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

Mu Sheng had his own plans. The reason he wanted to meet the Tang family girl before the Spring Festival was because he was worried that too many people would come to visit during the Spring Festival. If Fang Youxi was there at that time, it would be equivalent to the Mu family acknowledging her relationship with Mu Wangbei. If things didn't work out in the future, it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

Given the relationship between the Lu and Mu families, the story can easily become distorted over time, especially since the grandson is pursuing a career in government; we should be careful.

He didn't expect that despite his grandson's elaborate efforts to persuade and plead with the Tang family girl at home, she still wouldn't give in.

Imagine how a grandfather must feel to have his own child being manipulated like this.

Even if he is incredibly open-minded and indulges his grandson in everything, there are still some things that need to be made clear beforehand.

If this drags on, Wang Bei will only sink deeper into trouble. He must see him.

With the Lunar New Year just past, most people have already started letting ducks roam freely.

As a lawyer, there aren't many important cases on hand, and the working hours are relatively flexible. If it weren't for Lu Tong's project, Fang Youxi could be resting right now.

Speaking of Ms. Zhao Xiaojing's case, she finally got the court's scheduling and had everything ready.

As a result, Ms. Zhao reconciled with Mr. Chen Yaogang. On the day of the hearing, she was notified to prepare for the court hearing. When she called, Ms. Zhao was still in bed. There was a rustling sound on the other end of the line, and she could feel the unusual atmosphere even through the phone screen.

"Court hearing? When? The day after tomorrow?"

"What court hearing? Are you out of your mind? What lawyer is so blind? You're an old married couple, sleeping in the same bed until this late, and she's still trying to get you to divorce her?"

"Keep your voice down, I need to see how you behave~"

Fang Youxi silently hung up the phone. In all honesty, she had never encouraged Ms. Zhao to get a divorce. It was Ms. Zhao who paid a 120% premium and spent real money to have her file for divorce.

In the end, she was caught in the middle, disliked by both sides.

Mediation would actually save her trouble. She was afraid that if Ms. Zhao got upset, she would have to go to court again, which would lead to a lot of back and forth. So she didn't do that.

Fang Youxi silently made a vow to herself: if she takes on another domestic lawsuit, she's a dog!!!

She wasn't very busy today and planned to leave work early.

Around 4 PM, I was still thinking about whether I should call Mu Wangbei and have dinner together that night, maybe even kiss him or something.

Before the call could even be made, Grandpa Mu Wangbei called instead.

This was truly outrageous. Such a big shot was waiting for a small lawyer like her in her car downstairs. Even if Fang Youxi had no sense of social etiquette, she was still extremely nervous and didn't dare to delay, so she quickly went downstairs.

As expected, they are grandfather and grandson, driving the same car as Mu Wangbei, except the license plate is a bit scary.

The personal secretary beside him said politely, "Miss Fang, the old man would like to have a word with you. Please."

As soon as she got into the car, Mu Sheng handed her a cup of coffee, saying kindly, "I don't know what young people like to drink these days, so I bought you a cup of coffee. Don't mind it, young lady."

Fang Youxi took the coffee and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Don't blame Grandpa for being abrupt. I'm going to visit an old friend today. I was passing by here when Wang Bei told me you work here, so I thought I'd call you down to meet me. The young lady is indeed beautiful; no wonder my grandson likes her."

This is an era that values ​​appearance. On the first meeting, no one will be interested in looking beyond your unremarkable appearance to explore your noble and rich soul. Fang Youxi did not feel abrupt. She smiled and said, "Grandpa Mu looks particularly energetic. He looks north like you and has a righteous air about him."

This counts as returning the compliment, and it complimented two people at once. Mu Sheng nodded. The girl was quite generous, not timid, quick-witted, and articulate.

"I heard you grew up in Australia with your mother. Are you getting used to living in Beicheng now?"

"I'm quite used to it. I lived here until I was eight years old, so this is my home." Fang Youxi said frankly. She figured that since the old man had come to see her, he probably already knew a lot about her, so there was no need to hide anything.

However, he had a somewhat condescending attitude, but since he was her elder, she didn't mind.

"Are you considering returning to Australia after this?"

Fang Youxi answered honestly, "I don't know. I'm quite used to living here now. Maybe one day I'll want to go back."

She didn't want to deceive her elders; Mu Sheng's visit today must have been for more than just seeing her.

"Grandpa Mu, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I won't hide anything from you."

Mu Sheng nodded; this was a straightforward child.

"Grandpa heard that you were engaged to that boy from the Lu family before? It might just be a rumor. Wang Bei might have told you that we had some unpleasantness with the Lu family before, but that was many years ago."

Fang Youxi said frankly, "Indeed, the elders had this idea, but we talked it out later. Besides being ordinary friends, Lu Yanli and I also have a business relationship. I took on a project for their group. Now I provide legal services to Lu Tong."

"You're a lawyer, whatever project you take on is your job, you don't need to explain to anyone." So far, Mu Sheng is still quite satisfied with Fang Youxi. This girl is somewhat beyond his expectations, she is generous, frank and sincere.

He had seen countless people in his life, and his eyes revealed intelligence, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions; he didn't seem like the type to scheme.

Why not get straight to the point: "Have you thought about a long-term relationship with Wang Bei? Do you two have any plans for the future that you could tell Grandpa?"

Fang Youxi really thought about this question seriously. To be honest, so far, she still likes Mu Wangbei a lot, more than just a little bit; she likes him a lot.

But it wasn't enough for her to love him enough to plunge headlong into the grave of marriage. She knew it had nothing to do with Mu Wangbei; it was her own problem.

She herself had no expectations or confidence in marriage or love; she just wanted to be happy one day at a time. She remembered that a blogger on the internet had recommended a book called "Don't Worry About Things 2 Hours and 8 Kilometers Away." Internal conflict had never been her personality.

"Grandpa Mu, I don't know how long you mean by 'long-term.' If we like each other and don't have any fundamental disagreements, we might be together for a long time. If someone insists on breaking this balance and we don't get along so well, then it might be time for this relationship to end. We both studied law and had a verbal agreement not to put too much pressure on each other and to let things take their natural course."

That was certainly honest enough.

In other words, she only considered her own happiness and didn't think about the future.

Her life plan revolves entirely around herself; her grandchildren are not considered a priority or an important part of her life at the moment.

Mu Sheng nodded, still with a kind expression, and suggested, "Grandpa isn't an old-fashioned person. How about this, we'll give you six months. Wang Bei is not young anymore. For a family like ours, a stable marriage is the foundation. He's destined for great things. I only have one grandson, and I can't let any unforeseen accidents happen to his life."

"Although this is the first time Grandpa has met you, I like you from the bottom of my heart. If you still want to go back to Australia or have other plans after six months, then I can only say that Grandpa is not fortunate enough to have you. But my selfish wish is that you will have the chance to become a family with us."

"Grandpa isn't forcing you. You haven't been together for long. In six months, you'll have been together for over a year. You should know each other well enough to know whether you're compatible and whether you want to continue. I believe that with your education and family background, you already have the answer in your hearts. Grandpa is waiting for good news."

For such a high-ranking leader to speak to this extent is already extremely polite.

Fang Youxi nodded and smiled, "I will seriously consider it. Thank you for the coffee, Grandpa Mu."

As she got out of the car, a gust of wind blew by, and Fang Youxi subconsciously pulled her coat tighter. Mu Sheng's car slowly drove away, and she watched until the car disappeared from sight before turning back to the law firm.
