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

We must not rush things today; we must proceed slowly and methodically.

Mu Wangbei ladled a bowl of soup for his grandfather and placed it in front of him: "Grandpa, Tangtang and I have made up."

Sure enough, no wonder I came back today, specifically to annoy him.

"Is she willing to settle down and settle down?"

Mu Wangbei shook his head.

Mu Sheng covered his chest with his hand.

"We're still getting along the way we agreed before. The real issue is that she doesn't want to get married or talk about the future. It's not her fault, it's my problem. Besides, there are so many people who don't want to get married or have children these days, it's also a societal problem."

Mu Sheng chuckled coldly twice: "This has escalated to the social level; that's quite a high level of thinking!"

"Grandpa, since I like her, I should respect her and not impose my own ideas on her. I wanted to force her to settle down and was in a hurry to bring her to see you because I lacked security. I selfishly wanted to label her as mine so that others wouldn't have any improper thoughts about her. Now that I think about it, we've only been together for seven months. I don't even have a sense of security myself, so how can I give her enough security to be willing to settle down and entrust her life's happiness to me?"

Mu Sheng remained silent, implying that it was all his grandson's fault, with no criticism but only self-criticism.

I feel my blood pressure rising again.

"If you're not going to get married, then forget about it. Do you know what path you want to take in the future? The more stable the path, the better. It's not that her personality is bad, but what good is it if she's beautiful, smart, and knows how to enjoy life? The key issue is that she's not right for you, child. It's not that Grandpa wants to break you up, but Grandpa is afraid you'll get hurt. That's why everyone says heartbreak is hard to heal. Get out of there while you're still not too deeply involved. Marriage isn't like dating; it can't be all romance every day."

Mu Wangbei fell silent. Just when Mu Sheng thought he had taken it to heart, he said, "Then why did you marry my grandmother back then? My grandmother was a capitalist's daughter. Weren't you afraid of making a political mistake? You were willing to take risks and overcome all difficulties to marry her, and you still managed to get to where you are today. If you could do it, why can't I?"

……

"Besides, love is a matter of mutual consent, like a monkey needing a leash. I'm susceptible to her ways, just like no matter how arrogant and temperamental Grandma is, Grandpa still falls for her, right?"

Mu Sheng felt like he was about to have a heart attack. So the Mu family grandfather and grandson were just two monkeys?

"Are you bringing up old grievances about your own grandfather?"

"That's not what I meant. I just miss my grandma. She studied abroad and was very fashionable and avant-garde. If she were still here, she would definitely love Tangtang."

Mu Wangbei observed the old man's expression and continued, "Moreover, I think I inherited this trait from you. Once you set your mind on something or someone, you never give up. That's how you taught me when I was little."

Seriously, this grandson is hopeless. Now, every word you say will be met with a thousand arguments, and he'll always have a point.

This guy doesn't look like a prosecutor at all. The director and deputy director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate praised him, saying that he was the most steady and self-disciplined kid. They said that the leaders of the Supreme People's Procuratorate should come to his home to see him. He's a scoundrel.

Mu Sheng tried to calm himself down: "You've always been a sensible person since you were little, how did you become like this? How long are you going to stop being so stubborn?"

"I've been sensible for 28 years. I've done everything you asked of me and never caused you any worry. Can't you just do what I want for this one thing? If you really care about me, you should let me decide my own way of life. I don't want to be like my parents, where the whole family sits at the table to eat but barely says a few words all day."

Mu Sheng was choked and couldn't say a word. He rubbed his temples and felt his heart rate rise.

Now that hard tactics aren't working, they're trying softer ones. Just a moment ago they were being righteous and indignant, escalating the issue to social problems and then to genetics, and now they're playing the victim here.

Mu Sheng waved his hand: "Go and get me my blood pressure medication."

Mu Wangbei quickly got up and went to his room to get the medicine.

The old man drank two sips of water to calm his nerves. When Mu Wangbei brought the medicine, he took one pill according to the dosage and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Wangbei just stood there watching him, without saying a word.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you want sweet and sour pork ribs? Try not finishing them today. Sit down and eat."

Mu Sheng took a spoon and drank two sips of soup. When he looked up, he saw Mu Wangbei sitting down to eat with a big smile on his face. There was no trace of the pitiful look he had just had.

He's already learned to outwit his grandfather just by dating. If he's so capable, why can't he handle that girl from the Tang family? If he could really marry her like I did back then, why would I waste my breath talking to him?

Each generation is worse than the last!

He would have been better off not returning to Beicheng and staying in the south for recuperation; coming back is just a source of trouble.

At the Platinum Residence, Tang Zhanghe looked at his daughter sitting on the sofa, hugging a cushion and not saying a word. After organizing his thoughts for a while, he finally spoke: "Tang, does Daddy want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?"

He solemnly took a stool and sat opposite his daughter, looking as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Fang Youxi: "Dad, I'm sleepy. I just got back yesterday and I'm still jet-lagged. Can I go to sleep and chat with you for ten yuan tomorrow when I'm more alert?"

Tang Zhanghe: ...

"No, I'm afraid you'll be busy with work tomorrow and won't have time for me at all." Tang Zhanghe refused without hesitation. He had to get to the bottom of things today. How did they break up so suddenly? And why were they arguing in the hallway after the breakup? What exactly happened?

Fang Youxi glanced at her father, opened her phone, generated a QR code for receiving payments, and placed it in front of Tang Zhanghe: "If you really want to talk, then let's have a paid chat. I'm a lawyer, after all; please respect my profession."

Tang Zhanghe almost choked on his breath.

He forced it down.

"What's the price? We need to discuss the details before we start paying, don't try to get away with this."

Fang Youxi, seemingly unfazed, replied: "5000 for half an hour, less than half an hour is counted as half an hour, more than half an hour is counted as an hour, 10,000."

Tang Zhang's head was buzzing...

He said irritably, "Why don't you just grab some? There's only so much. Sit down properly and speak politely."

After saying that, he transferred ten yuan to his daughter, and that was all.

Fang Youxi glanced at it, looking listless: "You just said that I'm too busy with work to take care of you, but you didn't take care of me when you were busy before either~"

First, subtly and quietly stab someone in the back.

She continued, "Actually, there's not much to talk about. I broke up with Mu Wangbei because I didn't want to get married. His grandfather came to me and offered me six months to settle down. If I can do that, we might still be family in the future. I don't want to be tied down, and I'm not the selfish person who has to make everyone agree with my values. Why should I hold him back?"

"Mu Wangbei always says he can accommodate me, but I know he just wants to tie me down. Even if he wrongs himself, Grandpa Mu wouldn't agree to his nonsense. We broke up, and it's normal that he's reluctant to let go now. After all, I'm so good and interesting, he just can't accept it for a while. Once the novelty wears off, it'll be fine. Just like when you and my mom got married, it was a big deal, but by the time I learned to call you 'Dad' and 'Mom,' the novelty had worn off."

This is the second blow, piercing Tang Zhang's heart.

"I never saw what a normal family was like growing up. I don't think I'm capable of managing a marriage well, and I don't want to bring an innocent child into this world for a moment of physical pleasure. You've given me a lot, like money, and I'm grateful. I also believe you love me, after all, I have your blood in my veins. But just because you spent money to raise me doesn't mean you can make me live the way you expect me to. I used to have expectations of you too, but I know I can't change anything. Dad, since that's the case, why do you insist on changing me? Isn't it better to just let me continue to be happy and be myself?"

Fang Youxi buried her chin in the plush pillow, speaking in a muffled voice, sounding somewhat depressed. Tang Zhanghe's heart was bleeding.
