Shi Xu glanced discreetly around the room, noticing the various expressions on everyone's faces, and asked Shi Xi, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xi gave Shi Xu a heads-up: "[Jun Cheng seems to like Ning Yu.]"

Upon seeing this message, Shi Xu's eyelids twitched.

No wonder he felt the atmosphere on the field was heavy.

Undercurrents are brewing.

Tao Yuxuan looked indifferent, while Jun Cheng's face was a mixture of happiness, seriousness, confusion, and frustration.

It's tiring just to look at.

The question asked was: "Didn't his sweetheart die?"

He had also investigated Juncheng's background before.

Jun Cheng made no attempt to hide his search; a little investigation would reveal the truth.

Shi Xi: [Not quite sure.]

Shi Xi was not clear about the specific details.

Anyway, she had already imagined hundreds of thousands of words of a cross-dressing, strong-strong BG novel based on the conversation between the two of them (mainly Jun Cheng's words).

At the dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Tao were both advising Old Mrs. Jun to reconsider: "In truth, the children's marriage is ultimately their own decision."

Grandma Jun remained unmoved.

Madam Jun, who had come along, spoke first, "I also think that Tao Tao is a good child, and he gets along well with Cheng'er."

Madam Jun is Jun Cheng's mother, so she naturally knows that her son has been looking for a man.

Jun Cheng's glorious deeds spread throughout Yanjing.

Now, Juncheng finally has the opportunity to get married. If this goes through, she might be able to hold her big, fat grandson next year.

Lady Jun naturally wanted to arrange this marriage as well.

As the mediator, Shi's father also spoke up, "Shi Xu told me about what happened at the banquet that day; it was just a misunderstanding!"

Tao Tao is my daughter's best friend, and Shi Xu has always treated her like a younger sister.

If there's something between them, why would they need to be secretive? Wouldn't they have already made a deal?

They're just too close, like siblings! Don't you think so, Shi Xu?

Shi Xu's eyes always held a gentle smile. "Yes, Tao Tao is like my own sister."

After much persuasion, Old Madam Jun finally softened a bit and looked at Jun Cheng, "Cheng'er, what are your thoughts?"

Jun Cheng was lost in thought.

Madam Jun patted Jun Cheng under the table to bring him back to his senses and asked, "Cheng'er, how have you thought about your marriage to Miss Tao?"

Everyone looked at Jun Cheng.

Jun Cheng snapped out of his daze and said decisively, "I disagree."

Madam Jun smiled and said, "Since Cheng'er agrees, then... um..."

After repeating Jun Cheng's words again, Madam Jun turned to look at him and said angrily, "What did you say?"

Everyone else at the table looked at Juncheng.

Madam Jun gave a forced smile and whispered to Jun Cheng, "You clearly promised to do everything right at home!"

“I have a woman I like.” Juncheng knew what his mother was worried about and went straight to the point.

Madam Jun and Old Madam Jun stared at Jun Cheng, their joy barely concealed.

"Really? Which heiress do you like?" Madam Jun was afraid Jun Cheng was lying, so she decided to find out first. "If you dare to lie, I'll break your legs!"

“Right here in this room,” Jun Cheng said.

In an instant, everyone's gaze swept across and fell on Shi Xi.

Shi Xi quickly waved her hand, "I'm not familiar with him!"

Fortunately, Jun Cheng spoke up in time, looking at Ning Yu, "The person I like is her."

Shi Xi: Oh, grass.

Madam Jun frowned, asking uncertainly, "Shi Hong, is this your daughter?"

Mr. Shi hadn't expected that coming here as a peacemaker would lead to this kind of situation. He introduced his daughter, Ning Yu, who was studying at Yenching University.

Jun Cheng stared at Ning Yu.
