“I feel that you’re sincere.” Qin Hanqiu agreed. He then clapped his hands and continued, “Finally, my brother is interested in a girl. Ran Ran was already ten when I was his age. We cannot afford to make any mistakes.”

It was the first time they were visiting, after all. Hence, Qin Hanqiu didn’t want to be a burden to Qin Xiuchen. They must visit them.

It wasn’t just about Qin Ran, He Chen, or Film Emperor Qin. It involved the four big families.

Qin Xiuchen was no longer restricted by his Fourth Master Qin’s identity. He no longer had to be so careful. Furthermore, he was handsome and adored by everyone. Tons of women from the four families wished to marry him.

This matter would affect not just the entertainment industry. It would send shock waves in the capital’s inner circle as well.

“If everything is alright with you guys, I’ll get the gifts.” The butler gave up and said, “We should visit tomorrow morning before 10 am.”

“What do you mean by 10 am?” Lu Zhaoying asked as he approached. He was just done with his work and hadn’t gotten the chance to change.

Qin Ran looked at him and answered, “We’ll have to be at Sister Chen’s before 10 am tomorrow.”

She would have to address Sister Chen differently in the future.

Qin Ran picked up the phone and stood up. She then remembered something and spoke to Pan Mingyue. “It’ll take a couple of days to settle the things at the Inspection Institute. Take a few days off.”

“Alright.” Pan Mingyue was familiar with He Chen as she had taken good care of her and Qin Ran. Pan Mingyue was planning to help with the photography at the wedding. She loved such events.

However, as the main photographer was He Chen during Qin Ran’s wedding, Pan Mingyue couldn’t do anything that day.

Qin Ran then looked at Lu Zhaoying and asked him to send her back.

Lu Zhaoying nodded and replied, “Alright.”

All that was left to do was to settle the gifts they would bring tomorrow. Already too many people were going, and there was no point for Lu Zhaoying and Pan Mingyue to join in. Pan Mingyue also wanted to check on her equipment, so both of them left.

…

Lu Zhaoying drove his usual four-seater today.

He unlocked the car. Pan Mingyue went to the back seat and realized that there was a pile of things placed in the back seat.

She froze.

Lu Zhaoying frowned and explained, “I’m sorry, I forgot that my mom brought me some stuff. You’ll have to sit at the co-pilot seat.”

Pan Mingyue then sat on the co-pilot seat.

Lu Zhaoying then started the car. He became more mature after enlisting in the military for two years. However, he was still a prideful person.

He would only obey Qin Ran and Cheng Juan in the capital.

However, he was driving the car rather carefully this time.

He was, in fact, slower than most cars on the road.

He was even playing some soothing music.

Pan Mingyue leaned against the car door as she stared at the scenery outside. Then, Lu Zhaoying’s phone rang.

He picked it up and put it on speaker mode. Pan Mingyue couldn’t pretend to not hear him.

It was Madam Lu. She asked, “Are you back?”

“No.” Lu Zhaoying already knew what she was about to say and immediately rejected.

Madam Lu chuckled. “Miss Fan is heading over tonight. Come and meet her. You’re already 28. Are you only planning to get married after I die?”

Cheng Juan had skipped two grades previously. Hence, even though they enrolled in high school and university together, he was younger than Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t expect this from his mom and immediately disconnected the call. He then glanced at Pan Mingyue and explained, “She’s referring to a daughter of her friend. She’s trying to matchmake us together.”

“If you like that girl, you can try.” Pan Mingyue thought he was asking her for advice, so she gave him a suggestion.

Pan Mingyue then sighed. She shouldn’t have taken this ride home. She wouldn’t have sat on the co-pilot seat even if it was Song Luting driving.

However, Lu Zhaoying didn’t seem to like her suggestion.

He didn’t speak again for the rest of the ride. He didn’t pick up Mother Lu’s call as well, but he turned on the music instead.

It was only when they reached her place that he turned off the music. He then sent Pan Mingyue to her door in silence.

Lu Zhaoying then frowned and smoked a cigarette when Pan Mingyue entered her school.

His vibes had changed after being in the military for two years. On top of that, his perfect body proportions attracted everyone’s attention.

However, the fierce look on his face deterred everyone from approaching him.

…

Lu Zhaoying returned home.

Madam Lu was sending off an old madam with a smile. The old madam’s face lit up when she saw him.

