Pei Muni returned to the Pei residence, where Mrs. Pei was playing mahjong with several rich ladies while chatting idly. One of them suddenly turned to Palace Lady and asked, "I heard that Ling Yu's good news is near?"

  Mrs. Wang threw out a pancake and smiled: "Yes, we're not getting any younger, it's better to settle down early. On a cloudy day like today, I and his father are going to meet with the parents from the other side and discuss their marriage."

  "Good things are coming, no wonder I've been so lucky today. Looks like your future wife is bringing you good fortune."

  Madam Wang laughed even more happily.

  Mrs. Pei glanced at Madame Gong, drew a card, and carelessly played another one before saying, "Is it Su Zhenhua's little granddaughter?"

  "Yes, although the Su family is not as good as it used to be now, but that girl Wanwan is still okay, she looks good and has a good character, most importantly my son likes her. I introduced him to so many girls before, none of them worked out, only this one caught his eye. Before we were anxious about him getting married, now he's anxious himself, my husband and I can only follow along." Madam Gong said with a sigh, but her eyebrows were full of doting love.

  Mrs. Pei couldn't help but feel a little envious, "It's good, my son Mian is like that too, introducing any woman to him doesn't work, I'm exhausted from his antics, if he's willing to get married, even if the family background is a bit worse, I'll accept it."

  "Why the hurry? The girl who wants to marry him can circle around our city of L several times."

  "What's the use? He just can't seem to hit it off with any girl, unlike Xiao Yu." Madam Pei said, getting more and more frustrated as she spoke. "At this rate, I don't know if I'll even get to see him get married in my lifetime."

  "Sister, listening to you say this, it seems a bit off. For so long, I really haven't seen Mu Nian like any girl. Do you think... is there something wrong with him?"

  "Nonsense, my Mu Nian is perfectly fine. I know he had a crush on a girl in college. I've seen him answer the phone with such a gentle expression, and he even said he'd bring her home for me to meet. But somehow it just fizzled out... I should have asked him who that girl was back then..."

  Several ladies were chatting and laughing, none of them noticed Pei Mochen. He stood there, listening to their conversation, lost in thought for a while, then turned around and left.

  Gong Lingyu booked a deluxe suite at the Imperial Hotel and made an appointment for 8 o'clock in the evening.

  Su Wanwan and Su Grandfather arrived, Gong Lingyu and his parents were already in the private room. After exchanging pleasantries, they took their seats one by one.

  Su Wanwan sat down and looked at the empty seat next to her, puzzled: "Ling Yu, are there still people coming?"

  Gong Lingyu poured tea for everyone and smiled, nodding his head, "Yes, there's still one more person coming."

  Su Wanwan slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows, "Who is it?"

  The head of the Gong family is just Gong Fu and Gong Mu, isn't it?

  It is...

  Jing Lingyu was about to respond when the door of the private room suddenly swung open, and a man strode in with long legs, walking slowly into the room with an upright posture and elegant steps.

  A beautiful face with a hint of apology smiled slightly, lips opening faintly, "Sorry, I'm late."

  Su Wanwan sat with her back against the gate, she didn't see the person's appearance, but only heard this voice, and her whole body's blood froze in an instant.
