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

Jiang Chengyun is a good eater and sleeper; he's known for his carefree attitude and his "live for today" mentality.

He's finally at peace without Yun Qiao. Grandpa Mu is going back to Beicheng today, and he and his parents will visit him tonight. Tan Jia's parents are in Shencheng, so she'll go there on their behalf.

That evening, the Mu family's villa in Xishan was quite crowded. Chen Lai watched the chef prepare the food and pastries, the doctor stayed by the old man's side, and Mu Wangbei greeted the guests who came to visit.

When Jiang Chengyun's family arrived, several groups had already come. It's always like this for the first few days after they returned, and they'll be busy.

The old man was in good spirits, chatting with several people. When Mrs. Jiang saw Chen Lai, she went straight over to greet him: "Professor Chen, I heard your Wang Bei is dating? Has any girl come today?"

Chen Lai felt uncomfortable talking about this, and forced a smile: "The child is all grown up now, and he doesn't let us interfere anymore. Let him be, nothing's settled yet."

So this means she hasn't even been married yet. Oh dear, could it be that she's found some unattractive woman outside, just like her good-for-nothing son?

This was also a source of great concern for Madam Jiang.

Logically speaking, Wang Bei had never caused his family any trouble since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he was just as troublesome as his rascal in this area. She finally found something to talk about and sighed, "That's right, none of these kids are easy to deal with. Your Wang Bei is also very generous. One watch costs five million. Although the family is not short of these, we can't spend money like this even if we have mountains of gold and silver."

Chen Lai was unaware of this turn of events, and her heart skipped a beat. If she were a real daughter-in-law, the family business would eventually be handed over to her, and spending some money wouldn't be a problem. But she had never even met this girl, and she was afraid that she was cunning.

She wouldn't say anything in front of others, she just smiled and said, "Grandma Wangbei handed over all the family property to him, so we can't control that much. He's almost thirty, so it's no big deal for him to spend a little money."

Madam Jiang pursed her lips, not daring to say anything more.

The shops that Grandma Mu brought as part of her dowry are now located in the central urban area of ​​Beicheng. Half of the commercial street belongs to the Mu family. With three generations of accumulation, they naturally wouldn't care about such a small amount of money.

When Tan Jia arrived, Jiang Chengyun and Mu Wangbei were chatting in the courtyard.

The people who came this time were all old acquaintances. They knew the old man had returned and came to take a look, so there was no need for special greetings.

Tan Jia first greeted Mu Wangbei: "Brother Wangbei."

Mu Wangbei greeted him politely, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, and thank you for making this trip."

"Grandpa Mu went back to Beicheng. If I hadn't come, my dad would have broken my legs." Tan Jia had just entered the courtyard when she saw Jiang Chengyun there with a bitter face. She asked, "What were you two talking about just now?"

"Just chatting." Jiang Chengyun didn't respond. In fact, what they had just been talking about was related to Tan Jia.

Jiang Chengyun was upset at the thought of getting engaged after the holiday.

He looked irritated, and Mu Wangbei added calmly, "If you really don't want to, no one's forcing you at gunpoint."

No one is holding a gun to his head, but don't people always want to have it all? There's so much competition for military supplies these days, and he needs to eat too.

He didn't bother to bring it up and asked Mu Wangbei, "Not to mention me, and even if you say I'm being nosy, the Lu family matter is a real worry for your old man. It's easy for you to go to the Tang family, but it will probably be difficult for her to get into the Mu family."

Mu Wangbei knew Jiang Chengyun meant no harm, but he was still annoyed, so he asked Jiang Chengyun for a cigarette, and the two of them smoked together.

Seeing that the other person was unwilling to talk, Tan Jia didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she asked, "Where's Grandpa Mu?"

Jiang Chengyun replied, "My dad is inside chatting with him."

"Then I'll go in and say hello." She smiled, and Mu Wangbei patted Jiang Chengyun on the shoulder: "Let's go in together."

Tan Jia's father used to be the old man's subordinate, and he knew many people in this circle. When he saw the young girl arrive, the old man smiled and said, "Jiajia is here, come and sit down."

Seeing Jiang Chengyun, she looked disgusted: "I heard from your dad that you and Jiajia are getting married. You've never been settled since you were little, you'd better settle down this time."

