The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xing Yanzhao had only recently returned to the Xing family and had not yet established an emotional connection with them, he, as a "raccoon dog," knew best that feelings could be built over time; otherwise, his mother would not have protected him so much instead of her own son.

Xing Zhengyu spoke with deep affection.

Pei Youyou beamed with joy: "Of course I'm willing! You asked me that on the day of the engagement banquet, and I said it too."

As the car slowly drove along the road, the driver in the front seat suddenly said, "Miss Pei, our young master really cares about you. He has always carried the engagement letter, which you both signed, with him."

Xing Zhengyu looked at the driver, who was his confidant and someone he could trust.

He simply couldn't remember where he had put the engagement certificate.

"I'll give this to Miss Pei." The driver took a box from the passenger side and handed it to the back. "Miss Pei, please take a look. This engagement certificate has your name and our young master's name on it. It should have been the two of you who got married."

Pei Youyou reached out and took it, then opened it to take a look.

It really is their engagement letter.

They signed the names in front of both sets of parents.

"Brother Zhengyu always carries it with him?" Pei Youyou was deeply moved.

After seeing the engagement letter, Xing Zhengyu exchanged a glance with the driver, then looked away and said to Pei Youyou, "We were already carrying the marriage certificate with us half a month ago."

Xing Yanzhao visited their family a month before their wedding to formally acknowledge their relationship, which delayed the marriage registration. The wedding could not be canceled because the invitations had already been sent out, and the marriage between the Xing and Pei families was a done deal.

With the person suddenly changed, the Xing family felt it inappropriate to urge the two to get their marriage certificate and decided to wait until after the wedding.

"Youyou, I've always looked forward to our wedding. Knowing that you're going to marry someone else, I've never been able to face it. Now that I hear you don't have to marry someone else, I'm both happy and sad. I wish we could still get married on that day."

"I know it's impossible. Putting aside whether your family agrees or not, if we get married on that day, we'll probably steal the spotlight from my older brother and Luo Huai."

He knew Pei Youyou loved to steal the spotlight.

When Xing Yuru saw that the emerald necklace worth 300 million was being offered by Chairman Pei, an elder, she humbly declined.

This act of humility made Pei Youyou feel proud in front of all the socialites and heiresses for a long time.

Pei Youyou disliked Luo Huai and always tried to outdo her.

Nothing is more tempting than standing out in front of celebrities and outshining those you dislike.

Pei Youyou's eyes lit up immediately.

Not only could she outshine Luo Huai, but she could also marry the man she loved, Zheng Yu, and steal the limelight while everyone celebrated.

Where is Luo Huai?

Marrying a nobody from the countryside will only make her a laughingstock.

Zheng Yu is still in the Xing family and the Xing clan, which means that the Xing family has no intention of kicking Zheng Yu out. So, isn't her marriage to Zheng Yu also a marriage alliance between the Xing and Pei families?

After she marries into the family, the Xing family will definitely pay more attention to Zheng Yu.

Parents and brother don't need to favor Luo Huai because she has the burden of an arranged marriage; they will only care more about her.

Just do it!

The matter is settled.

Xing Zhengyu wasn't worried about the Pei family's disapproval. Pei Youyou was truly the apple of the Pei family's eye, and everyone in the industry knew that the Pei family spoiled her without limits.

The Xing family, however, is large and has complex relationships.

He needs to think things through carefully before taking any step.

The mother felt that her own son had been corrupted by the old woman who collected garbage, and she couldn't hide her disgust.

The younger sister, Xing Yuru, dislikes her carefree older brother.

They're easy to fool.

The father, however, faces a bit more difficulty.

Xing Zhengyu pondered a solution all the way home, and just then he overheard his parents mentioning that good-for-nothing.

"Old Xing, Yanzhao said he's taking the old lady abroad for medical treatment. Is he planning to elope? Our Xing family has its own hospital with advanced equipment and outstanding doctors. Why do we have to go abroad?" Xing's mother sat on the sofa, looking worried.

The Xing family is a typical family where the husband is the breadwinner and the wife stays at home. The marriage is all arranged by Xing's mother. If her son runs away from the wedding at a crucial moment, she will lose face.

While watching the international economic news, Xing's father said, "He won't run away from the wedding. The reason he came back is that the old lady who raised him was in a car accident and was injured. He needs connections and money, and he happened to see you and me at the hospital. He took the risk to come up to us and ask us to do a paternity test."

"He certainly has guts." Her words already carried a hint of admiration.

“Now that he has experienced the benefits of wealth, power, and status, he won’t give them up easily. Didn’t he say it himself? He’s waiting to get married so he can enter the Xing family.” Father Xing made no attempt to hide his admiration, a smile playing on his lips. “It shows that he won’t give up power and status for a woman or for love.”

Xing's mother did not speak.

He is very much like his father in this respect.

She seemed unwilling to bring it up, and when she turned her head and saw her son return, she called out to him.

Xing Zhengyu accompanied his mother for a walk by the pond in the garden. He didn't need to say much; as long as he took responsibility for the mix-up each time, his mother would feel guilty.

Xing's mother not only felt guilty, but also heartbroken when she saw her son, who was much taller than her, with his head down like an abandoned dog on the roadside.

"It's not your fault, it has nothing to do with you."

"Mom also hopes that you and Youyou will become a couple, but this matter involves a marriage between two families, so you need to ask your father for his consent."

Xing Zhengyu happily hugged his mother and then turned to find his father.

The father is in the study.

"Have you finished talking with your mother?"

Xing Zhengyu paused, his father clearly knew what he was about to do and had been waiting for him.

Mr. Xing was able to manage the entire Xing family, rising from president to chairman of Xing Corporation; he was no ordinary person.

"dad."

"Take them down one by one, starting with the weakest one. You're bound to succeed. Once you've gained some confidence, then move on to the next one." Father Xing didn't even look up, continuing to grip the carving knife.

Some people enjoy playing chess and strategizing, some enjoy practicing calligraphy to calm their minds, and some enjoy painting to cultivate their character.

Mr. Xing loved wood and stone carving; he would carve whatever he wanted by hand.

To some extent, Xing Zhengyu can also be considered one of the works he carved himself.

"You want to try to get the Pei family's support from Yan Zhao."

"Dad, Youyou and I are truly in love."

Xing's father remained unmoved, which made Xing Zhengyu nervous. He added, "I don't want to have any regrets with the woman I love."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that his father paused slightly in his carving.

The father had regrets.

Xing Zhengyu had once heard a rumor.

When my father was young, he loved the most dazzling and beautiful rose in Ningcheng's high society. However, because she was too beautiful and not the type that the elders liked, and her family background was not outstanding, my father eventually married my mother, who was from a well-to-do family.

She won over her grandparents and also gained support from her mother's family.

No matter how indifferent you were when you were young, once you get older, you tend to reminisce about your youth, recalling your youthful vigor and the regrets of your youth.

He's gambling.

I'm betting on my father's slightest bit of sympathy.

“Zhengyu, Yanzhao’s blood is mine.”
