Xi Yue and her children couldn’t help but look at each other and then avoid their eyes guiltily. Only a few of her younger step-kids were still pigging out. Xi Yue lightly coughed and pouted. “Now that you’re all grown up and married, you’re on their side instead of your relatives’! Don’t worry! No one here has designs on your Ye family’s money. Hmph, it’s not like we’re poor!”

“I heard that the Zhu family’s business is losing money,” Fang Xi calmly pointed it out.

Xi Yue opened her mouth and said stubbornly, “So? There are always ups and downs in business. It’s not a big deal. Your Uncle Zhu will definitely turn things around!”

“Oh, that’s good. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the little money I have won’t be of much help,” Fang Xi lightly replied.

No one spoke for a moment. The scene fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. The children, who were gorging themselves, looked left and right with food still in their mouths, not understanding why suddenly no one was talking.

Fang Xi waited for Xi Yue to speak. She knew the word “awkwardness” never existed in her mother’s dictionary. The reason her mother wasn’t saying anything now was probably because she was trying to decide how to state her objective.

Fang Xi was dead certain that Ms. Xi Yue was here to ask for money, and from the looks of it, it probably wasn’t a small sum. But when Xi Yue finally spoke, Fang Xi was stunned.

“We don’t expect any big help from you. We just want you to introduce your sisters to the young and talented men around you. Also, your brother Zhu Ping isn’t young anymore. We want to find him a daughter from a wealthy family that’s a good match with ours!”

Fang Xi froze. ‘…What?! Is she asking me to be a matchmaker?’ Fang Xi stared at Xi Yue, and her pupils constricted. ‘My mother! Always making use of every conceivable means to achieve her goals.’

Seeing that Fang Xi didn’t say anything, Xi Yue guessed that she was still too shocked to react, so she spoke bluntly: “You don’t have to go through much trouble, we’ve already picked out the candidates. You only need to be the middleman and introduce them to your brother and sisters. The rest is up to them.”

“You can rest easy on that aspect. We won’t rely on you to help us with anything else. We, the Zhu family, still have our pride! You know your two sisters; with their looks and character, they definitely won’t disgrace you. Your brother is also equally outstanding. He’ll certainly be a great support to his sisters in the future!”

Xi Yue went on, “Married women get all their confidence from their birth family! Otherwise, who can they turn to when they have a hard time in the family they marry into? You must not be having an easy time in the Ye family yourself. Otherwise, why didn’t you treat us to a meal at a hotel under the Ye family? Mom understands your difficulties! So, look, I’m here to send you your aides!”

Once the topic was opened, it was easy to continue. Ms. Xi Yue had relied on her silver tongue to help her plot her way into happiness all her life. Seeing that her daughter didn’t speak… She wouldn’t give her a chance to speak, either.

Xi Yue carried on, saying, “The first candidate who caught our eyes is Ye Kun’s brother, Ye Tang!” Xi Yue beamed exultantly.

Fang Xi couldn’t help but gasp. Her gaze unwittingly swept past Zhu An and Zhu Li. The two of them were blushing shyly. ‘How daring! They really know how to pick their men!’ Fang Xi couldn’t help but sincerely praise them.

Xi Yue said proudly, “We were fortunate enough to attend a banquet together with Ye Tang when he was overseas. Your two sisters fell in love with him at first sight. Pity that kind of occasion isn’t conducive to deep communications. In addition, your two sisters are simply too well-behaved. With how meek, modest, and frugal they are, how would they know anything about wooing men? But what a coincidence, right? The person you married happened to be Ye Tang’s little brother. Now, if one of your sisters gets married to Ye Tang, you’ll all be one big family! It’s obviously fated to be!”

Xi Yue smiled happily. “Fang Xi, this matter is of utmost importance. You have to do a good job. No matter who is chosen by Ye Tang in the end, whether it be Anna or Lina, it’ll still be your sisters who will become your sister-in-law. The Ye family will belong to you sisters in the future, and you girls can support and help each other out! How great is that? Sounds blissful, doesn’t it?”

Xi Yue was immersed in her own fantasy, unable to extricate herself, her face full of pride. Zhu An and Zhu Li at the side blushed and lowered their heads.

Fang Xi was truly amused by this one-sided, wishful blueprint of their lives and said, “Why don’t you let me fork out some money instead?”

Fang Xi finally understood Yun Nan’s phrase: “Any problem that money can solve isn’t a problem.”

‘That’s right!’ Fang Xi thought. ‘There are some problems money can’t solve! Problems that can’t be solved even with all the money in the world!’

Xi Yue didn’t get it and was stumped. “Why would I want your money?” she asked.

Fang Xi sighed and stated frankly, “This matchmaking job… I can’t do it!”

“Why? Don’t tell me you won’t even help us with such a small matter!” Xi Yue shouted exaggeratedly.
