Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Xia Guiying was afraid that Qin Dongyang would easily get emotional, so she took his phone and answered the call for him.

Ling Jieyu had just finished work at the company and, curious about Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying's situation, made a phone call to ask, "Aunt Xia, why are you answering the phone? Where is Uncle Qin?"

Xia Guiying glanced at Mu Tiantian, still angry. "Ayu, you almost didn't get to see your Uncle Qin again."

Mu Tiantian understood the reproachful look in her mother's eyes, and felt very embarrassed by her mother's somewhat sarcastic tone.

She lost interest in waiting for Fu Zhengting's message and locked her phone.

Anyway, her mother has already reached an agreement with her, so now she just needs to patiently wait for Fu Zhengting's people to investigate.

Everything should be based on evidence.

Ling Jieyu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "Aunt Xia, what happened? How is Uncle Qin now?"

Xia Guiying sighed, feeling a sense of relief upon hearing Ling Jieyu's anxious tone.

Only a son-in-law like Ling Jieyu, who has been close to her since childhood, would truly care about her and Qin Dongyang.

Knowing someone's background always makes you feel more at ease.

After all, Qin Dongyang has made so much money. If we choose someone else, we might end up choosing someone who would do anything for money.

She and Qin Dongyang exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

They all shared this tacit idea.

They didn't want to have a second child for their daughter, so they also needed to secure their own future.

She replied, "Ayu, don't worry, your Uncle Qin is fine. I'll tell you the details when we get back. We're on our way back to Dongcheng now."

Qin Dongyang made a decision.

He also planned to use the tactic of acting first and informing later.

Upon returning home, a family reunion banquet will be held, after which the news of Ling Jieyu's marriage to his daughter will be announced.

Spread the word first, then get your marriage certificate.

The more high-profile, the better.

Everyone assumed that Ling Jieyu was his future son-in-law, which put pressure on his daughter.

Since persuasion doesn't work, we have no choice but to take direct action.

He took back his phone and specifically instructed Ling Jieyu, "Ayu, after you finish your work this afternoon, go to the Holiday Inn early. The family reunion banquet is being held there. I've already had someone notify the media reporters in advance. It starts at 8:30 pm."

It's only a little past three o'clock now, there are still about five hours left, enough time to prepare.

When he was alone in the emergency room, he made this decision after careful consideration.

Ling Jieyu was a little worried about Qin Dongyang's health. "Does it have to be this urgent, Uncle Qin? Are you feeling well enough to attend?"

He naturally knew why Qin Dongyang was in such a hurry. It seemed that Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting had not successfully registered their marriage, which was why Qin Dongyang resorted to this tactic.

"Don't worry, Yu. I've been through the gates of hell several times. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm really tough. Fu Zhenlong couldn't kill me back then, and now no one can hurt me." Qin Dongyang's aura became more imposing, and his voice became much louder.

Qian Zhikun also got into the car and sat next to Mu Tiantian. Hearing Qin Dongyang's cryptic words, he glanced at Mu Tiantian, who was silent with her eyes down.

Mu Tiantian is in a really difficult situation right now.

Mu Tiantian opened her mouth as if to voice her guess, but held back.

Forget it.

It's no use talking about it now.

It will only exacerbate the conflict with her biological father.

Let's wait for the investigation.

All she could do was remain obediently silent for the time being.

Looking at Mu Tiantian's downcast and silent appearance, Qin Dongyang felt both angry and guilty.

Ling Jieyu was very curious about Qin Dongyang's situation. He didn't know what to say to comfort Qin Dongyang, so he just replied with concern, "Uncle Qin, you must take care of yourself."

"Uncle Qin, I have good news for you. Old Ling arrived in Dongcheng at noon."

Qin Dongyang was pleasantly surprised and smiled happily, "Old Ling is really smart, he knew to come back early."

Ling Jieyu chuckled as he recalled picking up his elderly father from the airport before going to work.

The old father was so eager to marry Mu Tiantian that he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

"Ayu, if you're not too busy at work, go home early and go to the hotel with your dad as soon as possible," Qin Dongyang reminded him again.

Ling Jieyu had a strong premonition that Qin Dongyang would take advantage of this family reunion banquet to announce his marriage to Mu Tiantian.

"Okay, see you tonight."

He hung up the phone, walked to the French windows and stood there, gazing into the distance. For some reason, his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

I can't tell if I'm happy or unhappy.

There is anticipation, but also fear.

He felt depressed thinking about the card his secretary drew that would make him fall in love with Mu Tiantian.

I'm afraid I might actually fall in love with Mu Tiantian.

As Mu Tiantian watched Qin Dongyang hang up the phone, she also keenly sensed the possibility of being forced to marry Ling Jieyu.

She's in the car now, what else can she do?

Anyway, she has to be flexible and adaptable.

We must find a way to delay until Fu Zhengting's people find out the results.

Qin Dongyang gave Mu Tiantian a disappointed look, determined to teach his daughter a lesson.

Helpless, Xia Guiying patted Qin Dongyang's chest again to let him rest.

Qin Dongyang felt a warmth in his heart. Although his daughter was disobedient, his wife was now much more caring towards him.

He closed his eyes wearily, knowing he only had a little time to rest. He needed to be well-rested so he could face the media in the best possible condition.

The car fell silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts.

In the hospital room, Fu Zhengting was worried that Mu Tiantian would overthink if she didn't receive a message, so he quickly replied: Be careful on the road.

Mu Tiantian closed her eyes, preparing to rest, but didn't rush to check the message when she heard the notification sound.

Let's not upset our parents. We can go back to Fu Zhengting when we have the chance in Dongcheng.

-

Upon arriving at Dongcheng Hospital, Qin Dongyang underwent a comprehensive examination, which confirmed that there were no other physical problems. Since his emotions had calmed down considerably, the doctor determined that hospitalization was not necessary.

The president of Dongcheng Hospital personally examined Qin Dongyang and even postponed the exchange and seminar.

Qin Dongyang was grateful to the other party and invited them to the family reunion banquet that evening.

Zhong Zhiqiang, the director of Dongcheng Hospital, was worried that Qin Dongyang's body would be subjected to any further shock, so he asked Xiao Li, who was by his side, to cancel one of his dinner appointments that evening and agree to attend.

With a professional doctor present, people can be rescued immediately in case of an accident.

Qin Dongyang is a great philanthropist and a very wealthy man; he absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

Qian Zhikun, Xia Guiying, and Mu Tiantian waited together in the waiting room, and Qin Dongyang felt it would be awkward not to invite Qian Zhikun.

The housekeeper had already arranged for bodyguards to pick Qin Dongyang up from the hospital in advance. Qian Zhikun and Zhong Zhiqiang saw Qin Dongyang off to the car.

Qin Dongyang shook hands with both of them before getting into the car.

"Then it's settled. We'll go to the Holiday Inn for the family reunion dinner after your seminar."

The two nodded in tacit agreement, and Zhong Zhiqiang even warmly closed the car door for Qin Dongyang.

Mu Tiantian, who got into the car first and sat in the back seat, gave Xiao Li, who was standing next to Zhong Zhiqiang, a resentful look the moment the car door closed.

If it weren't for this person's complaint, she and Fu Zhengting would already be married.
