Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Setting Fire to the House

"When did you go behind my back to see President Ye on your own?"

With Dad's brows furrowed and a serious look on his face, Zhou Xinyao was momentarily baffled. "What happened?"

"Who gave you permission to sign a letter of intent for cooperation without my consent?" Zhou Jingxian tossed the documents onto the table, "This is ridiculous!"

Zhou Xinyao quickly stepped forward, took her dad's arm, and spoke softly, "What's the matter? I just thought it was an opportunity we shouldn't miss. Plus, at that time I didn't know Cousin had land. I approached President Ye because I was afraid someone else would get there first. Is there a problem?"

"Of course, there's a problem," Zhou Jingxian looked at his daughter, the harsh words on his tongue but he couldn't bring himself to say them, and he just sighed, "Ah, you don't understand the situation. There are many disputes over the X19 land, and they're not so easily resolved."
