"Mobile game?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their surprised voices echoing in the room.

Li Peiyu said with a hint of helplessness, "However, the profits weren't very good. We lost quite a bit of money."

My aunt frowned and raised her voice, saying, "We lost money. I told you doing business is unreliable. It's better to take the civil service exam."

At this moment, Dad strolled over and chimed in, "Your aunt is right."

Upon hearing this, the mother immediately glared at her and retorted defiantly, "What do you know? It's a good thing that your child is starting a business; don't discourage them."

Seeing that Mom was angry, Dad quickly compromised, saying, "Okay, okay, okay, I wholeheartedly agree."

The eldest aunt pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "How can we agree to that? Didn't you hear her say she would lose money?"

With her arms crossed, Mom said firmly, "Failure is the mother of success. What, only boys are allowed to go out and explore? In our family, it's the opposite: Yu-Yu goes out and explore, while her brother stays at home."

Hearing her mother's words of defense, Li Peiyu was deeply moved, her eyes welling up with tears. She thought to herself: What parents are so good to their daughter?

In the evening, the whole family enjoyed a lively New Year's Eve dinner at a restaurant.

The aunt started making conversation again, smiling broadly as she said, "Peiyu, you'll graduate next year, right?"

"Yes," Li Peiyu replied briefly.

“Hey you, the son of the old Sun family across the street also works in S City, and he’s two years older than Peiyu,” the aunt said enthusiastically.

Dad put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "What does he do for a living?"

"He's the shop manager, selling phones," the aunt said proudly, as if he were her own son.

The aunt continued, "Why don't you let Peiyu and him get to know each other? They're from the same place, and they can look out for each other while working hard in S City."

Li Peiyu couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The sister-in-law quickly interjected, "Yu Yu is still young; she hasn't even graduated from university yet."

"We need to hurry up with this. Look around us, how many single women are still single? Why are they still single? They weren't in a hurry back then, they were too picky, and now they're too old to get married," Auntie said, speaking eloquently and logically.

Seeing her mother nod thoughtfully, Li Peiyu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly said, "I have a boyfriend."

When Li Peiyu said she had a boyfriend, everyone in the family looked surprised.

Mom asked, "When did you get a boyfriend? Is he from your school?"

Li Peiyu said, "Mom, shall we talk about this at home? I'm too embarrassed."

The older brother came to Li Peiyu's rescue, saying, "It's perfectly normal for a young girl to date. Parents shouldn't interfere too much."

Mom also thought that this kind of thing shouldn't be asked in front of so many people, so she stopped asking.

Before her aunt could speak, Li Peiyu interrupted, "Has my sister found a boyfriend yet?"

The conversation successfully shifted to the older sister.

The New Year's Eve dinner continued in this somewhat noisy yet slightly awkward atmosphere.

While enjoying the delicious food, everyone chatted casually about everyday matters.

Back home, her mother couldn't wait to interrogate Li Peiyu, as if she wanted to dig out every single detail.

My father, brother, and sister-in-law also sat to the side, looking like onlookers with curiosity in their eyes.

"When did you get a boyfriend?" Mom asked eagerly.

When? She and Lu Yuzhi had actually been entangled since the first half of the year, but that wasn't really a formal relationship. Strictly speaking, they only officially got together after Old Master Lu threatened her.

Li Peiyu thought for a moment and replied, "During the summer vacation."

Remembering how heartbroken Li Peiyu was when she came home from a breakup during summer vacation, Mom asked, "Who was it that made you cry so much after your breakup?"

"Mm." Li Peiyu nodded gently.

"You've made up again?" Mom asked, puzzled.

“Mm,” Li Peiyu replied again.

"From your school?"

“No.” Li Peiyu shook her head.

"Do you have any photos?" Mom asked curiously.

“You’ve met before,” Li Peiyu said.

Who is it?

"It's the one you saw when you went to S City last time," Li Peiyu prompted.

"Which one? Your company's? There were so many people, we didn't notice." Mom tried hard to remember.

“The client we were waiting for together,” Li Peiyu explained.

The older brother couldn't contain himself any longer and excitedly exclaimed, "That Maybach with those long legs?"

How could his elder brother, Li Peixiao, not remember that scene? The perfect physique, the exquisite features, and the cold, aloof aura emanating from him were simply breathtaking. That image was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Yes. It's him," Li Peiyu replied confidently.

The older brother laughed out loud and teased, "Stop dreaming. He doesn't look like someone who would be in a relationship. You're just having a crush on him."

"Brother, who do you look down on? If anyone has a crush on someone, it's him who has a crush on me," Li Peiyu retorted defiantly.

Mom said, "Are you telling the truth?"

“Absolutely true.” Li Peiyu said firmly.

Mom added, "He looks older than you."

“Yeah, he’s a bit older, but age isn’t a problem. I think we’re a pretty good match.” Li Peiyu said sweetly.

But I dare not mention that I'm a full 15 years older.

This number sounds terrifying at first glance. Luckily, I've met Lu Yuzhi before.

"It's not a good match, break up quickly," the mother said decisively.

"Mom," Li Peiyu called out anxiously.

"They're rich, how could they be serious? They're probably just playing around with you," the mother said worriedly.
