If Zhao Jing really did rise up the ranks in the future, how could having such a connection be a bad thing for their family?
But it was too late to think about that now. Mrs. Xie was also unwilling to admit that she had been so short-sighted as to cut off such a connection.
Gathering her thoughts, she said to Zhu Tongzhi, "Naturally, it's not impossible, but I think the chances are slim to none. No matter how promising Zhao Jing is, he won't make a name for himself for at least eight to ten years. If the Xu family truly intended to build a relationship, having Xu Yanlin step forward would be enough. There was no need for Xu Shiling to show up."
Zhu Tongzhi added, "Perhaps Xu Shiling was invited by Mr. Sheng specifically to show support for the Chen family?"
"That's not impossible either. But I lean more toward the possibility that Chen Song's wife is the missing daughter from the Xu family."
