Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

The three buddies were drinking tea, and Jiang Chengyun was the most talkative. Before long, he brought up the topic again.

He leaned closer to Mu Wangbei and said, "Do you have any photos? Show them to me what you look like that could make you fall for me."

He had always been curious about just how beautiful Yun Qiao was when she said she was incredibly beautiful. It's not a big deal for a man to praise a woman; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But it's truly rare for a woman to praise another woman.

Mu Wangbei did have a photo of Fang Youxi on his phone, the selfie she sent him last night, but he didn't intend to show it to Chi Mo and Jiang Chengyun. Relationships are a very private matter, and he didn't have the habit of sharing them.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "No."

Jiang Chengyun rolled his eyes at Mu Wangbei in disappointment: "You're so tiring to talk. You can't even bring anyone along, not even a photo. What kind of relationship are you talking about?"

Chi Mo, annoyed by Jiang Chengyun's gossip, asked Mu Wangbei, "Do your parents know?"

"I know, I'll bring her home for dinner in a while."

Jiang Chengyun and Chi Mo exchanged a glance. This was serious. They became even more curious about Fang Youxi.

Yun Qiao glanced at Mu Wangbei. She knew about the Mu family's background. If the Jiang family was considered unapproachable, then the Mu family in Beicheng was even more prestigious. Mu Wangbei's grandfather was a big shot who could only be seen on TV before. His father, Minister Mu Huai, was still in office and had the potential for further promotion. It was quite surprising to Yun Qiao that Mu Wangbei valued this Miss Fang so much.

Almost instinctively, Yun Qiao sighed, "Miss Fang is so lucky."

Chi Mo glanced at Yun Qiao but didn't say anything. Jiang Chengyun's face fell, and he also remained silent.

Seeing Yun Qiao's embarrassed expression, Mu Wangbei took the initiative to change the subject.

The group chatted about other things, mainly about Chi Mo's situation in Shencheng. After finishing this project, Chi Mo was considering leaving the military. He was almost thirty years old and had been living cautiously all these years because of his work, afraid of making any mistakes and bringing shame to the Chi family. Who knew that his father wasn't afraid of losing face? His mother had only been gone for less than three years, and that woman was already heavily pregnant. Chi Mo felt bored and tired and wanted to change his way of life.

While they were talking, Mu Wangbei glanced at his phone again. It had been a whole day, and Fang Youxi hadn't sent him a single WeChat message.

Today's family banquet at the Tang family's old house can be described as a grand affair, with "six bachelors making a spectacle."

Fang Youxi felt that four idioms could be used to describe it: outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, pretentious, mutually disliking each other, and ultimately undermining each other.

Tang Yi and Tang Ze were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, while Lu Yanli put on airs and also disliked Song Jin. In the end, everyone was undermining each other.

If Lu Yanli's visit to dinner was a hidden plot, then the matter of his elder brother Tang Yi's marriage was already out in the open.

The Tang family has a cooperative project next year to build an industrial park in a neighboring city. The loan will be provided by Huashang Bank. Chairman Peng of this bank only has one daughter. The old man took charge and directly set the wedding date for Tang Yi in March next year. All in all, the wedding is less than five months away.

Fang Youxi saw the flame of resistance in Tang Yi's eyes flicker and flicker, but finally it was extinguished.

He's going to meet this Ms. Peng tomorrow, and as her younger sister, Fang Youxi can only wish him "marriage first, love later".

Song Jin had originally intended to make a move on Fang Youxi, but today she has completely given up on that idea.

He only learned today that Lutong Group's international business had been given to the law firm where Fang Youxi works, and that she is currently the designated contact person, having to go to Lutong's office one day a week. Isn't this a perfect case of being in a favorable position?

Like Tang Ze, he has no say in the family business. What can he use to please Fang Youxi?

And Lu Yanli, the one loading the goods, why is he in such a good mood today? He's flattering the old man like he's the most polite person around.

Everyone in the circle knows that Lu Yanli is a wicked and cunning man. But today, people who don't know him might think he's Tang's biological son.

The old man was incredibly attentive to Lu Yanli. Anyone with eyes could see, no, even a blind person could see that he was already the chosen grandson-in-law of the Tang family. Tang Zhanghe originally wanted to compare them more, but after the comparison, the difference was immediately apparent. Song Jin, sitting next to Lu Yanli, was completely outclassed. He became increasingly satisfied with Lu Yanli.

As long as this hidden plot remains hidden, Fang Youxi is prepared to continue playing dumb. As long as the truth isn't revealed, she can convincingly maintain this silliness.

She had reason to believe that as soon as she brought it up, the old man and Elder Tang would be able to set a wedding date. If she dared to say that she was in a relationship, Mu Wangbei's ancestors for eight generations would be able to dig up his past.

Fang Youxi wasn't curious about Mu Wangbei's family background because she had never thought about getting married. Marriage and having children were completely outside of her life plans. She wasn't targeting anyone, and she didn't want to make things get out of control, otherwise there would be endless troubles and no one would have a moment's peace.

Fang Youxi was a little surprised that Lu Yanli was not very cooperative. He didn't seem like the kind of person who could settle down. Why was he pretending to be a filial son and grandson in front of the old man?

After a meal, there were 10086+ scheming minds at the table.

Song Jin was about to leave after finishing his meal; he had really been a bit shaken up today.

Tang Ze had already told him not to have any hope, but he didn't know where he got the confidence to insist on being a supporting character for Lu Yanli. Fang Youxi was alright, being impartial and polite, but the old man and Tang Zhanghe's attitude was really bullying.

Tang Ze looked at Lu Yanli and found him rather interesting. He quietly asked Tang Yi, "Big brother, is he really interested?"

"Didn't you notice that Tangtang was practicing Tai Chi the whole time? Grandpa and Dad were the only ones enthusiastic."

Fang Youxi, that troublemaker, didn't need him to say anything. Tang Ze raised an eyebrow: "I'm talking about Lu Yanli."

Tang Yi glanced at Lu Yanli, who was playing chess with his grandfather, and scoffed, "He probably overestimated his charm. Our sister is heartless and cruel; she doesn't even fancy him."

Tang Ze: ...

That's why Tang Yi is the eldest brother; this summary is truly insightful.
