Mother Ye kept pestering Dean a few more times and showed her sincerity. Not only did she send people over to let him instruct, but she also listened to him and did everything he said.

Dean was finally “moved” by Mother Ye’s sincerity and agreed to go to the hotel early to relax.

Mother Ye heaved a sigh of relief. She was a little proud of herself. There was no customer she could not handle. A rich aristocrat like Dean was spoiled. As long as she satisfied all his needs, it would be equivalent to solving 80% of the problem.

Half an hour later, Dean appeared at Yunshe Wanhao. Mother Ye personally went to welcome him and sent him to his room.

Dean looked at the woman in front of him, who looked capable and exquisite but full of schemes. He sneered in his heart. She did everything in every way, but there was no sincerity to speak of. Compared to Lin Wanli, a business negotiation expert who understood the needs of her clients, she was much worse.

“Mr. Dean, you’re really young and promising. I’m very honored to meet you.” Mother Ye was wearing a long black dress and had a professional smile on her face as if this would make her look sincere.

However, Dean did not touch her outstretched hand.

“Get to the point. After all, everyone’s time is precious.” Dean spread his hands and said.

“The main point is about Wanli. You might have some misunderstandings about the Lin Family. You’re a foreigner, so you might not understand our family culture. Asians like us aren’t good at expressing our feelings, especially between father and daughter. We clearly love each other deeply, but we’re too shy to express it. So, you might have misunderstood Wanli’s father. In fact, he loves Wanli very much.” Mother Ye explained seriously.

“I indeed don’t really understand, but is ignoring your daughter and helping outsiders also your unique trait?” Dean asked.

“Mr. Dean, that’s a matter between the father and daughter. As outsiders, it’s indeed not appropriate for us to interfere.” Mother Ye began to remind Dean of his identity. “Father and daughter don’t have overnight grudges.”

Dean also smiled and said, “I know a friend who is in negotiations. If it were her, do you know what she would do?”

“Please enlighten me.”

“First of all, you have to be honest. After all, hypocrisy is the most annoying thing in the business world, right?” Dean mocked, “But since you’ve already come personally, I have no choice but to give you face. The Lin Family’s matter will be settled just like that.”

At this moment, Mother Ye’s expression successfully displayed what it meant to be colorful.

“Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Dean. Here are some gifts. I hope you will have a good time at tonight’s banquet.” After saying that, Mother Ye asked her subordinate outside the door to bring the gifts in.

Dean casually opened it and saw that it was actually an expensive watch and a few jade pieces.

It was really a massive sum.

“I will be very happy,” Dean replied with a faint smile.

For some reason, Mother Ye still felt uneasy even though the matter had been resolved. However, looking at Dean’s face, she could not find any flaws. She only hoped that this French man would keep his promise and not cause any trouble.

Dean watched as Mother Ye left and snorted. He did not find trouble with the Lin Group in the first place. He just wanted to find…. trouble with Father Lin and Ye Zhenzhen.

…

After Mrs. Ye was done with her business, she immediately returned to the Old Madam’s lounge. However, at this moment, she bumped into Huo Jiuxiao, who was dressed in a suit, in the elevator.

He was too tall and too oppressive. Mother Ye stood in front of Huo Jiuxiao and could not help but feel a little afraid.

[Why is he here? Zhenzhen cannot meet him.]

Behind Mother Ye, Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes were filled with mockery.

Lin Wanli’s enemies were really stupider than the last.

It seemed that this mother and daughter were also in cahoots with each other about the incident two years ago.

[Why isn’t the elevator here yet!]

Huo Jiuxiao did not say a word throughout, but he managed to fill the atmosphere with horror.

When the elevator door opened, Mother Ye ran away…
