Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan graciously invited Shao Erlang and his brother to their home for lunch. After informing them about the invitation, they requested Mei Qing to come over and meet Shao Erlang. If he found her interesting, they hoped he would consider settling down.
Shao Erlang found himself tempted by the proposition. He had already given up on pursuing Ms. Zhang, determined not to cause her any further trouble. His family couldn't tolerate the torment she had inflicted upon them, and he was concerned that she might lead his children astray.
