He nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. You have some self-awareness, at least."
Su Ye reached up and silently clutched her chest as a knot of frustration formed within.
She stood up and walked toward the door.
"I'll be leaving now."
Just as she was about to step out of the study, Su Jiuguo repeated with the utmost gravity,
"Brothels, taverns—anywhere is fine, but not him. Get that idea out of your head. I don't ask much of you, but the Su Family's assets cannot be swindled away by some outsider."
The implication was clear. It wouldn't matter so much if Su Ye herself were swindled. But Su Ye was the family's sole heir. If she were deceived, the entire Su Family's fortune would go with her.
'Stay away from Su Qing.' This was her father's last-ditch effort.
Su Ye listened and nodded.
"I understand."
Having agreed, she hurried from the study and returned to her courtyard.
