One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 823 - 821: Ye Dashi Extra Story (10)

"Compensate for the losses?" Phoenix murmured, "This is the new cosmetic product our Feng Family developed with all our wealth, but now... we simply have no ability to afford any loss."

As the CFO, Feng Ling was of course aware of this; every investment poured out went through her hands. It could be said that the Feng Family is already teetering on the brink. If the other side won’t accept the goods and insists on compensation, the Feng Family will promptly vanish from H City.

Compared with the other three major families, the Feng Family’s foundation isn’t that solid. Phoenix’s parents started from scratch back then, and achieving this was already quite an accomplishment.

Five years ago, the two elders of the Feng Family unfortunately encountered a major traffic accident during a road trip, and both perished.

The Feng Family has no sons, so the burden naturally fell on the eldest daughter. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Feng Ling was certainly aware of this, and because she knew, she was trembling, her mind a complete mess, "Big sister, you personally oversaw the new product, how could there be a problem? Is there something we don’t know?"

Phoenix’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "The priority now is to minimize the losses and then pinpoint the problematic link during the development of the new product."

"Second sister." Her gaze suddenly darkened.

"What?" Feng Ling sensed something unusual had happened, not company-related, but something else, "Big sister, what do you want to say?"

Phoenix sighed, "Our little sister is still in school, and you’re almost at the age where you should be seeking a husband. As the eldest sister, I can’t let you suffer."

Feng Ling’s heart trembled slightly, "Big sister, what are you talking about? You’ve already sacrificed so much for this family. Since our parents died, you have been taking care of me and our little sister. What do you mean you can’t let us suffer? What about yourself? Are you supposed to suffer?"

"I’m the eldest sister!" Phoenix chuckled, "Before you came back, someone from the Ye Family came proposing."

"The Ye Family?" Feng Ling didn’t react initially, "Which Ye Family?"

Phoenix chuckled, "Which Ye Family in H City could have ties with us?"

"Good heavens!" Feng Ling widened her eyes, "That useless fool is trying to marry someone. Big sister, it can’t be..."

"It’s me." Phoenix stated directly, "I was certainly against it initially, but now... it’s a different matter altogether. Actually, at my age, I should be getting married. If I and Ye Zheng reach a consensus for a formal marriage, I wouldn’t oppose."

"Big sister, you can’t." Feng Ling was furious, "How can that scoundrel match you? Besides, you’re not..."

She was a bit hesitant to speak, though she’s not opposed to it. Love knows no gender; she just feels her sister is too wronged to make such a decision for the Feng Family.

"It’s fine." Phoenix stated calmly, "This matter is tentatively decided. Later I’ll go talk to Ye Zheng."

"Big sister, don’t be impulsive. Marriage is a lifelong matter, you—"

"I was never normal to begin with." Phoenix interrupted in a deep voice, "Someone like me never had any happiness to speak of, so don’t interfere. As long as you and our little sister are okay, that’s enough."

"I’m fine."

Feng Ling wanted to say more but ultimately held back; she knew her big sister’s temperament well. Once decided, no one can change it.

...

Phoenix is a straightforward person; she arranged a meeting with Ye Zheng the very next day.

Now the two were sitting in the coffee shop where they met last time, staring at each other, neither willing to speak first.
