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

Tang Yi was truly speechless. How could Lu Yanli, that petty person, have dragged him into this mess? When did he ever say that?

And can't you ask this kind of thing in a private message? This is WeChat Moments, not some deserted area. There are so many mutual friends here. I bet they're all hiding in this Moments, watching the show.

If you didn't know better, you'd think there was some kind of conflict between the two companies.

It's safe to say that Lu Yanli did this on purpose. He was unhappy about Tangtang being with Mu Wangbei and was secretly plotting revenge at any time. His cunning was as sharp as a needle.

Lu Yanli remembered that his invitation included the entire Tang family, and he had even added her name to it. Just in case Fang Youxi didn't come, he specifically told Tang Yi to remember to invite his sister if she was free. Wasn't that a clear enough hint?

As a result, Tang Zhanghe and Tang Yi came.

It's a good thing he even used his charm that day, inviting a popular female celebrity to be his companion, just to show Fang Youxi that he shouldn't think Lu Yanli is unwanted; he's incredibly popular.

As a result, Fang Youxi didn't show up at all that night.

At the company's annual party, everyone came to toast him, and that night he was almost taken advantage of by that female celebrity.

This debt must be settled with Fang Youxi.

Fang Youxi, confused, looked at Tang Yi and asked, "What's going on?"

Tang Yi was too embarrassed to say it, but Lu Yanli was clearly trying to save face and win back Fang Youxi. He thought that the woman was just a tool and he was now wondering how this guy could have built such a successful overseas market.

Like now, they directly sold him out in the comments section of his WeChat Moments; they have no humanity whatsoever.

Unfortunately, there was someone who loved watching the drama unfold, and he posted a picture of a small stool in the comments section. This idiot was Song Jinye.

Fang Youxi never engages in internal strife; she simply deleted that post on her WeChat Moments.

The world is now peaceful.

Lu Yanli was looking at his phone. It was the New Year holiday, and he had nothing better to do. He wanted to see how Fang Youxi, that heartless woman, would respond to him. She was, after all, a client and a strategic partner. He had invited her to the annual meeting, but she didn't come. Now she was dating Mu Wangbei. Her attitude was outrageous.

When I refreshed the page, the post was gone!

Gone……

What is this attempt to cover up, only to make it more obvious?

Lu Yanli called: "Fang Tangtang, you're quite something. Do you even want to renew your contract next year? With your attitude, do you even act like a business partner? What's wrong with you attending Lu Tong's annual meeting? Are you really that spineless and afraid of Mu Wangbei? Let me tell you, just because of your cowardice, I look down on you, Fang Tangtang."

Tang Yi: "It's me, Yan Li."

Lu Yanli: "What's going on? She's so guilty she won't even answer my calls?"

Fang Youxi gestured to herself, making a W with her hand and then bending her body to the side to make a C.

Tang Yi: "Tangtang went to the bathroom and left her phone on the sofa. I saw it was your call, so I picked it up and answered it."

"Are you kidding me, Tang Yi? She just deleted that post on her WeChat Moments. Do you two siblings think I'm an idiot?"

Tang Yi: "Since you already know, why did you still call and humiliate yourself?"

Lu Yanli: ...

He slammed the phone down. Seriously, his heart was pounding with anger, like it was being hammered. He refused to believe it and insisted on challenging Fang Youxi to see how long she could hide.

Fang Youxi's mood was not affected at all, and she even comforted Tang Yi: "He's like a madman, he's always getting angry, he'll be fine in a bit."

So you two know each other quite well.

Tang Yi kindly reminded her, "You can't hide from him forever; he's coming to our house to wish us a Happy New Year tomorrow afternoon."

Fang Youxi: "Is the relationship between the Lu family and our family this good? Doesn't he have any relatives to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

"Grandpa Lu remembers the kindness of our family when we were in trouble. He comes to our house every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Before, when you were little, Uncle Lu came instead, so you don't remember."

Seeing that Fang Youxi didn't speak, Tang Yi added, "Grandpa wanted to match you with Yanli before because of the friendship between the two families. If you marry into the Lu family, they won't make you suffer any grievances. Dad even wanted to give you our shares in Lutong as part of your dowry, and Grandpa agreed. They feel they owe you something."

"So Grandpa and Dad are still so good to Mu Wangbei?"

"That's because you don't want to get married or have children, and you haven't been close to your family over the years. Your dad was even worried about your sexual orientation. Now that you've finally started dating, he doesn't want to break you up because of this family issue, and he's afraid you'll run back to Australia in a fit of anger."

Fang Youxi remained silent.

Grandpa Tang was too old and went back to his room to rest early. Tang Zhanghe was on the phone in the side hall. Tang Ze was sulking on the sofa when he was supposed to be grabbing red envelopes. Tang Yi and his sister were in the dining room.

Apart from the lively sound of the television, neither of them spoke, making the surrounding area exceptionally quiet.

After a long while, Fang Youxi looked up and said fiercely to Tang Yi, "Stop trying to manipulate me. I haven't spent a New Year in the Tang family since I was eight years old. If you really care about me that much, why didn't you do this earlier?"

Tang Yi was surprised that Fang Youxi suddenly left after saying that, and he remained silent.

Indeed, Fang Youxi was right. Before his younger sister returned to Beicheng, they didn't have much contact. Occasionally, when he went to Australia on business, they would meet and he would give her some pocket money. Tang Ze probably went to Australia much more often than him. Usually, they were both busy with their own things. After returning, perhaps due to blood ties, he paid much more attention to his younger sister than before. After all, no older brother doesn't care about his younger sister.

Besides, she's the only girl in the family, so it's normal to show favoritism.

Tang Yi realized that his younger sister was not as cheerful and lively as she seemed on the surface. She must have harbored resentment all these years, but she had learned to pretend in front of them.

After going upstairs, Fang Youxi felt a little bored. Why talk to Tang Yi about this? It would make it seem like she cared so much.

She didn't attend Lu Tong's annual meeting mainly because she found it troublesome, not because she cared about the rumors and gossip.

She and Lu Yanli actually got along quite well as friends and business partners, but now that she's with Mu Wangbei, she should avoid suspicion when necessary. She should behave appropriately in work settings. Lu Tong's father and older brother both went to his annual party, so it wouldn't make a difference if she went too.

Perhaps she doesn't want to get married, and has never thought about having children. Playing the field is her life motto, but that doesn't mean she's a bad woman. She has no interest in or disdain for flirting.

Fang Youxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, went to the bathroom to wash up, and prepared to put on a face mask and have a good night's sleep.
