Everyone clearly sees Qiu Ruoxi's talent in the business world.

Together with Ye Xunhuan, one in business and the other developing additional ventures, they have no problem becoming an aristocratic family.

Most importantly, Ye Xunhuan is a marshal, something that Yan Zhengrong knows well in his heart, even without Fenghua Group, his word alone can make him an aristocracy.

Yan Zhengrong just didn't point it out.

However, upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's abrupt words, Yan Zhengrong's heart skipped a beat.

Qiu Ruoxi seems to have a simple background, at most coming from a wealthy family, but Yan Zhengrong knows well that this woman's backing is truly a contemporary aristocratic family.

It's just a hidden one at that, and that old man from the Xiahou family hasn't appeared in half a century. If he did, no one would dare underestimate him one bit.

Now Qiu Ruoxi's words mean that even without the marshal's title, Ye Xunhuan could create his own Ye Clan aristocracy.

Qiu Ruoxi's words caused Yan Jinglin to fall silent, filled with anger inside.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of Qiu Ruoxi, after all, his son went to Jiangzhong City because of her, and her talent in business is fully recognized by countless business magnates.

Yan Jinglin even felt that given the opportunity, Qiu Ruoxi might become the next Qin Fenghuang.

This is also why the Yan family was so eager to acquire stocks from the Huangtu Group when Yan Qingdi was discussing cooperation with Qiu Ruoxi.

"As long as you two work together wholeheartedly, it's definitely possible." Yan Zhengrong said softly, "I have faith in you!"

In response, Ye Xunhuan just smiled and said nothing, after all, why waste words when they don't connect, right?

Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi both stopped speaking, and Yan Zhengrong couldn't say much to Ye Xunhuan either, so he chose silence.

Even if Qiu Ruoxi remained quiet, Yan Zhengrong had no intention to continue speaking.

Some things are best left unsaid, leaving others to conjure their own fantasies, isn't it?

He knows Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi do have the ability to establish a Ye Clan aristocracy, yet others are unaware of Ye Xunhuan's identity, nor what kind of person Qiu Ruoxi's grandfather is.

So, others may not believe their words.

What Yan Zhengrong wants is for others in the Qin family to be half-convinced, as this makes people more likely to harbor suspicion.

You have to admit, Yan Zhengrong is quite the old fox with a profound understanding of human nature and its nuances.

Because Yan Zhengrong didn't target Ye Xunhuan, the atmosphere, although somewhat heavy, remained relatively harmonious.

After drinking and dining, some members of the Qin family gradually left, but Yan Zhengrong stayed and engaged in small talk with Qin Pojun.

Though each old man harbored their own calculations, on the surface, they maintained a harmonious demeanor.

After some chatting, Yan Zhengrong finally left.

As they walked out of the Qin residence and got into the car, Yan Jinglin, who had been suppressing a murderous intent, immediately questioned Yan Zhengrong, "Dad, is that it for today?"

Face slightly flushed from drinking, Yan Zhengrong snorted, "What else do you want?"

"Didn't we end up with nothing, even losing a fine piece of Hetian jade!" Yan Jinglin said, dissatisfied.

"Nothing, you say?" Yan Zhengrong responded with some disappointment, "Do you want to make a scene in front of the entire Qin family, or do you plan to lay charges on Ye Xunhuan?"

"If you dare, I assure you, Qin Rumeng could scratch your face off."

"But…"

"Our objective has already been achieved. Qin Shuheng is deeply suspicious, and although Ye Xunhuan expressed a lack of interest in the Qin family, he may not believe it." Yan Zhengrong interrupted Yan Jinglin, "Wait and see, he will not have an easy time with the Qin family."

"Dad, he may not have an easy time, but he's alive. I want him dead. I want to avenge my son!" Yan Jinglin said with a grim expression.

The enemy who killed his son was right there, but he did nothing, couldn't do anything, just kept staring at Ye Xunhuan.

For Yan Jinglin, it was an intense torment.

Upon hearing Yan Jinglin's words, Yan Zhengrong couldn't help but sigh, "Go back and think things through, then come find me!"

With those words, Yan Zhengrong shut his eyes, signaling the end of the conversation.

Seeing this, Yan Jinglin, full of dissatisfaction and anger, couldn't show it, as Yan Zhengrong was still his father.

With Yan Zhengrong gone, the entire Qin ancestral residence returned to serenity.

Though it was late at night, Qin Pojun seemed full of energy, not a hint of fatigue, and began talking to Ye Xunhuan about the earlier events involving Yan Zhengrong and Yan Jinglin.

He even took a moment to emphasize the fact that Yan Jinglin is Yan Qingdi's father.

This mention made Ye Xunhuan understand, "No wonder that guy looked at me as if he'd love to tear me to pieces!"

"So, he's Yan Qingdi's father, but he's quite good at holding back."

"It's likely Yan Zhengrong instructed him before they came," Qin Pojun speculated, "Otherwise, with Yan Jinglin's composure, he wouldn't be able to do so."

"You did well too, though pushed to the forefront by Yan Zhengrong, you so easily descended from it." Qin Pojun remarked with some appreciation.

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "If I hadn't found a way down myself, the Qin family might have a few more cripples!"

"Putting it that way, even though I found a step down for myself, if others still insist on causing trouble, then they can't blame me."

"Since you've said that, how can they act like that?"

"I may have said it, but you haven't." Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Moreover, they might not believe my words."

Then his tone shifted, "Grandfather, don't think about making the cat and the tiger fight, because in that case, only the cat dies."

With that, Ye Xunhuan stood up, "Alright, it's late. I won't disturb your rest!"

Next moment, Ye Xunhuan walked away from Qin Pojun's side.

Watching Ye Xunhuan walk away, Qin Pojun's face filled with a wry smile as he said to Song Yan, "Song Yan, this kid is a bit too smart, isn't he?"

"Master, actually, he's right. You shouldn't put the cat and the tiger together, or it could lead to trouble." Song Yan, knowing what Qin Pojun meant, sighed, "He's warning you to keep others in check!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't just be chaos, but if there were real cripples…"

Qin Pojun's eyes kept moving, not knowing what he was plotting within!
