Yang Mu Ye looked at Xia Tian Meng, who was emitting a sorrowful and indignant aura, reached out to grasp her shoulders, and smiled at Liang Min: "Auntie, as Meng's friend, I can only say that Meng has never been disobedient. Why are you being so harsh on your own daughter? This doesn't match the kind image you usually have."

  Liáng Mǐn gave him a cold glance: "This is our Xià family's internal affair, what relation does Mr. Yáng have with her to intervene?"

  Yang Muyang slightly lowered his smile, and pulled Xia Tianmeng, who had been stiff and silent all along, into his arms. He said, "I respect you as Mengmeng's mother, so please don't be too extreme. Steel is easily broken when bent to the extreme." He didn't expect that Mrs. Xia's dislike for Xia Tianmeng had reached this point. As a mother and daughter, what kind of grudge could they have? It seemed he needed to investigate further.

  "How dare you, a young whippersnapper like you, speak to me?" Liang Min saw Yang Mu Ye paying attention to Xia Tian Meng and was furious. This little tramp only knew how to pretend to be pitiful and entice men!

  "Shut up!" A loud shout came from the staircase entrance.

  Li Mian looked back at the stairs in shock, only to see Lao Xia leaning on his cane and glaring at her. It was then that she remembered the maid telling her that Old Master was resting upstairs, so she pretended to be calm and said: "Dad, why did you come down?"

  Xia Lao saw Xia Tian Meng hanging his head in disappointment, while Xia Tian Yu sat there silently, even more furious: "If I didn't come down, what else do you want to lose face in front of your juniors? You don't have the slightest appearance of being a mother! Let people laugh at you!"

  Liang Min's face stiffened and she didn't dare to talk back to Xia Lao, but in her heart, she grew even more disgusted with Xia Tian. If it weren't for the fact that she herself wouldn't be treated so disrespectfully by Xia Lao!

  "Yang family's young master, what is going on between you and our family's Mengmeng?" Xia Lao scrutinized Yang Muyang, although he doted on Mengmeng, but after all, his son and daughter-in-law didn't treat her very well. Now that he was still alive, his daughter-in-law was already treating Mengmeng like this, who knows what kind of grievances Mengmeng would suffer in the family if he were to pass away? So naturally, he wanted to find a good husband for Mengmeng.

  Yang Mu Ye is considered a young and talented individual in the capital city, and AI is also a well-known company. Looking at his attitude towards Miao Miao's care, Miao Miao wouldn't be wronged if she followed him.

  Thinking so, Xia Lao became more and more satisfied with Yang Mu Ye.

  Yang Mu Ye stood up straight, slightly bowing his body: "Summer Grandfather, I am pursuing Momo." As soon as the words fell, he felt a sour pain in his waist, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that it was Xia Tian Momo's hand on his waist. He couldn't help but laugh, "But Momo hasn't agreed to me yet."

  Xia Tianyu slightly raised his head, saw Xia Tianmeng leaning in Yang Muye's arms, and inexplicably felt displeased: "Didn't General Manager Yang just break up with Mengmeng a while ago?" Is it all for the sake of a little assistant? He really doesn't put their Xia family in his eyes!

  Yang Muyang was taken aback, clearly not expecting Xia Tianyu to have also heard about the matter. Seeing Xia Lao furrow his brow, he hastily promised: "This is my fault, I'm currently trying to get Mengmeng's forgiveness, and in the future I will definitely treat Mengmeng well."

  Xia Lao saw Xia Tian Meng only bowing his head and not speaking, so he asked: "Meng Meng, what do you think?" He couldn't just follow the crowd, he thought Yang Mu Ye was good, but that didn't mean Meng Meng liked him.

  Xia Tian Mo looked up and met Xia Lao's loving gaze, pausing for a long time until Yang Mu Ye and Xia Tian Yu both had sweaty palms before hesitantly opening his mouth: "Grandfather, I need to think about it some more."

