"Isn't Mianmian going to get engaged to Xiao Huo?"
Su Aiqian said with a smile, "The old house and the supermarket are all left for Mianmian as her dowry!"
"Sister Su, you..."
“I know it can’t compare to the dowry your family prepared,” Su Aiqian said softly, “but this is the most I can do.”
“Mianmian is the child I've raised with all my heart. Now that she's getting married, of course I have to give her the very best…”
Lin Yuqing's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but hold her hand even tighter.
This is what they call "the hearts of parents are full of love and concern for their children"...

Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian's engagement banquet caused a sensation throughout the entire central city.
Those who attended the engagement banquet that day were all wealthy and influential. The guests were elegantly dressed, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries. The couple, the protagonists, were a perfect match, possessing exceptional charm that was a feast for the eyes.
Huo Junyu was satisfied with every detail of the engagement banquet, except...
Huo Junyang, that big mouth!
Huo Junyang and Lu Ran followed Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian, playing roles similar to best man and maid of honor at a wedding.
What should have been a simple act of shielding them from drinking turned into a massive entertainment gossip session when it came to Huo Junyang.
"Hey bro, I heard you got completely drunk by Uncle Shan the day you proposed?"
"Bro, are you sure you can handle this? Didn't you start building up your alcohol tolerance since you were little? Or was all that fake alcohol you drank before?"
"Brother, I heard you ended up sleeping in Xiaoyouzi's room? Did you two sleep together?"
"elder brother……"
"Huo Junyang!" Huo Junyu dared not raise his voice too much, so he could only suppress it, and then he bit each word hard, "If you dare to say another word, I'll throw you out of here!"
Huo Junyang had no choice but to obey.
Lu Ran smiled and looked at him, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Those attending this engagement banquet included not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but also top entertainment stars.
Other entertainment stars come here to find resources, but You Huan sits in the corner, looking completely indifferent, which makes Jackie stomp her feet in frustration.
"Honey, Huanhuan! Why don't you go and attend this social event?"
You Huan lazily raised her eyes, looked around but didn't see the person she wanted to see, then lowered her eyelids again and picked at her nails.
"Hey, look at Aaron," Jackie nudged her with her elbow. "He's been following President Jiang around all night, look how good he is at getting things done! Wait... could it be that President Huo doesn't have any intention of killing him?"
"..." You Huan looked at him as if he were an idiot, then burst out laughing, "I heard that he is Nie Xin's successor and is being heavily promoted by Nie Xin. And Nie Yingdi is Sister Can's cousin. How could Sister Can not take good care of the people he sent in?"
"Besides, Mr. Huo is already at that level, why would he bother with a kid in his early twenties?" If he didn't like Aaron, all of Aaron's paths would be blocked, and he wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
Just then, Aaron came over with a glass of juice and gently handed it to her.
You Huan thanked him, took the drink, and drank a sip; it tasted sweet and sour.
"Grape juice?"
“Yes,” Aaron smiled charmingly, “I bet you’ll love this flavor.”
You Huan smiled curiously, "How did you know?"
"Because... you're just like this grape juice, both sour and sweet!"
You Huan laughed, and Aaron seized the opportunity to talk to her about other things.
The conversation revolved around literature and art, and You Huan discovered that Aaron was extremely knowledgeable about these topics and could speak eloquently about them.
While they were chatting, he thoughtfully got her a small snack, poured her a glass of water, and even found her a pair of flat shoes so she could briefly escape the discomfort of high heels.
You Huan was having a pleasant conversation with him and didn't even realize that a pair of eyes were watching her the whole time while she was socializing.
"By the way, Aaron, you've told me so much, but why didn't you mention any gossip about the entertainment industry?"
"Even with an eight-hour workday, we still need to rest after work," Aaron replied honestly. "Besides, isn't it a bit too informal for the two of us to be chatting about entertainment gossip here?"
"Uh..." You Huan wanted to say that she actually quite enjoyed listening to gossip.
"Huanhuan, are you tired of what I was talking about earlier?" Aaron said softly. "It's okay, let's talk about something else."
“She has nothing to talk to you about!” Suddenly, a deep voice struck You Huan’s heart like a hammer.
Wen Jie walked over with a sullen face.
You Huan's mind went blank, and before she could react, Wen Jie pushed her behind him.
“Sir,” Wen Jie said, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Aaron with hostility, “my name is Wen Jie, and I’m a lawyer. In our line of work, we encounter all sorts of strange and unusual things, and right now, there’s no way to get out of it…”
"Wen Jie, what's wrong with you...?"
“Mr. Aaron,” Wen Jie said solemnly, extending his hand to shake Aaron’s hand, then asked, “Have all the taxes been paid?”
