"Interesting."
"Interesting!"
Tang Jun and Lian Qingyang said in unison, then exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
Up ahead, Zhang Hualian came over to urge them to get in the car; it was time to depart.
Before leaving, Zhang Hualian repeatedly checked the betrothal gifts to be sent to the Yuan Family.
"Xiao Jun, you and Xiao Yang are brothers, Xiao Yang is getting married..." Zhang Hualian started to speak, but Tang Jun interrupted her, saying, "Mom, I know, our family’s situation, Xiao Yang’s betrothal gifts are all managed by Xiao Yang’s dad. We don’t compare with him, the gesture is what matters most, right, Dad?"
Tang Jun doesn’t feel they are lacking at all. Now that he’s started his own company, the gifts from the family may not be considered a lot, but compared to those in Wangjiang City, they are definitely more than sufficient. Besides, Xiao Yu is not the type who looks at betrothal gifts; the most important thing is the right people.
They have already shown their utmost sincerity, and he believes Xiao Yu’s family will not be picky.
"Yes, the gesture is what matters most." Tang Zhengde affirmed with a nod. The gifts they prepared can’t compare to those from Lian Qingyang’s family, but compared to ordinary families, it’s much better.
Besides, the house in Jing City will still belong to the couple in the future.
"Alright, everything is ready, let’s go."
Tang Jun couldn’t wait to visit the Yuan Family.
...
July Investment Company.
In the office, Meng Yanzhi stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at this ever-changing city.
He, Meng Yanzhi, must rely on himself to build a career, and show everyone that even without the Meng Family, he is not a nobody.
"Mr. Meng, Ji Changming is here."
An assistant knocked at the door, asking softly.
Meng Yanzhi said, "Let him in."
"Mr. Meng, you have to save me!"
As soon as Ji Changming came in, he rushed to Meng Yanzhi and pleaded, humbly.
"What’s wrong, Mr. Ji?"
Meng Yanzhi turned to walk to the large desk, sat down in the leather chair, and casually picked up a pen, saying, "Speak properly, what’s all this talk about life-saving? We’re all in legitimate professions."
"Mr. Meng, if you don’t help me with this, I might as well be dead." Ji Changming looked at Meng Yanzhi, pleadingly.
This time, due to his poor decision-making, the company faced a major error. Now there is a three-million-dollar hole, and if he can’t fill it, he’ll be finished, with no hope for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Ji, you are a distinguished Mr. Ji, how could you be lacking my help?" Meng Yanzhi mocked, coolly.
Back then, Ji Changming told him about Si Yu in order to use him to deal with Si Yu.
Afterwards, Ji Changming kept saying the Meng Family estate would all be inherited by Meng Siyu, fearing that day would come, isn’t that right?
Ji Changming wanted to use him, but did he make him, Meng Yanzhi, look like a fool?
Over these ten years, Meng Yanzhi was no longer the ignorant playboy he used to be.
"Mr. Meng."
Ji Changming felt a bit awkward. For years, his secret revelations to Meng Yanzhi hadn’t earned even a degree of favor; his provocations seemed useless to Meng Yanzhi. Now that he’s in trouble, he has no choice but to ask him, otherwise...
"Well, we are friends, after all." Ji Changming awkwardly looked at Meng Yanzhi. Presently, the only person he could turn to was Meng Yanzhi.
"Is that so?"
Meng Yanzhi asked in return, looking at him inscrutably, saying, "Do you really consider me a friend? Or, am I simply a pawn?"
Meng Yanzhi curled his lips into a mocking smile.
Ji Changming had long practiced a thick skin and said earnestly, "Mr. Meng, I truly consider you a friend. I’m just a small figure, how could I possibly treat you...like a pawn."
Even if Ji Changming thought it in his mind, he would never admit it. Wearing a fawning smile, he clearly knew the purpose of today’s meeting with Meng Yanzhi. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Meng, you must have misunderstood me."
"Oh."
Meng Yanzhi responded indifferently, twirling the pen in his hand, glancing at Ji Changming casually.
...
At the bottom of the building, after exhausting countless arguments, Meng Yanzhi still mercilessly rejected Ji Changming. Despite Ji’s humble pleas, Meng Yanzhi showed no sympathy, rejecting him outright. Ji Changming looked up at the building with his eyes shaded, gloomy.
His eyes half-closed, staring at the towering building, he let out a cold laugh, saying, "Meng Yanzhi, do you think rejecting me means I’ll easily give up?"

Yuan Family.
The Tang Family came to propose to the Yuan Family, and Mr. Yuan was quite fond of Tang Jun, naturally not making things too difficult.
Moreover, the Tang Family came to propose with great sincerity.
The Tang Family couple arrived, and as the elders of Tang Jun, Tang Mingli and his wife also made an appearance.
Tang Yue, Meng Siyu, Lian Qingyang, and the pregnant Jin Yan all came, enough to show the Tang Family’s importance placed on this marriage alliance.
The two families agreed to marry after New Year’s Day, just before the year’s end. There are still over two months to prepare.
Originally, the plan was to first engage and then marry, but after reconsidering, they thought they’re no longer young, and it wasn’t easy to reach this point. An engagement followed by waiting for marriage, what if during that time the couple welcomed a grandchild? Instead of rushing the wedding then, better to get married now.
After marriage, whenever they have children, it’ll be a joyous occasion.
After leaving the Yuan Family, Tang Jun felt as if he was walking on clouds, soft and fluffy; the sun outside shining made him feel like it was all a dream.
"Sis, I’m not dreaming, am I?"
Tang Jun, with a silly expression, was promptly hit on the shoulder by Tang Yue’s hand, who seriously said, "You’re not dreaming. In two months, you’re getting married. There’s still a lot for you to do during these two months."
"That’s great." Tang Jun, thinking about this, felt so excited he didn’t know what to do.
"Getting silly with joy."
Tang Yue muttered, paying no more attention to the silly Tang Jun, instead pondering over where he would live after getting married. She owned many properties and picked one most suitable for Tang Jun, gifting it to him, saying, "Xiao Jun, when you get married, there’s little else I can help with, but this house..."
"Sis, come on, I’ve got money myself; I’ll buy a house myself."
Tang Jun wanted his own marital home, his own purchase, ideally close by. Hence, Tang Jun started inquiring early on about nearby houses for sale. Recently, he bought one, not far from here, another Siheyuan. He thought that two months for renovation would surely be enough time.
"When did you buy it?"
Tang Yue pursued, eyeing Tang Jun up and down, asking, "Was it when you decided to pursue Xiao Yu?"
Tang Jun chuckled foolishly.
