Prince Yu was speechless. "If you're looking for an alternative path, you'd be better off getting to know the young lady of the Xiang family. You might even attract Dean Chen's attention that way."
"You want me to suck up to her, Uncle?"
"It would be an accomplishment if you could," Prince Yu said after a moment's thought. "In any case, it's always good to be on friendly terms. If you could... ah, never mind. She might not even give you the time of day."
"What do you mean by that, Uncle?" 'He was the one who looked down on that pig-head.'
"From now on, you will treat her with respect when you see her. You are representing Nanyuan. If you cause trouble, you will bring shame upon Nanyuan. Understand?"
"I know, I know. I won't call her that to her face," Helian Chen grumbled.
