"Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. There is no room for discussion on this matter. You must come back with Zhengyu when the time comes!"

Looking at the phone that had been abruptly disconnected, Qin Shengyi sighed helplessly, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

Even though her parents have always respected her opinions in other aspects, they are always keen on arranging all sorts of potential partners for her. Do they know better than she does what kind of person she wants to be with?

As she pondered, Xu Yanshu's image unconsciously appeared in Qin Shengyi's mind. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.

The next second, someone patted her on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?" Jiang Zhengyu asked with a playful tone, while sitting down in the empty seat opposite him.

Where is the genuine joy in the laughter?

Qin Shengyi glared at the person with annoyance, then, remembering the phone call that had just ended, her face immediately fell.

"Brother, could you please talk to my family and ask them to stop arranging blind dates for me?"

“I don’t have that much influence with my uncle,” Jiang Zhengyu shrugged nonchalantly, took a sip of his coffee, and continued, “If things really can’t be avoided, you should go and see. Who knows, you might just meet your soulmate!”

"Jiang Zhengyu! You..."

Seeing that the little girl was about to explode, Jiang Zhengyu quickly put away his teasing and seriously analyzed, "If you keep making excuses, your uncle might become suspicious, and then he might notice Xu Yanshu."

"Your aunt and uncle love you so much, if you really didn't like it, they wouldn't have forced you to buy it!"

On the other hand, this method can also put appropriate pressure on certain people to prevent them from timidly pushing away their winning intentions.

No matter how outstanding he is, he can't always expect Shengyi to cater to him.

this……

Qin Shengyi nodded thoughtfully; what he said seemed to make sense.

Thinking about it that way, going through the motions seems to make sense... mainly because she didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble for Brother Yan Shu.

After discussing this matter, Qin Shengyi remembered the main purpose of his meeting with the other party today, and after careful consideration, he spoke.

"Brother, can we help Brother Yan Shu with Xie Junyang's matter?"

He could even be so cruel to his own daughter, which shows just how ruthless Xie Junyang is. Yan Shu alone probably wouldn't be able to handle him.

"They haven't even asked for help, why are you so eager to join in?" Jiang Zhengyu frowned disapprovingly, gave the speaker a cold look, and retorted, "Qin Shengyi, can't you, a girl, have a little bit of self-respect?"

“I… but I think that given Yan Shu’s personality, he would never take the initiative to ask us for help.”

"If he doesn't say anything, it means he thinks he can handle it!"

"Qin Shengyi, I'm warning you, don't do anything too clever for your own good, or you'll be in deep trouble!"

Even though Yan Shu said he would speak up if needed, he could clearly sense that the other party did not want him and Sheng Yi to be involved. Regardless of whether he was truly confident or just being stubborn, he would choose to respect Yan Shu's decision.

Qin Shengyi nodded sullenly, though she didn't really know how she could help Yan Shu.

Jiang Zhengyu found her lost and dejected look quite distasteful. "You mustn't be a love-struck fool."

"Being love-struck is better than being a lifelong single!"

...

Xie Residence

"You're saying that Qin Shengyi is Ouyang Sheng's daughter? Is that really true?!"

Xie Huanyu nodded truthfully, "Yes, Zhou Zehao told me this himself."

If it came from Zhou Zehao, it's probably true.

Xie Junyang's expression was rather unpleasant. He had long known that Qin Shengyi's background was not simple, but he never expected that he would be Ouyang Sheng's daughter.

The Ouyang family can basically be considered a top-tier wealthy family, with involvement in various fields. He had previously thought about making friends with them, but was rejected by them every time.

"By the way, have you followed through on what I asked you to do—apologize to that person?"

"I have already formally apologized to her."

Logically speaking, the person who should apologize is not her at all. At that time, she and Xu Yanshu were still married, yet she shamelessly sidled up with Yanshu.

Only after receiving a positive answer did Xie Junyang finally feel relieved. After pondering for a moment, he let out a cold snort.

"No wonder he was so determined to sever ties with our Xie family; he's found a better match!"

"Hmph, doesn't he even know his own worth? What kind of background and status does the Ouyang family have? Does he really think that just because he has some ability, everyone will look up to him?"

First, he quietly got involved with Huang Dongsheng, and then he hooked up with the daughter of the Ouyang family. This Xu Yanshu is far more capable than I imagined!

Xu Yanshu is not the kind of person who craves vanity...

Out of respect for her father's authority, Xie Huanyu didn't actually say these words aloud, though she didn't agree with such a statement in her heart.

If he were such a profit-driven person, he wouldn't have gone to such extremes in the past.

Butler Wang suddenly walked in from outside. "Master, Chairman Huang called and invited you to a gathering at the Huang residence tonight!"

Something unusual must be going on.

Xie Junyang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked,

Did they say what it was about?

Butler Wang shook his head and answered truthfully, "No, he just said he acquired two new bottles and would like to invite you over for a meal!"

Previously, I had to ask him three or four times just to have a meal with him, so why did he take the initiative to invite me today?

Unable to ascertain the other party's intentions, Xie Junyang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, knowing that this situation had never occurred before.

Thinking back to the little incident that happened at the company a few days ago, he felt even less confident.

Coming to his senses, Xie Junyang instructed the butler, "I understand. Go and arrange for the driver to prepare the car. We'll set off when it's almost time."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away!"

After Butler Wang turned and left, Xie Huanyu cautiously asked, "Dad, what did Chairman Huang want to see you about?!"

She had heard about the unpleasant parting when Huang Dongsheng visited the company last time. She never expected that he would take the initiative to invite her father a few days later. It was hard not to suspect that this was a trap.

"I can't guess right now, we'll just have to see how things go," Xie Junyang said slowly, shaking his head. Then he waved to the person in front of him, "You should go back to your apartment by yourself!"

Xie Huanyu was immediately relieved upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand!"
