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

On Sunday, everyone went home and went to their parents.

Fang Youxi was right; her father, Tang Zhang, came looking for her at noon.

She was packing her things when someone knocked on the door. She immediately put the box back in the dressing room and opened the door to find that Elder Tang had arrived.

Before she could even pick her dad up from get off work, he came to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

Before coming, Tang Zhanghe even consulted with the four of his fathers in their group chat.

Tang Zhanghe: [Second brother, what's the password to Tang's place? I'll go check on her later and chat with her.]

Tang Ze: [Don't think about it, Dad. She's definitely changed the locks. Besides, your surprise inspection like this isn't very ethical.]

The old man said, "Then go directly to her. Don't beat around the bush. Talk to her properly about the wedding banquet and her marriage. Both families approve of this marriage, so settle it as soon as possible. Don't keep leaving her an out. This is non-negotiable. The elders are ultimately doing it for her own good. How can a young woman not get married?"

It wasn't that Tang Zhang and he wanted to go; it was because he stayed overnight at the old house yesterday, and the old man scolded him all night.

It's simply because Fang Youxi is like this today that it's all due to his inaction.

As a father, he needs to conduct a thorough self-examination.

All the children in the Tang family are in the same boat; they share the same fate, whether it prospers or suffers.

If he hadn't been so soft-hearted, his granddaughter wouldn't have been taken to Australia.

As a result, it is said that Fang Keying is still flying all over the world, with boyfriends everywhere. Her daughter is just a decoration, and she has never been disciplined. She has become like this. If you don't correct her now, do you want her to become the laughing stock of the entire North City in a few years?

He was disciplined to the point that he was even more of a grandson than Tang Ze.

There was no other way but to personally go and talk to my daughter today, to have a heart-to-heart talk, to reason with her and appeal to her emotions, to explain things clearly and thoroughly, and to finalize her marriage with Lu Yanli as soon as possible.

He understood his father's thoughts. The marriage between the Lu and Tang families was not only because Lu Yanli was outstanding, but also because the two families had business dealings with each other. The Lu family's overseas market was growing bigger and bigger, and his father also wanted to get a share of this pie. The marriage was the safest way.

The Tang family needs to develop, and the Lu family also needs a strategic partner with stable funding; it's a win-win situation.

In the WeChat group, Tang Yi was the first to express his concern: "Dad, Tangtang is not easy to deal with. Have you thought about how to talk to her?"

Tang Zhang was at his wit's end. He replied in the group chat, "I'm still her father. How much money has she spent on me over the years? If necessary, I should take economic sanctions. With her meager salary at her law firm, is it even enough to buy a handbag?"

Tang Ze didn't want to discourage his father, but he had to voice his objection: "I heard that Aunt Fang's new husband, Uncle Huo, is very rich. Dad, if Aunt Fang finds out you're being so harsh on Tangtang, we'll easily be looked down upon. Our family has its pride too."

Tang Zhanghe: ...

Even after a divorce, a man should not be looked down upon by his ex-wife's current husband; this is a man's bottom line.

Tang Zhanghe: [Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks and give me some practical advice?]

Tang Ze: [Why don't you buy a limited edition bag before you come over? It'll make the atmosphere more harmonious.]

Tang Yi [Seconded. How about buying a car? Tangtang doesn't even have a car yet. We have so many cars at home, but she doesn't drive them, insisting that taking taxis is more convenient. I think she's just waiting for your opinion, Dad. She's been back in China for so long, and apart from living expenses, you haven't given her any money. She even added a cashmere sweater to her outfit. Your gift was the most expensive one you bought us last time.]

The eldest son is usually not very talkative, but this time he surprisingly posted a long message, which shows that he cares a lot about his younger sister.

Tang Ze: [Dad, she swindled 400,000 yuan from me while shopping last time. Could you reimburse me for that?]

Tang Zhanghe: "Get out of here, none of them are easy to deal with."

The old man said, "Where do you want me to go at my age?"

Tang Zhanghe: ...

Driven by a strong survival instinct, he immediately sent a message in the group chat: "Dad, I'm already leaving."

He had never been to this house before. Tang Ze owned quite a few properties, which made it convenient for him to pick up girls. However, the location was good, very close to Haotian Police Station, and the security was also good. He felt relatively at ease with his daughter living here.

"Sugar, Daddy's here to see you. Have you eaten?"

Fang Youxi took Tang Zhanghe's arm and said, "Dad, if you haven't eaten, I can order takeout for you. I can't cook."

"It's not good to always eat takeout if you can't cook. How about Dad pays to hire a nanny to take care of you?"

"It's better to give it to me in cash; that way, I can feel my dad's love for me more directly."

Tang Zhanghe clutched his chest, silently telling himself not to be angry. What kind of child is this? All he cares about is money.

The father and daughter beat around the bush, never getting to the point. Fang Youxi knew why her father had come: she hadn't gone to the old house yesterday, and Lu Yanli had lost face. The old man was probably putting pressure on her to bring up the blind date, and her father had come to sound him out.

The reason she didn't urgently refuse or protest the blind date with Lu Yanli was because she didn't want her family to keep arranging things for her. If Lu Yanli wasn't available, then Zhang Yanli or Li Yanli would be even more troublesome. As long as things hadn't reached a critical point, she would play it safe and use delaying tactics.

She couldn't even change herself, let alone expect to change her grandfather's and father's traditional thinking. The reason she returned to Beicheng was because the Tang family was quite lively. It was too lonely in Australia, and she needed this kind of warmth and life.

Tang Zhanghe sat on the sofa, mentally rehearsing several versions of his answer before finally tentatively asking, "You didn't come home yesterday, and Yanli asked about you. Dad thinks he cares about you quite a bit. What do you think of him?"

"Not bad." Fang Youxi was too lazy to boil water, so she handed a bottle of mineral water to Tang Zhanghe and sat cross-legged on the sofa, swaying back and forth. "The business that Lutong Group gave us is just the tip of the iceberg. Our boss said that if I can sign other versions of Lutong's legal business next year, he will give me the credit. I calculated that if I can sign them, it will be around 15 million. I can get at least 3 million in hand. This annual salary is already very considerable for a newcomer who has just returned to the country."

"No matter what, money is the most important thing." Tang Zhang felt a lump in his throat, and his face turned red with anger.

"Can't you be a little more ambitious? If you marry Lu Yanli, you'll become Lu Tong's boss's wife, earning more than three million a year!" Tang Zhanghe said angrily, cutting to the chase and making his point bluntly.

Fang Youxi wasn't worried at all, still pacing back and forth: "You can't say that, Dad. What if we get divorced after only a few days of marriage? We might even have to lose the dowry you gave me. Wouldn't you have a heart attack then?"

Tang Zhanghe immediately lost his temper, pointing at Fang Youxi's nose and yelling, "My heart is already feeling really uncomfortable. You were so cute as a little cotton candy when you were little, how come you're so infuriating now? You little ungrateful thing, how could I have given birth to such an infuriating brat like you?"

Fang Youxi was still lingering there, replying unhurriedly, "It's already happened, there's no going back now. Who told you and Mom to only care about your own pleasure and not take any contraceptive measures? I haven't even complained yet."

Tang Zhanghe: ...

He already wants to go back; really, his heart is starting to hurt.