Lu Zhaoying removed his cap and sat on the sofa in silence.

Madam Lu returned after sending the old madam off. She saw the state that her son was in and sighed.

The Lu family was a new power in the capital. This was mainly because Lu Zhaoying had chosen the right people to support previously.

They weren’t as powerful as the older families.

Lu Zhaoying had a reputation for being a player in the capital. However, he made it in the end and was in a comfortable position now, even though his family was nothing compared to the Cheng and Qin families.

“What are you looking at?” Lu Zhaoying asked as he found that his mother was staring at him.

Madam Lu answered, “Son, I feel we should give up.”

Back then she didn’t know much about Pan Mingyue. But after that, she found out that she was a close friend of Qin Ran’s and Song Luting’s sister. Her family had made a lot of contributions to the country as well. Her father had received national recognition for his works and her family members had dedicated their lives to the country for three generations.

Everyone in her family was a force to be reckoned with.

Even though Pan Mingyue wasn’t as pretty as Qin Ran, she was just as mature and had the same temperament as her.

Her family’s contributions and history were too overwhelming. Madam Lu could only look at Pan Mingyue with nothing but respect.

She would only be attracted to successful, intelligent people like Feng Ci. Madam Lu felt that she would never be attracted to Lu Zhaoying, who could only match Feng Ci in terms of looks…

Furthermore, would Cheng Juan, Qin Ran, or Song Luting even accept him…

Lu Zhaoying fell into silence.

He picked up his cap, headed upstairs, and called Cheng Juan.

…

At the same time.

Qin Ran was on the phone with He Chen, telling her that they were visiting with Film Emperor Qin tomorrow.

He Chen was still busy with her work, and she agreed without giving much thought.

When she returned home, Father and Mother He asked about He Jinxin while having dinner. “We’ve heard that something is going on at the Inspection Institute. Are you aware of it? Are your sister and her husband alright?”

“It’s just some shifts in the positions.” He Chen heard about it from Qin Ran. She ate some food and continued, “There will be three pillars of power in the Inspection Institute in the future. Sister will be fine.”

He Chen thought that the three pillars of power would be He Jinxin, Feng Loucheng, and Pan Mingyue. The inspection department belonged to the Yao Family, after all. Hence, Qin Ran would have given that position to Pan Mingyue eventually.

The He family trusted He Chen completely now, so they stopped discussing it after her assurance.

The next day, on a Friday.

The He family was done with their breakfast, but He Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Madam Zhang from the neighborhood came over.

“I’ve heard that Xiao Chen has returned.” Madam Zhang wanted to introduce He Chen to a boyfriend. She continued, “He’s a good pick. He’s the boss of a listed company…”

Madam Zhang then showed a picture to Mother He.

Mother He replied, “Erm… Isn’t he a bit old? Furthermore, he has a kid…”

He Chen was just 29. But the boss of the listed company looked at least 40…

“Sister, I only introduced him to you because of how close we are. The kid is just a few years old. His yearly income is a couple of millions, and he doesn’t mind your daughter.” Madam Zhang said, “There isn’t anyone else with such qualifications.”

“It’s alright, we don’t need your help.” Father He immediately rejected with a frown. “He looks as old as me!”

“Father He, do you think your daughter is still young? She doesn’t have many choices. If no one wants her, how can she marry?” Madam Zhang was offended and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, their helper entered the room in shock and said, “There… There are a lot of people outside. They said that they are here to propose to the Second Lady.”

Here to propose?

The He family was shocked. Father He rushed out immediately, and so did Madam Zhang. How could someone be better than the boss of a listed company?

Dozens of cars were parked outside. Other than Qin Ran and Cheng Juan, Chang Ning and the others were here as well. He Chen was getting popular these few years. Even Kenneth was here as well. Some of their cars were extravagant while others may look normal, but their car plates would show otherwise.

Everyone in the neighborhood was shocked by the cars.

Once Father and Mother He went out, they saw Qin Xiuchen in the center of it all. He was wearing formal attire and speaking to Qin Ran. Qin Xiuchen looked up and introduced himself to Father He when he came out. “Uncle He, I’m Qin Xiuchen.”

His handsome face was radiating.

Father He was shocked. After a while, he said, “Where’s He Chen? Tell… tell her to come down now…”
