The Li family elder shifted his gaze away from her and scoffed lightly, \"Do you plan on living here forever?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang raised her eyebrow, \"Is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder was momentarily at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he spoke with a grave tone, \"You aren’t married yet. Living together will only attract criticism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a teasing smile played on Ye Jiuliang’s lips, \"That’s true, it seems we should get the registration done first. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She countered each move he made, leaving the old man gasping with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wrinkles around the elder’s eyes tightened as he scolded, \"You little girl, you know very well that’s not what I mean. Don’t deliberately twist my words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang feigned ignorance, \"Then what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have to be with Mohan?\" The elder didn’t beat around the bush and asked bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang nonchalantly hummed in response, unruffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder’s sharp gaze pierced her as he continued, \"What if I don’t agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly, \"It doesn’t matter, since I never planned to marry Li Mochan anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, a look of confusion crossed the old man’s taut face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eyed her suspiciously, probing, \"You’re not going to marry Mohan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if the young girl was deceiving him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang nodded lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to fool me?\" The elder was puzzled, wondering if she was taking advantage of his old age to lie to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved into a slight smile, \"What good would fooling you do me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to wait, the elder pressed, \"So you’re not planning to be with Mohan anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the young girl had come to her senses and was willing to separate from Mohan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could rejoice, Ye Jiuliang’s next statement shattered his hopes, \"That’s out of the question. I have no reason to let go of the person I have set my heart on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder’s face turned blue with rage, \"Ye Jiuliang, what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was outrageous; she was clearly making a fool of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a captivating smile on her red lips, Ye Jiuliang said leisurely, \"Li Mochan has agreed to marry me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subtext was clear; she didn’t care about entering the Li family, and it didn’t matter if the old man didn’t like her. After all, it was Li Mochan marrying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bold declaration caused Tie Shan to become disheveled in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their Fifth Master was marrying her, wouldn’t that mean he was becoming a live-in son-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Ye was indeed extraordinary. Only she dared say such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder slammed the table, speaking sternly, \"Since ancient times, only women marry into men’s families, not the other way around. You’re speaking absolute nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had one son; she dreamt too beautifully if she thought his son would marry into her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang already anticipated the elder’s reaction. Laughter danced in her eyes, and, as if to further provoke him, she added, \"It was Li Mochan who agreed. He said he had a dowry for me when I mentioned I had no bride price for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then continued, \"But I think that’s not quite right. After all, you raised him with great effort, so I should still offer something for the bride price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just shut up.\" The old man nearly had a heart attack from anger as he bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even provide a dowry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she lost her mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damn Li Mochan, he wouldn’t rest until he drove him to his grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can forget it. My son will absolutely not marry into your family. Get that thought out of your head,\" the elder stated through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unintimidated, Ye Jiuliang laughed, \"I think it would be more useful for you to go back and persuade Li Mochan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder glared at her displeased, feeling extremely aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that damn Mohan was willing to listen to him, he’d light incense to thank the ancestors of the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl stands and talks without caring for her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced at the clock on the wall, it was almost twelve o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her gaze back to the Li family’s elderly master and asked indifferently, \"Will you have lunch here with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master of the Li family snorted, appreciating that she still had some manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face softened slightly, \"Can you cook?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" she replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master of the Li family frowned, wondering why she asked when they did not have any servants here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly thereafter, the footsteps outside the door grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Shan turned his head to look, as the swath of black clothing swept through the air with a stark arc, the man entered with firm steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li,\" greeted Tie Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan nodded, his gaze sweeping past the uninvited elder, his thin lips pressed together slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal, what’s with that look?\" The old master of the Li family’s face darkened, his tone quite dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if he’s here to bully Ye Jiuliang, but does he even see if that girl is someone who can be bullied?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father,\" called Li Mochan coolly, then walked straight to Ye Jiuliang’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang offered him a segment of orange, her smiling eyes tinged with warmth, \"Want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan bent down to bite the orange she offered, his chilly voice softening, \"What would you like for lunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chicken drumsticks.\" She had been eyeing the big drumsticks in the refrigerator for a long time, just waiting for him to come back and cook for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan reached out to ruffle her hair, \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fit of severe coughing came from across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sets of eyes looked over, the old master of the Li family stopped coughing and hummed discontentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of man cooks? It’s disgraceful.\" The little girl can’t cook, and now his son is doing it; he’s never even eaten food cooked by his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow; she seemed to detect a note of sourness in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan withdrew his gaze, not saying anything, and turned to walk toward the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rascal,\" the old master of the Li family muttered softly as he watched his son’s retreating back, \"always favoring that girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang, with sharp ears, heard every word he muttered, a barely detectable smile appearing on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found that the old master of the Li family wasn’t so annoying after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the air was filled with a tempting aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang put down her book, noting that the man across from her didn’t seem to intend to leave. Her gaze shifted as she said tactfully, \"Old Master Li, it’s past noon already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master of the Li family glanced at her coldly, \"What, you want me to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly, \"I didn’t say that. I just wanted to ask if you would like to join us for a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master of the Li family turned his head away, grunting awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding the sly smile in her eyes, Ye Jiuliang stood up and walked towards the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mohan, your dad doesn’t want to eat the food you make, no need to set an extra place,\" she said in an even tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words reached the old master of the Li family’s ears, and he stood up briskly, indignant, \"Who said I’m not eating? Don’t spout nonsense, girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should she be the one to eat all the food made by his son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Tie Shan bowed his head to hide his laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master of the Li family turned around, and he immediately resumed his expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","d986d7716a1eb568b31f1ccee19e98fa7c820c5098b043cfc08753da39b9ccae","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-358","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-356",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