Tan Jia smiled and said, "Grandpa Mu will back me up. If Brother Chengyun treats me badly, you can teach him a lesson."

"Oh dear, I can't handle it. Let Lao Jiang discipline him himself." Grandpa Mu said, then couldn't help but grumble a bit when he saw his grandson: "Chengyun is two months younger than Wangbei, right? My Wangbei should be worried too, he's almost thirty."

Madam Jiang and Chen Lai arrived together and overheard the conversation. Jiang Chengyun's mother greeted Tan Jia warmly, saying, "Jiajia's here!"

She was satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Although the Tan family was not in Beicheng, Tan Jia's father might be promoted next year, and her son was in the business of this kind. In the future, she would need her father-in-law to take care of her. The old man had taken this seriously and carefully selected such a satisfactory in-law. They would be engaged after the New Year.

Knowing that Jiang Chengyun was about to settle down, Chen Lai couldn't help but feel anxious. She pulled her son aside and said, "You won't let your father and me manage things, but now that your grandfather is back, you have to give him an explanation. What kind of behavior is it to just live together like this outside, without any regard for the elders?"

"I told Grandpa myself tonight."

By the time all the guests had left, it was already nine o'clock.

After taking his medicine, Mu Sheng prepared to rest.

Mu Wangbei escorted his grandfather back to his room. Mu Sheng noticed that his grandson had been absent-minded all night and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me? Go ahead."

Nothing can escape the old man's eyes. Mu Wangbei squatted by the bed and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I like a girl and I want to bring her to you to see."

"That's great! Grandpa's been looking forward to you getting married and having children soon. Who knows, Grandpa might even see his great-grandchildren!" Mu Sheng, no longer sleepy, became interested and patted the bedside, saying, "Sit down, tell Grandpa what kind of girl you're looking for."

"She's a really nice girl, beautiful and with a great personality. She's a lawyer, so she's kind of my colleague."

After all that buildup, Mu Sheng beamed, "Have your parents met that girl?"

Mu Wangbei shook his head: "Not yet. I want to show it to Grandpa first."

Suddenly I snapped out of it. This kid didn't let his parents see him first. He came back and squatted here saying all this. Who knows what kind of trouble he's up to?

Mu Sheng knew his grandson's little tricks all too well, and sighed, "Oh dear, this girl is good in every way, except she distracted you all night, and now she comes to have a heart-to-heart talk with her grandfather."

Mu Sheng was known for his violent temper when he was young, and his son Mu Huai was often beaten by him. Even his daughter-in-law was very careful around him.

But when it comes to her grandson, her temper has improved. To be fair, the child is indeed well-behaved, never causes trouble, and is a worry-free person.

He leaned against the bed, his face unusually gentle: "Tell me the 'but,' I want to hear it, what's your approach?"

Mu Wangbei: ...

"Her father is Tang Zhanghe of Tang's Industrial Group."

"Tang's Industries? Which Tang family?" Mu Sheng didn't immediately understand. "The one that's on good terms with Lao Lu?"

His complexion was already quite bad.

Seeing that Mu Wangbei remained silent, that was it.

The Mu family and the Tang family had never had any dealings before. Mu Sheng asked, "Logically speaking, given the relationship between the Tang family and the Lu family, this girl should most likely be paired with Old Lu's grandson. How did she end up with you?"

"We met when she had just returned from abroad. She probably didn't know Lu Yanli back then."

He only listened to half of what was said, especially the unsaid half. Mu Sheng clutched his chest: "So, the Lu and Tang families originally had this idea, but you interfered, right?"

Mu Wangbei: ...

That's not quite right to say it, but it seems to be true.

Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and silently thought: I can't get angry, my blood pressure will rise soon.

He paused for a moment and said, "Do you have any photos? I want to show Grandpa his features."

Mu Wangbei did indeed have a photo on his phone, taken by Fang Youxi in the elevator. It was because he had given her a hickey on the neck, but he didn't dare to show it and could only shake his head and say, "No."

The old man's voice unconsciously rose: "You don't even have a photo, what are you talking about? Does the girl not like you?"

Mu Wangbei thought for a moment about how to express this issue, and then stammered, "It's not that she doesn't like me, it's just that she's relatively young and doesn't really like getting married yet."

Mu Sheng: ...

My blood pressure is already high!!!
