in ideology. If these two families joined forces, it would definitely create a strong chemical effect.
Unfortunately …
Shang Jingtian was too domineering in front of his daughter, and Shang Yao was not a woman who would listen to his words, nor did she have her own opinions. This caused the two families to be at odds with each other to a large extent.
But no matter how much they disagreed, they were still allies who stood on the same level and shared common interests. Even on the surface, the Yan Family represented by Shang Yao didn't have much cooperation with Shang Jingtian, but formed a strategic partnership with Xin Ao.
Hearing that, Shang Yao cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Zheng. His tone was rather resentful as he said, "You want to ruin my life just because you said it's only natural? I won't agree. "
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Shang Yao took a sip of red wine, swirled the wine in her glass, and said slowly: "My father proposed a marriage alliance with the Bai family, to match me and Bai Wushuang."
"There's such a thing?" Xiao Zheng was rather surprised. "Isn't this nonsense? I remember that you are three years older than Bai Wushuang. "
Shang Yao faintly looked at Xiao Zheng: "Aren't you also two years younger than Boss Lin?"
Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose, and said with a sheepish smile: "I just feel that this is too sudden. Also — — Bai Wushuang is really not a good match for you. "
Usually, age is not the biggest obstacle in love. Of course, if there is a difference of ten or twenty years, it will become the number one problem.
Few couples who are old and young have a good ending.
"Whether I'm a good match or not is another matter." Perhaps because she was a little emotional, Shang Yao drank half a glass of red wine in one breath, and said with narrowed eyes. "How can my marriage be arranged by others? So what if it's my father? He can do anything for his own benefit, but I'm not a piece of dog bone in his hands. He can throw me to whoever he wants to please. "
Xiao Zheng lightly nodded: "This matter was brought up by your father?"
"It should be his idea." Shang Yao pursed her lips. "It was grandpa who told me."
"Grandpa also approved of this matter?" Xiao Zheng asked with a little surprise.
"Grandpa didn't force me, he just wanted me to try. If it doesn't work, then forget it. "Shang Yao lightly shook her head. "The more gentle grandpa is, the harder it will be for me to refuse."
This is what it means to not slap a smiling face. Yan Shichang only very tactfully mentioned it, as a granddaughter, it was naturally not good to go against the old man's wishes. But in Shang Yao's view, this matter was just a formality, she would never really agree.
"A marriage between rich and powerful." Xiao Zheng sighed. "It really is profit first, not considering personal feelings at all."
Shang Yao pursed her lips: "Boss Xiao, you don't have anything to worry about, right?"
"I'm also worried." Xiao Zheng pouted. "That father-in-law of mine, is not easy to deal with compared to your father."
Shang Yao chuckled and said, "That's true. No matter how strong my father is, at least he is kind in front of outsiders. Lin Laoyao is simply a tyrant. "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of wine and suddenly asked curiously: "Why did your father suddenly decide to unite with the Bai family by marriage? Didn't he tell you his feelings before? "
Shang Yao put down the wine glass and said word by word: "My father has a reason that even grandpa can't refuse: the descendant of the Zhao family has returned. He has already begun to take revenge. The Yan family and the Bai family are interdependent. "
Xiao Zheng had nothing to say.
This was indeed an excellent reason. No wonder Shang Yao braced herself to make a trip to White City. It didn't matter if she was representing the Yan family or compromising with her father. She had to make a trip.
"Boss Xiao, if you were me, what would you do?" What would you do? "Shang Yao changed the topic and said meaningfully.
"I'm a man. It's hard to put myself in the shoes of a woman. "Xiao Zheng could not help but laugh.
"Then I'll have to trouble Boss Xiao to put himself in the shoes of a woman." Shang Yao smiled casually.
"Bai Wushuang is smart enough to be one of the best among his peers. But his temperament is a bit bold and unrestrained, and he is too emotional. "Xiao Zheng pointed out. "It'll be fine if he can grow up in the next three to five years. Otherwise, he will just be a mediocre talent."
To stand in the position of the Bai family's young master, he must grow up and become stronger. If he was only a little better than an ordinary person, how could he control the status of the Bai family's young master?
Not to mention that he could not defeat all of his fierce opponents. Even his cunning subordinates would not be able to subdue him.
"From Boss Xiao's evaluation, this Bai Wushuang really doesn't have much ability." Shang Yao smiled. "I understand Boss Xiao's meaning."
"People say that it's better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Miss Shang is forcing me to be the bad guy. "Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You can't say that." Shang Yao revealed a mischievous smile and pursed her lips. "After all, Boss Xiao and I are allies. If I make a mistake, won't I be a burden to Boss Xiao? "
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that I have to thank Miss Shang for being so understanding?"
"That's not necessary." Shang Yao shook her head lightly, but a cold light flashed in her eyes. "I only hope that in the future, because of this matter, there will be some uncontrollable trouble. Boss Xiao can come out and say a few words for me, so that I, a woman, won't have to bear it alone. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself: It seems that this matter is not as simple as Shang Yao had described.
At least in Shang Jingtian's mind, a strong marriage is a must? Or perhaps, even the Bai family has the same plan?
In theory, Shang Yao did not even have the support of Yan Shichang. It was a bit like being abandoned by her own family.
