Chapter 357 Our family doesn't want to ruin our reputation.
Ye Siqing's odd behavior was understandable, because Ning Leyi's family business was high-end matchmaking.
It's extremely high-end, encompassing the global elite circles.
His gossip is not without reason; although he is not the heir to the business in this generation, he still maintains a keen sense of the industry.
Or perhaps it's simply a genetic trait in their family...
"You can't blame me for that. No one in your family has registered their mate selection intentions with our family."
Ning Leyi shrugged and picked up another piece of braised pork rib that Song Taotao had given her... Hmm, it was indeed a bit better than the braised pork ribs at school. It seems that she has at least improved her skills as a food broadcaster.
Ye Siqing smiled for no apparent reason.
Ye Yifan definitely has no interest in their family, Ye Jin'er clearly only likes anime characters, and Ye Sanqing hasn't shown any particular inclination yet, but she definitely has her own ideas.
And Ye Wanyin...
Didn't she find happiness on her own?
Ye Wanyin was not far behind Song Taotao; even though she was so busy, she still didn't forget to continue to show goodwill towards Ye Siqing.
But she didn't know that Ye Siqing already knew about what happened when she was a child, otherwise she would definitely have given up.
Ye Siqing didn't block her, but she also didn't reply to her messages, and she didn't even plan to attend this wedding.
As for the others who are more distantly related, let's not talk about Ye Feifan, Ye Feihua has always been abroad, and Ye Yanyu is not old enough yet.
Needless to say, the elders also have their own ways of dating, Ye Xi has her own methods, Ye Jianghe is focused on scientific research, and Ye Tian has his own restrictions.
As for himself... is it that his medical books aren't thick enough, or that he hasn't done enough clinical internships...?
“Our family probably doesn’t need it much. If you want to find clients, you can go to the Lu family. I think they need it a lot.”
Since Ye Wanyin was on her mind, Ye Siqing casually mentioned it, but Ning Leyi's expression changed drastically.
"Their entire family is on the blacklist, so don't even mention it. We don't want to ruin our century-old reputation."
"No, you really don't do business with them?" Ye Siqing asked curiously.
Because, on the surface, it seems that the Lu family's needs are not limited to just one partner. They may have several wives or even multiple mistresses, which would increase the number of potential partners.
"We run a legitimate matchmaking service, not a platform for marriage hunters to climb the social ladder..."
While the so-called "marriage hunter" is quite a good match for the Lu family, the Ning family really doesn't need to lower their standards like this.
Marriage hunters are people who use training courses to enhance their appearance, then select suitable targets, devise strategies, and ultimately achieve their goal of marrying the other party and living a luxurious life. Both men and women can be involved in this.
It's more polite than a pig-butchering scam, and more purposeful than a gold digger scam.
These people had approached the Ning family before, but the Ning family's clients all required verification of funds, so they couldn't escape their notice.
After all, marriage is a major event. Since the Ning family has been running a matchmaking service for over a century, they naturally have their own operating principles.
To put it bluntly, this approach is difficult to implement in modern society, but that doesn't stop a few people with a screw loose from getting on board every year.
Ning Leyi now sees Ye Feifan as someone who's been tricked...
However, it's not quite accurate to call it that, since Song Taotao didn't disguise her identity but instead used other methods to win her over. Her methods were even more sophisticated than those of ordinary marriage hunters.
As for the act of delivering food to Ye Siqing, not only did Ye Siqing feel a little annoyed but also Ning Leyi didn't see anything wrong with it.
The atmosphere in their family was very harmonious, and he had received many kind gestures from his sister-in-law or brother-in-law, so he took it for granted.
This wasn't Ning Leyi's main focus of gossip; he was more interested in Ye Wanyin's wedding over the weekend.
As a family of matchmakers, although they had blocked the Lu family, they still maintained a polite relationship on the surface.
Even if you don't do business with them, at least don't offend them; harmony brings wealth, after all.
"You're not going?"
That's what he thought, so he asked the question, but he didn't expect Ye Siqing to give him a "no" answer.
"What's wrong? Don't I have classes? Do you think I'm in your major, with so much free time all day?"
Although Ning Leyi went to the same school as him, she was not in the medical department.
His schedule wasn't that packed, but he still had classes every day.
"I thought you and her had a pretty good relationship."
Ning Leyi shook his head. What had happened between the New Year and the end of the New Year that he didn't know about?
"That was in the past, it's not like that now."
Ye Siqing said calmly that he had no intention of sharing with anyone outside his family what Ye Wanyin had done to him when he was a child.
He didn't know why, but ever since he realized that "Ye Wanyin has a problem," it was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened up.
Previously, his thought process revolved around Ye Wanyin, but now it's completely different; it's as if Ye Wanyin is a complete stranger to him.
He also began to understand Cheng Yanye...
"Hmm." Ning Leyi looked at him and pondered for a while.
He had been following Ye Wanyin's recent situation through online news.
Ye Wanyin was quite stubborn. Although she apologized, her words still conveyed the message that "I did nothing wrong, I was wronged."
Cheng Yanye's behavior was quite interesting; he actually signed with Chang Le Wei Yang and acted as if he had finally gotten rid of Ye Wanyin...
I don't know if he was driven to madness by the shock.
But it's normal for Cheng Yanye to go crazy. Ye Siqing is usually quite calm, so she shouldn't go crazy too.
"So, you no longer consider her your older sister?"
The implication of Ye Siqing's words is not simply that their relationship is bad.
Logically speaking, even if the relationship is not close, people would still attend their siblings' weddings.
Ye Siqing didn't even go, which means she didn't even bother with superficial politeness.
“You’re right, she’s not my sister, and I shouldn’t treat her like one.”
Ning Leyi suddenly patted his shoulder and laughed loudly, "You should have done this a long time ago."
Then he quickly added Ye Siqing to the "Night City Eat, Drink, and Play Group 2".
Because there were so many people, there was a second group in addition to the first...
Any gossip that can be discussed will circulate between these two groups.
The key personnel were in both groups, including Ning Leyi himself, Cha Ziwen, and Runtu's Cha, etc.
Ye Siqing picked up her phone and was shocked. "Big brother, I need to study! You've added me to a gossip group, how am I supposed to have time to study?"
He was surprised by more than just that; he didn't know they had such a group chat behind his back.
There are many things Ye Siqing doesn't know, such as Ye Jin'er actually staying anonymously in a group, etc...
Of course, nobody knows about this...
"You have no idea how outrageous Ye Wanyin is..."
Ning Leyi pointed to the PDF in the group files and said, "Everyone also made a document listing her crimes. Since you don't consider her your sister anymore, you can naturally look at it too."
Before Ye Siqing could even react, a piece of gossip about him and Cheng Yanye popped up on the screen...
"Haha, sorry..."
Seeing Ye Siqing's stiff expression, Ning Leyi apologized while quickly sending a message in the group chat: "The person involved is here, don't mention this again."
Everyone: [? ? ? 】
