The kitchen had already started serving the dishes when Jin Mu arrived late.
After greeting everyone present, Jin Mu sat down next to Jin Wei and whispered to Jin Wu, "Wow, it's so lively today, a room full of talented young men. Isn't that Miss Zhang Yanqing, the one you went on a blind date with last time? It seems your parents are very satisfied with her."
Jin Wei glanced at Jin Mu, then lowered his eyes, continuing to cut his steak. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'm not going to argue with you." After saying that, he put the steak, which he had cut into small pieces, into his mouth.
"The sun rose in the west today."
"snort."
Jin Wei snorted softly, ignoring Jin Mu's words.
Many people from the Jin family came today, all of whom were business partners who had cooperated with the Jin family for many years. Naturally, there were also family successors like Zhang Yanqing, who were about the same age as Jin Wei. However, Jin Wei's father was not present today.
It wasn't until Zhang Yanqing, who was sitting opposite Jin Wei, stood up and poured Jin Wei a glass of red wine that Jin's mother seemed to find an opportunity to speak up, saying, "Xiao Wei is stubborn and doesn't talk much. Xiao Zhang, please be tolerant of him."
When Jin's mother spoke, Jin Mu, the older sister, choked on her drink. Recalling Jin Wei's words earlier that she was in a good mood, she gave her younger brother a surprised look. "Cough cough... What's going on? Are you dating her?"
Jin Wei didn't answer Jin Mu's question. Instead, he directly told his mother, "Mom, I'm in a relationship. She's a great candidate. When the time is right, I'll bring her to visit you." Jin Wei's words were polite, his tone relaxed and measured, and he even had a faint smile on his face.
In this situation, Jin Wei's statement alone is enough to demonstrate his stance.
He had no interest in arranged marriages within his family.

"Let me help you."
"When did you learn to cook? I've been to your place a few times, and your kitchen is always spotless, like new. Has it ever been used with fire?"
Pei's father was right. Before entering the game, Pei Wu rarely went into the kitchen. She ate all three meals at the research institute's cafeteria. Even her house, she only went back to occasionally. A cleaning lady came to clean it regularly. Her place was completely devoid of any human warmth, like a...showroom.
"..." Pei Wu smiled slightly as she listened to her father's words. "Your cooking skills have improved over the years, haven't they? Why don't you learn to live a more comfortable life too?"
Pei Wu's parents were similar to her; when they were young, they mostly ate in the canteen and didn't have many opportunities to cook. It wasn't until they retired and had more free time that they started learning to cook for themselves.
“After retiring, I have more time. Every day after breakfast, your mother and I go to the market to buy some groceries and take a walk. When we get back, we cook lunch together. Maybe it's because she's so free, but in the last two years, your mother has suddenly taken a liking to growing flowers and raising fish... Look at that garden, she took care of it all herself.”
"fine."
Pei Wu thought her father would then repeat the same old refrain: that while they were still young, healthy, and had plenty of time, and could even help her raise the children, they should get married and have a child soon, following in their parents' footsteps, to find a suitable and high-quality man to pass on their excellent genes.
But Pei's father didn't mention it today.
The last time this topic was brought up was before Pei Wu entered the game, and the family of three parted on bad terms. However, at that time, Pei Wu, who had no interest in relationships, met the man her parents had arranged for her.
However, she had already forgotten the man's name and appearance.
