"Is it that young man nad Xu Musen you're involved with?"
Zhu Changlin personally picked a piece of fish for his youngest daughter.
Zhu Yulan's expression paused for a mont, looking first at her father and then at her always-smiling sister.
In the end, she nodded, "Yes… what exactly do you want to ask?"
Zhu Yulan knew her father never cared about soone's life for no reason, even if it were his own relatives.
In his eyes, it seed money and power outweighed everything else.
Thus, when he ntioned Xu Musen's na, it definitely ant he was after sothing.
Perhaps even Zhu Yulan herself hadn't noticed that her usually calm deanor slightly changed when she heard the three words "Xu Musen".
Zhu Changlin's brow furrowed for a mont in response to his daughter's questioning tone.
Why did it feel like his daughter was defending the young man as if he were her boyfriend?
"Father, you should have so food too."
Zhu Xianglan took the opportunity to ease the tension by serving him a dish and then turned to look at her sister, smiling as she said, "Yu Lan, the reason we asked you to co ho for a al today is that Father wants to clarify the situation with the Huang Family. Indeed, our family didn't consider your feelings before, but that won't happen again in the future."
These words didn't hold much aning for Zhu Yulan anymore.
Still, her father's statent did alleviate so of the resentnt in her heart.
Zhu Changlin cald himself, looking at his youngest daughter, whose reaction had already indicated her answer.
"I was inconsiderate regarding Huang Tianming, but I still hope to find you soone outstanding. I want to ask you, what exactly are your thoughts about this young man nad Xu Musen?"
Zhu Changlin continued to beat around the bush. For him, everything could be laid out for negotiation.
Zhu Xianglan frowned slightly. The relations between her sister, Xu Musen, and a few other girls were quite complicated, but overall, her naïve sister probably ranked the lowest among them…
Yet, Zhu Yulan didn't show any panic after this sensitive subject was broached. She looked at her father, still with a calm expression, "What is my relationship with him, and why is it so important to you?"
Zhu Changlin frowned, suppressing his frustration, "Yu Lan, I know you have so grievances about what I did before, but I had my difficulties. You're also grown up now, and the Huhai circle isn't that big. You can't always just follow him around. If word gets out, it won't be good for you or the family."
"So what then? Are you arranging soone for again?"
In the end, Zhu Yulan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Zhu Changlin knew his daughter was resentful, and the matter with Huang Tianming had indeed been unexpected. He continued patiently, "Yu Lan, I'm not asking anything of you this ti. Since you want to find soone suitable on your own, there should also be a result soon. I've already looked into this Xu Musen's background, and I have no objections to this young man, but his current status is a bit sensitive. If you truly like him, you have to rectify your own status quickly."
Zhu Changlin's point was clear.
He had been keeping an eye on the young man's progress for a while. The developnt of the milk tea shop was one thing, but the Kangaroo delivery service he was currently working on did have market prospects.
Alliances between powerful families were good, but sotis one had to be wary of the other gradually eating away at one's enterprise.
However, a young man like Xu Musen, capable and with a clean family background, conducive to helping their family's developnt and also easy to control, was also a good choice.
Now, though, Xu Musen was already the An Family's prospective son-in-law, but they weren't married yet, and nothing official had been announced. Besides, for young people, changing partners after a failed relationship is quite normal.
And for boys of that age, being fickle is also normal.
With his daughter's conditions, if she could develop a relationship with the other party and reel in this golden bachelor Xu Musen into the Zhu Family household, then he could sit even more securely in his future position!
Zhu Yulan bit her lip; her heart was equally complex.
She couldn't deceive her own emotions, but as for what to do now, she didn't know how to proceed.
Although she always claid not to care how the family viewed her,
after all, she was a person, and what girl who t soone she liked wouldn't want her family's blessings?
After a mont of silence, she looked up at the man in front of her.
She showed a faint smile, "I'd like to ask then, are you speaking to now as a father, or as the Family Head of the Zhu Family?"
Zhu Yulan's words were devoid of any explosive tone but were sharper than a bullet.
Zhu Changlin's face changed; no one in the family dared to speak to him like that.
Only his youngest daughter did, but even his anger subsided after seeing his daughter's gaze.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I am your father, but I am also responsible for our family. Since you like him, neither I nor the family will object. Isn't that the best outco?"
Zhu Yulan imdiately followed up, "What if he's just a penniless nobody? Will you still support being with him then?"
