The old man had actually been considering making Yi Mu his successor as early as after Yi Mu returned to China.

I heard that he restarted a project that had been shelved for two years shortly after he went to the countryside.

Although someone else got a piece of the pie, before that, there was almost no chance of winning the project, or rather, no one put any effort into it.

He's old, and his eldest and second eldest sons aren't young either; only his youngest son has any drive.

The eldest son noticed something was off about the old man's expression and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

He smiled and, as if making small talk, brought up the topic of Yi Mu.

"Xiao Mu, you seem to be twenty-six this year? I haven't seen you date anyone. Haven't you found the right one? Or maybe you just don't have time? Would you like your older brother to introduce you to someone?"

Yi Mu raised his eyelashes, his dark eyes behind his glasses flashing with a cold, sharp light.

He wondered why he hadn't caused any trouble all night; it turned out he was waiting for this.

"I don't need to worry about my affairs, but I heard that my sister-in-law recently caused a scene at your club."

The media all went, and the entertainment section was full of scandals that day.

When a family business grows large, its image becomes extremely important.

"If the news in the newspapers isn't suppressed in time, the company's stock will drop a bit. Do you realize that, brother?"

Keeping a mistress is a sign of a successful man if done in secret.

To bring it up in the open, especially at a family dinner table, would be a slap in the face.

The eldest brother's face was a mixture of red and blue, looking quite unsightly.

He glared at Yi Mu with gritted teeth. If it weren't for the old man, he would have turned on him long ago!

The old man was unhappy to see his brothers quarreling in front of him, so he coughed twice and warned the eldest brother.

"How many times have I told you? You have no sense of responsibility when it comes to doing things. If you can't handle this next time, you'll be kneeling in front of me and begging for forgiveness."

The eldest son looked at Yi Mu with a sinister smile, saying, "Dad, since you've said it, I'll definitely listen carefully."

The old man snorted, looking closely at Yi Mu's face, somewhat puzzled.

"Third brother, you're not young anymore, how come I've never seen you bring a woman back?"

At our family level, we don't care about family background or social standing. If you like her, bring her home to meet us.

Emu has no plans to come out in the near future.

Faced with the old man's questioning and the eldest son's ill-intentioned gaze, he merely twitched the corner of his mouth and gave a perfunctory reply.

"When I find someone I like, I definitely won't keep it to myself."

Since the old man has chosen Yi Mu as his successor, he naturally hopes that Yi Mu will get married as soon as possible.

Everyone says that you should settle down before you start a career, but Yi Mu's careless attitude is a waste of the old man's expectations.

"We need to get this done quickly. Don't think I don't know you're just listening casually..."

Older people tend to be long-winded, and Yi Mu listened with a blank expression.

Yitai's brows furrowed even deeper.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Yi Mu not having a girlfriend, and what did it matter if he never got married?

The Yi family is very wealthy and powerful. Even if the company goes bankrupt one day, and something happens to Yi Mu, the family will support him.

Yitai slammed the glass onto the table, making a loud noise.

The old man looked over, his face, which bore a striking resemblance to his own, darkened, and he raised his voice to ask, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Yitai was not afraid of him at all; his eyes were cold, and his words were barbed.

"You have time to worry about your son, but you should take care of yourself. You're so old, why are you still playing around with young models? Aren't you afraid of being drained dry?"

The old man was stunned for two seconds before he realized what this unfilial bastard had said.

Without thinking, he flew into a rage and smashed the soup bowl next to him at Yitai's head.

Despite being stopped by his eldest and second sons, the old man's face turned red, and he began to shout and curse.

"You bastard! I raised you all these years just so you could curse your old man like this? Get the hell out of here!"
