The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Zeng Ziming pushed open the door and walked into the living room, where she saw her whole family sitting on the sofa, all eyes on her.

Zeng Ziming could clearly feel the atmosphere becoming heavy and suffocating.

She paused slightly, a vague premonition forming in her heart.

She feared her family had found out and guessed that she had gone out with Qin Zihao, and were unhappy about it, preparing to "punish" her.

As she suspected, her mother, Xu Lanfang, spoke first, her expression serious: "Zimo, have you been spending the whole day with that Qin Zihao?"

Zeng Ziming hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.

I can't fool my family about this, so there's no need to lie.

Xu Lanfang frowned deeply: "Zimo, didn't your father tell you to keep your distance from Qin Zihao last night?"

"Continuing to associate with someone who likes to boast will not do you any good."

Zeng Yi also stepped forward at the right time, advising, "Sister, Young Master Liu helped our family through a difficult time, why aren't you even showing any appreciation?"

"Young Master Liu just wanted to invite you for coffee, but you didn't give him any face at all. If others knew that our family treated our benefactor like this, they would definitely talk behind our backs."

"If Dad's company gets into trouble again in the future, who will be willing to help?"

Zeng Wentao glanced at his son, who couldn't speak.

Zeng Yi realized he might have said something wrong and chuckled awkwardly, "Dad, I was just assuming, please don't take it to heart."

Zeng Wentao didn't want to pay attention to his unambitious son. He coughed lightly and said, "There's a cocktail party the night after tomorrow."

"Say a few nice things at the party, and find a reason to apologize to Liu Xing properly. Don't let anyone find an opportunity to say that our Zeng family is ungrateful."

Zeng Wentao already had his own ideas in mind.

Liu Xing is a good person with an honest nature, but his abilities are not particularly outstanding.

He had investigated and found that Liu Xing had no messy romantic scandals and did not frequent clubs, so he could be considered to be clean-living.

Moreover, Liu Xing's family is better off than ours. If the two families were to marry, Zeng Ziming would be marrying into a superior family. After the marriage, the two families could support each other and jointly resist risks.

Recalling his experience of seeking help everywhere but finding no one to turn to during the company's financial crisis, Zeng Wentao felt even more strongly about having a suitable in-law, so that he would have someone to rely on in times of trouble.

In his eyes, Liu Xing cared deeply for his daughter and was a rare and good match, worthy of Zeng Zimo's lifelong devotion.

However, Zeng Ziming's emotions suddenly became agitated.

She reiterated loudly, "Dad, it wasn't Liu Xing who saved our company, it was Qin Zihao!"

"It was through his intervention that he persuaded the president of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce to step in and help his family through the crisis."

After a pause, Zeng Ziming added righteously, "Besides, I don't like Liu Xing!"

There was a moment of silence in the living room after he said that.

After listening, Zeng Wentao and Xu Lanfang completely ignored the first part of his statement and focused only on the sentence "I don't like Liu Xing".

In their minds, Qin Zihao was just a wage earner, how could he possibly persuade Nie Yuanqing to come?

It seems the crux of the daughter's problem lies in "her dislike".

Xu Lanfang earnestly advised, "Zimo, among the eligible young men from wealthy families, Liu Xing is already considered a good choice."

"I've inquired about and compared many other wealthy young men with other rich families. They frequented brothels and had chaotic private lives. Only Liu Xing is clean-living and has very few scandals."

She gave an example: "Take Gu Tao from the Gu family, for instance. He's decent, but he's been pursuing you for two years, and you don't even like him."

"Liu Xing truly loves you. If you marry him, you won't suffer any grievances, and you'll live a much better life."

"It's okay if you don't like him now. Feelings develop gradually. Listen to your mother, spend more time with Liu Xing. He's a good kid."

Zeng Ziming shook his head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Mom, the problem isn't about Liu Xing's character, it's that I don't like him!"

She spoke calmly, yet her words carried an unwavering resolve.

Only she herself knew that unless it was a chance encounter in public, she would always resolutely refuse Liu Xing's invitations in private.

The two had almost no private contact.

Liu Xing's affection was, from beginning to end, nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

In reality, she never gave the other party even the slightest bit of extra thought or expression.

Xu Lanfang wanted to say more, but Zeng Ziming's resolute expression choked her. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't utter any more words of advice.

She knew her daughter well; she seemed gentle, but once she made up her mind about something, nothing could change it.

Zeng Wentao could also see that his daughter's heart was set on Qin Zihao, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He said in a deep voice, "Zi Mo, if Qin Zihao really has such ability, he can mobilize the president of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce with just a word."

"At such a young age, to have such a top-tier network of connections, one's status must be extraordinary; how could one lack women in one's life?"

He continued, "The more prestigious the family, the more women they have around them, and their private lives are usually chaotic. You must know that. There are very few scions of wealthy families like ours who are virtuous, let alone those from even better families."

"Wealthy families are inherently pragmatic when it comes to relationships. If the two families are not well-matched, the girl can easily become a plaything for the other party."

"Wealthy families have always been cautious in choosing a spouse. They generally choose partners who are of equal social standing and family background."

"Many of the opposite sex I meet outside are just for short-term fun, and it's very difficult for them to take the step of formal marriage."

"When choosing a partner, it's best not to cross too large a social class. Otherwise, there will definitely be many hidden problems in the future."

He said earnestly, "Zi Mo and Liu Xing are the most suitable choices right now."

Seeing that Zeng Ziming still had a stern face, he sighed and asked, puzzled:

"I really can't understand what Qin Zihao told you to make you so protective of him."

Xu Lanfang chimed in, "Your father is right. Our family may seem stable now, but our foundation isn't truly solid. Zimo, I don't ask for you to be rich and powerful; I only hope you marry someone who cares for you and you can live a peaceful life."

"Your classmate is a big talker; he's not a good match."

After hearing these words, Zeng Ziming remained silent for a long time.

Her father's words struck her heart like a knife.

She knew that her father was speaking from the heart and that he was doing it for her own good.

But her resolve began to waver.

She couldn't help but start thinking about the enormous wealth behind Qin Zihao.

With the Qin family's profound background, Qin Zihao would never lack beautiful women around him.

Marriages between wealthy families emphasize matching social status and economic conditions; this is an unchanging rule in the entertainment industry.

Qin Zihao is the eldest son of the Qin family.

Major family matters and marriage decisions cannot be left to him to do as he pleases.

Thinking of this, a sense of inferiority welled up in her heart.

Perhaps I am not good enough for Qin Zihao.

She suddenly felt that the joy and longing in her heart were like a dream that had lasted too long.

No matter how beautiful a dream is, there will always be a day when you wake up.

She lowered her eyes, not looking at anyone else, only responding softly before walking into the bedroom.

"I'll go to the cocktail party."
