Although Elder Tang had deliberately caught him off guard, he remained calm. His thin lips curled slightly, his upturned peach blossom eyes curved into crescents, and he greeted the old man first: "Grandpa."

"Shuya is here. Let me introduce you. This is..."

"I know, Mr. Hu from Laixin Group." Tang Shuya immediately came back and extended his hand. "Hello, Mr. Hu, I've heard a lot about you."

Hu Shi quickly shook his hand and said, "You're welcome. Mr. Tang, I've heard a lot about you. Now that I've met you, I can see you're truly a handsome young man."

"You are so kind. I am just a junior and I am far inferior to you."

Everyone loves to hear flattery. Hu Shi's smile deepened, and he pulled the reluctant girl next to him up. "I forgot to introduce you. This is my daughter, Hu Nanzhen. She just came back from abroad."

"Ms. Hu, nice to meet you." Tang Shuya smiled at her.

Hu Nanzhen looked up at the man. The bright warm yellow light above his head fell on his cheek, and the reflection of his long eyelashes flickered. He had an extremely gentle and handsome appearance, with warm and bright eyebrows and eyes. The gold-rimmed glasses perched on his high nose bridge made his gentle temperament reveal a bit of bookish air. He smiled lightly, as warm as the breeze.

Hu Nanzhen was stunned for a moment by such a striking appearance. Mrs. Hu, who was sitting next to her, pulled her and she came back to her senses. She smiled at Tang Shuya and then turned away as a greeting.

Tang Shuya noticed Hu Nanzhen's attitude, but still had a decent smile on his face.

Tang Shuya was very good at socializing. Apart from Hu Nanzhen's unhappy expression, the dinner went smoothly.

As the dinner was drawing to a close, Tang Shuya naturally asked for Miss Hu's contact information after being reminded by Mr. Tang.

Mrs. Hu glanced at her daughter and said with a smile, "By the way, there seems to be an orchestra concert at the Grand Theater tonight. It seems to be your favorite orchestra. Mom happens to have tickets. Do you want to go and see it?"

Tang Shuya understood the implication of Mrs. Hu's words. He looked at his watch. If he really wanted to go to the concert, it would have started long ago.

Hu Nanzhen curled her lips, completely ignoring her mother's words, and simply said, "I heard about that before I returned home."

"you……"

"I need to go to the bathroom."

Hu Nanzhen stood up and interrupted her mother.

Then she turned and walked out.

Hu Shi looked at Tang Shuya sheepishly and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, but my daughter came back to Country M with me when she was a teenager. She's used to being free and unrestrained. Please don't mind."

"It's okay." Tang Shuya curled the corners of his lips nonchalantly. "Ms. Hu has a straightforward personality, which is rare."

The old man was very satisfied with his grandson's well-balanced answers.

He stroked his beard and reminded, "Shuya, the decoration of this restaurant is very nice, and the layout is very reasonable. Didn't you say before that you wanted to open a restaurant? I think you can take this opportunity to go out and take a look."

Tang Shuya sneered in his heart. The old man was obviously trying to drive him away to create a chance for him and Hu Nanzhen to be alone.

How could he dare not disobey the old man's kindness? After all, there are countermeasures to every policy.

After leaving the box, Tang Shuya strolled leisurely. At the other end of the corridor, he heard Hu Nanzhen talking on the phone.

"I just returned home and haven't even had a few days to play, and they're already setting me up on a blind date! That's too much!"

Hu Nanzhen's voice was not small and could be heard clearly throughout the corridor.

Tang Shuya took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly for her to finish the call.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. What have you been doing recently? You can't hide from a broken heart. The more you hide, the harder it is to get over it. I don't care. You have to go out with me."

Before she could finish her words, Hu Nanzhen turned around inadvertently and saw Tang Shuya leaning lazily behind her.

She was stunned at first, then said to the other end of the phone: "Talk to me later. I have something to do here."

Then he hung up the phone and looked at Tang Shuya, "What are you doing? Why are you eavesdropping on people's phone calls?"

"Sorry." Tang Shuya smiled faintly, "I just didn't know how to interrupt. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

His attitude was very frank and seemed sincere.

Hu Nanzhen looked at him, thought for a few seconds, and said, "I didn't know it was a blind date today. My mom dragged me here."

Tang Shuya gently pulled the corner of his lips and smiled without saying a word.

Hu Nanzhen continued, "I wasn't angry just now, but it wasn't directed at you. I just don't like this kind of behavior where people act first and ask for your permission later. And what do you think we are? Commodities? Exchanging them for profit? Anyway, I don't like it."

Tang Shuya raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little bit fresh. It was the first time that he was called a commodity.

I couldn't help but look at Hu Nanzhen twice more.

Hu Nanzhen didn't like to be shy and asked directly, "What do you think?"

He paused slightly, his eyes gentle, and smiled at her, "Since Miss Hu is not interested, I will naturally respect the lady's wishes."

The implication is that he has no interest in this marriage.

Seeing the other party being so nonchalant, Hu Nanzhen should have felt relieved, but for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Doesn't he mean that he has no interest in me?

He had a very good appearance and spoke in an extraordinary way. In such a quiet night, he was so elegant and refined that even the bright moon in the sky was eclipsed.

He is not like other young masters from aristocratic families. He is a cold and aloof flower on the mountain top, unattainable.

There is always a faint smile on his lips, which makes him seem approachable and makes people feel a little bit favorable towards him.

Hu Nanzhen suddenly felt a little regretful. Who doesn’t like handsome guys?

Even if it's not yours, it's okay to take a look, right?

She bit her lip and continued, "Our two families may have some business dealings, so it's not impossible for us to be friends."

Hu Nanzhen quickly tried to make amends, saying that one cannot be so sure about what will happen in the future.

"Okay, I'm fine with anything." Tang Shuya smiled and said, "We've been out for too long, let's go back."

Hu Nanzhen responded, and the two of them returned to the box together.

The parents were very pleased to see them come back together, especially Grandpa Tang. Although he hadn't done anything about the matter, he looked as if he had already drunk tea from his grandson and daughter-in-law. All the wrinkles on his face were spread out, and he smiled like a blooming flower.

After dinner, Tang Shuya also got into the old man's car and went with him to go home.

And his car was following behind.

"What is your impression of Miss Hu?"

As soon as Mr. Tang got in the car, he asked, he was very satisfied with Hu Nanzhen. But his satisfaction was useless, it still depended on Tang Shuya's opinion.

"I personally feel she's pretty good." Tang Shuya pushed his eyes with his fingertips and replied, "But she doesn't seem to be interested in me."

Mr. Tang clicked his tongue, obviously not believing what Tang Shuya said.

"Of course she would say that when we first met. Girls are reserved. If you're interested, go after her."

Tang Shuya lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Mr. Tang looked sideways at him, "Or do you have someone you like?"
