Chapter 1173: One Against Three—Is That Even Possible?

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: One Against Three—Is That Even Possible?

"Zhao Guqing doesn’t get along well with Zhao Gushen, Zhao Dingli, and Zhao Guoxian. On the contrary, Zhao Gushen, Zhao Dingli, and Zhao Guoxian stick together," Ye Ning explained.

Xu Huizhen frowned, "From this perspective, Zhao Guqing doesn’t seem very smart."

In this situation, anyone would know that they should stick with those who have power like Zhao Gushen.

One against three, how can that work?

Ye Ning smirked.

See, even someone like Xu Huizhen, a middle-aged woman who knows nothing, understands this, yet Zhao Guqing doesn’t get it.

"Even if I really marry Zhao Guqing and enter the Zhao Family," Ye Ning said, "seeing how Zhao Guqing doesn’t get along with others, I can’t be tied with Ye Fei either."

"Since Zhao Guqing is not on good terms with them, their attitude toward me won’t be good either. Plus, I can’t ignore Zhao Guqing and go make friends with them, right? I have to follow Zhao Guqing’s stance," Ye Ning continued.

"So, how can Ye Fei and I support each other?" Ye Ning questioned.

"Then what should we do?" Xu Huizhen couldn’t let go of Zhao Guqing.

Zhao Guqing’s conditions are indeed quite good.

Xu Huizhen never dared to dream that Ye Ning could be with Zhao Guqing.

Without Zhao Guqing, Xu Huizhen also knew it would be hard to find someone so good.

"Should we go and find Zhao Dingli?" Xu Huizhen knew it wasn’t possible even in her dreams.

"We don’t even know Zhao Dingli, and besides, he’s already with Li Xiaoyun," Xu Huizhen didn’t seem to mind being a third party, "It’s quite troublesome to steal someone."

Being single is more convenient, right?

"Mom, you forgot, Zhao Gushen has another brother besides Zhao Guqing, named Zhao Guoxian," Ye Ning said.

"Is he single?" Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning seemed to have a special understanding.

Ye Ning said one sentence, and Xu Huizhen instantly got her plan.

"From what I know, yes," Ye Ning said, "Plus, he has a great relationship with Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli; whenever there’s a benefit, those two think of him first. Zhao Guqing has to wait in line."

"Wow, that’s much better than Zhao Guqing," Xu Huizhen said.

Even if you have money, you need to maintain good relationships with people.

Otherwise, how do you survive in the Zhao Family?

Later on, won’t you get excluded?

Xu Huizhen is no longer in awe of Zhao Guqing like she used to be when Ye Ning was with him.

Now she even looks down on Zhao Guqing.

Moreover, Ye Ning said Zhao Guqing is just her backup!

Since he’s just a backup, what does it matter?

Xu Huizhen has started not to take Zhao Guqing seriously.

"But we don’t know Zhao Guoxian either," Xu Huizhen worried again.

She is confident that once Zhao Guoxian meets Ye Ning, he will definitely like her.

Who wouldn’t like Ye Ning?

Those who don’t like Ye Ning are just some women.

It’s the so-called same-sex repulsion.

Ye Ning is better than them all, so it’s normal for her to be envied.

"But Ye Fei is very familiar with Zhao Guoxian; that’s an uncle-nephew-in-law relationship," Ye Ning said, getting even more jealous.

While others can’t even find a way to get in touch, Ye Fei can easily contact him.

"Previously, she introduced Zhao Dingli to Li Xiaoyun and not to me. According to Dad, if she thought it was an age gap issue, that wouldn’t apply to Zhao Guoxian, right?"

"Our ages are just right," Ye Ning said, "Let Ye Fei introduce Zhao Guoxian to me."

"Besides, Zhao Guoxian has a good relationship with Zhao Gushen. If I marry into the Zhao Family, I’ll not only be Ye Fei’s sister-in-law but also a sister, and we can help each other, making life easier in the future."

"Right, Dad?" Ye Ning turned to Ye Dezhang.

"What you said makes sense," Ye Dezhang nodded.

After all, they’re sisters; their grudges are only temporary.

Blood ties can’t be severed.

"But, concerning Zhao Guqing..." Ye Dezhang felt this was a bit unethical.

"I’ve already said he’s just a backup. Plus, nowadays, breaking up a relationship is normal. I haven’t married him yet, nor have I met Zhao Guoxian. Even if I do, there’s nothing wrong with being friends. He can’t control me, right? I haven’t done anything against him."

Besides, nobody can interfere in the relationship between her and Zhao Guqing.

It’s just a casual thing.

Interference in each other’s friendships is impossible.

If Zhao Guqing were to seriously date another girl now, she wouldn’t say anything.

Similarly, if she were to be with Zhao Guoxian, Zhao Guqing would have no reason or qualification to blame her.

"When it comes to us, Ye Fei won’t listen," Xu Huizhen turned her attention to Ye Dezhang.

"You’re her dad and have doted on her since she was little," Xu Huizhen said, "Among the three of us, you’re the only one she might treat a little better."

"She can still talk to you, and she might listen to what you say. At least she has the patience to hear you out," Xu Huizhen said, "If I or Ning Ning went, she’d send us away as soon as she saw us. Let alone listening to us; oh no, we probably can’t even contact her."

Xu Huizhen sneered, getting angrier at the thought.

Ye Fei is the one she carried for ten months.

Ye Fei thinks she treated her badly, but she still gave birth to her.

Ye Fei owes her life.

If it weren’t for her, Ye Fei wouldn’t exist in this world.

She’s Ye Fei’s mom, having given her life, which is a huge favor.

A favor Ye Fei will never repay.

What right does Ye Fei have to resent her?

No matter how she treats Ye Fei, as a daughter, Ye Fei should accept it.

Otherwise, she’d have to give back her life first!

But oddly enough, Ye Fei holds grudges.

She doesn’t remember the favor of birth and nurturing.

Knowing this sooner, she wouldn’t have given birth to Ye Fei.

Back then, if she aborted, she’d save years of food.

Ye Dezhang hesitated, and Ye Ning said, "Dad, I’ve been with Zhao Guqing for some time, and I always feel he’s unreliable."

"You want me to be well, right? Ye Fei married into such a good family; do you think I’m worse than her? Do you want me to live worse than her?"

"You always doted on her more since we were kids. You would secretly give her your savings," Ye Ning said.

Ye Dezhang looked at Ye Ning in surprise.

Ye Ning smiled, "You thought you hid it well, but I knew all along; I’m quite aware. I know you loved Ye Fei more. In your eyes, I’ll never measure up to her."

"No, I didn’t think like that..." Ye Dezhang mumbled, "I just thought...your mom cared more for you, so Ye Fei seemed..."

"Pitiful, right?" Xu Huizhen crossed her arms, "I guessed correctly; she’s a thankless wretch."
