"Fengju!" Mrs. Wang glared at him discontentedly, "What way is this to speak? Fang'er is a girl, how can you expect her to answer such a question without feeling embarrassed?"
"Mother, there are no outsiders here, what is there to be embarrassed about? You underestimate my cousin too much, don't you? If my cousin has no objections, then let's settle this matter now!"
"I'll listen to my older cousin; the Shi family's business naturally takes precedence over some minor matters of personal feelings. Fang'er would not dare let her personal matters interfere with important affairs! Older cousin, please go ahead and do what you must, Fang'er will be fine! No matter how long, Fang'er can wait!" Gu Fangzi's eyes brimmed with tears as she smiled weakly.
Mrs. Wang, upon seeing this, felt both heartache and anger, unable to utter a word as she stared at Shi Fengju.
