Ten years later, the grandchildren in the family have all grown up and, thanks to the companies that Tingting and Jianjun gave to their grandchildren, have all established their own businesses.
They are all successful in their careers, but they all got married a bit late. However, they have all started their own families one after another. But Lingzhi, as a single man, has never gotten married.
“Lingzhi, your cousins all have their own families now. How old are you?” Tingting asked.
"Grandma, with my circumstances, you're still worried about me? Really."
"This is no small matter. I need to find someone I like. If I can't, I don't want to force it."
"Alright, I've already seen my great-grandson, how could I not know you? On the day we leave this world, will we be able to see you get married?"
"But we can't force this. If you really don't like it, we'll end up arguing all the time. It's better to do it now," Tingting said.
Ling Zhi thought for a moment, then fell silent, but said nothing more.
It's normal for Tingting and Jianjun to be a little anxious since Lingzhi is still unmarried in the Guo family. However, the other great-grandchildren are already several years old, so they've come to terms with it and stopped asking.
But two years later, Lingzhi gave the entire Guo family a complete surprise.
"Grandma, Grandpa, I've brought my girlfriend here. This is your granddaughter-in-law, her name is Liu Yun."
"How old is this child? She's so beautiful."
“Grandma, I’m 23 years old this year,” Liu Yun said.
Tingting and Jianjun exchanged a glance; the age difference between them and their grandson was a bit significant.
"Please sit down, this child is so beautiful. Where are you from?" Tingting asked.
“My home is in Xiangqu District, and I’m currently studying here,” Liu Yun said.
How many people are in your family? How did you and Lingzhi meet?
"My Lexus was driving and accidentally grazed me. They took me to the hospital, and that's how we met."
Tingting nodded. Whether it was true fate or something else, they would have to investigate and find out what was going on.
"There are five people in my family. I have two older brothers and I am the youngest in the family."
"So what does your family do?" Tingting asked.
"Our family also runs a small business, such as plastics and real estate."
Tingting nodded, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off. The surname was Liu, and the place was in Xiangqu. The family was also in business. It felt so much like Liu Tianming's family.
"What's your grandma's name? And your grandpa's?" Tingting asked.
Jianjun, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on and looked at Liu Yun.
"Your names are Liu Tianming and Qin Yecai. Grandma, do you know them?" Liu Yun asked.
“I actually know her. Your grandma and we used to be from the same village. I never expected to run into her again. It’s really fate,” Tingting said.
Lingzhi didn't recognize the people his grandmother mentioned. He would have to ask his parents later, since his grandmother and grandfather didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Out of politeness, Tingting and Jianjun still ate with the two children and gave them a gift.
After they left, Tingting said, "I never thought I'd meet Qin Yecai at this age. What a coincidence! Her granddaughter has become my granddaughter-in-law."
"I really don't want to agree to this marriage; it's so frustrating."
"You're so old now, you must be alright, right?" Jianjun asked.
"That being said, with her around, and having become my granddaughter-in-law, I have some reservations."
"You know she's not a soft-hearted person, which is why I don't want them to have any contact."
"Ling Zhi finally found someone he likes, and if we don't agree, there will be a lot of trouble later."
"Hmph, don't worry, we don't need to tell her. Qin Yecai will probably agree anyway. This is troublesome. You just wait and see."
Jianjun nodded in agreement, understanding the logic. He was quite frustrated that their two families were still entangled at this age.
When Lingzhi got home, he told his parents about it.
"Qin Yecai, how could it be her? I heard about this when I was little."
“Qin Ye is no simple person. Let’s just forget about it. You and Liu Yun, you two are not a good match,” Wei Dong said.
"Dad, what's wrong? I think it's great. I really like her, I want to marry her, and I think we're a good match."
"You child, we're trying to reason with you, why won't you listen? Do you even know what their family situation is like?"
"Anyway, we disagree. You can think about it yourself."
Lingzhi is not young anymore, and Weidong has never taken care of him. Although he doesn't say it, he does want to have a grandson.
But this is the first time I've seen him look so serious.
Lingzhi knew his father couldn't say anything, so he decided to ask his grandparents for help to find out what was going on.
On the other side, the Qin family was discussing the same topic.
“Liu Yun, I disagree. The age gap is too big. So what if it’s the Guo family? I’m doing this for your own good. Why are you so disobedient?”
"Mom and Dad, I really like him. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with him," Liu Yun started to cry when she saw that her parents disagreed.
Qin Yecai, who was upstairs, could also hear her son scolding Liu Yun downstairs.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyun? Why are you crying? What happened?"
"Grandma, I've fallen for someone, but my dad doesn't approve. He's a good catch, handsome, and treats me better. The only problem is the age gap. But we're both sincere."
Qin Yecai understood her son's heart; as the youngest girl in the family, she was certainly pampered.
However, the age gap is too large, and I'm worried that we won't have anything in common in the future. This child doesn't understand his parents' good intentions right now.
"Grandma, please help me put in a good word for me."
"You said their family is nice, what do they do?" Qin Yecai asked.
“It’s the Guo family. Needless to say, they’re no ordinary family. We’re a perfect match in terms of social standing and we like each other. Why can’t we be together?”
Qin Yecai was stunned when she heard it was the Guo family. Is the world really that small? How could she run into them?
They and the Guo family had tacitly agreed to cut off contact, fearing that the other side might turn against them. Unexpectedly, at this age, the two families would still have the fate to get married.
“Xiaoyun, if I don’t agree to the Guo family’s decision, our family is still far inferior to theirs, and they might not agree anyway.”
“We just wanted you to be happy, we never thought you would marry someone of such high status. I hope you understand that.”
