"Madam, family interests must come first." Tang Guohua said earnestly, "For a family to thrive and endure, everyone must prioritize family interests. Otherwise, the family won't last long."

"Sigh, I don't understand these family interests." Mrs. Tang sighed and said, "I only know how to support my husband and raise my children."

Tang Yumeng couldn't stay in the room any longer. She pulled Lin Chuan and began to walk out. Just as they stepped out, Tang Guohua's voice came from behind, "If you dare to walk out of this house, I will no longer recognize you as my daughter."

"This isn't the first time you've said this." Tang Yumeng snorted softly.

"You!" Tang Guohua was extremely angry. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Ah, this unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter."

"Don't be angry, your blood pressure will rise again if you are." Mrs. Tang hurriedly advised.

Tang Guohua said helplessly, "I might as well be angered to death."

............

Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan walked down the stairs. Tang Yumeng was in a very bad mood.

"Lin Chuan, let's go." Tang Yumeng looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, a place she called home. She didn't expect to clash with her family again the very first day she returned. Biting her lip, Tang Yumeng said, "We've quarreled already, so might as well never come back again."

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't want our wedding to lack the blessings of your parents and your family. Otherwise, it won't be a complete love."

"Then, what should we do?" Tang Yumeng clenched her teeth and said, "The Xie family will come to propose tomorrow, and a week later, I am supposed to be engaged to Xie Tianyi. If things can't change, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Beijing."

"Xiao Yu, do you trust me?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I do, of course I trust you." Tang Yumeng nodded seriously and said, "Other than you, who else can I trust now?"

"Alright, then stay at home." Lin Chuan said earnestly, "Wait for me at home. I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Tang Yumeng suddenly asked.

"Don't ask where I'm going." Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yumeng seriously and said, "Trust me, I will find a solution. Xie Tianyi wants to marry you, but I won't let him succeed. In this world, aside from me, no one else has the right to marry you."

Lin Chuan's words were domineering, which made Tang Yumeng fall for him instantly. She bit her red lips and said, "Fine, I'll wait for you at home. Tomorrow, I want you to appear with all your imposing presence and defeat the Xie family."

"Mm!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Subsequently, Tang Yumeng personally saw Lin Chuan to the door. Just as they reached the entrance, Uncle Liu blocked Tang Yumeng's path and said, "Miss, the master instructed that you cannot go out."

"Uncle Liu, I'm just seeing Lin Chuan off." Tang Yumeng glanced at Uncle Liu and said, "Don't worry, I won't trouble you."

"That's good then." Uncle Liu nodded and did not stop her. Tang Yumeng's words were indeed trustworthy. Besides, the bond between Tang Yumeng and Uncle Liu was quite deep. Naturally, Tang Yumeng wouldn't give him a hard time.

Tang Yumeng personally saw Lin Chuan to the entrance of the complex.

"Lin Chuan, remember your words." Tang Yumeng hugged Lin Chuan.

"Don't worry, I will definitely follow through." Lin Chuan nodded seriously and said, "I will come tomorrow for sure. I will do everything I can to marry you."

"Mm!" Tang Yumeng nodded.

Finally, Tang Yumeng watched Lin Chuan leave the complex.

............

The Tang family.

Tang Guohua got up and walked downstairs, strolling around the house in his loose robe.

"Old Liu, where's Miss?" Tang Guohua asked.

"Miss saw Lin Chuan off." Uncle Liu said seriously.

"Oh?" Tang Guohua was taken aback and said, "She actually saw Lin Chuan off? I thought Lin Chuan would stay at the house tonight. Where else could Lin Chuan go after leaving here? Could he be staying at a hotel?"

"I don't quite understand." Uncle Liu shook his head. Regarding the Tang family's affairs, he seldom intervened.

In the Tang family, besides Tang Yumeng, Tang Guohua had three younger brothers. These brothers had three boys and three girls among them—each family having one boy and one girl. Currently, the head position of the Tang family was still held by Tang Guohua's father, Tang Zhenguo. He was a central authority elder with power that could be said to cover the sky with one hand. If he stomped his foot, the earth might tremble thrice.

Tang Guohua hesitated for a moment and made a call to his father, Tang Zhenguo, informing him that Tang Yumeng had returned home and that the Xie family would come to propose tomorrow. He hoped the old man could come and manage the situation.

Logically, this matter shouldn't require the old man's involvement. After all, holding such power, when the old man went out in Beijing, he was the type who needed an armed police escort. Just one marriage event, and it's only for Tang Yumeng, not for the eldest grandson. If Tang Hao were still alive and getting engaged, the old man would definitely need to step in and be present.

"Sure, I'll come by tomorrow." The old man nodded.

