The old lady realized that she had been narrow-minded before, and she calmly straightened her clothes.
She might be meeting her future father-in-law soon, and she couldn't let her grandson lose face.
"Yi—I'll call you Xiao Mu from now on. Tell Grandma, how did you meet Tuo Yu?"
The old lady's sudden change in attitude didn't surprise Yi Mu.
The old man had no one to rely on but Xie Tuoyu as his only grandson, so of course he wanted the best for him.
Coincidentally, Yi Mu also wished Xie Tuoyu well.
He helped the elderly man walk towards the hotel, but when they reached the entrance, security stopped them and asked for their invitations.
Yi Mu frowned: "I'm hosting a banquet at home, can't I bring people in?"
The security guards didn't recognize him, and they were just following the rules, so they said in a very formal tone, "No invitation, no entry."
Yi Mu glanced at him and took out his phone.
A familiar face emerged from the hotel: Wenlun.
After being fired, he returned to the boss's side.
He didn't know how he managed to make the old lady happy, and she became his favorite person again.
When they met again, Wenlun no longer adopted the humble attitude he used to.
He kept a cold face, trying his best to maintain his composure, and acting as if he were the second Yi Mu.
"What happened?" Wenlun asked as he walked over to the security guard.
The moment the security guard saw him, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Manager Wen, this gentleman says he's a family member of Mr. Yi, what do you think..."
Wenlun glanced at him.
"You're new here, aren't you? You don't even know the Third Young Master? What kind of pre-job training did you receive?"
Yi Mu found it somewhat amusing to watch him take such a commanding stance and teach the security guard a lesson he couldn't bear.
People who used to be dogs have become dogs who can give orders because they can lick. Their attitude is quite arrogant.
After reprimanding the security guard, Wen Lun turned around and put on a smiling face: "Third Young Master, please come in."
Yi Mu didn't look at him, and helped the old lady, who looked reserved, inside.
Lijuan looked at the woman in front of her holding the arm of the man beside her, turned her face, and reached out to hold Xie Tuoyu's arm as well.
Xie Tuoyu stepped aside, his smile unchanged, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Lijuan's expression was a little unnatural.
"Brother Yu, I see everyone else has a partner, but I don't. It's so embarrassing."
Xie Tuoyu replied dismissively, "Have you forgotten why you came here today? What kind of relationship do you have with me?"
This place is big, feel free to wander around. Just remember to watch your words, don't cause me any trouble.
Xie Tuoyu knew that as long as the old lady was alive, she would not allow him to send Lijuan back to the countryside.
He came up with a compromise: to find Lijuan someone to rely on, so she wouldn't always be looking for a sense of belonging with him.
If she were to fall in love and get married, Lijuan would feel too embarrassed to continue staying at the old lady's place.
Lijuan was a sensible person. As soon as Xie Tuoyu revealed his intention, she hesitated for a while before agreeing.
This banquet brought together the sons of all the city's officials and wealthy families.
Lijuan is not bad-looking, although she is a bit rustic. But with her cunning, it should be easy for her to find someone here.
Xie Tuoyu gave her a chance; it's up to Lijuan to seize it.
With Lijuan gone, Xie Tuoyu felt a great sense of relief.
Grandpa Yi was dressed in a crescent-white Tang suit, his sparse hair was combed until it was shiny, and a beautiful young woman stood next to him.
The old man was surrounded by people.
Those businessmen and tycoons who usually look down on everyone and consider themselves superior are all holding gifts in their hands.
They can't stop flattering you, and they'll see right through your sycophancy.
