The father and son from the Ning family were very satisfied. They were using each other for their own agendas for now so they did not have any problems.
Su Tong was unprecedentedly happy. She felt that her years of suffering had finally paid off. The most important thing for her now was to find a suitable marriage partner for her son. She did not have a powerful family to help her in the past, which made it difficult for her to stabilize her position in the Ning family, and to help her son now. Hence, she was determined to find someone whose family would be able to help her son. Things would be different if her son married a wife with a strong background. Although Ning Dong had yet to graduate, it was not too early for him to socialize and cultivate a good relationship with his prospective partner.
Alas, Su Tong searched and searched, but she found that there was no suitable candidate. To be precise, no one wanted to associate with the Ning family
Su Tong and Ning Zhe’s story was well-known among the wealthy families in M City. Moreover, recently, everyone also found out about Ning Zhe’s illegitimate daughter with Gao Wen. It was a complete disgrace. With the Ning family’s crumbling reputation, which family would marry their daughter into the Ning family?
This made Su Tong extremely anxious until she got to know Guan Ning, the Madam of the Yin family, and Guan Ning’s daughter, Yin Yi. She was overjoyed.
The Yin family had just moved to M City so they did not know much about the previous incidents. Even if the Yin family heard about the shameful matters from the others, it would not be too damaging. After all, which wealthy families did not have skeletons in their closets?
The Ning family and the Yin family were of equal status, and Ning Dong and Yin Yi were about the same age. They were simply a match made in heaven.
When she excitedly told Ning Zhe about her plans, she was surprised that Ning Zhe did not scold her for doing unnecessary things. On the contrary, he encouraged her to arrange a blind date as soon as possible. This was the first time in years that she was acknowledged by him. She was so happy that she felt as though she was walking on air.
She did not hesitate and quickly contacted Guan Ning.
…
At this time, Ning Zhe was listening to Ning Chun’s report and would smile occasionally.
“Yin Bin and Ye He have a very good relationship. Currently, the Yin family only has business dealings with the Ye family. The Yin family is still looking around for cooperation. Ye He must be targeting Zhuang Ji as well. Yin Bin doesn’t hold real power in the Yin family; he’s just a puppet. Old Master Yin is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. Ye Cheng and the Eldest Young Miss of the Yin family are about to be married. At that time, the two families will merge into one. We can’t underestimate them.”
“Two families will merge into one?” Ning Zhe laughed. “Ye He’s idea is quite good. I knew it. How could he silently endure such humiliation and not retaliate? As it turns out, he’s being good for the Yin family. In this case, I’m quite relieved. Otherwise, I’ll have to be on guard against him all the time.”
“Su Tong is finally of some help this time. We must secretly pair Ning Dong and Miss Yin up. Let us stir up this pot of mess as well. In any case, we won’t suffer any losses,” Ning Zhe said slightly smugly.
Ning Chun asked hesitantly, “Will Young Master… cooperate?”
Ning Zhe sneered. “Don’t worry. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons. He’s so cunning. He thinks I don’t know what he’s thinking just because he shows me his poker face every day. His wings have yet to harden, but he dares to play all these small tricks. Very well, I’ll accompany him to play.”
Ning Zhe’s expression eased as he continued to say, “Regardless, the Ning family will still have to rely on him in the future. No matter how difficult it is, I have to educate and nurture him. Let’s start by letting him marry a good wife.”
“Will he consider Miss Yin a good wife?” Ning Chun was still hesitant.
“Why not? Otherwise, what kind of person does he want to marry? I’ll help him marry her first. How he plans to deal with her later is up to him!” Ning Zhe said with a cold smile on his face.
