The reason the two have been together for so long is because Tang Qianqian is very good at understanding people's thoughts, and she is also very sensible and knows how to behave properly, which makes him feel very comfortable when he is with her. Sometimes he also thought that he was not young anymore, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to marry her. At least she would be a very qualified matriarch and would raise their children well in the future.

However, his mother disliked her, feeling that her family background was too low and she would be of no help to their family. He agreed with this view, which is why he had not yet expressed any intention to get married.

His father also started from scratch, rising from a peasant to become a mine owner. It wasn't easy for his family company to reach its current scale, and he himself strongly supports marriage between people of equal social standing. He's fine with dating anyone he likes, but his marriage partner cannot be chosen carelessly.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qianqian and Tang Xiaoxiao had such a relationship, which would undoubtedly be of great help to their family. The family backgrounds of the young ladies that his parents originally had their eyes on were simply not comparable to those of the T·H Group.

Although Tang Qianqian and Tang Xiaoxiao are not biological sisters, but are separated by a third party, given his family's circumstances, he figured that even if Tang Xiaoxiao had a younger sister, she would still look down on him.

My cousin is great.

As it turned out, their decision was absolutely correct. Tang Xiaoxiao and the others did indeed attend, and in such a grand manner. Han Yunqi, He Zhan, Tang Xiaoxiao, and even Tang Xinxin—who in the A City business circle didn't know these names? Now, they were all attending their own wedding together. This was an incredible honor for them. It seemed that Qianqian had a pretty good relationship with them. Their family had really struck gold!

As for being overshadowed by the other party, who cares about that?

Even if these people were wearing burlap sacks and riding tricycles, they would still be the center of attention. Their status and position were what they were, and being overshadowed by such people was not a shameful thing at all.

Xu Ziye felt relaxed and comfortable. He very considerately helped Tang Qianqian up and gently reminded her to be careful of her long skirt.

Tang Qianqian was well aware of his subtle change and knew exactly why the Xu family was suddenly so eager to welcome her in and why they were making such a big show of it.

But wasn't all of this something she planned herself?

She had already made up her mind when she chose to exaggerate the relationship between her family and her uncle's family to Xu Ziye. In her mind, the worst-case scenario was that no one from her uncle's family would attend, and the Xu family would definitely be very dissatisfied with her. But so what? The wedding had already been held, and the Xu family couldn't just cancel the wedding or change the bride. As long as she could marry into the family, she was still somewhat confident that she could hold onto Xu Ziye firmly, based on her understanding of him.

The crisis facing the Xu family company is something she can simply swallow her pride and ask her second cousin for help. The conflicts were caused by their parents' generation and have little to do with them, the younger generation. After all, they had some affection for each other since childhood. Her second cousin is always soft-hearted, and she shouldn't stand idly by if she comes to ask for help. This is different from the time she came to borrow money a few years ago. That time, their attitude wasn't good. Even though she was asking for a favor, her parents' tone was aggressive. In her opinion, if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't be willing to give them money either.

This time, all it takes is for my second cousin to say a word. Even if Tang Xiaoxiao is unwilling to show up, I can use her influence to reveal my relationship with Tang Xiaoxiao to the Shengli Group. I don't believe they can continue to be so ruthless then.
