Milo Restaurant.
In the VIP room, a woman dressed in luxurious attire was looking over the menu.
After choosing the dishes, she turned to Mu Bai and said earnestly, "Son, don't blame your mom. Look, you're not getting any younger; it's time to carry on the Mu Family line..."
Mu Bai's expression didn't change much; he simply responded with an "hmm."
Seeing this, Liang Yinqiu persuaded, "The girl you're going on a blind date with has good qualities all around, so don't be unhappy..."
Mu Bai responded with another "hmm," clearly indifferent to this matchmaking dinner.
Seeing his discontent, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liang Yinqiu's eyes.
If the old man wasn't critically ill, she wouldn't have taken this risky step.
To obtain certain things, the most traditional methods were necessary. Only this way could the inheritance rights possibly fall to her son!
"This way, please, you two."
The waiter led Shen Cheng and Shen Zhongming into the VIP room, then quietly closed the door and left.
At this moment, calling it a coincidence would be an understatement.
Even after four years, Liang Yinqiu recognized Shen Cheng at a glance.
And wasn't Shen Cheng also immediately able to recognize the elegant lady standing before her?
Such an unexpected twist...
Isn't it just funny?! It's downright absurd!
Life is just that dramatic; the people you don't want to see will cheekily appear right in front of you.
"Have you two come to the wrong place?" Liang Yinqiu spoke slowly, her tone just as sharp and sarcastic as four years ago.
Her words were full of ridicule and disdain.
Hearing this, Mu Bai finally glanced at the newcomers.
At the instant he saw Shen Zhongming and Shen Cheng, a flash of obvious shock appeared in his eyes.
"Chengzi?"
As soon as Mu Bai spoke, Liang Yinqiu quickly interrupted, "Son, don't bother with unrelated people. The girl you're here to meet will be arriving soon; don't make a fool of yourself."
She deliberately emphasized "matchmaking" to dissuade Shen Cheng from staying.
Unbeknownst to her, Shen Cheng was the matchmaking partner she was talking about.
"Let's go, daughter!" For the first time, Shen Zhongming acted so decisively.
With a cold glance at the mother and son, Shen Cheng turned and left.
"Chengzi! Wait!"
Seeing her leave, Mu Bai hurriedly chased after her.
Shen Zhongming crossed his arms, directly blocking Mu Bai's path, separating him from Shen Cheng.
"Uncle, I..."
"Don't say anything; my daughter doesn't fit your high standards!"
Mu Bai was eager to explain, but Shen Zhongming's words cut him off.
Unable to sit still, Liang Yinqiu's elegant face showed a hint of thin anger as she stepped forward, speaking mercilessly, "Since you know you can't match up, take your precious daughter and leave quickly..."
Her words annoyed Shen Cheng, "What do you mean by 'precious'?"
Liang Yinqiu chuckled coldly, "What I meant then is what I mean now."
She then gave Shen Cheng a long, hard look, "Shen Cheng, I know exactly what kind of person you are. There are some things I don't want to say bluntly to avoid hurting your pride."
Hearing such words, Shen Cheng laughed, "You really are good at pretending!"
At the sound, Liang Yinqiu angrily retorted, "Who are you calling a pretender?"
Shen Cheng smirked, "Whoever answers is who I'm referring to."
Liang Yinqiu was so furious her face turned green, "Shen Cheng, let me tell you! Don't think that just because my son still likes you, you can be so overbearing!"
Shen Cheng squinted at her, unfazed, "I'm being overbearing?"
