Bai Zhengli was only worried that Bai Ye might have gone too far in front of Fang Jintang and upset him, so he spoke up aimlessly. In his view, he was doing it entirely for his troublesome and foolish son, Bai Ye! As soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Ye gave him a fierce glare—what did you bring that up for!
Bai Zhengli suddenly realized his mistake. Just last night, he had comforted Fang Yuxin, saying that she didn't have to push too hard on the grain issue. Besides, these kinds of things don't yield good results overnight. Consider Qian Sen, who is a renowned botanist, yet after months of research, there was no progress. How could Fang Yuxin get results after just one night?
He really hit a sore point!
