Although Mu Qingxiao hadn't interacted much with them, he knew that people at their level always kept their word. Who didn't have a stubborn temper?
"Uncle Qin, don't worry. As long as Grandpa Qin can hold his liquor, he can drink as much as he wants."
"We're relieved to hear that. By the way, you have to come over when you're free. Father has been asking to see you every day. Most importantly, I'm going to be a father. Father's biggest wish was to have a grandson. Now that his wish has come true, we really don't know how to thank you for your kindness …"
After hanging up the phone, Mu Qingxiao fell into deep thought. It seemed that the "Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture" he had left behind had solved their hidden illness. Man Shuyun's pregnancy was naturally a great joy for the Qin Family.
The Qin Family's offspring was all thanks to Mu Qingxiao. They were naturally grateful to him, so they invited him over for a meal.
To be able to dine in the Qin Family's courtyard was the dream of all the aristocrats in the capital. To him, it was just an ordinary meal. In the end, the date was set to be one month later.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
Jinghai City was as usual. The white poplar leaves on both sides of the road were completely yellow. Only the maple leaves became redder as autumn approached. Against the blue sky and white clouds, it added a beautiful autumn scenery.
It couldn't be more appropriate to describe this scene as "the frost leaves were redder than the flowers in February."
At this time, the heater was already turned on in the Jin Di villa. Ouyang Zi Yan sat on the sofa and looked at the caller ID on her phone. Her beautiful eyes were filled with nervousness, and even her delicate body was trembling slightly.
The caller ID was Ouyang Shuo, the current head of the Ouyang Family. He was also Ouyang Zi Yan's biological father. It didn't take a genius to guess the purpose of the call. Other than urging her to get married, there was nothing else.
The phone on the coffee table kept vibrating. Mu Qingxiao held Ouyang Zi Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Zi Yan, trust me."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zi Yan nodded slightly. He picked up his phone and put it on speaker. Then, he heard an exasperated man's voice. "Ouyang Zi Yan, where are you?"
Upon hearing the man's voice, Ouyang Zi Yan frowned. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disgust as she said to Mu Qingxiao, "This is my father."
"Ouyang Zi Yan, say something. Have you grown up and decided not to listen to me anymore?"
Ouyang Zi Yan took a deep breath and said, "I'm working. I don't have time to answer the phone. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Work?"
"Your Second Uncle and Second Aunt have already arrived in Jinghai. They stayed in Jindi Resort for two days and didn't even see your shadow. Don't think that you'll be fine after hiding for a while. If you know what's good for you, quickly come back and settle the marriage with Yunfei. Otherwise, even if I have to tie you up, I'll get someone to tie you up and bring you back!"
Upon hearing Ouyang Shuo's words, Ouyang Zi Yan was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably and her eyes became moist. On the other end of the phone, was this really her biological father?
Mu Qingxiao hurriedly hugged her in his arms. Ouyang Zi Yan snuggled into his arms and hung up the phone. Her voice trembled as she gritted her teeth and said, "He wants me to go back and marry Chu Yunfei."
Stroking her beautiful hair, Mu Qingxiao comforted her. "Don't worry. This matter will be over soon."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zi Yan's trembling body finally calmed down. She lifted her head and gazed at his gentle and calm expression with her moist eyes. She couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Since your Second Uncle and Second Aunt are already at Jindi Resort, let's go and take a look." With that, Mu Qingxiao held Ouyang Zi Yan's hand and walked out of the villa.
As Mu Qingxiao gently held her hand, Ouyang Zi Yan looked at his back. Although he wasn't very generous, he was able to shield her from the wind and rain. A faint smile appeared on her face and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared. She followed him out of the villa.

At the same time, in the service center of Jindi Resort, a middle-aged man and woman sat on the sofa in Ouyang Zi Yan's office.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a long dress and heavy makeup. She was holding a cup of tea delivered by a waiter. The anger in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
"Does Zi Yan still think of herself as a member of the Ouyang Family? Not only is she taking up so much of the family's resources, she's becoming more and more presumptuous. She hasn't even returned home for a few years. She's made us worry so much about her. Chu Yunfei is a handsome man. How could he not be worthy of her? How could she be so picky?"
"Can you stop talking? Zi Yan is your niece. That girl has a stubborn personality. Besides, this is a major event in her life. She has to be willing. Otherwise, who knows what will happen if the two of them get together?"
This handsome middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses was called Ouyang Hanxiao. He was Ouyang Zi Yan's Second Uncle. He didn't approve of this marriage.
"Why are you still speaking up for her? We've been waiting here for two days and we haven't even seen her shadow. She might not even treat us as her family. It's not easy to find a young and promising man like Chu Yunfei, not to mention he's the legitimate son of the Chu Family."
The woman was called Liu Yaoyao. She wasn't related to Ouyang Zi Yan by blood. Her looks were average and her clothes were elegant. However, she made people feel that she was gorgeously dressed. With heavy makeup, her red phoenix eyes were full of arrogance, as if she was superior to others.
"I don't know what kind of personality Chu Yunfei has, but I've heard a lot of news. He's a womanizer. I haven't heard anything good, but I've heard a lot of bad things. As Zi Yan's family, we should think of her happiness."
Ouyang Hanxiao's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain. He then said, "You said that he's young and promising. Which entertainment venue isn't funded by the Chu Family? Look at this Supreme Jin. It's all founded by Zi Yan. The gap between them is huge. Do you think he's worthy of my niece?"
Hearing this, Liu Yaoyao's red phoenix eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. "What's the use of telling me whether he's worthy or not? You should tell Big Brother. Besides, the Chu Family is a big family. Big Brother is her father and I'm her Second Aunt. Why would I harm her?"
"Since Chu Yunfei has taken a fancy to her and has personally come to propose marriage, the Ouyang Family has been left behind by the other four families. We should take advantage of this opportunity to raise the Ouyang Family's voice."
Liu Yaoyao's words were sharp and mean. She said it was for Ouyang Zi Yan, but she didn't want to leave the Chu Family.
Ouyang Hanxiao sat there drinking tea. Regarding Liu Yaoyao's brainless words, it went in one ear and out the other. His deep eyes were thinking about the matter of the marriage.
Although the current Ouyang Family had a high status in the business field, they were far behind in other aspects, especially in a place like the capital where the waters were unfathomable.
Chu Yunfei came to propose marriage. Many people in the Ouyang Family thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ouyang Zi Yan had become their bargaining chip. It was also a resource that would allow the Ouyang Family to catch up with the other families.