  Yang Mu Ye revealed a smile, as long as she was willing to reconsider, he had a chance. He didn't know why, but in front of outsiders, he always felt inexplicably tense when facing her, despite being strong-willed.

  Xia Tianyu lowered his head again, secretly mocking himself in his heart. Whether she accepted Yang Mu Ye or not had nothing to do with him; after all, he couldn't be together with her.

  Qin Yushan, who had been ignored all along, saw Old Xia nodding and looking at her, and hastily bowed: "Hello, Old Xia."

  Xia Lao looked her up and down, nodded slightly, and turned to Xia Tianyu: "Tianyu, is this your girlfriend?" Still taking marriage as a prerequisite? How could he look at his own grandson as someone who values emotions over interests?

  Xia Tianyu felt the gaze from Xia Tianmeng, stiffened his face and nodded: "Yes, Grandfather." Yes, wasn't it already decided long ago? Why was he suddenly having second thoughts again?

  Qin Yushan felt sweet, Xia Tianyu was willing to say so in front of Old Man Xia, which meant he really wanted to marry her. Although she couldn't feel his love, with such a long future ahead, she believed she could eventually make him fall in love with her.

  Xia Lao didn't say anything in the end and left Yang Mu Ye and Qin Yu Shan to have dinner.

  Liang Min looked at the two pairs sitting in the living room, feeling so angry that her heart was trembling. She only cared about Xia Tianmeng and had forgotten that there was also a cheap woman who had been eyeing Tianyu!

  "How long has Miss Qin been in the entertainment industry?" Liang Min picked up her tea and took a sip, suppressing her anger. She couldn't rush things; she had to let Tianyu know what kind of woman was suitable for him, and what kind of woman was only suitable for playing around with.

  Qin Yushan glanced at Xia Tianmeng, who was sitting across from her with his head down and not making a sound, and smiled: "Four years." She had used four years to climb from being a small artist to becoming the current "national first love", which was already impressive, but in Mrs. Xia's eyes, it seemed like nothing at all.

  Li Mian's eyes flashed with disdain as she continued to smile and asked her: "Which university did Miss Qin graduate from?"

  This question hit Qin Yushan's weakness, she entered the drama group after graduating from high school, and her education was also a nominal title given to her by the company in an ordinary university later on. She is not comparable to Xia Tianyu, one of the top students at B University in China, let alone having obtained so many certificates.

  Li Mian didn't wait for her response and covered her mouth, laughing: "Oh dear, this is my fault. Someone like Miss Qin who has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry at such a young age probably doesn't have much time to focus on her studies either. Tianyu has been an excellent student since he was little, I've always thought that he should find someone with a high level of education so they can have common ground." Her words were spoken without any embarrassment.

  Qin Yushan knew that Liang Min would make things difficult for her, but hearing her sarcasm still made her feel sad.

  "Mother." Just as Xia Tianyu was about to speak, he saw Xia Tianmeng open her mouth. Her beautiful face had a sarcastic smile on it, "Can making things difficult for Miss Qin make you appear more noble?"

  Liang Min's desire for control is too strong, from childhood to adulthood, she has always been like this towards Xia Tianyu's matters, not allowing anything beyond her control. Now that Xia Tianyu brings his girlfriend back home, and it's not even the wealthy family's daughter she wanted, she feels suffocated in her heart right now.

  Qin Yushan did not expect that the one who would speak up for her would be Xia Tianmeng. Her heart felt sour, and it seemed that in the eyes of outsiders, a well-born young lady like herself was just an unloved daughter at home.

  "Mother, you don't have to worry about Yu Shan." Xia Tianyu cut off Liang Min's words that were about to come out, reached out and grasped Qin Yushan's icy hand on her knees, with a warm smile. "No matter who I marry, they will all be part of the Xia family." When he said this, he could feel Xia Tianmeng casting him a sorrowful glance, but he still said it.

  He can't let the still young Mengmeng continue to indulge in a hopeless emotion, he must make her disappointed and even desperate, only when she's hurt will she let go.
