No matter how much Ye Xiyuan procrastinated, she could not change the facts.
Now that Murong Yanshu had personally come, she was the matriarch of the Nangong family. If Ye Xiyuan chose to hide and not meet her at this time, wouldn't it imply that she looked down on the Nangong family? Moreover, Murong Yanshu's favor towards her would definitely decrease because of this. It would be a loss outweighing the gain.
Therefore, even though Ye Xiyuan was reluctant, she still came to the living room very quickly.
Upon entering the living room, she saw Murong Yanshu and her parents sitting there, though in very different states. Although Murong Yanshu was a guest, she appeared exceptionally calm and composed, as if she were in her own home, without any discomfort. On the contrary, her parents were very reserved and tense, not at all like the hosts of the house.
