She was not young anymore. It was indeed not easy.

“Auntie, please wait with Yuning first. I’ll help him pack his luggage.” Zhang Meng stood up and turned to go to the bedroom.

“No need.” Xu Yuning was not in the mood to pack his luggage and said casually. However, it was not easy to persuade Xu Yuning to go home.

Mrs. Xu looked at Zhang Meng with a much gentler gaze. It was only when Xu Yuning and Mrs. Xu walked out of the apartment that Zhang Meng slowly put away the docile expression on her face and put on a cold expression.

On the way back, the mother and son sat in the backseat of the Lamborghini.

“Yuning, you’re not married yet. I won’t interfere too much with who you want to be with. But you should know very well that a woman like Zhang Meng can’t marry into our family. I’ve helped you choose a few good girls recently. Take the time to meet them.” Then, A4rs. Xu took out a few photos from her custom-made bag and handed them to Xu Yuning.

Xu Yuning took it with a cold expression.

Mrs. Xu excitedly introduced them to him. “This is the daughter of Director Huang, who is working with our corporation. I think her name is Huang Shuyi. She looks dignified and generous. Most importantly, she’s Director Huang’s only child. If the two of you really get together, won’t you be the only one who can use Director Huang’s resources and assets in the future?”

Xu Yuning did not reply and flipped to the next photo.

“This girl’s family background is not bad either. It’s comparable to our family, right? Her grandfathers’ families both started out in business. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was young. Her only flaw is that she has a younger brother. However, her family favors girls over boys and treats her even better than that boy. When the two of you get married in the future, your father-in-law’s family will definitely help you a lot at work.

“The last one is the one I’m most satisfied with. She’s the youngest daughter of Director Zhang of the Financial Department, Zhang Kehui. She also has an older brother who is in the scientific research field and is not at home all year round. Director Zhang’s wife has a good relationship with me. Their family is very upright. Moreover, Director Zhang’s career is flourishing. He’s also a popular person in front of Secretary Li.”

“None of them are as beautiful as Jiang Youyi.” Xu Yuning’s mind was filled with Jiang Youyi’s image. He did not look at any of the people in the photos carefully.

Mrs. Xu was furious and was about to flare up. She remembered that before she left the apartment, Zhang Meng had reminded her in a low voice not to quarrel with him and not to mention Jiang Youyi.

Hence, she learned her lesson this time and changed the topic. “I heard that Secretary Li’s daughter is going to celebrate her 18th birthday next week. She will definitely invite the socialites and rich young masters of Ocean City to her birthday banquet. There will be many people around your age at the ball. When the time comes, you can see for yourself. You can tell me and your father who you like.”

“I don’t want to go.”

“You have to go even if you don’t want to. Your sister is going without a male companion. How can you not accompany her?”

Xu Yuning’s face was filled with frustration, and Mrs. Xu was too embarrassed to continue.

The dramatic thing was that Jiang Youyi also received an invitation from Secretary Li’s wife.

A black card, mysterious and low-key. On it was written in elegant handwriting: “I sincerely invite Miss Jiang Youyi to participate in the 13th of this month’s coming-of-age ceremony for my youngest daughter, Li Tianxin, at the Rona Manor.”

The invitation letter in Jiang Youyi’s hand was brought back by her mother. Her mother would play mahjong and yoga with those rich ladies every day. So she brought it back for Jiang Youyi today.

“I’ve never interacted with Li Tianxin before. Why did they invite me?” Jiang Youyi was very puzzled.

“An invitation like this must have been sent out in a group. Most of the children of the rich and powerful families in Ocean City should have received it. If you don’t want to go, you can choose not to go,” Mrs. Jiang comforted her.

“What about Second Sister? Is she going?” Jiang Youyi asked.

“Your second sister can’t go. She’s going overseas to walk the red carpet recently.”

“What about Big Brother and Sister-in-law?”

“They didn’t receive any invitations. It seems that the people invited to this cocktail party are all unmarried men and women. In that case, you can walk around. There are many young people at the ball. What if you meet someone you like?”

“Forget it. 1 don’t like to go to crowded places.” Jiang Youyi placed the invitation on the coffee table and didn’t think too much about it.

***

At night, her good friend Zhong Xiaohui suddenly sent her a message. Zhong Xiaohui said, “Youyi, you’re so awesome. You even got Miss Li’s invitation.” Jiang Youyi: “Huh? How did you know?”

Zhong Xiaohui: “Didn’t you check Weibo today?”

Jiang Youyi: “I’m scared of Weibo now. I don’t usually swipe it..”
