Shen Nian looked at everyone with some difficulty, her expression very hesitant. She didn't want to bother Mo Ze.

After all, given his status, it's no joke to specifically call him out to be questioned by his roommate.

“He… is quite busy, probably won’t have time to come, and might not even be in Jiangcheng…” Shen Nian tried to dispel her roommates’ thoughts, but it didn’t seem to work.

Lin Ling stood up excitedly, "Niannian, stop making excuses for him. I can tell you've been manipulated by him quite a bit. You've been speaking well of him the whole time. Don't end up being sold out and still helping him count the money. If you won't call, I will. Give me your phone number, and I'll call him right now."

"No..." Shen Nian wanted to say something more.

Sitting next to her, Wu Sisi handed her phone to Lin Ling, and the three of them worked together to scan Shen Nian's face and unlock the phone.

Lin Ling opened her contacts and found the phone number labeled 'Uncle'.

She dialed the number without hesitation.

"Wait a minute." Shen Nian tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Because as soon as Lin Ling dialed the number, someone answered it.

"Hello, I'm Shen Nian's roommate. We're at a hot pot restaurant next to the small commodities market. Can you come over here now?" Lin Ling didn't wait for the other person to speak; as soon as the call connected, she got straight to the point.

When Mo Ze received Shen Nian's call, he was still at the company and hadn't left work yet. Before he could say anything, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end, asking him to come over. Mo Ze thought something had happened to Shen Nian again and immediately asked, "Did something happen to Nian Nian?"

His deep, magnetic voice made Lin Ling, who was on the phone, pause and lose focus for a few seconds.

"Niannian is fine. We need to talk to you. You absolutely must come over," Lin Ling said aggressively into the phone again.

Moze didn't ask any more questions, only replying, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian's heart jumped into her throat, and she looked anxiously at Lin Ling, who had just made the call.

The other two roommates chimed in, "So, does the other side dare to come?"

"If he makes excuses not to come, he must have something to hide."

Lin Ling handed her phone to Shen Nian, saying, "He agreed to come." Then she sat down and continued eating her hotpot, adding, "But his voice is quite nice; he doesn't sound like he's ten years older than Nian."

"What's the use of a nice voice? He's still just an old man," Chen Jia complained.

“That’s right!” Wu Sisi chimed in.

"I was just saying, don't worry, we'll definitely show him our power later." Lin Ling mumbled through her mouth while eating shrimp paste.

Shen Nian silently lowered her head, fiddling with the piece of beef in her bowl, wondering what to do next. Was the uncle really coming? She wondered if it would be too late to send him a WeChat message explaining and asking him not to come...

However, she had no chance at all, as her three roommates kept a close eye on her, afraid that she would do something underhanded.

Moreover, everyone agreed that she had been brainwashed by the older man's sweet talk.

About half an hour later, Mo Ze called Shen Nian to say that he had arrived.

The four of them had finished their hot pot, and Shen Nian suggested that they find a coffee shop nearby to wait, as the hot pot restaurant was too noisy.

Everyone agreed that this was a very serious matter and that they needed to find a quiet place to talk about it.

Now that Niannian and her partner have registered their marriage, they are in a weaker position. If they try to negotiate terms, they don't know if the other party will make unreasonable demands.

The four of them had just walked out of the hot pot restaurant when Shen Nian received a phone call.

When Mo Ze said he had arrived, Shen Nian looked around but couldn't see his car.

"Niannian, has the other party arrived yet?" Chen Jia asked casually when she saw Shen Nian looking around while making a phone call, her eyes also following her around.

Shen Nian nodded, "Yes, the uncle said he's here, but I haven't seen his car yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar black sedan pulled up in a parking space on the side of the road. The driver's side door was opened, and a man in a silver suit got out of the car. He walked with firm but slow steps, his arms swinging naturally in front of and behind him. His long, straight legs were wrapped in suit trousers, giving him a kind of ascetic allure. He slowly walked step by step toward the four people in front of the hot pot restaurant.

Finally, he stopped walking and stood in front of the four people.

Apart from Shen Nian, the other three were stunned.

She stared blankly at Mo Ze, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

"Hello, I'm Moze." Moze took the initiative to greet them, a faint smile on his lips, which stunned the three of them.

Where did this handsome guy come from? He actually took the initiative to greet them. Looks like we made the right choice going out today.

Just as the three were still a little confused, Shen Nian called out to Mo Ze, "Uncle~"

This completely brought the three roommates back to reality.

The three of them stared in disbelief at Shen Nian and then at the handsome man in front of them. It took them a while to find their voices. "Nian Nian, is this your...husband?" Lin Ling spoke first, and the word "husband" made Mo Ze's lips curl up even more.

"So handsome?!" Chen Jia didn't hide her feelings at all and praised him directly.

Wu Sisi nodded repeatedly beside her, unable to find any adjectives to describe it.

The three of them originally planned to find someone else to question them, and hopefully get a supplementary agreement signed.

Everyone stepped back, pushing Shen Nian to the front. "It was Nian Nian who asked you to come," Lin Ling said, directly shifting the blame to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian didn't notice and bumped into Mo Ze's arms.

She quickly backed out, her face flushed.

Mo Ze smiled at Shen Nian's roommate, "I recognized your voice. You were the one who called me just now, weren't you?"

He said to Lin Ling.

Lin Ling was embarrassed; being caught red-handed was incredibly awkward.

The last group went to the nearby coffee shop.

The location was chosen by Mo Ze; it was a high-end coffee shop that they would never normally go to, and they went straight to the best private room.

With floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, you can see the beautiful scenery of Jiangcheng just by looking up.

After everyone sat down, everyone except Mo Ze seemed a little awkward, especially Shen Nian's three roommates.

Originally, they came as the bride's family to confront her, but the group secretly sized up Mo Ze. He didn't seem like the type to cheat Shen Nian out of money.

After all, the car he drives costs over a million, and look at that bespoke suit and his extraordinary demeanor.

Tsk tsk tsk... I never expected that Niannian could find such a gem by just randomly choosing someone to marry.

Just look at that face, even if I were scammed out of money, I'd be a hundred thousand times willing to do it!

(I was planning to resume two updates a day today, but there's a ton of work to do, I'm unhappy at work and want to write novels full-time, but I'm not even making ends meet. I'm working like a dog and still getting criticized, sigh~ that's all for today, everyone. Tomorrow, adjust your mindset and get back to writing.)