The reason Tang Guohua wanted to do this was to gain the old man's favor. After all, the authority of the family head was entirely in the old man's hands. If the old man was satisfied with Xie Tianyi, then the position of the family head would likely be his in the future. By holding the initiative in the family, he would have a significant advantage in the distribution of family benefits. This was something Tang Guohua had always wanted to strive for.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Guohua was very satisfied.

At this moment, Tang Yumeng walked in from outside, seemingly in a good mood. She knew Lin Chuan had a card up his sleeve in Beijing. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so relaxed.

"Yumeng." Tang Guohua spoke.

"Dad, what's up?" Tang Yumeng asked with a smile.

"You..." Tang Guohua was a bit surprised at Tang Yumeng's attitude. Hadn't she just fallen out with him? How had her attitude changed so quickly? Tang Guohua quickly said, "Your grandfather is coming tomorrow, so prepare well."

"Grandfather is coming?" Tang Yumeng was taken aback, a bit surprised.

"Yes!" Tang Guohua nodded.

"Why did you call grandfather over too?" Tang Yumeng was evidently quite astonished.

"Tomorrow is your engagement day, how could I not invite him?" Tang Guohua glanced at her.

"Oh!" Tang Yumeng pursed her lips and nodded. Inside, she had her own little calculations. If her grandfather could come, it would seemingly be quite helpful to her. Moreover, Tang Yumeng believed that a more exciting, brilliant scene would certainly unfold tomorrow. If her grandfather came, he might even uphold justice for her. At the very least, her grandfather loved her more than her father did. For this reason, she looked forward to her grandfather's arrival even more.

Tang Yumeng turned and brushed past Tang Guohua. Although Tang Guohua was a bit confused inside, he chose to remain silent in the end. After all, the engagement was happening tomorrow, so he felt that no matter how much Tang Yumeng resisted, it would ultimately come to naught.

...............

After leaving the Tang family, Lin Chuan crossed the road.

Just as he was about to hail a car to leave, suddenly, a sleek black supercar stopped in front of him. Just as Lin Chuan was feeling puzzled, the car window rolled down.

"It's you?" Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned.

"Get in." Xie Tianyi glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "Where to? I'll give you a lift."

Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment but eventually chose to get in the car. He believed Xie Tianyi wouldn't harm him. Instead, he felt the other party wouldn't do anything unfavorable to him. After getting in the car, Xie Tianyi smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, I didn't think you had quite some guts!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to marry Tang Yumeng." Lin Chuan smiled without fastening his seatbelt.

Roar...

At this moment, Xie Tianyi quickly stepped on the gas, and the powerful engine roared. The successive roars were thrilling. The huge force pressing his back made Lin Chuan stick tightly to the seat. The car accelerated from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour in about four or five seconds, showcasing the rapid speed typical of a Ferrari 911 supercar.

"Don't you know I'm getting engaged to Tang Yumeng tomorrow?" Xie Tianyi asked.

"I know!" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Then why do you stay?" Xie Tianyi smiled at Lin Chuan and said, "How about I take you to the airport? Leave early and stop interfering with the relationship between me and Tang Yumeng, how about that?"

"No." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I won't leave."

"Tell me, what do you want?" Xie Tianyi said helplessly, "Money? How much? Name your price. An apartment in Beijing's Second Ring, how about that?"

"You're quite generous!" Lin Chuan smiled at Xie Tianyi and said, "An apartment in Beijing's Second Ring is worth over tens of millions, yet you offer it just like that. Truly generous."

"That little money is nothing." Xie Tianyi said disdainfully, "For Tang Yumeng, I'm willing to spend that much."

"But I don't want money, nor a house." Lin Chuan said with a disdainful smile.

"So what do you want? A luxury car? Beauties?" Xie Tianyi asked with a grin.

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "What I want is Tang Yumeng. To put it bluntly, the one truly interfering in Tang Yumeng's relationship is you, because the person Tang Yumeng likes is me, the person she loves is also me."

"Sometimes, emotions can't be eaten." Xie Tianyi glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "In big families like the Tang family, marriage alliances are the most sensible choice. It's not just for the interests of the family, but for its long-term survival."

"Sometimes, finding a reliable son-in-law is more reliable than finding a reliable family." Lin Chuan said with a faint smile.

"So, you're not willing to back down?" Xie Tianyi asked.

"Of course!" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "If you want to pursue Tang Yumeng, do it openly. But of course, you need the capability to do so."

"Tomorrow I'm getting engaged to her, what use is there in what you say?" Xie Tianyi laughed, "Once we're engaged, all of Beijing will know Tang Yumeng is marrying me, Xie Tianyi. So, don't overthink it. The one who will ultimately lose is you. I advise you to honestly accept my money and house so it won't end up not worth the loss."
